Art is so much more than just a subject; it's a way for your child to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Mastering techniques like life drawing, digital illustration, or sculpture doesn't just build a great portfolio. It teaches them problem-solving, attention to detail, and how to communicate complex ideas visually. These are invaluable skills that will prepare them for a foundation course, a degree at a top university like DMU, and a successful career in the UK's thriving creative industries.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with their portfolio for De Montfort University or Leicester College?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Leicester seek our tutors. An experienced Art tutor can provide specialist guidance on portfolio curation, helping your child select their strongest pieces, develop a cohesive theme, and present their work professionally to meet the high standards of institutions like DMU and Leicester College.
What makes online tutoring a good choice for us in Leicester?
While Leicester has great local talent, online tutoring gives your child access to a UK-wide network of specialists. You could find a tutor who is a graduate of the exact university course your child is aiming for, or an expert in a niche area like digital animation or fashion illustration, giving them an even greater competitive edge.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see ratings from other parents just like you – our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's goals and make sure they're a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and inspired, which is 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 do online art lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed for creative subjects. It includes an interactive whiteboard for sketching out ideas, screen sharing for demonstrating digital techniques, and easy file sharing so your child can get direct feedback on their latest piece of work. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam.
How much does an Art tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and background, and are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check, and we personally interview them to ensure they are passionate, knowledgeable, and ready to support your child.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their art?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to experiment and even make mistakes without pressure. A tutor acts as a personal mentor, celebrating their progress and providing the constructive feedback needed to turn creative uncertainty into confidence.
Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like Art?
Not at all! We believe in changing lives through all kinds of learning. Alongside academic subjects, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn practical skills like coding with Python.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some students need a short burst of lessons to prepare a portfolio for a specific deadline, while others benefit from regular, ongoing sessions to develop their skills over time. It's completely flexible and based on your child's individual needs.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson booked in for this week. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message, and arrange a time that works for you.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Our goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable. Over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, but the benefits go beyond that. For Art students, success means building a portfolio they are proud of and developing the skills needed to pursue their creative ambitions.
