Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is considering an engineering degree at the University of Southampton. Can a tutor help them show how D&T supports this?

Absolutely. A great Design and Technology tutor can focus on the STEM aspects of the curriculum, helping your child master the maths, physics, and material science concepts that are fundamental to engineering. They can ensure your child's project work demonstrates the problem-solving and analytical skills that admissions tutors at top universities look for.

We're aiming for a competitive creative course at Solent University. How can a tutor help with my child's portfolio?

A specialist tutor can be a huge help here. They can act as a mentor, offering expert feedback on your child's coursework and practical projects. They can help refine ideas, improve technical execution, and guide your child in curating a portfolio that showcases their unique creative voice and technical ability, making their application much stronger.

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

It's a great question. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and send messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great match for your child.

How much do Design and Technology tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.

My child lacks confidence in D&T, especially with the theory. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's confidence and help them discover a real enjoyment for the subject.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's very straightforward. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child can work on everything from exam technique to practical project plans with their tutor in real-time.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to our platform, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 can a tutor help with my child's D&T coursework or NEA?

A tutor can provide invaluable guidance on the Non-Examined Assessment (NEA). While they can't do the work for your child, they can help them understand the marking criteria, structure their research, manage their time effectively, and act as a sounding board for ideas to help them achieve their best possible mark.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Most sessions are one hour long, and most students have one lesson per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange longer sessions or have them more or less frequently depending on your child's needs, such as extra lessons in the run-up to an exam or coursework deadline.

What happens in the first lesson?

The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys in Design and Technology, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects for exams like GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical and creative skills, from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
