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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio specifically for Winchester School of Art or Solent University?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in university applications and understand what admissions tutors are looking for. They can help your child tailor their portfolio to the specific styles and requirements of institutions like Winchester or Solent, ensuring their work makes the best possible impression.
My child is worried their work isn't original enough to stand out. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common concern and a tutor can be a huge help. They can act as a creative mentor, brainstorming ideas with your child, introducing them to new artists and techniques, and helping them develop a unique personal style that shines through in their portfolio.
How do I choose the right Graphic Design tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and watch introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best experience, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does a Graphic Design tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a tool for sharing documents and portfolio pieces. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join our platform. 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a supportive, pressure-free space, they can ask questions freely and get positive, constructive feedback on their work. Seeing their skills and ideas develop is a huge confidence booster.
What happens in a typical online Graphic Design lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve reviewing a current A-Level project, getting feedback on portfolio pieces, learning a new technique in Adobe Photoshop, or brainstorming ideas for a new piece of work. The focus is always on what will help your child progress.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but because one-to-one tutoring is so focused, many parents see a change in their child's confidence and skills after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons help build momentum towards their long-term goals.
What qualifications do your Graphic Design tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many have degrees in Graphic Design or related fields, while others are professional designers with years of industry experience. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile.
