Information About Abhi

Personal Description: A full-time tutor and mentor with a passion for the subject I teach! I also have a keen interest in learning new languages, freestyle slalom skating, World cinema & music, piano playing, crocheting, to name a few.

Tutoring Experience: UK qualified secondary maths teacher with experience of state-school teaching and a decade of mentor/tutoring knowledge. Tutoring is my professional calling and my decision to pursue a teaching career stemmed from my very positive experiences of providing tuition. I provide tuition to state and private (day and Int'l boarder) students in all Key Stages as well as adult learners (i.e. trainee teachers preparing for their QTS skills tests). I am very pleased to note that a majority of my tutees have come to me by referral from other tutees.

Tutoring Approach: Although we can all not be THE best, we can all be OUR best. My tutoring style achieves best when the short-term objective is based on this acceptance. My goal as a tutor is simple - to enable every of my tutees to become successful INDEPENDENT learners who are not just able to pass the next assessment but every h/w, test etc by themselves. Becoming a permanent fixture in their lives is not the plan because your progress is my success.

I begin every tuition commitment with an introductory/diagnostic lesson; I like to judge for myself the student's current areas of strength and weakness. I always start by checking the foundation; a sure foundation is the only way to guarantee our short-term objectives are successfully met and that we lay a solid foundation for continued academic endeavours.

Each tutee is provided with a folder and a program of study designed to meet our objectives. I plan and bring with me a lesson task and H/w, which is completed and stored in the folder. Lesson delivery is done very much with the learner's individual learning style in mind. I incorporate as many forms of media as possible to teach and keep the interests of my tutee. I also try to show the relevance and application of Maths in everyday life. This folder is available to the parents and tutee at all times and allows everyone involved to understand where we started, where we are presently and how much further we need to go.

11+, 13+ and other entrance exams:
These tuitions are differently structured in that I work through practice papers for English, Maths, Non-Verbal and Verbal reasoning depending on the requirements of the school applied for. I do not teach to the test for I believe it does not lead to lasting understanding of the concept; I address every identified weakness. As the weeks progress, we then begin to focus on completing past papers in the set time and as accurately as possible.

From Yanni (5/5): (GCSE Maths) Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You let the children know that you believe in them and your confidence allows them to excell in a subject that they never thought possible. We would be delighted to whole-heartedly recommend you to others.

Reply from Abhi: I must thank you for believing in me and my methods too!
You have giving me the space to just teach as I deemed effective and it has been seriously rewarding for the children and me.
One goal met and by God’s grace, the upcoming objectives will be, not just met, but surpassed with every academic potential realised. :-)


From Heather (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Extremely happy with Abhi! She is helping my daughter tremendously and is very motivating and keeps each lesson interesting.

Reply from Abhi: Thank you! I aim to please and more importantly, to achieve our mutual goals. It has been a pleasure thus far and may the progress continue. :D

From Saralynn (5/5): (Secondary Maths) Gabriel has settled into his new routine well and seems very happy with Abhi. He tells me that the lessons are interesting and relevant to him. Abhi has coped with me being an absent parent due to work commitments and that is much appreciated.
All in all, a good result, thank you.

Reply from Abhi: Gabriel has been a credit to you each and every week thus far. Over the last 3 weeks especially, I have found that providing him with a choice of tasks and keeping the writing minimal have allowed him to complete a lot of work without realising so. With Gabriel, variety and a relaxed atmosphere have been instrumental in bringing him out of his shell and getting him engaged. It is a pleasure to see him each week and I am confident he will discover a love for learning that will enable him to achieve a level of success that will reflect his ample natural ability.

From Amina (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams) Very pleased with abhi's tutoring. Yasmin is making good progress in learning what miss abhi is teaching her. I would not hesitate in calling her to tutor my younger daughter when it is her time.
Regards
Amina

Reply from Abhi: Thank you mum Amina:)! My sessions with Yasmin are such an enjoyable time; she encourages me to give my very best every week. As a family you make our objective possible to achieve. By God's grace, in Nov. we will all have a reason to rejoice.

From Sharon (5/5): (Primary Maths) Very good start to the Maths tuition for Sophie. Can see her confidence starting to build. Abhi is making what Sophie thought a boring subject more interesting. Thank you Abhi, and may the progress continue.

Reply from Abhi: Working with Sophie is a pleasure :-D! We manage to laugh alot through the lesson and watching her understand the concept at hand (her way) is great.
My aim is to maintain and improve on the standard already set so that we can meet our objective of building Sophie's confidence in preparations for her 11+ exams in a manner that lays a solid foundation for her continued academic endeavours.


From Stuart (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Abhi has been tutoring me for 6-7 weeks in Maths now and i am very impressed with her level of Tutoring that she has brought to me. She has been very thorough in her teachings, making sure i have not just a understanding in the skills that i need to pass tests but also in the foundations of the subject it's self. She is a wonderfull (also very smiley) lady and i would recomend her to anyone who is looking for tutoring.

Reply from Abhi: Well thank you Stuart for such a glowing report. :D
I will admit, I was one part excited and two parts anxious to receive your initial inquiry for you were to become my very first A-Level student. The last 7weeks as your tutor have proven that my initial worries were generally unfounded. Thank you for allowing me the room to develop an ‘A-Level’ style of teaching. I hope to maintain and improve the standard already set and to meet our joint objective of achieving your desired A-Level grade in a manner that lays a solid foundation for your continued academic endeavours.


From Deirdre (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams) Abhi is charming , friendly and highly motivated and my daughter loves her weekly sessions and has already gained confidence and knowledge !!

Reply from Abhi: Well, thank you. Charming is a new adjective for me :-D.
I hope to maintain and improve on the standard already set so that we can meet our joint objective of building your daughter's confidence in preparations for her 11+ exams in a manner that lays a solid foundation for her continued academic endeavours.


From Claire (5/5): (GCSE Maths) We are extremely happy with Abhi, she is brilliantly prepared, enthusiastic and positive !! Meg looks forward to seeing her on a Saturday morning…

Reply from Abhi: Well, thank you. :-D
I hope to maintain the standard already set and to meet our joint objective of building Megan's confidence in Maths (spilling into other subjects) and to raise her targeted GCSE grade.
