Atul A
Mr. Atul will ask you to study certain concepts yourself, but he will show you how to study properly and you will learn a lot more from him than most other tutors. It would take a lot more sessions from him and you will have to book the first lessons very early in the semester because he will not skip or speed through any single concept. But it is worth it because you will fare better in the exams.

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor specifically help my child prepare for the University of Sheffield's Computer Science course?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can focus on the specific A-Level topics, problem-solving skills, and even portfolio development that will strengthen your child's application for competitive courses like the one at Sheffield.
My child is at a comprehensive in Sheffield and we're worried they're behind. Can tutoring bridge that gap?
We completely understand this concern, and it's exactly where tutoring can make the biggest difference. A one-to-one tutor can identify and fill any knowledge gaps, building your child's skills and confidence so they can compete on a level playing field, regardless of the school they attend.
Is online tutoring effective for a practical subject like Computer Programming?
It’s fantastic for it. Our online classroom has features like a shared whiteboard and screen sharing, which are perfect for coding. The tutor can see your child's code in real-time, help debug problems, and demonstrate concepts live. It’s just as interactive and effective as being in the same room.
How do I know if a tutor is the right fit for my child?
We want you to feel confident you've found the perfect match. If for any reason the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor, no questions asked.
Do you have tutors who can prepare my child for a career in Sheffield's tech industry?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have real-world industry experience. They can give your child valuable insight into the skills needed for a career in tech, whether that's in Sheffield's growing games industry, digital media, or software development.
How are your tutors selected?
We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is identity and background checked, and we interview them to ensure they have the expertise and passion to help your child thrive.
My child is an absolute beginner. Can they still get a Computer Programming tutor?
Of course! We have brilliant tutors who specialise in making programming accessible and fun for complete beginners. They can start with the very basics of computational thinking and build from there at a pace that's perfect for your child.
Beyond Computer Programming, what other subjects do you offer?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic subjects like Maths, English and the Sciences, to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like musical instruments or public speaking. Whatever your child wants to learn, we're here to help.
How much does online tutoring cost for students in Sheffield?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget.
What equipment do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
How can I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them directly through the platform at any time. The real proof, though, is seeing your child's confidence grow as they start to master concepts they once found difficult.
My child is an absolute beginner. Can they still get a Computer Programming tutor?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit your family's schedule, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays.
