Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL). Can a tutor help strengthen their GCSE portfolio for this?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused guidance to help your child refine their coursework, explore new techniques, and develop standout pieces that meet the high standards of selective sixth forms. They can act as a mentor, helping them build a portfolio that truly shows off their potential.
We live in Leeds and my child is hoping to apply to Leeds Arts University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our Art tutors have experience helping students prepare strong portfolios specifically for university and foundation course applications. They can provide invaluable feedback and guidance on creating a body of work that meets the expectations of prestigious institutions.
What happens if we don't click with the first Art tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. 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 do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. We recommend watching their intro video and messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's goals.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in their creative abilities?
A great tutor is also a great mentor. They can provide a supportive, encouraging space for your child to experiment without fear of failure. By focusing on their strengths and gently guiding them through challenges, a tutor can help rebuild their creative confidence and passion for the subject.
How much does online Art tutoring in Leeds 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 contracts.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online art lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. This makes it easy for them to share their work, get real-time feedback on their drawing or painting techniques, and discuss ideas with their tutor.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like Art?
Not at all! We believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms. We have thousands of tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning the guitar or coding in Python to mastering a new language for a family holiday.
Can we get help with a specific exam board, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with specific exam boards and their marking criteria. You can see which boards a tutor specialises in on their profile or ask them directly in a message.
How often should my child have an Art lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Most families start with one session a week, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on your goals, whether that's ongoing support or intensive help before a portfolio deadline.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to review progress, work on a specific technique or project, and set goals for the next session without it feeling overwhelming for your child.
