Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried their D&T portfolio won't be strong enough for a university like UEA. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents, and it's exactly where a tutor can help most. They can assess your child's current work, identify areas for improvement, and introduce advanced projects and techniques that will make their portfolio stand out to university admissions teams.

With tech companies like BT on our doorstep in Ipswich, how can a tutor give my child a competitive edge?

A great tutor can connect what your child is learning to real-world applications. They can focus on developing the specific skills that local tech employers value, such as problem-solving, project management, and proficiency with industry-standard software, giving your child a clearer path towards a future career.

How do I choose the right Design and Technology tutor for my child?

It's a great idea to read through tutor profiles, check their experience, and look at reviews from other parents. You can message them for free to discuss your child's specific needs—like portfolio development or specific software skills—to make sure they're the perfect match before booking a lesson.

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

We understand that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 much does online Design and Technology tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 an hour. The cost can vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It’s simple! All lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child can work through problems and share their screen, making it just as effective as being in the same room.

Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to master new skills and see their work improve, their confidence naturally grows.

Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.

How long does a typical lesson last?

Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by messaging the tutor directly to see what works best for you both.

What equipment does my child need for an online lesson?

All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any complicated software.

How does online tutoring actually work?

This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific project, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss a plan with your chosen tutor to find what's right for your child.
