Engaging, exam & coursework Photography Photography & D&T
Hi my name is Elma. I have over 16years of teaching experience in a well established high school with a sixth form ages 11-18. My subject ranges are very versatile and have taught from GCSE to BTEC L2 and L3, and have achieved great results. My teaching style is adaptive to suit the individual needs as one style does not fit all. I am very resourceful and will cater to differentiate the provisions such as worksheet tailored to tutees.

Jamie D
I started working with Jamie 4 months ago when I was struggling with A-Level photography. He is incredibly supportive and clear in aspects that I could improve on to meet exam criteria and his dedication towards helping me to improve is extremely evident. I have weekly sessions with Jamie and he has always been very flexible. These weekly sessions have always been tailored to my needs and what I feel will benefit me the most. His feedback is always specific and his guidance has allowed me to secure a top grade in my January mocks. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone needing support or wanting to push their coursework further.

Clara C
Clara is a really great teacher for Photography A Level. My daughter needed help with the essay part of her course. I knew she would be good when I read about her experience but she has a lovely manner and way of teaching as well. Clara was also equally as good when she needed help with her Art A-Level essay.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a very academic Derby school. How can photography tutoring help them stand out for university applications?
That's a common concern we hear from parents in Derby. A strong photography portfolio is a fantastic way to demonstrate creativity, critical thinking, and dedication—qualities that are highly valued by all universities, not just arts-based ones. Our tutors can help your child develop a cohesive and impressive body of work that showcases their unique perspective and makes their application memorable.
Is online photography tutoring practical? How does a tutor review my child's work?
Absolutely. Our online classroom has screen-sharing features that make it easy for your child and their tutor to review photos together in real-time. They can discuss composition, lighting, and editing just as they would in person. This method is incredibly effective for providing detailed, constructive feedback.
Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio that reflects their life in Derby?
Yes, many of our tutors encourage students to find inspiration in their local environment. They can help your child develop projects that explore Derby's unique character, from its industrial heritage to its proximity to the beautiful Peak District, helping them create a portfolio that is both personal and authentic.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first photography tutor?
Finding the right mentor is essential, and we want you to feel confident. If the first lesson with a tutor isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find the right match.
My child loves taking photos but lacks confidence in their technical skills. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. Our tutors create a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions freely and master the technical side of photography—from understanding their camera to learning editing software—at their own pace, which builds their confidence enormously.
Beyond photography, do you offer tutoring in other creative subjects?
We do! We have expert tutors across a wide range of subjects, including other creative fields like Art, Graphic Design, Music, and Creative Writing. We believe in supporting every child's passion, whether it's academic or creative.
How do you match my child with the right photography tutor?
You can browse our tutors' detailed profiles, which include their experience, specialisms (e.g., portrait, landscape, digital), teaching style, and introductory videos. This allows you to find someone whose skills and personality are the perfect fit for your child's goals.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, the safety of our students is our top priority. Every tutor on Tutorful has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and highly-qualified professional.
How much do online photography tutors charge for students in Derby?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What equipment does my child need for online photography lessons?
All they need is a device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop or tablet), a stable internet connection, and their camera. A simple smartphone camera is often enough to get started! The tutor will adapt the lessons to whatever equipment your child has.
Do tutors help with specific qualifications like A-Level Photography?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students through formal qualifications like GCSE and A-Level Photography. They can provide expert guidance on coursework, portfolio development, and exam preparation to help your child achieve their best possible grade.
How do you match my child with the right photography tutor?
Extremely flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions that fit around school, clubs, and family life. The convenience of learning from home in Derby means no travel time, making it much easier to schedule regular lessons.
