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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to UAL. Can a tutor help with that specific application?
Absolutely. Many of our Graphic Design tutors have experience helping students prepare portfolios for top UK arts universities, including University of the Arts London. They can provide invaluable guidance on what admissions teams are looking for and help your child tailor their work to meet those high standards.
We live in Hackney. How can an online tutor understand the local creative pressure?
Many of our tutors are based in London or have direct experience with its competitive creative scene. They understand the high expectations for students applying from areas like Hackney and can provide the industry insight and mentorship needed to help your child create a portfolio that truly stands out from the crowd.
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 you book. This helps you find someone with the right skills and a personality your child will connect with. It's why we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
How much does an online Graphic Design tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £55 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility and control over what you spend.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have a 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.
How do you check your tutors?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring work for a practical subject like Graphic Design?
Our online classroom is designed for creative subjects. It includes an interactive whiteboard where your child and their tutor can share screens, collaborate on designs in real-time, and review portfolio work together. It's a dynamic and effective way to learn practical skills.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence in their creative ideas?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to explore their ideas without fear of criticism. This supportive mentorship is key to helping them develop their unique creative voice and the confidence to pursue their ambitions.
What equipment does my child need for online lessons?
All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection, and any design software they are learning (like the Adobe Creative Suite). Our platform works directly in your web browser, so there's no need to download anything extra.
Are the lessons always one-to-one?
Yes, every lesson on Tutorful is one-to-one. This ensures that your child gets the tutor's full attention and the session is completely tailored to their individual learning needs and creative goals.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's portfolio?
This varies for each student, but because lessons are so focused, many parents see a boost in their child's skills and confidence after just a few sessions. The tutor will work with your child to set clear goals, so you can track their progress together.
How does online tutoring work for a practical subject like Graphic Design?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn Graphic Design, improve their photography, master a musical instrument, or even learn coding, we have expert tutors who can help them pursue their passion.
