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 is a really great teacher for Photography A Level. My daughter needed help with the essay part of her course.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child’s school in east-london has limited photography equipment. Can an online tutor still help?
Absolutely. Many tutors specialise in digital photography and post-production skills using software like Photoshop, which are crucial for a modern portfolio. They can set practical projects that use natural light and everyday environments in east-london, showing your child how to create professional-quality work without needing a studio.
How can a tutor help my child build a portfolio for a competitive London art college?
Our tutors can provide expert guidance on portfolio curation. Many have industry or university-level experience and can help your child select their strongest work, develop a cohesive theme, and present it professionally to meet the specific requirements of institutions like UAL or Goldsmiths. It’s about giving them crucial insider knowledge.
Is online tutoring really effective for a practical subject like Photography?
Yes, it works brilliantly. Tutors use screen sharing to demonstrate editing techniques in real-time and provide instant visual feedback on your child's work. They can analyse photos together, discuss camera settings, and guide projects, offering the same level of detail as an in-person session but with far more flexibility.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Photography tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for creative subjects. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much do online Photography tutors cost for a student in east-london?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and specialisms. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your budget perfectly.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
My child is preparing for their Art & Design GCSE. Can a tutor help with the photography component?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students through GCSE and A-Level coursework. They can help your child understand the assessment objectives, develop their project ideas, and refine their technical skills to help them achieve a higher grade.
How flexible is the scheduling for online lessons?
It's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. Online tutoring is designed to fit around your busy life, removing the stress of travel and rigid timetables.
What technology do we need for an online photography lesson?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making online learning simple and effective.

We do! We have a wide range of expert tutors across hundreds of subjects. Beyond Photography, you can find tutors for Film Studies, Graphic Design, Fine Art, Music Production, and much more, helping your child explore all their creative interests.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in their creative abilities?
This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space where your child can take creative risks without fear of failure. By celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step, they can rediscover their confidence and passion.
My child is preparing for their Art & Design GCSE. Can a tutor help with the photography component?
