Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for University of the Arts London (UAL)?

Absolutely. Many of our Art tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for applications to top art colleges like UAL. They can provide expert feedback, help your child select their strongest pieces, and guide them in developing new work that showcases their unique vision and technical skill.

My child goes to a competitive Hackney school. How can a tutor add to what they're already learning?

That's a great question. While school provides a strong foundation, a one-to-one tutor can offer personalised mentorship that goes beyond the curriculum. They can focus entirely on your child's individual style, help them explore advanced techniques not covered in class, and give them the dedicated attention needed to turn a good portfolio into an exceptional one.

How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, specialisms, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their intro videos and messaging a few to find someone who you feel is the right fit for your child's personality and artistic goals. It's about finding a mentor they can connect with.

What happens in a typical online Art lesson?

Our online classroom is designed for creative subjects. It includes an interactive whiteboard that your child and their tutor can sketch on together, plus screen sharing to review digital work or analyse other artists' techniques. They can easily share files, discuss progress, and get real-time feedback, just as they would in person.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Art tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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 cost?

Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or booking fees.

How are your tutors vetted?

We take your child's safety very seriously. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and have their ID and qualifications verified, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence in their art?

One-to-one attention from an expert who believes in your child's talent can be incredibly encouraging. By celebrating their progress and providing constructive guidance in a supportive space, tutors help students overcome creative blocks and develop real self-belief in their artistic abilities.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills and passions beyond the curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or pick up a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.

How many students have you helped?

We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews, you can feel confident that you're in good hands.

How long will it take to see progress in my child's artwork?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one nature of tutoring means progress can often be seen quickly. Your tutor will work with your child to set clear goals, and you'll be able to see their skills and confidence grow with each session.

How are your tutors vetted?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
