asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study Architecture at UCL. Can a tutor help them build a strong portfolio?
Absolutely. Many of our Design and Technology tutors have specific experience in architecture and can provide expert guidance on developing a portfolio that showcases creativity, technical skill, and a strong understanding of design principles—exactly what top universities like UCL look for.
Competition is fierce in Central London. How can a tutor give my child an edge for a STEM course at Imperial?
A great tutor can help your child connect the dots between their D&T projects and the core principles of engineering and science. They can work with them to highlight the advanced problem-solving, data analysis, and practical application of theory in their personal statement and coursework, demonstrating the academic rigour that impresses universities like Imperial.
How do I choose the right Design and Technology tutor for my child?
It's a great question. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. It's all about finding someone your child connects with and who has the right experience for their specific goals.
How can a tutor help with my child's D&T coursework or NEA (Non-Exam Assessment)?
Our tutors can provide fantastic support with the NEA. They can act as a sounding board for ideas, help your child structure their research and documentation, and offer guidance on technical skills, all while ensuring the final work is entirely your child's own. It helps reduce stress and keeps them on track.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It’s important to us that your child feels comfortable and supported.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications checked. We also carry out enhanced DBS background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How much does online Design and Technology tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sketching ideas or working through problems, and a way to share documents and files. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a good internet connection.
My child is losing confidence in D&T. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief and rediscover their enjoyment of the subject.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with specific skills like AutoCAD or coding?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of areas beyond the school curriculum. Many of our D&T tutors are experts in industry-standard software like AutoCAD or SolidWorks, and we also have specialists in everything from Python programming to playing the guitar. You can find a tutor for almost any skill.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, as this is usually most effective for maintaining focus and making good progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
