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 live in Thornbury and are aiming for a Gloucestershire grammar school. Can you help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific requirements for Gloucestershire entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning to give them the best possible chance of success.
My child attends The Castle School and wants to apply to the University of Bristol. Can tutors help with specific A-Level goals?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are brilliant at helping students secure the top grades needed for competitive courses at Russell Group universities like Bristol. They can provide targeted support with exam technique, subject knowledge, and building the independent study skills needed to thrive at university.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, then watch their short introduction videos and read reviews from other parents. We always recommend sending a message to a few tutors first to chat about your child's goals before booking.
How much do tutors in Thornbury cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and subject level. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing work, and a messaging function. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform must pass a background check before they can teach. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to teach with us.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief can make a huge difference to their results.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English?
While Maths and English are very popular, we offer support in over 300 subjects! So whether your child needs help with A-Level Chemistry, wants to learn to code in Python, or even take up the guitar, we have a specialist tutor who can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. You can arrange this directly with your tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors are great at keeping you in the loop. You can message them at any time, and they will often provide feedback on what was covered in the lesson and how your child is getting on. Seeing your child's confidence and test scores improve is the best indicator!
