To date, I've taught over 3,000 lessons, from KS1 to A-Level which has enabled me to adapt my teaching style and content to different students.For example, when I tutored a student with ADHD I increased the number of activities while reducing the length to ensure they remained engaged with the lesson.Conversely, when tutoring one of my A-Level students with anxiety, I slowed the lesson pace and used fewer activities to reduce stress. In lessons, I predominately use visual learning...

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. 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 focused on academics for schools like Leicester Grammar. How can photography tutoring help, not hinder?
We completely understand. Our tutors help structure photography learning so it complements, rather than competes with, academic work. They can create a focused plan to build a portfolio efficiently, teaching skills like project management and critical thinking that are valuable across all subjects. It can be a fantastic creative outlet that refreshes them for their core studies.
Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio for a competitive university course?
Absolutely. This is one of the key areas where our tutors excel. Many have experience in the creative industries or arts education and can provide expert guidance on what top universities are looking for. They can help your child develop a theme, curate their best work, and present a portfolio that truly reflects their talent and potential.
Is online photography tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Online sessions allow for instant screen sharing to review photos and demonstrate editing techniques in real-time. Crucially, it gives your child in Leicester access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. If the first session isn't the right fit, please email our friendly support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.
Are the tutors professional photographers or qualified teachers?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are professional photographers, some are university lecturers, and others are experienced teachers with a passion for the arts. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, and every tutor is background-checked, so you can be sure your child is learning from a credible expert.
My child is studying GCSE or A-Level Photography. Can a tutor help with their coursework?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide brilliant support for exam-board-specific projects, helping your child understand the assessment criteria, develop their ideas, and refine their practical skills to help them achieve a higher grade.
What equipment does my child need for online photography lessons?
It can be as simple as a smartphone with a good camera to get started! As they progress, a DSLR or mirrorless camera is beneficial, but not essential for initial lessons. The most important things are a willingness to learn and a device with a stable internet connection for the video call.
Do you offer tutoring for creative software like Photoshop or Lightroom?
We do! Many of our Photography tutors are also skilled in editing software and can build lessons around these powerful tools. It's a great way to help your child elevate their work from good to great. You can check individual tutor profiles for this specialism.
How do I find the right Photography tutor for my child in Leicester?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the specific area your child is interested in, whether that's portrait, landscape, or portfolio building. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding the right personality and expertise.
How much do online Photography tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and background, giving you the flexibility to find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and what best suits your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly slot to build momentum, whilst others book sessions as and when they need help with a specific project. It's totally flexible.
What equipment does my child need for online photography lessons?
Whilst our tutors aren't based in Leicester, they are experts at helping students find inspiration in their local surroundings. They can set exciting projects and briefs that encourage your child to explore and capture the unique character of Leicester, from its historic lanes to its modern architecture.
