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 aiming for the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with their Higher results?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and specialise in helping students achieve the grades needed for competitive university courses. They can focus on strengthening weak areas, refining exam technique, and building the confidence your child needs to perform their best in their Higher exams.
With the high standards at schools in East Lothian, how can a tutor help my child keep up?
A personal tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. By working at your child's pace, a tutor can fill any knowledge gaps, reinforce what’s taught in school, and ensure they have a solid understanding of the subject, helping them stay on track and feel less overwhelmed.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they’re the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do online tutors in East Lothian cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a background check and we verify their ID. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, tutors can break down topics your child finds tricky and celebrate their small wins. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can you help with music or coding too?
While we have thousands of expert tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in hundreds of other areas! You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and speaking Spanish to coding in Python, helping your child explore their passions as well as their school subjects.
How do online lessons 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, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques for SQA Highers?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide invaluable support with exam technique, from time management skills and understanding command words to structuring answers effectively for National 5 and Higher exams. This targeted practice can make a huge difference to your child's final grade.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their understanding over time. You can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child, understand their learning style, and identify their strengths and weaknesses. It's a great opportunity for your child to see how the tutor works and for you to decide if they are the right fit before continuing.
