Seb is helping me with my Project Propossal for my honours degree in Digital Design, having dyslexia i struggle with processing and written work. Seb explained everything to me ensuring i understand and can apply it to my work. After one session my work has improved massively, i am looking forward to seeing more progress in my dissertation and i recomend Seb to anybody looking for help improving their writing skills in essays and dissertations.

Sarah has been a great support to my son with his Graphic Design A level. She has so much knowledge and experience. He now understands the design process and how to organise his book work to support his research. I would definitely recommend Sarah.

Very impressed by him when I had my first session. He’s even far more better than my current graphic design teacher! He provides clear structure and guidance for the course

Supported my son with his Graphic design A2 level. Wish we’d found him sooner, he’s made such a difference in such a short space of time, he’s very engaging, knowledgeable, flexible and brought my son out of his shell by being so patient and helpful, nothing was a bother and my son built a great rapport with him. Highly recommend 👌

Lili is fantastic and i enjoy listening over the session she has with my son for A Level Graphic Design. She has her work cut out for her as my son is not the most talkative, but she doesn't let this deter her and she continues to try and build the rapport and be relatable to the topic of choice. She's very patient, funny and really probes and questions him further in order to make him think about the direction he wants to go and shares some really good examples of how he can look to explore this further. I can already see a change in him where he is starting to approach things differently and with Lili's help i'm confident over time this will become easier. Another great session.

Candice W
I have only had a couple of classes with Candice so far but I already know chosing her as my tutor was the right decision. I'm getting the sense that she is very good at adjusting to the needs of the individual student; wether it's concerning how to support me in areas I struggle with or knowing what my interests are and providing tasks I would find inspiring. Candice is very encouraging and provides structured classes and assignments so you never feel confused about what is expected of you. She always replies to messages and emails outside of class if you get stuck and need some extra help. I would warmly recommend her to everyone looking for a tutor in the subjects she teaches. Especially if confidence is an issue for you or you would like to improve your performance. Graphic Design was my weakest subject in my first year of A-Levels but now, with her help, I feel like I might actually be able to achieve the grade I want. On top of that the process feels fun and engaging again rather than frustrating and discouraging.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor really help my child with their application to the Glasgow School of Art?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our Graphic Design tutors are industry professionals and experienced educators who understand what top art schools are looking for. They can provide invaluable, one-to-one guidance on portfolio development, help your child articulate their ideas, and even run mock interviews to build their confidence for the real thing.

Are the tutors familiar with the creative industry in Glasgow and the UK?

While our tutors are based across the UK, many are practising designers and artists who are deeply connected to the UK's creative scene. They understand the standards and expectations of leading institutions and can offer relevant, up-to-date advice to help your child's application resonate.

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

It's really important to find someone your child connects with. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals—it's a great way to find the perfect match.

How much does a Graphic Design tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices can vary based on their experience and background. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do online lessons work?

They take place in our online classroom, which is designed for creative subjects. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a file-sharing function, making it easy for your child to share their artwork and get instant feedback from their tutor.

What if my child is losing confidence in their creative abilities?

This is very common, especially when the pressure is on. A great tutor provides a supportive and encouraging space for your child to explore their ideas without fear of failure. They are experts at building confidence by celebrating small wins and helping students overcome creative blocks.

Can a tutor help my child with specific software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator?

Yes. Many of our tutors are experts in industry-standard software and can provide focused lessons to help your child master the technical skills they need. You can check a tutor's profile to see which software they specialise in.

Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching.

What happens if we don't like the first lesson?

We want you to be completely happy with your choice. Thanks to 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.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects?

Not at all! We believe in learning for life. Alongside subjects like Graphic Design, your child can learn practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, music production, or even learning a new language.

What equipment does my child need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. For Graphic Design, a graphics tablet can be helpful but isn't always essential to get started.

Can a tutor help my child with specific software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator?

There's no set number. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for a specific deadline, while others benefit from weekly lessons over a longer period. You can discuss your child's needs directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
