asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child with their portfolio for a De Montfort University application?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our Design and Technology tutors have experience helping students prepare standout portfolios for competitive university courses. They can provide expert feedback and guide your child on how to best showcase their skills and creativity to meet the standards of institutions like De Montfort.

My child is considering an apprenticeship in Leicester's manufacturing sector. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. A tutor can help your child develop the specific practical skills and technical understanding that local employers in the advanced manufacturing sector are looking for. They can work on project work that demonstrates these abilities, giving your child a real advantage in their applications.

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 message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.

How much does online tutoring cost in Leicester?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who is a great fit for your family. All pricing is clear and upfront on the tutor's profile.

Are the tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an ID check and a DBS background check, before they can join Tutorful.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat. A tutor can use these to review coursework, demonstrate technical concepts, and give live feedback on portfolio work, making each session engaging and productive.

How can tutoring build my child's confidence?

One-to-one support allows your child to ask questions in a safe, encouraging space without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to master tricky topics and see their ideas improve, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.

How often should my child have lessons?

Most families find that one session a week works well for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons leading up to an exam or project deadline. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them.

How can tutoring build my child's confidence?

That's the great thing about online tutoring. There's no travel time involved, and with tutors available from early morning to late evening, seven days a week, it's much easier to find a time that fits around school, clubs, and family commitments.
