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.

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.

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.

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.

Very impressed with the service provided by MST, was recommended by a colleague for my daughter who is in year 11. I am very grateful to have found the group session classes, it’s affordable and main thing is my daughter enjoys Muhammads classes.

Our son is in Year 12 studying A-level Physics, and the tutoring with Muhammad has made a real difference in a relatively short period of time.

His marks have improved by nearly 30% in just 6 weeks; he’s gone from an E to a high B (!)

The lessons are clear, well structured and focused on building both understanding and exam technique. Difficult topics are explained in a way that finally makes sense, and any gaps in knowledge are quickly identified and addressed. Just as importantly, the tutoring has helped rebuild his confidence and reduced a huge amount of exam stress.

We’re extremely pleased with the progress he’s made and would highly recommend Muhammad to anyone looking for effective, supportive A-level Physics tuition.

We’ve recently started lessons with Muhammad & have been really impressed. My children are studying with him across KS3, GCSE & A-level.

He explains things clearly, focuses on exam technique & what examiners are looking for & really builds their confidence. All 3 have commented on how comfortable they feel answering questions, even when they’re unsure & how encouraging he is when they get things right.

My KS3 son was very reluctant to have tuition & only agreed to try one lesson after a lot of persuasion. He came out of it really happy & said he wanted to continue, which says a lot.

We also appreciate how he makes high quality tuition accessible to families who might otherwise struggle to afford it.

Really pleased we found him & would definitely recommend.

What a fascinating initiative and such a dynamic sound. My daughter in A Levels learnt and contacted the tutor, Mr. Muhammad Ali, who in turn first wanted to ensure that the parents are aware before any conversations or lessons commence.

Once I overheard part of a lesson and the dynamic voice of Mr Muhammad Ali was captivating for the audience and I felt it would be hard for stuents to be distracted in his lessons.

He seems to set the basics and helps student understand them and takes the class together and generates interactive discussions to help improve the understanding.

He was theb continuing to encourage the answers from the students so they could answer exam questions appropriately.

My daughter started with one lesson a week but is now covering 3 subjects with Mr Muhammad Ali.

I think this man is dedicated towards a cause to inspire and teach and his initiative of letting the students / parents decide the fee based on circumstancew for group lessons goes to show his decency and human nature.

I wish he was teaching more subjects really.

We have only recently started working with Muhammad, but our experience so far has been extremely positive.

What has impressed me most is the way he encourages genuine mathematical thinking rather than simply focusing on getting the right answer. He gets our son to look for patterns, explain his reasoning and discover ideas for himself, which is exactly the kind of deeper understanding and curiosity we were hoping to develop.

Muhammad has also been very warm, patient and engaging with our son, and the lessons have felt intellectually stimulating without becoming intimidating. After his most recent lesson, our son told us that he “loved it” and was so pleased with the work he had done on triangular numbers that he pulled the page out of his exercise book and stuck it on his bedroom wall!

It is still early days, but the signs are very encouraging and we are very pleased with the start Muhammad has made with him.

Muhammad is an amazing maths tutor! He’s been coming into our school to work with our Year 6 pupils for a number of years now, and the impact has been huge. His group sessions have contributed to our school’s fantastic SATs results, especially by helping so many children reach Greater Depth.

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.

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.

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.

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 helped me massively with my section 3 in the Gamsat. I went from a score of 40 in the first attempt up to 57 with his help. He transformed my approach to section 3 with his strategy. I wouldn’t have improved that much without him!

Muhammad helped to move Cameron’s performance in maths from a D grade last summer to an A grade in his public examination 12 months later. He also was instrumental in helping Cameron to shift up a grade in both his chemistry and his physics papers. Muhammad is well qualified, energetic, enthusiastic, committed and approachable.

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.

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!

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 could not have gone from an E in my Physics AS mock to a high A in the final examination without Muhammad’s tutoring. I now have a place to study medicine at Kings thanks to him.

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.

Muhammad is an exceptional Maths and Physics tutor. He taught my son at GCSE and A Level and gave him huge confidence. His enthusiastic, engaging manner and clear teaching style definitely helped my son achieve top grades.
