Nikki has been great so far. It has only been a couple of lessons but she has already built up confidence in my daughter, who is in Year 11 and getting ready to pull together her portfolio for Fine Art GCSE.
Nikki sends prep ahead of the each session which is also very thoughtful and really helpful.
Glad I found her !

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio for colleges like Barton Peveril or Peter Symonds?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Art tutors specialise in portfolio development. They can provide expert guidance on selecting the strongest pieces, developing new work to fill any gaps, and presenting it all professionally to meet the specific requirements of competitive local colleges.
My child is considering a creative degree at Solent University. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Definitely. Our tutors, many of whom have degrees and industry experience themselves, can help your child understand what universities like Solent or the Winchester School of Art are looking for. They can assist with everything from refining technical skills to preparing for interviews and writing a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right Art tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How much does online Art tutoring cost in Southampton?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online Art tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share files. Your child can show their work in real-time, and the tutor can draw directly on the screen to demonstrate techniques, just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space can make a huge difference. A tutor can celebrate your child's successes, help them work through creative blocks without pressure, and give them the encouragement they need to experiment and find their own unique artistic voice.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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.
What background checks do your tutors have?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Art?
Not at all! We believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms. Alongside academic subjects, you can find expert tutors for hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without it being too long. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Are we tied into a contract?
No, there are no contracts or long-term commitments. You can book lessons as and when you need them, whether that's for regular weekly support or just a few sessions to prepare for an application deadline.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students need a few sessions to overcome a specific hurdle, while others benefit from ongoing weekly support. You can discuss a plan with your chosen tutor after the first lesson.
