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.

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
Can a tutor help my child with their portfolio for Manchester Metropolitan University?
Absolutely. Many of our Graphic Design tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for university applications. They can provide expert feedback on your child's existing work and guide them on new projects to create a distinctive and sophisticated portfolio that meets the high standards of prestigious courses.
My child goes to a college like Loreto or Xaverian. Can a tutor complement their A-Level studies?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at working alongside your child's school or college curriculum. They can help reinforce what's being taught in their A-Level classes, offer a different perspective, and provide focused support on specific projects or software that will help them secure the best possible grade.
How do I choose the right Graphic Design tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed profiles, see their experience, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals – like portfolio development or mastering a specific skill – to see who feels like the best fit.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and screen sharing. This is especially useful for Graphic Design, as your child and their tutor can share their work in real-time and make edits together on software like Photoshop or Illustrator.
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. There are no hidden fees, and you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their creative work?
Sometimes, all a young artist needs is a bit of encouragement from a mentor who understands their passion. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to share their ideas without fear of judgment. This one-to-one encouragement can make a huge difference to their self-belief and creative confidence.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a regular weekly session to build momentum, while others book lessons as and when they need help with a specific college project or portfolio piece. It's completely flexible to fit around your family's life.
What software will my child need for online Graphic Design lessons?
This can depend on what your child wants to focus on. Most tutors work with industry-standard software like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). It's a great idea to mention the software your child uses when you message a tutor to make sure they're a good match.
Can tutoring help if my child is just starting out and has no experience?
Of course! Our tutors love working with beginners. They can start with the absolute basics of design theory, colour, and typography, and guide your child step-by-step. It's a wonderful way to nurture a new passion.
How much does online Graphic Design tutoring cost?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. While we cover all core academic areas from 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and practical skills like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or music production.
