Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants a T-Level at Northampton College. Can a tutor help with their portfolio?

Yes, absolutely. Our Design and Technology tutors can provide expert guidance on your child's portfolio. They can help them refine their projects, document their process effectively, and present their work in a professional way that meets the high standards expected by colleges like Northampton College.

We're aiming for A-Levels at a competitive school like Northampton School for Boys. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. A tutor can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and develop a standout coursework project that demonstrates their passion and skill. This can make a significant difference in a competitive application process for sixth forms and A-Level courses.

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

It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading through tutor profiles, checking their experience, and looking at reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and goals.

How does online tutoring for a practical subject like D&T actually work?

It works surprisingly well! Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, and file sharing features. Tutors can review CAD designs in real-time, sketch out ideas, and talk through practical techniques, providing close guidance on the digital and theoretical sides of the subject.

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

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. 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 extra costs.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right connection is key to learning. 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.

Can a tutor also help with the written exam part of D&T?

Yes. A tutor can be a huge help with the theory and exam preparation. They can go over tricky topics, work through past papers, and help your child develop the exam technique they need to write clear, high-scoring answers.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, and you can message them at any time to ask for updates. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow as they start to feel more capable and in control of their work.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

There's no set rule. Some students just need a few sessions to get over a specific hurdle, like a tricky part of their coursework. Others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with their tutor to decide what's best.

What equipment do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of pursuits, not just school subjects. Whether your child wants to learn coding, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find brilliant, passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
