ABOUT

MATHS AND SCIENCE TUITION

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy at MST, is that we’re so much more than tutors. As a result, we deliver a great deal over and above pure tuition!

Have you ever been at the theatre, or watching an intense movie, and your focus is so complete that everything else fades from your consciousness?

That’s how I run my lessons. Each one is a performance of its own, designed to completely engage my student in a total focus on the matter at hand.

In reality, my students take centre stage and the lesson revolves around their specific needs, challenges and developmental requirements.

These days, it’s all too easy to assume tutors are created equal, when in fact, that is far from the truth. Yes, someone who has passed an exam, or acquired a degree, has a certain amount of knowledge. Yet learning and teaching are very different abilities!

The often-overlooked element in private tuition is experience. One must learn the craft of private tuition, for I believe it to differ greatly from other forms of teaching. To capture attention and accelerate learning and understanding requires a different approach from that which a student experiences day to day at school. It’s something that takes time to develop fully for maximum benefit of the student.

I have in excess of 12,000 hours of 1 to 1 tuition, during which time I have honed my craft and enjoyed the success stories of a great many students to date. My passion for learning, which I see as an ongoing journey, is something I impart to my students to positive effect.

Beyond tuition, my preferred method is one of tutoring and coaching in equal measure. It’s not uncommon for my students to take the reins and enhance their learning skills by demonstrably teaching the topic themselves. This is just one of many ways in which I work tirelessly to increase student confidence which reaps huge reward both in and outside of academia.

The ability to take a step back and to enable the student to relax and to achieve a mindful state, ready for studying, is key to opening up the mind for learning and inspiration. This also helps us to connect fully with the student as an individual and it’s not uncommon for sticking points to be related to things far removed from the classroom. We spend time to get to know and to understand the fears, concerns and sticking points of our students.

“In just 3 months Muhammad helped Lois increase her AS Maths mock marks by 3 grades in the public exam. However the results are not the only measure of Muhammad’s tuition: the transformation in Lois’ confidence thanks to his teaching style permeated not just her maths but other areas of her school work too. Sometimes school teachers and friends – without realising or intending to – may appear patronising or judgemental when responding to a question asked in class. Muhammad’s lessons are the antithesis of that experience and this was key to the restoration of Lois’ belief in her abilities.”

“Muhammad was a really fantastic maths tutor for our son who was sitting the 11+. He originally lacked confidence but after a few one to one sessions he began to show real improvement. By the time of the exams he felt really well prepared and much happier about his maths. With Muhammad’s help he has got a place at his top choice school and we are over the moon.”

“I would recommend Muhammad without hesitation. He tutored my son and daughter in maths, physics and chemistry and both of them benefited enormously from his help and support.

A few months after he started to see Muhammad, my son moved up two sets in maths at school from the 4th to the 2nd set. Ultimately he received an A grade at GCSE; he would have been very unlikely to achieve this without Muhammad’s help.

More importantly though – both children really enjoyed going to see Muhammad. They really warmed to his enthusiasm, warmth and extremely positive can-do attitude – he is inspirational.”
