How it works
How do lessons work if you live nearby?
It starts with a short conversation with Muhammad, then a one-off assessment lesson so he can see where your child actually is, then a regular weekly lesson — in person locally in Islington or online, whichever suits your family.
01
Enquire
Tell Muhammad what your child is finding hardest. He takes this conversation himself, and it costs nothing.
02
Assessment lesson
A single lesson to establish the real starting point, in person locally in Islington or online — whichever works best for your family.
03
Weekly lesson
A regular one-to-one or two-to-one lesson, in person or online, or a pay-what-you-can online group lesson, at the same day and time each week.
