Developing Your Child's Creative Voice in Photography

Photography at GCSE, A-Level or BTEC level is about much more than camera settings and sharp images. Students are expected to explore ideas, respond to themes, and build a meaningful narrative through their work. This can be challenging, particularly when deadlines are tight or feedback feels unclear.
Photography develops skills that reach far beyond the classroom. Students learn how to observe carefully, communicate visually, and think critically about the world around them. These skills are highly valued by universities and creative industries alike.
For students applying to art schools or creative courses, a strong portfolio is essential. A tutor can help your child refine their work, select images thoughtfully, and present a cohesive body of work that reflects their individual perspective. This deeper engagement often helps students feel more confident discussing their ideas in written statements and interviews, which can be just as important as the work itself.

I have my (2.1) BA in English Literature from The University of Sheffield and have been an online tutor for two years. 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.

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.
