Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for competitive London universities like Goldsmiths or Camberwell?
Absolutely. Many of our Art tutors have specific experience in helping students build standout portfolios for entry to top UK art schools. They can provide expert feedback, help develop conceptual ideas, and ensure your child's work meets the high standards required for these applications.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
It's a great idea to read through tutor profiles, check their experience, and watch their introductory videos. You can see what other parents have said in their reviews, which often gives you a great feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific goals.
My child's school in South East London has limited resources. Can a tutor help them explore more advanced techniques?
Yes, this is a perfect way to use a tutor. They can introduce your child to new materials, digital software, or advanced artistic theories that might not be covered in the school curriculum, helping to broaden their skills and enrich their portfolio.
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, 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 has all the tools your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sketching out ideas, and a screen-sharing function. This means a tutor can look at your child's work in real-time, demonstrate techniques, and share inspirational resources easily.
How much does online Art tutoring cost in South East London?
The price of tutoring varies 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 the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and carry out background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build creative confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert can be a huge confidence booster. When a tutor praises their ideas or helps them overcome a technical hurdle, it validates their ability and encourages them to take more creative risks, which is vital for any young artist.
Is tutoring 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 a musical instrument like the guitar, get to grips with coding in Python, or master a new language, we have expert tutors to help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works perfectly, as it provides consistency and allows time for your child to work on things between sessions. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child.
Can we get help specifically with GCSE or A-Level Art?
Of course. Our tutors are very experienced with the specific requirements of exam boards. They can help your child understand the assessment objectives, develop their coursework, and prepare for their final exam, helping them secure the best possible grade.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child and their work. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, look at their current portfolio, and discuss their goals. It's a relaxed way to build a relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
