Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Brookfield Community School. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 6 in English to get into sixth form?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can identify any gaps in your child's knowledge, work on exam technique, and build their confidence to help them secure the grade they need for their A-Level choices.
We're hoping my child can study at the University of Sheffield. Can an English tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their UCAS applications and personal statements. A strong personal statement is crucial, and a tutor can help your child structure their ideas and communicate their passion for their chosen subject clearly and effectively.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit for your child. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor in Chesterfield cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to assess their expertise and teaching ability, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. You can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment allows your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to understand tricky topics, their self-belief grows, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or focus on analysing a specific text. Every lesson is tailored to what your child needs most at that time.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week works well, especially in the run-up to exams like the GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Often, the first sign of progress is your child feeling more positive and confident about their English lessons at school.
What areas of English can a tutor help with?
Our tutors can cover the full English curriculum. This includes GCSE and A-Level English Language and Literature, analysing poetry and plays like 'An Inspector Calls', creative writing, essay structure, grammar, and exam preparation. Just let the tutor know what you'd like to focus on.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we offer fantastic academic support, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them explore their interests.
