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
We're aiming for a grammar school in Salisbury, like Bishop Wordsworth's. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the specific requirements for the Wiltshire grammar school exams. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like verbal and non-verbal reasoning, Maths, and English to give them the best possible chance of success.
What if my child doesn't get a grammar school place? Can a tutor still help them get top A-Level grades?
Yes, completely. A great tutor provides consistent, one-to-one support that helps a child thrive in any school environment. By reinforcing core knowledge and study skills, a tutor can ensure your child stays challenged and on track to achieve the top A-Level grades needed for competitive universities like Bristol or Exeter.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Gillingham Dorset?
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 discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It’s a convenient way to get expert help from anywhere.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and subject. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they are capable, which builds lasting self-belief.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
Tutorful is for all kinds of learning! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a new language, or playing a musical instrument like the guitar.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback and updates. Many tutors provide regular summaries of what was covered in a lesson and how your child is getting on, ensuring you're always kept in the loop.
What subjects can we find tutors for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic support for Maths, English and Science at all levels from Primary to degree, to exam preparation for the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, you're sure to find the expert support your child needs.
