Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to study engineering at a competitive university like Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our Design and Technology tutors have experience helping students with their university applications. They can help your child build a strong portfolio, prepare for interviews, and demonstrate a passion for the subject that goes beyond the A-Level curriculum, helping their application stand out.

Given Gloucester's engineering industry, can we find a D&T tutor with practical experience?

Yes, you can. When you search, you can view detailed tutor profiles which include their professional background. Many of our tutors have worked in fields like product design, engineering, and architecture, and they can offer your child invaluable insights into how their classroom skills apply in the real world.

What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside helping your child with their Design and Technology GCSE or A-Level, we can also connect you with tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like guitar to practical skills like coding.

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

You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.

How much does online D&T tutoring cost in Gloucester?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How can a tutor help my child with their D&T coursework?

This is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. A tutor can't do the work for them, but they can provide expert guidance on research, planning, prototyping, and evaluation. They act as a sounding board, helping your child structure their project and articulate their ideas effectively to meet the marking criteria.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. It's simple to use and allows tutors to share diagrams, work through CAD designs, and review project work in real-time.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can patiently go over topics until they click, and that success is a huge confidence booster.

How long are the lessons?

Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

How can a tutor help my child with their D&T coursework?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you often see progress quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
