Information about Furqan

I hold a PhD in Engineering from Imperial College London and have over 8 years of experience teaching and preparing GCSE and A-Level students for their exams (please see the feedback from some of my students below). I regularly teach Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Electronics. I have a comprehensive knowledge of the curriculum followed by all major exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Cambridge.

I am a Chartered Electrical/Electronic Engineer working in Cheshire. I have an MSc and PhD in Control Engineering from Imperial College London (one of the top 5 Science/Engineering Universities in the World). I stood first in the entire MSc cohort and was awarded the Hertha Ayrton Prize for producing the best MSc project of the academic year. Furthermore, I obtained a Distinction in my undergraduate degree (BS. Electronic Engineering).

I have won numerous prestigious scholarships and awards including:

1) International Scholarship (Imperial College London).
2) Rector`s Award (Imperial College London).
3) Clarendon Scholarship (University of Oxford).
4) Christ Church College Award (University of Oxford).
5) FDP scholarship (MSc).
6) Dean`s Honour Roll (BS. Electronic Engineering).
7) Highest Distinction during the final year of Undergraduate degree.
8) Merit Scholarship throughout school.


Regarding my tutoring approach:

Initially, I evaluate the student by identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Then, I follow a study program which is tailored to their individual needs and is focused upon turning their weaknesses into strengths.
I generally go through the core concepts and keep the students engaged by asking questions and testing their understanding (through quizzes and mock exams) in a formative manner. In addition, I place great emphasis on extensively practicing the past exam papers to ensure that students feel confident when they go into their own exams.

I believe that all students have the potential to learn. It is just a matter of inculcating confidence and motivation in the student. The tutee needs to be motivated to study the subject, not only for the sake of obtaining good grades but also for gaining and applying this knowledge. I like to highlight the importance of the particular study topic with real-life examples and uses. I find that relating the theory to the real-world generates student interest and helps in understanding new concepts.

Furqan is very reliable and keeps in contact with you before lessons which is a great help. Furqan has helped me a great deal with my A-Level maths, specifically with statistics. He is very clear when explaining concepts and which means we can cover a topic very quickly. He comes prepared with question worksheets which is great as it saves time trying to look for questions during the lesson and allows you to have a go first instead of just telling you how to do them which I feel has been of great help. Thank you very much Furqan for allowing me to be more confident with my maths ability!

Furqan has been teaching my son in maths, physics and chemistry for a couple of months to prepare him for his GCSEs next year. He is reliable and accommodating if we need to change days. He is patient and works at a pace to suit. He can also be challenging in the subject matter which my son likes as it is stretching him. We have noticed a marked improvement in his confidence and ability. I would definitely recommend Furqan to others.

Furqan has been a tremendous help in my AS year, allowing me to further my understanding of the chemistry syllabus. Particularly the calculations section of the course, allowing me to understand the fundamental parts of the subject even better. He also gave me a number of helpful tips to answer those more difficult questions.

I am very happy to recommend him to other students.

Furqan has been tutoring my son for two months now, and we are very happy with the results. My son`s maths grades have steadily improved due to the quality of Furqan`s teaching. My son is now more confident in maths, but is also more confident in his other subjects, due to now having a better understanding of exam technique in general.

Furqan is reliable, flexible, professional, and above all very good at what he does. I am very happy with Furqan and would highly recommend him to other parents wanting extra schooling for their children.

Furquan has been tutoring IGCSE maths to my son who is in Year 11 for several months now. He has clarified topics which my son found more difficult and and my son finds his lessons very engaging. He is thorough, personable and reliable, yet is flexible should the need arise.

Furqan has been helping me with my A level Chemistry and Physics. He has really helped build my confidence and I feel I have gained a lot from our lessons. Sometimes at college teachers can rush through things and without you really understanding they move onto another topic, Furqan has been able to explain everything to me in a much more simple way and I have been able to apply these methods to my studies in college. He has an amazing amount of knowledge and you can tell these are subjects he really enjoys as it comes across in his teaching. He is a real genuine nice person and I would definitely recommend him.

Furqan is a great tutor who has been tutoring for only a few months but has already made a massive difference to my grade. I recommend him to anyone who is struggling in Maths and who is wanting to understand it better and quicker.

I have been tutored by Mr. Furqan for just over a year now, and I have to say that he is a brilliant tutor. His methods of teaching and putting the work across really makes electronics easy to understand. In class, I found basic concepts hard to grasp however with Mr. Furqan, I was soon able to understand where I was going wrong. He is clam, patient and will keep going over a concept no matter how long it takes you to understand it.

Would greatly recommend Mr. Furqan to any student that struggles with electronics at university level.

Furqan is a very reliable and dedicated tutor. He inspires confidence is his students and is very patient. I have found my understanding of the more difficult topics has much improved since having him as a tutor.
I would recommend him to other students if they wish to see improvement in their maths.

Mr. Furqan has been an excellent tutor. His tuition in mathematics and electrical control engineering (undergraduate level) have moved me from being less able in these subjects to capable and adept. His courses were highly structured to my needs: Weaknesses were tackled along the way such that nearer the exam, I was much more confident in my abilities and my reasoning skills were more accurate.

I wish Mr. Furqan all the best.

For the past 4 months, I have been tutored by Furqan who has been helping me with my studies in A-level maths.
Furqan`s style of teaching very friendly and tailored to my own needs. He has been of great help in the past few months improving my confidence and my understanding in maths.
I would highly recommend Furqan who has become a great friend to me. If you are looking for a tutor that is friendly, polite, extremely patient, and fun.. Furqan is the perfect tutor.
