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 prepare a portfolio specifically for the University of Northampton's design course?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. You can find a tutor who understands the entry requirements for specific courses and can help your child tailor their portfolio to meet what admissions tutors at institutions like the University of Northampton are looking for.
My child is at a great academic school in Northampton. Can a tutor add the digital skills their A-Level course might not cover?
This is a very common reason parents come to us. A private tutor can perfectly complement your child's schoolwork by focusing on specific areas, like mastering Adobe Creative Suite or developing digital illustration techniques, that might not be the main focus of their A-Level. This helps bridge the gap between their school portfolio and a university-ready one.
How do I choose the right Graphic Design tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child clicks with is the first step to building their confidence and skills.
How much does online Graphic Design tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and background, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about their creative interests, what they're working on at school, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors experienced with the UCAS application process for creative subjects?
Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students with UCAS applications, including writing personal statements and curating portfolios for creative degree courses. You can check their profile descriptions or message them to ask about their experience in this area.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their creative work?
Confidence is key! A great tutor acts as a mentor, providing constructive, positive feedback in a supportive one-to-one setting. This helps your child learn to trust their creative instincts and feel proud of the work they produce.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or explore creative passions like learning the guitar or music production.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
Are the tutors experienced with the UCAS application process for creative subjects?
Your child will be in great company! Over 200,000 students have used Tutorful to help them reach their goals. You can see what other parents think by looking at our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
