One-to-one online tuition for Sheffield families, with tutors who understand the household. GCSE, KS3, primary and SATs — the same tutor at the same hour every week.
Sheffield has no state grammar schools. Its secondary schools are comprehensive, and selective entry in the city means independent schools such as Birkdale School and Sheffield Girls', which set their own entrance assessments. For most Sheffield families the questions are simpler and more important: is my child secure at primary, and are they on track for the GCSE grades they need for sixth form or college?
That is exactly where weekly tuition pays off. An hour a week through KS3 builds the habits that make GCSE Maths and English grades reachable, without a frantic Year 11.
Many of the Sheffield families we teach speak Urdu or Punjabi at home. Their children often speak English fluently but write below what they understand. That is a written-register gap, not a language problem, and it closes quickly once someone teaches exam writing explicitly.
One-to-one online tutors for Sheffield families in every core subject, from Reception to Year 11. We teach children across Sheffield, including Darnall, Burngreave, Sharrow, Page Hall, Firth Park and Ecclesall: lessons are online, so it makes no difference which part of the city you live in.
Number, algebra, geometry and statistics from primary to GCSE Foundation and Higher, on your child's exam board.
Reading, comprehension and the written-register gap at primary, then GCSE English Language and Literature.
KS3 science and GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Combined or Triple, with required practicals explained.
One subject or several, with past papers and mark schemes on AQA, Edexcel or OCR.
KS1 and KS2 maths and English, times tables, reading fluency and steady KS2 SATs practice.
Entrance preparation matched to the test your target school uses, starting in Year 5.
Where an hour a week does the most good, by stage.
| Stage | What matters most | What we focus on |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (KS1–KS2) | Reading fluency, times-table recall and writing confidence | Diagnosing whether a reading problem is decoding, fluency, vocabulary or comprehension — each needs a different fix |
| Year 6 SATs | Reading, SPaG and maths papers at the end of Year 6 | Steady work across the year rather than a panicked spring term, plus timed arithmetic practice |
| KS3 (Years 7–9) | The gaps that quietly open when nobody is examining anything | Algebra above all, plus written structure in English — the two strongest predictors of later GCSE grades |
| GCSE (Years 10–11) | Maths, English and Science grades, and the tier your child is entered for | Full specification coverage on the correct board, past papers, and exam technique from the start |
| Written English | Fluent speech, underpowered writing — very common in bilingual households | Paragraph structure, embedded quotations and analytical sentences taught explicitly |
Lessons in English, because that is what the exam is in — with Urdu available for the thirty seconds it takes to unlock a stuck idea.
Fluent speech, underpowered writing — the most common pattern we see, and one of the most fixable.
Three one-hour sessions every week, which works out at under £5 an hour.
A written report every week and every lesson recorded, with updates in English or Urdu as you prefer.
Session times shift during Ramadan and pause around Eid, with no charge for the weeks you miss.
An hour a week in Year 8 is worth more to a GCSE grade than three hours a week in Year 11, and costs far less stress.
| Plan | Sessions | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3 × 1-hour sessions per week | £60 / month | Steady support in one subject alongside school |
| Intensive | 5 × 1-hour sessions per week | £100 / month | Exam years, catch-up, or two subjects at once |
