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 attends Whitburn Academy. Can a tutor help with the specific SQA curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are highly experienced with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum. They can tailor lessons to support exactly what your child is learning for their National 5s and Highers at Whitburn Academy, helping to reinforce classroom learning and prepare for exams.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students achieve the high grades needed for entry into competitive university courses. They can provide targeted subject support and often help with study skills and personal statement advice to make your child's application as strong as possible.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on subject, level, and price. You can also read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to find the perfect person to support your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £15-£20 per hour, with no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed an enhanced background check. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents and past papers. It’s a brilliant tool for making learning engaging and collaborative.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a little one-to-one attention. In a supportive, pressure-free space, they can ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics, their confidence naturally grows, which has a positive impact on all their studies.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have experts in all core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach practical skills like coding and Python, languages, or musical instruments like the guitar.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor to decide based on your child's needs.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life gets busy, we understand. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy, to avoid being charged.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session. Many parents find a great match for their child and have their first lesson within a day or two.
