Ferdus

I am a mathematics teacher at an outstanding comprehensive secondary & sixth form school in Redbridge (16 years). I have a First Class Honours Masters in science degree in Mathematics and Astrophysics and received several prizes over my years at university for achieving outstanding results in my exams. I also have a PGCE in mathematics from the Institute of Education.

I am the head of A level mathematics at my school in charge of developing and delivering the new A level specification. I love teaching maths which is why I am offering tutoring service on the weekend and weekday evenings.

I am running group sessions online as well as 1-2-1 online and in person tuition at clients home.

I am also offering in person tuition of small size (2-3 students) at a chosen address, please get in touch to discuss.

Spaces are limited so please get in touch soon to discuss your needs.

**The first lesson free is only for group sessions.

The online group sessions are designed to complement school teachings and exam preparation. I will be revising/teaching topics, going over exam questions/papers and providing support for homework. Students can also email me with requests to cover specific topics. Each session will be recorded and available for download (for at least 2 weeks) to re-view or catch up on missed sessions. Students will also have access to the class notes via Microsoft OneNote for all sessions to go back and revise or to make their own notes. I will also be setting weekly homework for students to submit via email which will be marked, and most difficult questions reviewed during lesson.

GCSE Group A - mostly for year 11’s though year 10’s can join. This is an elite group who are aiming to get a grade 7+. We focus on the last third of the exam paper and use iGCSE past paper questions as well to compliment and build understanding of high grade topics.

Year 12 AS level group covering year 1 content, starting year 2 after the AS exam
One lesson per week: Sunday 10 - 11:30am (1 hour 30mins)

Year 13 A2 level group covering mostly year 2 content and topics from year 1 on request

Tutoring Experience

Over my years I have taught all ability groups in KS3 and GCSE mathematics with my upper sets achieving 100% grade 7+. (90% grade 8+ before covid).

I also teach further mathematics in GCSE and A level taking the further mechanics options route in A level (100% A*-C).

I also teach International A level iAL modules P1, P2, P3, P4, M1 and M2.

Tutoring Approach

I support my students by building on their experiences and knowledge as they are introduced to new concepts in mathematics. I always start with the basics assuming no prior knowledge building up their confidence before making links to new topics.

I can provide a tailored study programme to:

• consolidate and strengthen topics currently being taught at school or areas needing improvement on

• prepare for exams and revising through past papers

• achieve desired exam grade and unlock potential to possible achieve higher

Online Tuition will be via zoom and will be using a digital whiteboard to interact with my tutees.

I will provide resources from text books and various websites that I frequently use with my students at school (including exam and test papers).
