A Level Further Maths tuition in Islington

Muhammad Ali, a Cambridge PhD physicist, has taught Maths in Islington and the surrounding boroughs, and online, since 2010. A Level Further Maths is taught from your child's own specification and exam board, one-to-one or two-to-one, alongside A Level Maths, with a free first consultation to find out where to start.

Need an A Level Further Maths tutor in Islington or online?

A Level Further Maths is the natural companion to A Level Maths for students heading towards maths, engineering, physics or computer science — it goes further and faster into the pure ideas that A Level Maths only introduces. Muhammad works from your child’s own specification and exam board, so every lesson maps directly onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.

Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics are secure, where marks are being lost to method rather than understanding, and what the target grade needs to look like. From there, sessions run one to one or two to one, in person or online, alongside whatever your child is doing in A Level Maths.

What’s covered

  • Complex numbers and proof by induction
  • Matrices and transformations
  • Further calculus, series and differential equations
  • Polar coordinates and hyperbolic functions
  • Vectors, lines and planes in three dimensions
  • Further statistics and further mechanics, depending on the options your school or board uses
  • Exam technique across the full Further Maths paper structure

Content applies across all exam boards — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CIE all draw on the same underlying maths, so the difference between boards is mostly in the choice of optional content and in question style, not in the core pure material. Further Maths is taught alongside A Level Maths rather than separately, since the two share so much technique.

Students typically take Further Maths because they enjoy the subject and want the depth it gives, and work towards the fluency that makes unfamiliar problems feel like variations on something already seen: recognising which method a question wants, showing working that picks up method marks, and moving between pure and applied content without losing time re-orienting.

4 years of tuition — A* Maths & Physics, now reading Engineering at Warwick

My son had maths tuition with Muhammad for 4 years, 2 years leading up to GCSE and then 2 years whilst doing ‘AL’s. He got excellent GCSE results and for ‘AL’s got A* in maths and physics, A in chemistry and B in further maths. He is now happily settled at Warwick University reading Engineering.

He matured and developed tremendously during these years and his 1 hour weekly session provided an opportunity to discuss any topics he was finding difficult. As an anxious parent of a typically uncommunicative teenage son I felt very reassured by Muhammad’s support. I would recommend Muhammad unreservedly.

Common questions

A Level Further Maths tuition — frequently asked questions

Which exam board does Muhammad teach?

All of them — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CIE. The specification differs very little between boards, so lessons work from your child’s actual papers and mark schemes rather than a single fixed syllabus.

How many sessions before the exam should we start with?

There’s no fixed number — it depends on where your child is starting from and their target grade. Most families begin with a free consultation, then commit half-termly so lessons can build steadily rather than cram.

Is tuition online or in person?

Both. Lessons run in person across Islington, Finsbury Park, Highbury, Crouch End and Stoke Newington, or live online, wherever you are — and the same tutor takes every lesson either way.

What if my child is behind at school?

That’s the most common starting point, not an exception. Muhammad begins with a short diagnostic to see exactly which topics need rebuilding first, then works forward from there rather than assuming prior knowledge.
