Information about Karim

Mathematics specialist tutor, Bsc Hons degree from a Russell Group University (currently teaching 11-18 in an academy). I have over 20 years of tutoring experience with students across the age and ability spectrum. I am a supportive and experienced mathematics tutor with excellent communication skills, familiar with the areas of mathematics generally found to be most complex and challenging, and able to communicate them in an understandable manner. Keen to help prepare for all levels from GSCE New Syllabus 9-1, A-Level (New Syllabus as well old), Further Maths (new syllabus as well as legacy), STEP/MAT and 11+ entrance exams. ( DBS/CRB certificate as new as 2017 March)

In the first year (June 2017 summer exams) of GCSE Maths Higher Tier 9-1 exams
All of my 7 tutees attained grades 7-9 (Majority 8 & 9) All attained 1 grade higher than school target grades.

`through clear and concise explanations, and unrivalled passion for the subject, Mr Karim was the best maths teacher I could have hoped for. Not only helping me reach my full potential, but also helping me realise my own interest in the subject.Above all else, his encouragement gave me the confidence to apply to Oxford and (with lots of his support) ultimately gain a place. Now in the fourth year of my degree, Mr Karim`s work ethic stays with me and I am still grateful for all the extra time he devoted in teaching me." Ian, Fourth year maths student- Balliol College, Oxford


I have extensive tuition experience. Confidently say that I have tutored many students, over many years, and I am happy to provide testimonials of parents and students . (Further testimonials found in fb) .I am proud to say that my students reach their personal targets, all the way from A* grades (8 and 9 for the new GCSE), to entry into prestigious UK universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) and some have been so inspired they decided to take maths at degree level! I have also built up a vast amount of teaching resources for all levels and I cover every syllabus.


Whether its finding a creative method to boost the confidence of a Key Stage 2 child or preparing for A Level maths (or further), I can be of help. Every student is different and responds to different tuition styles. I have great interpersonal skills and therefore lots of success at getting the best out of my students.
I create an environment where the student is relaxed and confident and see my tuition as part of an overall support structure with a parent and school. As such I have constant dialogue with parents to ensure we are on track. I also set work to be completed outside of sessions to reinforce what we have covered.
As well as covering all theory, we would work on many examples and exam technique. I ensure competency and confidence before moving from one topic to the next.

WHAT THE STUDENTS SAID ABOUT MY HELP : (TESTIMONIALS) t

"Before I started tutoring, I lacked confidence in Maths. He patiently taught me with clear easy to understand explanations which meant I made great progress in my school very quickly. I got moved up to set 1 and now feel thoroughly prepared for the new 9-1 Gcse. I would thoroughly recommend him." Aqil

"He explains topics so clearly and shows you how they link in exams. Improved my confidence and enjoyment of the subject.His passion for the subject is inspiring and makes you try harder. I have made progress in assessments as I know what is required now. If you work hard and get him as a tutor then you will no doubt make tremendous progress in Maths." Mark

I started IGCSE in year 10 with him. He helped me understand topics by breaking them down simply. Pretty soon I was ahead in lessons and did very well
In tests and end of year exam.I have become a resilient learner and enjoy problem solving with my tutor`s help. I am aiming A* in this exam. He expertly helps me tackle difficult topics as we work through past papers. I feel thoroughly confident with the syllabus. I would gladly refer to others." zaki

"I have made so much progress since I started working with him. He helped me plug my gaps and now I see the subject as a whole and I am on good position for upcoming exams for the new 9-1 GCSE."

My son currently has lessons with Karim to help towards his GCSE Maths. Its my son`s least favourite subject but Karim is a great tutor, patient and calm. My son`s confidence in Maths has grown considerably since attending lessons with him and he never complains about going. I highly recommend Karim to other parents.
