An expert tutor helps your child articulate these skills through their work, transforming their portfolio from a simple collection of pieces into a compelling story of their talent and dedication.

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 an Art tutor help my child build a portfolio for a course at York College or Leeds Arts University?
Absolutely. Many of our Art tutors are experienced in portfolio preparation. They can provide invaluable guidance on selecting the right pieces, structuring the portfolio to tell a compelling story, and ensuring it meets the specific requirements of institutions like York College or Leeds Arts University.
My child wants to apply to the University of York. Can a tutor help their Art A-Level strengthen their application?
Yes. A great Art tutor can help your child develop and articulate the transferable skills that Russell Group universities value, such as critical analysis, research, and independent project management. They can ensure your child's personal statement and portfolio effectively showcase these skills, strengthening their overall application.
How do I choose the best Art tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps ensure you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. If for any reason you feel the first lesson wasn't a good fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.
How much does online Art tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sketching out ideas, and a tool for sharing documents and images of your child's artwork. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their creative work?
Confidence comes from understanding and progress. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to explore ideas and receive constructive feedback. By breaking down complex tasks and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own ability, which is a huge confidence booster.
Can we get help with a specific part of the Art A-Level, like the personal study?
Of course. One-to-one tutoring is perfect for targeted support. Whether your child needs help structuring their essay, refining their research, or analysing the work of other artists, their tutor can create lessons that focus specifically on the personal study component.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe for keeping students engaged. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange longer or shorter sessions if you prefer.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start looking right away. Many of our tutors respond to messages quickly and have flexible schedules, so it's often possible to find the right person and have your first lesson booked within a day or two.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning instruments like the guitar or piano to picking up skills in coding or music production, we have expert tutors ready to help your child explore their passions.
