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.
