Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Tapton or Silverdale. Can a tutor focus specifically on hitting a grade 7 or higher in GCSE English Language?

Absolutely. This is a common goal for many Sheffield families we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between a good grade and a top one. They can identify specific areas for improvement, from exam technique to analytical skills, to help your child meet the entry requirements for their desired A-Level courses.

With the University of Sheffield nearby, we're very aware of academic standards. Do your online tutors understand what's needed for that next step?

Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities, including those in the Russell Group. They understand the level of critical thinking and written communication required for higher education. They can help your child develop these skills early, giving them a strong foundation not just for A-Levels, but for future university success.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online lessons use interactive tools like digital whiteboards, and sessions can be recorded for revision. Crucially, it gives your child in Sheffield access to the best subject specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local. Plus, the convenience of learning from home can't be beaten!

What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is so important, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't the 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. It's our 'First Lesson Guarantee'.

How do you ensure your English Language tutors are high quality?

We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven subject expertise. We focus on finding tutors who are not only knowledgeable but also brilliant, inspiring communicators.

My child loves creative writing but struggles with the analytical side of English. Do you offer tutoring for more than just exam prep?

Definitely! Whilst we're experts in exam preparation, our tutors can also nurture a passion for subjects. We have tutors who specialise in creative writing, public speaking, and even learning musical instruments or coding. Tutoring is about building confidence and skills in any area your child is interested in.

How much do online English Language lessons typically cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price when you search on our website to find a highly-rated tutor who fits your family's budget perfectly.

My child's confidence in English is very low. How does a tutor help with that?

This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child isn't afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they rebuild confidence step by step, which often has a huge impact on their results.

Can we get help with specific parts of the English Language GCSE, like the creative writing component?

Yes, absolutely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored. Your child and their tutor can spend entire sessions focusing specifically on mastering persuasive writing, narrative structure, or analysing unseen texts—whatever they need most.

We have a really busy schedule with after-school clubs. How flexible is online tutoring?

Extremely flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's routine. This is one of the biggest benefits for busy families in Sheffield.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the optimal time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
