Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for the University of Northampton's art courses?

Absolutely. Many of our Art tutors are experienced in portfolio preparation and can provide expert guidance on what top universities, including the University of Northampton, are looking for. They can help your child select their best work, refine their pieces, and present a compelling and professional portfolio.

My child's school in Northampton focuses heavily on traditional subjects. How can a tutor fill the creative gap?

This is a common concern, and it's exactly where a tutor can help. A private tutor provides the dedicated, one-to-one creative space your child needs to explore techniques and ideas beyond the curriculum, ensuring their passion is nurtured and their skills are developed to their full potential.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.

How much does private Art tuition cost?

The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can an online tutor see my child's artwork properly?

Our online classroom is designed for subjects just like Art. Your child can use their webcam to show their work in progress, and they can also upload high-quality photos or scans for the tutor to review and provide detailed feedback on.

Can tutoring help my child build confidence in their artistic abilities?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits. A great tutor provides a supportive and encouraging environment where your child can experiment and grow without the fear of making mistakes. This one-to-one attention often leads to a huge boost in their creative confidence.

Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.

What equipment does my child need for online Art lessons?

All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and their usual art supplies. The tutor will let you know in advance if any specific materials are needed for a particular lesson.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic support for GCSEs and A-Levels, your child can learn practical skills like coding or playing the guitar, or even get help with university-level courses.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents and files. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.

Can tutoring help my child build confidence in their artistic abilities?

This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam or complete a project, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
