Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an Art tutor help my child build a portfolio specifically for Teesside University?
Absolutely. Many of our Art tutors have experience helping students prepare successful applications for top UK universities. They can provide expert feedback and guide your child on creating a portfolio that meets the specific requirements and high standards of competitive courses like those at Teesside.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child in Middlesbrough?
It’s easy to find the perfect fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—whether that's portfolio development or building technical skills—to make sure you find someone you and your child connect with.
What happens if we don't click with the first Art tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 online Art tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors familiar with the creative scene in Middlesbrough and the North East?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many have broad experience with the UK's regional creative hubs and university requirements. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their familiarity with the local art scene or specific university expectations to find the best match for your child.
How do online Art lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. This makes it easy for them to share their work in real-time, get instant feedback on a sketch, or discuss art theory with their tutor face-to-face.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passions.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and verified expert.
Can tutoring help my child if they are already talented in Art?
Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for catching up; it's also for helping talented students excel. A tutor can introduce your child to advanced techniques, challenge them with complex concepts, and provide the mentorship needed to push their creative boundaries far beyond the school curriculum.
What equipment does my child need for an online Art lesson?
All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a stable internet connection, and their usual art supplies. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be simple and accessible for everyone.
How can a tutor help my child become more confident in their creative ideas?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space for your child to explore their ideas without fear of judgement. A tutor acts as a personal mentor, encouraging experimentation, celebrating their unique style, and giving them the constructive feedback needed to believe in their own creative vision.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
This varies for every child, as progress depends on their starting point and goals. However, many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and skills after just a few sessions. The benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that the pace is set entirely by your child's needs.
