Nikki has been great so far. It has only been a couple of lessons but she has already built up confidence in my daughter, who is in Year 11 and getting ready to pull together her portfolio for Fine Art GCSE.
Nikki sends prep ahead of the each session which is also very thoughtful and really helpful.
Glad I found her !

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for Nottingham Trent University?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Art tutors have experience helping students build compelling portfolios for competitive university courses. They can provide expert feedback, help your child select their strongest work, and offer guidance on developing the technical skills and creative ideas that admissions tutors are looking for.
Are tutors familiar with the requirements of local Nottingham colleges?
You can easily find a tutor with the right experience for your child. On each tutor's profile, you can see their background, including their own education and teaching specialisms. You can also message them before booking to ask about their familiarity with the specific courses or colleges your child is interested in.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos to get a feel for a tutor's personality, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before you book your first session.
How does online tutoring work for a practical subject like Art?
It works surprisingly well! Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to share examples, sketch ideas, and give live feedback on your child's work. Students can use a webcam or phone camera to show their art in real-time, allowing the tutor to guide them on everything from brush strokes to composition.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online Art tutor in Nottingham cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every single one to ensure they are knowledgeable, passionate, and brilliant at what they do. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in their art?
A great tutor is also a great confidence-builder. By providing patient, one-to-one encouragement in a supportive space, they can help your child rediscover their love for art, celebrate their progress, and feel proud of what they create.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we support core academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby. From learning to play the guitar to coding in Python, we believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms.
What materials will my child need for their online lessons?
This will depend on what your child wants to focus on. They will need a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection. The tutor will discuss any specific art supplies, like sketchbooks or paints, with you before the sessions begin.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session a week works best. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what will work for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person and agreed on a time, you can book your first session and begin right away.
