Janette is a very dedicated tutor she helped me with my essay writing and even went beyond by reviewing my essay outside of her tutoring hours. This shows her commitment and dedication to ensure her students succeed. Her teaching techniques and approach are very easy to understand. I passed my essay and Janette helped me with grammatical errors and guided me through all my mistakes. I will definitely be using Janette in the future as she is an extremely great teacher😃

Jen H
I would like to say a massive thank you to Jen, who has helped me through one of my toughest years at university. I had some obstacles thrown in my way but with the help of Jen and her dedication I was able to pass my final dissertation with flying colours. I honestly can’t thank Jen enough for taking the time to sit and work through my whole dissertation from top to bottom. She was able to plan her lessons around times that suited me, always showing up with new ideas and advice that helped me get to where I am today. Without Jen’s help I honestly believe I would still be in the same place I was over a year ago!! A thank you doesn’t even do the hard work Jen put in as justice!!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a great Sheffield school like Tapton or Silverdale. Can a tutor help them stand out for a Russell Group university application?
Absolutely. While Sheffield's schools provide a fantastic education, a private tutor can offer that extra, personalised focus. They can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and refine their essay technique to the high standard expected by competitive universities, helping their application truly shine.
Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for an application to the University of Sheffield?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas, articulate their passion for their chosen subject, and ensure their application is polished and persuasive.
How can a tutor help my child move from GCSE to A-Level essay writing?
This is a common challenge and where a tutor can be incredibly effective. They can work one-to-one with your child to move beyond description towards critical analysis, helping them to develop a strong thesis, build a nuanced argument, and use evidence effectively – all key skills for A-Level success.
How do I choose the right essay writing tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their tutor?
We know how important the student-tutor relationship is. 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 online essay writing tuition cost in Sheffield?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.
Are your tutors qualified to help with subjects like A-Level History or English Literature?
Yes. Many of our essay writing specialists are also experts in specific subjects. You can filter your search to find tutors with experience in the exact A-Level subjects your child is studying, ensuring they get the knowledgeable support they need.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson each week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be adapted to fit your child's needs, whether that's more intensive support before an exam or fortnightly sessions.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle assignments they once found daunting. Open communication with your tutor is key, and they'll be happy to discuss your child's progress with you.
Can a tutor help build my child's confidence in their writing?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a supportive, encouraging environment, your child can ask questions and practise new techniques without the fear of getting it wrong. This helps them build genuine confidence in their own abilities.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering a new language or even coding, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and personal development.
