Will Design and Technology really help my child get into a top university like UCL or Imperial from Barnet?

Absolutely. Leading universities value students with a diverse and rigorous academic profile. D&T demonstrates critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and practical application – skills highly sought after in engineering, architecture, product design, and even business degrees. A strong D&T qualification, supported by a Tutorful expert, can significantly enhance your child's application.

Can a Design and Technology tutor help my child excel for competitive grammar schools like QE Boys or Henrietta Barnett?

Yes, a D&T tutor can certainly help. While these schools are highly academic, excelling in any subject, including Design and Technology, builds a robust academic profile and boosts confidence. A tutor can help your child master complex concepts, refine project work, and ensure they achieve the highest possible grades, demonstrating their capability across a broad range of subjects.

Does Tutorful only offer school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a wide range of subjects beyond traditional school curricula! Your child can find tutors for academic subjects like Design and Technology, Maths, or English, but also for skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, personal development, or even a new language. It's all about fostering a love for learning and new abilities.

What if my child doesn't get along with their first Design and Technology tutor?

We want your child to find the perfect match. That's why we offer a 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in Design and Technology?

One-to-one tutoring creates a supportive, judgment-free space where your child can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace.
