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

Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio specifically for Kingston School of Art or UAL?
Absolutely. Many of our Graphic Design tutors are experienced in helping students prepare portfolios for top UK art universities. They can provide guidance on what admissions tutors are looking for and help your child curate a body of work that showcases their unique strengths and skills.
My child is at a very academic school in Kingston. Can a tutor help them balance creative work with their other studies?
Yes, this is a common challenge a tutor can help with. A tutor can help your child manage their time effectively, providing focused, productive creative sessions that fit around their demanding academic timetable. This ensures their creative development doesn't get left behind.
How do I choose the right Graphic Design tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos, reading their bios, and checking reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free to ask about their experience with portfolio preparation or specific software before you book, ensuring you find the perfect match.
What happens in a typical online Graphic Design lesson?
Lessons are interactive and tailored to your child. They might spend time reviewing a project, learning a new technique on software like Adobe Illustrator using screen sharing, or brainstorming ideas for their portfolio. The online whiteboard allows them to sketch and share ideas in real-time with their tutor.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident about their creative abilities?
One-to-one attention from an expert can be a huge confidence booster. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to experiment, ask questions without feeling judged, and receive positive, constructive feedback. Celebrating small wins and seeing their skills improve quickly helps build their self-belief.
How much do online Graphic Design tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £55 per hour, depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and screen sharing. This makes it easy for your child to share their work directly from their computer and for the tutor to demonstrate techniques in real-time.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutors for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to support their passions.
Can a tutor help with a specific A-Level or BTEC Graphic Design project?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at providing focused support for coursework and specific projects. They can help your child understand the brief, plan their work, and master the skills needed to get the best possible grade.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long session a week, but you can arrange more or less frequent lessons to fit your schedule. It’s completely flexible.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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.
