What does a GCSE tutor in Sheffield cost?

Most private GCSE tutors in Sheffield charge around £30–£55 an hour. Rates vary by subject, the tutor’s qualifications and whether lessons are in person or online. What you pay depends on four things:

Who the tutor is
University students and recent graduates are the most affordable; experienced specialists sit mid-range; fully qualified teachers charge the most.
The subject
Higher-tier maths and the triple sciences often cost a little more than humanities.
In person or online
Online lessons are usually a few pounds an hour cheaper — there’s no travel.
Where you are
Tutoring in and around Sheffield can run a little above or below the national average.

How we check every tutor in Sheffield

Worried about who you're letting near your child? So are we. Here's exactly how every tutor is checked before they ever meet your family.

Enhanced DBS — before they meet your child

Every tutor we approve holds a current Enhanced DBS certificate — the same level schools require — checked against the Children's Barred List. No certificate, no listing, no exceptions.

Identity verified

We confirm every tutor is who they say they are with photo ID before they appear anywhere on gcsetutors.com.

We tell you what a DBS check can't do

A DBS check shows a criminal-record history — it's essential, but it isn't everything. We always suggest a no-obligation first session, and for in-person lessons, keeping early sessions in an open room with someone else at home.

Every tutor and DBS certificate is reviewed by a real person on our team before approval — not an automated system. Questions about our checks? Email hello@gcsetutors.com.

Tell us what your child needs in Sheffield

No obligation, no cost to enquire. Fill this in and we'll personally find and introduce an Enhanced-DBS-checked GCSE tutor in Sheffield — and reply within one working day. If we can't yet, we'll tell you straight rather than leave you waiting.

We're new, and we're building Sheffield's founding tutor group carefully — a small number of checked GCSE tutors, verified one at a time.

We reply within one working day. Every tutor we approve is Enhanced-DBS checked. We never share your details with anyone but your matched tutor.
