Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive London art school like UAL or Goldsmiths. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Art tutors are experienced in helping students with applications to top universities and foundation courses. They can provide expert guidance on building a portfolio that meets the specific requirements of institutions like UAL and Goldsmiths, helping your child present their work in the best possible light.
We live in East London and are worried about the competition. Can a tutor specifically help my child develop a standout portfolio?
This is a very common concern, and it's exactly where a tutor can make a difference. They can act as a mentor, helping your child explore new ideas, develop stronger concepts, and refine their technical skills to create a portfolio that is both unique and compelling, helping them stand out from other applicants.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, check their qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors directly before booking to ask any questions you have.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Art tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online Art tutors cost?
The price varies depending on a tutor's experience. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is shown clearly on their profile, so you can find an amazing tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with school Art, your child can also learn skills like music production, coding, guitar, or even a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in their art?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions and experiment with their art without fear of judgement. A great tutor's encouragement and personalised feedback can do wonders for their self-belief, helping them see their own potential.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a tool for sharing documents and artwork. It’s a secure and convenient way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Can we get help with specific A-Level Art topics?
Of course. Whether your child needs support with art history analysis, developing their personal study, or preparing for their final exam, a tutor can create lessons focused on the exact areas of the A-Level curriculum they find most challenging.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is automatically taken 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never have to deal with cash or awkward payment conversations.
