Sarah is a very patient and fantastic teacher. I really appreciated the tips she gave to help improve my technique, I would recommend her whether you are just starting out violin or rediscovering a previous passion.

Paul K
Paul is a wonderful tutor match if, like me, you need someone who is not only passionate about playing music with feeling, but is also kind, compassionate and confidence building! I'm an adult student (in Ireland) who played violin until age 16 then let it go for over 40 years...until now! Although my playing is back to beginner level, Paul is giving me the encouragement and appropriate challenges to build my ability and confidence up. His positivity and lightness make this a joyful learning exploration rather than a hard or heavy lesson, and I am very grateful for his intuitive understanding of what is needed. Highly recommend!

Marie C
It was a very lovely inspiring session. Son’s confidence and determination to playing the piece was reassured by Marie, as she she showed him he could deliver areas in the piece he had felt was too difficult.
Marie wasn’t about the the time booked, but the comfort of knowing her student was comfortable and understood the lesson. This wasn’t a pressured teaching method, rather ensuring the students love for music continued.
I was so pleased with the session, and hearing my son’s feedback, on how enjoyed the lesson so much, that I booked the next lesson immediately.
I will highly recommend her as a tutor to any student.

My child is preparing for an audition at a London junior conservatoire. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our specialist music tutors have experience preparing students for competitive auditions at institutions like the Guildhall School or Royal College of Music. They can help your child perfect their pieces, build performance confidence, and understand what examiners are looking for.
We're aiming for a music scholarship at a competitive London school. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, you can. When searching, you can view tutor profiles to see their specific experience and qualifications. Many have successfully guided students through the scholarship process for top independent schools and can tailor lessons to meet the required standard.
How do I choose the right violin tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We also have over 4,100 customer reviews to help you decide with confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first violin tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online violin lessons actually work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s an interactive and engaging way for your child to learn, allowing the tutor to demonstrate techniques and provide instant feedback, just like in person.
How much do online violin lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that fits your price range. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. By working at your child's pace in a relaxed environment, tutors can help them overcome challenges, celebrate their progress, and build the self-belief they need to perform at their best.
Do you only offer academic tutoring, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic subjects, your child can learn everything from musical instruments like the violin or guitar to coding, languages, and even music production.
Can my child get help with music theory as well as practical violin skills?
Yes, definitely. Many of our violin tutors are also able to teach music theory, which is often a key part of grade exams and auditions. You can check their individual profiles or send them a message to confirm they cover what you need.
How long is a typical lesson?
The most common lesson length is one hour, but you can arrange different durations with your tutor. It's flexible, so you can find a rhythm that works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
Are the tutors background-checked?
