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.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Paignton and are aiming for Churston Ferrers Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for grammar school entrance exams. They can build a tailored plan focusing on key areas like verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English, and Maths to help your child feel confident and prepared.
My child is worried about getting the GCSE grades needed for a good A-Level programme. Can a tutor help them feel more prepared?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek support. A tutor can work with your child to close any knowledge gaps, build their confidence in weaker subjects, and develop effective revision techniques. This targeted support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How do I find the right tutor for my child in Paignton?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right subject and level for your child. You can read their profiles, watch intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. Plus, you can message them for free to make sure they're a great fit before booking.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, subject, and level, but typically start from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like face-to-face tutoring, but more convenient! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a live 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way, which helps build self-belief that carries back into the school classroom.
Is there a guarantee if we don't like the first lesson?
Yes, we want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While academic subjects are very popular, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore a new hobby or develop a professional skill. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
What results can I expect for my child?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them make real, measurable progress. We're proud that over 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one academic grade, and many parents tell us the biggest change they see is in their child's confidence.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and we generally find that a weekly lesson provides the consistency needed for steady progress. However, this is completely flexible and something you can discuss and agree upon with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What if our schedule changes and we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can easily manage, reschedule or cancel lessons through your Tutorful account. Our cancellation policy just requires you to give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice before the lesson is due to start.
