Here are some of my recent testimonials:

“We cannot express enough gratitude for having Arslan as our child’s math tutor. His dedication to our child’s education has been truly remarkable. Under his direction, my child has developed a genuine passion for maths. It is now her favourite subject at school. Arslan goes above and beyond to ensure that our child understands complex concepts and is always patient and encouraging. Thanks to his guidance, our child’s confidence in math has soared, and her grades reflect this. Being now strong in maths has also helped in other mathematical-based subjects. We wholeheartedly recommend Arslan to any parent seeking an excellent maths tutor who genuinely cares about their student’s success.” Parent, Wandsworth

"I've been fortunate to have the same math tutor since I was 7, and I can't express how valuable this experience has been. My tutor has created a fantastic learning environment and helped me achieve my Maths A-Level ahead of schedule. My math tutor has been instrumental in my journey from age 7 to A-Level success. I highly recommend him for his passion, expertise, and unwavering support. His impact on my education is immeasurable, and I'm grateful for his guidance", M (Student)

"Arslan has taught me for the past decade. Each one of those lessons has taught me something new about maths. He is a hugely dedicated teacher and he has helped me advance my maths years past my peers. I am hugely grateful for all the help he has given for me and without him would not be anywhere near the same mathematician I am today. I have achieved GCSE, AS-level and A level maths early with top grades two years early thanks to Arslan’s help", O (Student)

Tutoring Approach

As a tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience, I have developed a variety of research-based tutoring techniques that have proven to be successful in helping students reach their academic goals. I possess the flexibility to tailor my teaching approach to accommodate the unique requirements of each individual. My training has equipped me with research-based tools, which have proven to be remarkably successful within my department. Specifically, I employ the Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) style, known for its exceptional effectiveness in capturing learners' attention. My instructional methods are cantered on making lessons captivating and relevant, consistently integrating real-life examples to facilitate a deeper understanding of the concepts

Commencing every lesson with a High Intensity Retrieval exercise is a practice I adhere to. This approach has been empirically demonstrated as the most potent method for cementing learning in long-term memory, a phenomenon elucidated by the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve.

This is how I generally proceed with the lessons:

  1. Diagnostic assessment (I can provide this before the first lesson)
  2. Identifying the topics required to improve
  3. After three or four lessons, the student's learning ability is established
  4. A full support plan is created with the collaboration of the parent/guardian
  5. Regular reviews and assessments
