Mehdi

Highly experienced A-level (and GCSE) Economics and Mathematics tutor. Possess a First-Class Honours in Economics BSc (UCL - University College London). With a 100% success rate of students achieving AT LEAST an A/A* grade in their A-level exams and a level 8/9 in their GCSE.

ABOUT ME

I have a First- Class Honours in Economics BSc from UCL (University College London), graduating as one of the top students in the class. I have been teaching, tutoring and running crash courses in A-level Economics, A-level Mathematics and GCSE Mathematics for the past 10 years.

My mission is simple – to get each and every one of my students AT LEAST an A in their subject. I have a passion for teaching and helping my students achieve A* grades in their GCSE and A-level exams. Without exception, every student I've taught has secured at least an 'A' grade, with the majority achieving an A* grade. My expertise lies in Economics, Mathematics, and Further Mathematics, both at GCSE, iGCSE and A-level.

I am results driven, making sure that every single part of the syllabus for the course is covered and that my student is 100% ready to perform better than expected in their exam. I truly believe that I can help any student achieve at least an A in either Mathematics or Economics no matter what their current level is and have not yet been proven wrong! I have had students that were on D grades after their January mock exams that have come to me and subsequently achieved A* grades in their final exams the same year. I am fully confident in my ability to deliver top results for my students.

Currently available on weekends and weekday evenings, specialising in Economics A-level (Edexcel, OCR, AQA, WJEC, ICAAE, CIE), Mathematics A- level (Edexcel, OCR, OCR MEI, AQA) and GCSE Mathematics. I also offer tuition services to University students reading Economics as well as personal statement help for those applying to university.

Tutoring Experience

TEACHING

Over the past 10 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching, tutoring, and organising crash courses for independent schools, academies, and small student groups. Presently, I oversee the A-level Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Economics courses as the Head of Department at a private school in Hampstead. Additionally, I tutor more than 30 students weekly, either privately or in group sessions.

RESULTS

Every student I've tutored has either met or exceeded their predicted grades, achieving A or A* at A-level and grades 8 or 9 at GCSE in the subjects I've tutored them in. I have a passion for teaching and helping my students get the highest grade they can.

MY STUDENTS

GCSE/A-level Students: My students usually come from a mix of different types of schools, some from state , some from grammar and some from independent schools. Listed are some of the schools that my students attend/have attended:

• Queen Elizabeth's School, The Henrietta Barnett School, The Tiffin Girl's School, Uppingham School, Dulwich College, King Edward's Witley, Bancroft's School, the Lycée, Eton College, Millfield, St Paul's School, Westminster School, City of London School, Fortismere School, St Michael's Grammar, Highgate School, The Latymer School, North London Collegiate School, Mill Hill School, King's College School, Dame Alice Owen's School, Sevenoaks and some more.

University students:

• My university students mostly come from The London School of Economics and University College London, this is because I am most familiar with the Economics course structure/programme at these universities as well as the exam format. However, sometimes I do work with students from other universities.

In addition to these, I have a proven track record of effectively tutoring students with specific learning needs, such as dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, and other learning differences, tailoring my approach to best cater to each individual's unique requirements.

TYPE OF TUITION

I provide tuition both in-person and online:

• Face-to-face Tuition: All in-person sessions are conducted at my residence in Marylebone, London.
• Online Tuition: For digital sessions, I utilise my MacBooks and a virtual whiteboard to effectively explain concepts and make the learning process interactive.

Tutoring Approach

The advantage of tutoring over being taught in a class is that the tutor is able to tailor work according to the student's ability and attainment. Typically students have gaps in their knowledge which are holding them back from progressing. I will fill in these gaps in knowledge, take my student through the syllabus and allow them to achieve the highest grade that is possible for them. I am 100% confident in my tutoring abilities and believe I can help anyone achieve the highest grade they can if they are willing.

Having tutored for such a long time and liaising frequently with examiners, I am proficient in how different exam boards allocate marks (this is especially important for Economics) and know how to maximise my students' essay writing skills to gain the maximum marks possible.
