Browse all A-Level Art tutorsA-Level Art and Design is assessed almost entirely through coursework — a portfolio component (60%) and a timed exam unit (40%). Success requires sustained creative development, strong annotation of research and influence, and the ability to demonstrate artistic intent throughout a coherent body of work. A specialist A-Level Art tutor guides portfolio curation, investigation writing and the preparatory work that leads into the exam. Brentwood is one of Essex's most academic towns — competitive selective schools and a high-achieving family culture create strong demand for private tutors at all levels.

Browse all A-Level Art tutorsA-Level Art is required or strongly preferred for Fine Art, Illustration, Graphic Design and related degree programmes at specialist art colleges (UAL, RCA) and university art schools. A grade B or above is typically expected for competitive art school entry.
Students who write annotations that describe what they did ('I painted this using acrylic') rather than reflecting critically on why, what influenced it, and how it developed lose significant marks on the AO2/AO3 criteria. A tutor teaches the reflective annotation style that examiners reward.
The personal investigation must reference named artists, movements and contexts. Students who develop their own work in isolation from art history consistently score lower than those who make explicit connections to relevant practitioners.
The timed exam unit follows several weeks of preparation starting from a set brief. Students who spend preparation time on genuinely developed studies rather than rushed outcomes produce far stronger exam work.
Yes — art tutors can provide critical feedback on portfolio development, annotation quality, contextual research, and coherence of concept across the body of work. They offer an independent perspective that complements classroom teaching.
A-Level Art tutors typically charge £28–£55 per hour. Art tutors with degree-level studio qualifications or experience in professional practice often charge at the higher end.
The portfolio should be developed continuously from September of Year 12. Students who treat it as a Year 13 task consistently underperform. A tutor can provide regular portfolio review sessions throughout Year 12 to ensure the work is building coherently.
