The Right Support Makes All the Difference

It starts with a tutor who just *gets* it. Someone who sees your child's intelligence and creativity, and understands that they simply learn differently. We have over 200,000 happy students because our tutors know how to build that essential trust. They create a safe space where your child can ask any question without fear, turning moments of frustration into breakthroughs of understanding. That feeling of being truly seen is the first step towards renewed confidence. Each session is designed around your child's specific needs. A great tutor might use multi-sensory techniques to make spelling rules stick, introduce assistive technology that makes research less daunting, or work on organisational skills for upcoming coursework. It’s not just about getting through homework; it’s about building a repeatable process for learning that they can carry into their GCSEs, A-Levels, and beyond. Over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade because of this tailored approach. Finding this specialist support is now easier than ever for your family in Sheffield. Online tutoring means no more stressful journeys after school. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that fits around your life. It also means you're not limited to local availability; you can connect with one of the UK's best Dyslexia specialists, handpicked by us – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. It's expert, flexible support designed for modern family life.

My son achieved a grade 5 in his English Language GCSE exam today. This was his 3rd resit. He was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and he would not have done this without Sobia's tutoring. Thank you so much Sobia!

Jasmine U
Having learning difficulties, I thought I would feel uncomfortable in the first lesson; however, Jasmine is lovely. Jasmine gave me detailed feedback on my A Level Business assignment in regards to layout and improvements in my academic writing. She also gave me examples I could include in my assignment to achieve the highest grade possible on the assignment. Jasmine kindly wrote me a list of things that she discussed in the lesson so that I wouldn't forget, which was helpful. Additionally, Jasmine asked me if I had any questions I had near the end, so I was reassured or if I had any doubts. She is very friendly, and I was able to communicate with her without feeling shy. I would highly recommend Jasmine as a tutor.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a competitive Sheffield school like High Storrs or Tapton and feels they're falling behind due to their dyslexia. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a common concern we hear from parents. A specialist tutor can provide one-to-one support that complements their schoolwork, focusing on the specific areas they find challenging. By building their core skills and confidence, we can help your child keep pace and feel more capable in a demanding academic environment.

How does online tutoring work for a child with dyslexia? Isn't face-to-face better?

Online tutoring is incredibly effective for students with dyslexia. Our interactive whiteboard allows tutors to use colours, shapes, and diagrams to explain concepts visually. Screen-sharing is perfect for working on essays together, and digital tools can be introduced in a way that's directly applicable to their schoolwork. Plus, learning from a comfortable, familiar space can reduce anxiety and help your child focus.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

We live in Sheffield. Does this mean we get a tutor from Sheffield?

Not necessarily. The beauty of our online platform is that your child in Sheffield can connect with the best UK-based tutors, regardless of location. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, ensuring you find the perfect expert for your child's specific needs, not just someone who happens to live nearby.

How do you vet your Dyslexia tutors?

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and must provide professional or academic references. We interview them to assess their experience and teaching style, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

My child's dyslexia affects their confidence in maths, not just English. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our specialist tutors have experience supporting students with dyscalculia or who find maths challenging due to dyslexia. They can use specific strategies to help with number sense, sequencing, and problem-solving, rebuilding confidence across all subjects.

How much do online Dyslexia tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £25 per hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant specialist tutor who fits your budget.

We are aiming for A-Levels and hopefully the University of Sheffield. Can a tutor provide long-term support?

Definitely. Many of our tutors build long-term relationships with their students, guiding them from GCSEs through to A-Levels and even university applications. They can help your child develop the higher-level study skills and strategies needed to succeed in further education.

What equipment does my child need for online lessons?

It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom runs directly in your browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

Can my child get help with learning a musical instrument or a new language?

Yes, absolutely! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from academic support in maths and science to hobbies like learning the guitar, piano, coding, or even a new language. It's a great way to build confidence and discover new passions.

How flexible is scheduling with a tutor?

It's completely flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange session times that work for your family. Whether it's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays, you can find a schedule that fits around your commitments.

How much do online Dyslexia tutors cost?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to apply new strategies in their schoolwork. Many parents tell us the first sign is their child no longer dreading homework or feeling anxious about going to school.
