Teaching Experience

I have many years of experience teaching students of different ages, abilities and backgrounds havubg taufht students in UK, China, HK and the Middle East.

I have supported students preparing for GCSE and IGCSE examinations across a variety of exam boards, including AQA, WJEC, OCR and Edexcel. My work includes teaching new content, improving exam technique, marking written responses, identifying weaknesses and creating personalised resources for each learner.

I have worked with high-achieving students aiming for the top grades, as well as students who lack confidence, have fallen behind or need concepts explained in a much clearer and simpler way. I am also experienced in helping students with comprehension, creative writing, essay structure, mathematical problem-solving and revision planning.

Tutoring Approach

Students will normally expect to see grade improvements after just a few sessions. The long term goal is to teach the student to take self responsibility and creating a positive winner's mentality.

My approach is personal, structured and encouraging. I take time to understand how each student thinks, where they are struggling and what will help them progress. I explain difficult ideas in a clear, step-by-step manner and make sure students truly understand a topic rather than simply memorising answers.

Lessons are engaging and interactive, with plenty of questioning, discussion and exam practice. I aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and developing confidence. At the same time, I am honest about areas that need improvement and provide clear targets so that every lesson leads to genuine progress.

More than excellent - exceptional. Rakib’s manner and method of teaching are truly outstanding. He has a clever way of instilling concepts so that the subject grows within. He gets so much out of my son who comes out of every lesson so positive and now enjoying English gcse after only a few sessions. His confidence has grown - even his handwriting is bigger. Rakib is astute, organised, flexible, polite and so driven to unlock his students potential. It’s no wonder he’s the highest rated - he is the best. So pleased we found him.

Rakib tutored me in maths in my gcse year. Rakib is patient and understanding. He is able to explain even the most complicated maths formulas in a relatable way giving me the confidence to work through them myself. Since being tutored by Rakib I went up 3 grades to an A . I would totally recommend Rakib to any student. Thank you - Oscar

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the exceptional job Rakib is doing as a maths tutor for my children. His ability to explain complex mathematical concepts in an understandable manner is commendable. The ample amount of practice problems he providess has been instrumental in reinforcing these concepts. He is always punctual, and professionalism have not gone unnoticed and are highly appreciated. The individual attention he provides to each of my children ensures that their unique learning needs are met. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We look forward to continuing this fruitful association. Regards, Kirthee.
