Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to a top design university like Central Saint Martins or The Bartlett. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our Design and Technology tutors are graduates or lecturers from top universities themselves. They can provide invaluable guidance on building a standout portfolio, preparing for interviews, and understanding what admissions tutors are looking for beyond the A-Level curriculum.

We're in East London, close to the tech hubs. Can a tutor teach my child skills relevant to those industries?

Definitely. Our tutors can go beyond the school syllabus to focus on the cutting-edge skills used in industry today. This could include advanced CAD, user experience (UX) principles, or sustainable design practices, giving your child a genuine advantage.

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

It's a great question. You can start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Look for someone whose experience matches your child’s goals – whether that’s product design, architecture, or textiles. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're the right fit.

What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?

We understand that finding the right personality match is key. 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 do online Design and Technology tutors in East London cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. This means you can find an amazing, affordable tutor who fits your family's budget.

How do online D&T lessons work?

They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard for sketching ideas, screen sharing for demonstrating software like CAD, and file sharing for reviewing portfolio work. It's a dynamic and effective way to learn practical skills from home.

Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in the subject?

One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can make a world of difference. They can go back over topics your child finds tricky, break them down in a new way, and celebrate small wins to help rebuild their self-belief.

Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like D&T?

Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.

What qualifications do your Design and Technology tutors have?

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many have degrees in design, engineering, or architecture from top universities, while others are experienced teachers or industry professionals. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications on their profile.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam or a university application, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. It's completely flexible and up to you.

Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?

You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found a tutor and had their first session within 48 hours.
