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
Can I find a tutor specifically experienced with the Kent Test for Folkestone grammar schools?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the format and demands of the Kent Test. You can view their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child's goals.
My child is aiming for The Folkestone School for Girls. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. While we can't guarantee entry, a specialist tutor can be a fantastic source of support. They can help your child master the specific skills tested, build exam technique, and grow in confidence, giving them the best possible chance of performing well in the entrance exam.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
Start by using the filters to find tutors who specialise in the 11+ or your child's specific subject. Watch their intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to find a trusted expert. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect match.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on the platform has passed an identity check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to 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 Folkestone cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits we see. A great tutor provides a safe and patient space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together in one-to-one sessions can do wonders for their self-esteem.
How do I know my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay informed. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. Seeing your child feel more positive and capable in their schoolwork is often the first and most important sign of success.
How long should a tutoring session be for a primary school child?
For younger children, especially those preparing for the 11+, a 60-minute session is usually ideal. It provides enough time to cover a topic in depth without losing their focus. You can discuss the perfect session length with your chosen tutor.
Is Tutorful just for the 11+ and schoolwork?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students through exams like the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How quickly can my child start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message directly from their profile to arrange your first session. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have been able to book their first lesson within 24 hours.
