Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study at UAL or Goldsmiths. Can a tutor help their portfolio stand out?

Absolutely. Many of our Design and Technology tutors have experience in helping students prepare portfolios for top creative universities. They can provide invaluable feedback, help your child articulate their creative process, and ensure their work meets the high standards these institutions look for.

With so many creative industries in Hackney, how can a tutor give my child a competitive edge?

A tutor can act as a mentor, bringing real-world insight into the creative process. They can help your child develop a more professional approach to their projects, from initial concept to final execution, giving them the skills and confidence to stand out in a competitive environment.

How do I choose the right D&T tutor for my child?

It's a great idea to watch tutors' intro videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. You can message them for free before booking to discuss your child's specific goals, whether that's for their GCSE coursework or A-Level exams. Finding someone your child connects with is key.

How much does a Design and Technology tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

What happens in an online D&T lesson?

Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making it easy to discuss practical work. Your child can share photos of their projects, get feedback on sketches, and work through technical challenges with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is, which is 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.

What qualifications do your tutors have?

Our tutors come from a range of backgrounds, including experienced teachers, examiners, and industry professionals. We vet every single one and only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted onto our platform. All tutors are also background checked, giving you complete peace of mind.

How can tutoring build my child's confidence in their creative ideas?

Sometimes, all a child needs is a safe space to explore their ideas without fear of getting it 'wrong'. A tutor provides that supportive environment, encouraging them to experiment and helping them develop the technical skills to bring their vision to life.

Is tutoring just for school subjects? My child is also interested in graphic design software.

Not at all! We have tutors for a huge range of skills. Alongside core academic subjects, you can find experts in everything from Adobe Photoshop and coding to learning a musical instrument. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam or project deadline. You can discuss what works best directly with your chosen tutor.

How quickly can we find a tutor?

You can find and book a tutor in a matter of minutes. Many of our tutors can offer lessons within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.

What qualifications do your tutors have?
