We joined Muhammad’s summer revision course and was very impressed by the quality and intensity of the revision. If you want your child to be challenged, this course is your go-to. Muhammad sets a very high standard giving (not a typo) 13+ questions. The English course with Farida was a good reminder of what to focus on creative writing. We only wish we joined the tutoring earlier.

We are so grateful to Muhammad and the team at MST for their incredible support. Thanks to his expert guidance in maths, my son achieved outstanding results this year. He applied to 6 top private schools and received offers from 5 schools including scholarship offers from King’s College School Wimbledon and Latymer Upper. He also received offers from Highgate, City of London, UCS, and Dame Alice Owen’s.

Muhammad is not only a brilliant teacher but also truly cares about his students' progress. We couldn't have done it without him.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier academic support! And MST to any family looking for serious, high-quality maths preparation. Thank you again for everything.

MST managed give the confidence back to my school-averse kid who had struggled with attendance for months to the point where they're back on track to achieve at least their predicted GCSEs or better. Even better, they're enjoying maths and feeling good about themselves. Having Muhammad talk about his own experience going from perceived failure to success was super helpful. Highly recommend.

Thanks to their dedication and expertise, my son not only improved his understanding of complex topics but also achieved an excellent score in his exams. The tutoring sessions were well-structured, engaging, and tailored to address his specific needs, building his confidence and skills each week.

The classes were apt for time and work.

I am extremely impressed with Muhammad, who was recommended during a crisis after failing GCSEs twice. Since my son started with him, his confidence in math's has significantly improved, and he leaves each session buzzing with excitement for his re-sit. If you’re looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Muhammad.

Our 6F is lucky enough to benefit from Muhammad's expertise - he provides excellent bespoke small group tuition to our targeted Year 12 and 13 students in A level Maths and Physics, and has provided critical NSAA preparation for our Year 13s preparing for those tough Cambridge admissions tests.

My daughters (Y9 and Y11) had 1 to 1 maths lessons with Muhammad. I highly recommend him and would use him again without hesitation. He is very friendly and engaging and boosted their confidence in maths. He gave excellent tips regarding my daughter’s gcse exams. He provided detailed feedback from each lesson which was really helpful.

Over the past year, Muhammed has helped me with my GCSE Maths, Physics and Chemistry. He helps me fix my weaknesses in those subjects. And has provided me faster ways to complete tough complex questions. He is an incredibly enthusiastic and encouraging tutor and I couldn’t recommend Muhammad more!

I couldn't be happier with the way Muhammad has taught my son. He has been teaching him maths, physics and chemistry and the way he explains all of these subjects is so clear and thorough that my son says he makes even the most difficult topics incredibly easy to understand.

Muhammad tutored my child weekly for 5 months before their Maths GCSE exam and we’re really pleased with their results. The group online sessions running through exam papers were very good too.

My son recently attended the 11+ summer camp and was so impressed by Muhammad's teaching. He is thorough and extremely engaging and my son is looking forward to starting 1:1 sessions with him in September. I highly recommend both Muhammad and Farida, who teaches English for MST. My son has had 1:1 English sessions with Farida for some time and she is also fantastic, challenging and extremely thorough. If you're looking for 11+ preparation, look no further!

My son had maths tuition with Muhammad nearly a year for 11+ exam preparation and he also joined Summer Camp. The Summer camp set up with brilliant programme including all 11+ subjects such as NVR, VR and English Writing skills. My son loved the summer camp and he said it definitely help him a lot. He has been taught a lot of nice exam skills and methods for all subjects. Also, he made lots of good friends at summer camp. Thanks for the amazing summer camp!

Muhammad tutored my daughter over three fantastic sessions just before her GCSE exams. We only wish we’d discovered him sooner. She found the sessions extremely helpful and particularly in regard to exam techniques

My children have started some half term short maths courses with Muhammad. He is a passionate and enthusiastic tutor providing invaluable tips and methods for tackling tricky questions and has a great rapport with the children. Muhammad provides private tuition to children from all walks of life, making it accessible to everyone, giving ALL children the chance to reach their true potential. 🙂

We only have praise for Mr. Ali. Peter is excited about Mr.Ali’'s guide on Math while preparing for 11+ and looks forward to his tutoring. This is fantastic that Peter understood Ali's learning style during their first session. Peter is engaged, happy and learning! We are very grateful to meet with Mr.Ali and extremely happy with how Peter is progressing.

