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.

Pete B
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 G
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
My child hopes to apply to UCA in Farnham. Can a tutor help them prepare a strong portfolio for their application?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a Graphic Design tutor. Our tutors, many of whom are industry professionals, can provide expert feedback on your child's existing work and guide them in creating new pieces that showcase their skills, creativity, and potential to admissions teams at competitive universities like UCA.
With good local colleges like Queen Mary's and BCoT, why would my child need an external tutor?
While the courses in Basingstoke are excellent, one-to-one tutoring offers a different kind of support. It's entirely personalised, allowing your child to focus on the specific areas they need to improve, whether that's mastering a piece of software or developing a particular project for their portfolio. It complements their college work by providing focused, individual attention.
How do I choose the right Graphic Design tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience aligns with your child's goals, whether that's portfolio building, software skills, or general creative development.
How much does online Graphic Design tutoring cost?
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 fits. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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 my child develop their own creative style?
A great tutor acts as a mentor, encouraging your child to explore different ideas and techniques. By providing constructive feedback and introducing them to new artists and designers, they can help your child gain the confidence to experiment and develop a unique creative voice that will make their portfolio distinctive.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed by our team and have passed a background check. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you're in safe hands.
What happens in a typical online session?
Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making it easy to collaborate. A tutor might review a piece of your child's work, demonstrate a technique in Adobe Photoshop, or brainstorm ideas for a new project. Every session is recorded so your child can re-watch it anytime.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with practical software skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, including practical and creative skills. You can definitely find a tutor to help your child master professional software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, which are essential for a career in graphic design.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly session to stay on track, while others book lessons as and when they need help with a specific college project or application deadline. It's totally flexible.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is through open communication with the tutor. You can message them at any time through the platform. Many tutors provide session feedback, and you'll also see progress directly in the quality of the work your child produces for their portfolio.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert can be a huge confidence booster. When a student sees their ideas and skills improving with personalised guidance, it validates their passion and makes them feel more capable and prepared for the next step, like a university interview.
