Tutor Profile

Hishaam

Maths tutor. 7 years experience. All abilities

I'm a Mathematics and Finance graduate from the University of York, where I achieved a First. I achieved AAA at A-Level and have over seven years of experience working as a private tutor.

I specialise in GCSE Mathematics, teaching both Foundation and Higher tiers. I offer online lessons as well as face-to-face tuition in the Leeds area. My aim is to make Maths more accessible and enjoyable while helping students achieve the grades they're capable of.

Teaching Experience

I have been tutoring Mathematics since 2019, working with over 50 students across GCSE and A-Level. My experience includes teaching at a tuition centre and providing private one-to-one lessons, both online and in person.

I've worked with students of varying abilities, from those struggling to achieve a passing grade to high achieving students targeting grades 8 and 9. I've supported students preparing for examinations across different exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Edexcel International GCSE.

Tutoring Approach

I believe effective tutoring begins with understanding how each student learns and identifying the areas where they need the most support.

My lessons are structured around clear explanations, worked examples and independent practice. I break down difficult mathematical concepts into manageable steps, ensuring students understand the reasoning behind each method rather than simply memorising formulas.

I regularly incorporate exam style questions and past papers to develop problem solving skills, improve exam technique and build familiarity with GCSE exams.

I also encourage students to ask questions freely and learn from their mistakes. My teaching style is patient, supportive and adaptable, with an emphasis on building confidence and gradually developing the independence needed to succeed in exams.