Muhammed Ali tutored my son for about a year for 11+ , his classes were very engaging with a warm up session and building up to difficult and then into more challenging questions, this helped my son get good at each topic and get better understanding of each topic than dealing with several concepts at same time. My son achieved good results and got into one of super selective schools
Would highly recommend Muhammed

Muhammad is a superb tutor. I had two sessions for the GAMSAT which transformed my approach to the exam and unlocked it for me. The exam techniques that Muhammad taught me were invaluable. Muhammad is really friendly and a great teacher - enthusiastic, encouraging, and insightful. I can’t recommend Muhammad enough!

My daughter did a short course with Muhammad just before sitting her GCSE maths exams to help her with exam technique and practice exam questions. She really enjoyed the maths classes and particularly Muhammad's enthusiasm for the subject. She also found the detailed explanations and clear working out very helpful, and also how everyone got the opportunity to explain their answers through. It helped her achieve an excellent grade in the exam.

Muhammad tutored my son in maths and had my son hitting a high 90+s% average score across his mock papers a couple of months after starting. He also recommended we get in touch with Farida for English lessons and she has been fantastic at teaching him techniques for success. My son is lucky enough to have been offered a place at his first choice top London school. Thank you Muhammad and Farida!

Muhammad Ali has tutored our son for almost one year now. The tutoring has consisted of a combination of individual lessons and attendance at various Maths groups lesson. Some of the group sessions have been particularly focussed for the 11 plus. Muhammad offers a wide range of tutoring options for all budgets. I think that is a fantastic and very inclusive model to ensure that all children can be given the opportunity to be taught by an excellent Maths tutor.

As well as being an expert Maths tutor, he has a very confident, positive and encouraging nature. It is not easy to find a tutor who has all of these qualities. Muhammad is committed and takes interest in our son and I am more than happy to recommend him to others. Lastly, my son thoroughly enjoys his time with Muhammad and continues to improve and gain confidence. I am hoping Muhammad will be a long standing tutor during his school years. Thank you, Muhammad.

Excellent, upbeat, thorough maths tutor. Fantastic, in depth understanding of his subject. Pushes the kids to really have the most detailed understanding. Highly recommend Muhammad to anyone who is either struggling to fully grasp a topic, or someone wanting to achieve excellent exam results.

Mr Muhammad is an excellent tutor, it’s very difficult to find a tutor like him these days, he can teach complex problems so easily to kids in just few minutes, very punctual and starts every class with so much spirit. My son loved attending his 11+ Maths courses and eagerly waited for the next session. My son scored really good marks in his exams and many thanks to Mr Muhammad who helped him in his journey. I will recommend this fantastic tutor to anyone .

Muhammad is a great tutor , not a one size fits all kind of teacher! He regularly takes time to ask how his students found his session, made my daughter feel really welcome in his course.

We are using his Year 4 course as a refresher to identify gaps in her learning as she embarks key stage 3 . Not having SATs this year and missing nearly 2 academic years of school, it’s a welcome incentive for her to work independently on something alongside her school work.

Ana Freeman

Our son took two of Muhammad's group courses for 11 plus maths prep. Muhammad focused on teaching techniques for very difficult questions, often not found in mainstream revision materials, such as CGP or Bonds. Both courses are great for students with a good understanding of the curriculum but still finding certain questions challenging/lengthy.

Muhammad tutored my son in physics A level. Muhammad kindly accommodated us at short notice when the school assessment grades were showing some slippage. My son found the sessions very useful, his confidence improved significantly with the tutoring and his final result was an A*.

Muhammad has tutored two of my children one through GCSE and the other near the end of primary school. I highly recommend him. My older child passed her exam with the grade needed. We really appreciated his help and advice. He also helped my youngest feel more confident and gave him the grounding he needed to move on to KS3. Muhammad has a knack of explaining concepts clearly. Many thanks

MST is a fantastic program especially, Muhammed is a great teacher he knows how to teach in which the students can understand. He does amazing speed tricks that can save time to look over and see the mistakes. He makes 11+ easier in a way that children find easy to do. Our son (9 years old) has been tutored by Muhammad and now he is fully confident and is able to do most of the 11+ maths. Highly recommend.

Muhammad really helped my son to accelerate and consolidate his learning for his 11+ exams. My son found it enjoyable which was really important in the run up to the madness and pressure of 11+. Muhammad had a great manner that really encouraged him and helped him fell a sense of accomplishment. I would highly recommend Muhammad at MST.

