Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive grammar school sixth form in Kent. Can a tutor help them stand out with D&T?

Absolutely. A private tutor can help your child secure the top grades and develop a high-quality practical portfolio that complements a strong academic profile. This demonstrates a breadth of skill and creativity that can make their application much more compelling in a competitive field.

We're worried D&T isn't 'academic' enough for top universities. How can a tutor help?

This is a common concern, but top universities highly value the skills D&T develops. A tutor can help your child articulate how their project work demonstrates advanced problem-solving, project management, and analytical skills – all key for demanding degrees like engineering or architecture.

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

The best place to start is by reading the detailed profiles and reviews from other parents on our platform. You can see each tutor's experience, specialisms, and their teaching style. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.

How can an online tutor help with a practical subject like D&T?

Our online classroom is built for subjects like D&T. Tutors and students can use the interactive whiteboard to sketch designs, share files to review coursework and portfolios, and work through complex theories together. It's a fantastic way to get expert feedback on practical work.

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

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget.

Are your tutors qualified to teach my child?

Yes. We have a strict selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors are interviewed, vetted, and background-checked, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them master tricky topics, see their own progress, and feel much more confident in their abilities.

What if we don't like the first lesson?

We want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor. With 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 quickly can we start lessons?

You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer lessons within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile.

How do I know my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and the topics they've been covering in their lessons.

Do you only offer tutors for school subjects like GCSEs and A-Levels?

While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or prepare for a music theory exam, we have an expert tutor who can help.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is perfect for keeping students engaged and focused. However, you can discuss your needs with your tutor, as many are flexible and can arrange longer sessions if required.
