Can a tutor help my child strengthen their application for Queen Mary's College or BCoT?

Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child polish their Design and Technology portfolio and prepare for the academic demands of these respected local colleges, ensuring their application is as strong as it can be.

Are tutors familiar with the requirements for local apprenticeships in the tech sector?

Many of our tutors have industry experience and a great understanding of the skills local tech companies in and around Basingstoke are looking for. They can help your child develop and showcase the practical abilities that will make them a standout candidate.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality that will click with your child.

How can online tutoring work for a practical subject like D&T?

Our online classroom has interactive tools like whiteboards that are perfect for sketching ideas and planning projects. Tutors can share resources, review digital portfolio work, and talk through practical techniques, providing expert guidance every step of the way.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does a Design and Technology tutor cost in Basingstoke?

Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 an hour. You can filter by price on our search page to find an experienced, five-star tutor who fits your family's budget.

How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?

One-to-one attention from an expert can make a huge difference. When a tutor celebrates small wins and patiently works through challenges, it helps your child see their own potential, building their self-belief both in the subject and beyond.

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means progress can happen quickly. Because lessons focus on exactly what your child needs, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like D&T, Maths and English, our tutors also offer lessons in hobbies and life skills, from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking.

Can a tutor help specifically with my child's coursework portfolio?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek a D&T tutor. An expert can provide invaluable feedback on your child's project, helping them refine their ideas and present their work in a way that clearly demonstrates their skills and creativity.

What if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life is busy, and we get that. Our tutors are generally very flexible. You can rearrange or cancel lessons with your tutor directly, usually with 24 hours' notice, making it easy to fit learning around your family's schedule.
