Tuition for older students in Islington and online

Muhammad Ali, a Cambridge PhD physicist, has taught in Islington and the surrounding boroughs since 2010. Mathematics and Science Tuition (MST) offers one-to-one lessons for adults and sixth-formers, in any subject and at any level, from numeracy and literacy basics to A Level, university entry and professional exams. Lessons are £120 per hour, with a free first consultation to find out where to start.

Are you an adult or sixth-former looking for help?

Whether it is literacy or numeracy, a specific subject or an exam, get in touch to see if MST can help.

Some adults want to rebuild the basics. Others are returning to study, changing career or preparing for an exam. Students aged 18 and over can arrange lessons themselves. For sixth-formers under 18, a parent or guardian is the contact and pays for the lessons. Lessons start with a short conversation to find out where to begin, then run one to one, in person or online.

What can help

  • Numeracy basics: arithmetic, fractions, percentages and everyday maths
  • Literacy basics: reading, writing and study skills
  • GCSE and A Level subjects, including Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English
  • Returning to study, access courses and degree-level maths and science
  • University entrance tests, such as TMUA and ESAT
  • Graduate and professional exams, such as GAMSAT and GMAT
  • Workplace numerical reasoning tests

Lessons are matched to your own goal, whether that is catching up on the basics or sitting an exam. The pace is set by you, not by a fixed course length. Muhammad teaches Maths, Physics and GCSE and IGCSE Chemistry himself. Biology, English and A Level Chemistry are taught by MST’s associate tutors, with the fee upon request.

Students start anywhere, from rusty but capable to genuinely anxious. The aim is steady progress and real confidence, at a pace that works for them.

How it works

Lessons & fees

One-to-one

£120/hr

Sixth-formers (Y12/13) follow a weekly schedule. Only adults paying for themselves can book flexibly, so lessons do not have to be weekly or at the same time each week.

Sessions run

Sixth-formers have a weekly slot. Adults paying for themselves can arrange times that suit them, subject to availability.

GAMSAT — exam technique transformed

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!
