Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive Sheffield sixth form like Tapton or Silverdale. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child meet the specific entry requirements for these popular sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening essay writing, textual analysis, and exam technique to help them secure the crucial Grade 5 or 6 they need in GCSE English.

Can a tutor help prepare my child for studying English at a university like the University of Sheffield?

Definitely. Many of our tutors have experience in higher education and can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking, research, and independent study skills needed to succeed at degree level. They can bridge the gap between A-Level and university-style learning.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

Take a look at tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said in their reviews. You can send a message to a few tutors to ask about their approach before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 South Yorkshire cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no contracts or hidden fees; you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple, interactive, and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of your home.

Can a tutor help my child build confidence as well as knowledge?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. This personalised attention is fantastic for building self-esteem.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and background checked before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How quickly can we expect to see results?

Every child learns differently, but our experience shows that consistent, tailored support makes a real impact. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the strong partnership between your child and their tutor.

What's the difference between English Language and English Literature tutoring?

English Language focuses on analysing how writers use language to create effects in both fiction and non-fiction texts, as well as creative and persuasive writing. English Literature is about studying set texts like novels, plays, and poetry, exploring themes, characters, and context.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or picking up a new language.

How do I book and pay for lessons?

It's simple. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule your first lesson directly from their profile. All payments are handled securely through the platform after each lesson is completed, so you don't have to worry about cash or bank transfers.
