Khalid

I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Engineering at Loughborough University. I live in Wollaton, Nottingham and have 3 children in secondary school/college. I have helped over 1200 children with Maths and Physics over my 28 years experience. I specialise in exam preparation and have excellent references and feedback from lots of very satisfied parents. I have also marked exam papers and can guide students to the essential key points to gain maximum marks.
Currently tutoring children from these Private and Grammar schools:
Nottingham High, Notts Girls High, Trent College Long Eaton, The Kings school (Peterborough), Loughborough Grammar.
Also tutoring many local children from: Fernwood School, Bluecoat Academy, George Spencer, Bilborough College, Nottingham College, Alderman White and Bramcote College.

Below are some of the many positive feedback I have reveived from this agency and can be seen in the feedback section:

"From the moment I contacted Khalid regarding tutoring for my daughter he has been nothing short of fantastic. Responds promptly and clearly to any messages sent to him.
My daughter feels at ease with Khalid’s teaching style and enjoys the 1 hour lessons she has with him.
In the short space of time Khalid has been working with my daughter her maths teacher has at school has seen an improvement in her school work.
My daughter would get anxious when completing maths work and with khalids help she is overcoming her anxiousness in this subject which is vital with it being her last year at school.
I cannot praise Khalid enough and would highly recommend him for anybody needing math tutoring" from Jay Henry.

"Khalid is an amazing tutor who puts the needs of the student at the heart of his teaching. He is able to put the student at ease, which is key, so that effective learning can take place. My child looks forward to each session. He is friendly and has a calm manner " from Ansa Batool.

"Khalid has been tutoring my son GCSE Maths for a few weeks and both me and my son are very happy so far. He is always been prompt in responding to any questions I might have and is adaptable in teaching my son specific topics, even though I give him only a few hours notice. My son has been happy with his teaching methods and knowledge of subjects. All in all, very happy and would recommend Khalid" from Sat Dau.

" Excellent tutor! I approached Khalid recently regarding A-Level maths tutoring to help with my upcoming exams. Very friendly and welcoming and very good at explaining things I’ve found difficult with the course to help with my understanding" from Ben Cook.

"Khalid has really helped my son rebuild confidence in his own maths abilities after an end of year 12 result that he wasn't happy with. The approach Khalid uses during tuition strongly consolidates all learning with revisiting questions and scoring answers against the official mark schemes. There is weekly homework that focuses on similar topics to embed the learning and increase fluency" from Antoinette Humphreys.

" Khalid seems to be an excellent tutor. He is extremely knowledgable. He has taken time to get to know our son and he has a very good ability to explain things at the right level, so that they are explained in sufficient detail yet not too confusing for the person learning. Khalid is very friendly and extremely professional, and he has taken a stern approach when needed which is good to see these days. I cannot say anything negative about him. Top marks" from Joanna Bampton.

"My daughter has struggled with the lack of support from her school over Covid and developed a few bad habits in her learning. I'd never engaged a tutor before but feel extremely lucky to have found Khalid. He met with us, got to know my daughter and has been working with her over the Summer Holidays. My daughter has already shown signs of improvement and given time (with Khalid's support) I now have confidence that she will catch up and then excel. Khalid has been excellent and I highly recommend him" from Stephan Hayward.

"Khalid has been tutoring my daughter for GCSE science/maths for a couple of months now and in that time her confidence has grown tremendously and she is really improving well. Homework is set each week and anything she doesn’t understand Khalid will explain on her next lesson. My daughter feels really comfortable with Khalid as he is very patient and explains things clearly. I would definitely recommend Khalid, so much so that in I am planning on him tutoring my son for A level sciences next year" from Elaine Joannides.

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored online and in person from Primary, KS3, GCSE and A-level and also have experience with Adult learners and children with special needs. I use Zoom/Skype and have a Graphics tablet allowing me to write onto the screen and share screens. I send any notes, summaries or questions done on the screen as pdf files at the end. I have over 100 online textbooks/workbooks/revision guides and digital lessons/homework which I share online or by email. I am very experienced and fluent with using online portals such as MyMaths, SPARX, Hegarty Maths & MathsWatch and know how to use them effectively to their full potential to aid progress and learning. I use many other online quizzes and tests to check understanding and make lessons interactive.
I teach small groups of children and many of my students continue with sessions for 5 or 6 years along with their siblings. I have had many positive letters/gifts from parents once their children's excellent results arrive. Nearly all of my students improve by at least 2 or 3 grades from their starting position. I cover all the main exam boards including AQA, Edexcel and OCR.

Tutoring Approach

I have a patient, friendly and flexible approach and am successful since I adjust my teаching style to match eаch student. I like to make my sessions as enjoyable and interactive as possible in order to motivate and engage my students.

I provide real life examples which helps understanding and gives purpose. I simplify complex problems/topics into smaller, manageable tasks or points. I guide students to the answer or correct path by asking key, well-timed questions or hints.

I carry out an initial assessment and then create a schedule, targeting weaker topics. I review work regularly and I always provide weekly homework at the end of each session to help practice the concepts learnt in the lesson and regularly provide feedback to parents. I test students on material covered a few weeks earlier to ensure it has been retained.

I start working on exam questions early on allowing time later to progress onto more challenging questions. I give guidance on efficient techniques, time planning and the best approach for all the various types of exam questions.
