Mustafa A
So far, I have had four lessons with Mustafa, and I have found him to be really supportive and thorough. In my first lesson, he took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses in GCSE Chemistry so that he could prepare future lessons to the topics I was least confident in.
Throughout our lessons, we have worked through each topic carefully, making sure I fully understand the content before moving on. I also asked if we could go through my Chemistry mock exam questions in an upcoming lesson, and he was very happy to do so, which made me feel really supported. He always finishes lessons with exam questions, which has helped build my confidence and exam technique. Mustafa has also discussed revision techniques with me, which I’ve found very helpful when studying independently.
If there is any content I don’t understand, he quizzes me and explains it clearly until I feel confident. As someone who isn’t always confident in my answers, I now feel much more comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Mustafa. Thank you.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test for a County Down grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and Transfer Test preparation. They can help your child get familiar with the exam format, practise with past papers, and work on specific areas they find tricky, all while building their confidence for the big day.
We're hoping my child will eventually go to Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor help with A-Level preparation?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are subject experts who can provide the focused support your child needs to aim for the highest grades. They can help deepen their subject knowledge, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence required for competitive university courses.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent). We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core school subjects, we also have experts who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, from playing the guitar and learning Spanish to coding in Python.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief step-by-step.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
Can I find a tutor for a specific subject, like A-Level Chemistry?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the exact subject and level your child needs, whether it's for primary school English, GCSE Biology, A-Level Chemistry, or even degree-level support.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus on personalised, one-to-one support is designed to make a real difference. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
