Information about Ruksana

I am an experienced qualified teacher and have been the head of the maths department that I currently work at in a leading sixth form college. I started tutoring when I stepped down as course leader and now regularly tutor students in addition to my work as a part time maths teacher.

Availability: Please contact me directly to discuss availability. I prefer to have most of my lessons online and as long as the student has a tablet and a stylus, online lessons work extremely well.
Face to face lessons can be delivered at my home or if you live locally I can travel to you for an extra charge per lesson.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been teaching in a sixth form college for the past 17 years. My main expertise is raising attainment for A level Maths but I also offer help for the following:

High school students studying for GCSE Maths or level 2 Further Maths.

Sixth form students who are retaking their GCSE in Maths.

Prospective A level students who require some preparatory work before starting on an A level Maths course.

I have a track record of excellent results in GCSE, A level and Core Maths. I am also an examiner for Edexcel for A level Mathematics and I know where students are likely to lose marks and how to increase their grades by improving their exam technique and by building their confidence.

Sessions will be 60 mins, 1 to 1 online. The first session is usually having a chat about what you want out of the sessions, explain the tech and set an initial schedule. In that first session I usually do a little assessment on what the student can do right now and that helps me to plan for future sessions on how I can move you up to the level you want to be at.

Typically, a session will involve a combination of:
-you completing some questions to assess for strengths and area that require focus. We will do this on an online whiteboard software so that I can watch, comment and annotate as you go along.

-you send me some work prior to the online lesson and we go over this in our session.

-Me modelling specific questions on the online whiteboard, then you trying.

My support is not just limited to the one hour lesson and students should feel they can ask questions in between sessions and I will do my best to answer as quickly as possible. This is all part of the service.


For Parents: I want you to feel confident that the support is working and encourage you to keep in touch and offer suggestions and advice on how to get the best for your child. I will probably have a chat with you every couple of months to give you an update on how lessons are going.

DBS Check: Yes

Ruksana, is an amazing tutor - she taught A-Levels maths to my son who had not achieved his grade for maths during Covid and was resitting. The 1to1 style that Ruksana has works!, She put my son at ease but at the same time made him focus in each and every session to maximise the potential of getting the most out of each session. If something was hard to grasp Ruksana had many ways to tackle the same problem and concept so my son fully understood, and then she would set homework and extra papers to reinforce the concept. Ruksana was available outside of lessons to go through questions where he was struggling and even though she also teaches in a college setting made time when she could to respond at the earliest. Coming closer to the final exams Ruksana set aside extra time and sessions to revisit difficult topics and reinforce good exam techniques. With all her effort my son pulled his final grade in his resit up by 3 whole grade boundaries. In his own words "If I didn`t have Ruksana, I would not have been able to do this",

Tutors Response :

Thank you for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure teaching your son as he is a lovely young man! I’m sure he will have a very bright future.

So amazing. This was last minute stress relieving tutoring prior to my daughter`s last maths A`level paper. Ms Ruksana put my daughter at ease, gave her suitable material to work through and provided her with reassurance to get through her last exam.

Tutors Response :

I’m so glad I could ease her worries in that crucial stage. I’m sure she has done fab!

My daughter has increased in confidence with Ms Ruksana. She has improved in maths with only a few lessons. Highly recommend this tutor

Tutors Response :

Fareha was a hardworking student who did all the extra work I set her. Her grade A in A level Maths was well deserved.