MST has been an amazing online program we’ve cherished. My daughter is highly gifted, dyslexic and only 8. She suffers from very slow processing speed but has the capability to learn complex math. Muhammad has worked with her one to one on incredible high level maths as well as mental maths tricks that make her understanding so much better.

It’s easy to find tutors who offer classes that just go by the book of 11+ or gcse math curriculum. Different and so rare to find someone who really gets your complex kid and can break through tough
Challenges with them. He’s dynamic and fast thinking and really gets kids! Highly recommend! Worth it 100%!!

My son took part in Muhammad's "Math-e-magics" 6-day course over the Easter holidays. It was stretching for him (in a good way) and he learnt a huge amount in a very short space of time. He was enthused about the course and said he would be very happy to do some more (high praise!). As someone who has enjoyed using maths in my studies and career I occasionally listened in and was very impressed by Muhammad's teaching methods and clarity of delivery (I learnt more than I would care to admit to!). We would not hesitate in using Muhammad as a math's tutor again.

Muhammad is an excellent Maths tutor. My daughter was preparing for her 11+ exams and I wanted her to have a subject-specific tutor as the schools she's applied for are very competitive. Muhammad's passion and enthusiasm in Maths as well as his unique style of teaching kept my daughter buzzing and wanting to learn with each lesson. He also taught my daughter the best techniques to derive the answer quickly, which is absolutely key in the 11+ exams. My daughter has just received her 11+ exam results - she was accepted by all the schools including South Hampstead, Highgate, Channing. I do believe that Muhammad's tutoring had contributed towards her achieving these results. As such, I would recommend Muhammad accordingly.

Muhammad offers excellent maths tutoring. He worked with my daughter to prep for 11+ exams and achieved great results. Offers great tips for exam technique and ensures they work to the level required and beyond. Highly recommended.

Muhammad is a fantastic tutor. Our eldest child had weekly 1:1 with Muhammad for a little over a year leading up to his 11+ exams. Thanks to Muhammad, our child was able to get offers from his top choice grammar and independent schools. We've been so pleased with Muhammad that our second child has also started seeing him for his 11+ later this year. Not only is he very good at what he does but he also genuinely cares about his students. We'd highly recommend Muhammad to anyone who is looking for a great tutor!

I was self tutoring my child for the 11+ exams, when I caught sight of Muhammad's 11+ Summer masterclass offering. As he came highly recommended by another 11+ parent, I decided to give it a go and am so pleased I did. In the masterclasses, Muhammad taught children tips and tricks to use for a wide array of challenging 11+ questions; he provided the children with several topic-based questions to do within every session as well as providing extra practice for homework. I love teachers who are passionate about their subject and Muhammad is one of those teachers. He is a teacher with a very unique teaching style, and I was very pleased with his masterclass. My daughter has done really well in her exams. For us it was worth every penny and I'm sure his secondary maths lessons are of equal par. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Muhammad. We were lucky to have found him.

This course has really helped me with the transition from GCSE level to A Level. It covered the majority of the upcoming syllabus for year 12 which has really given me an advantage moving forward. The huge insight into the course has ensured me that I’ve chosen the right subject to take for a level. Muhammad was really good at helping me if I needed help and I found the course easy to understand so I’d definitely recommend this course to other students.

Our son has been tutored and guided by the wonderful Muhammad. Muhammad really cares and gets involved in the progress and success of his students. Being “written off” by his school to even pass his GCSE Maths, Muhammad instilled confidence and knowledge into our son which led to him receiving a grade over and beyond anyone’s expectations.

Ema Gaywood

My daughter chose Maths as one of her A level subjects. She has always been good at Maths, really enjoying it, secured a very high GCSE grade in Maths and Further Maths so taking Maths for A Level wasn’t even a question for her. Sadly, she had a very bumpy time in Year 12, huge staff turnover that meant she got a poor end of Year 12 mark. As a result of that, she began to dislike the subject and wanted to give up. We decided to try and find a tutor to help her get her love and confidence back and came across Muhammad’s web page. After careful discussion with her, she agreed to only have one lesson with Muhammad. When she came home, she was absolutely beaming and wanted to carry on. As Year 13 went by, her confidence came back and her love for Maths grew stronger. Her results improved immensely and she believed she finally believed she was good enough to secure a high grade in her exam. Sadly, due to Covid, the exams were cancelled but she still completed the course with Muhammad and was rewarded an A in Maths! She is very proud of herself for working hard and taking every bit of advice from Muhammad seriously. We can’t thank Muhammad enough for all the help, encouragement and support and cannot recommend him enough.
