Amr

Hi! My name is Amr, I am a qualified lecturer with and holds PhD and MSc in Pharmaceutical Scinces and Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). I have over 20 years of teaching experience in Science and Mathematics.

I am passionate about helping students develop confidence, deepen their understanding, and achieve their academic goals. Throughout my career, I have taught and supported students across a wide range of levels, from KS3, GCSE and A-Level.

My approach focuses on building strong foundations, improving problem-solving skills, and developing effective exam techniques. I believe that every student can succeed when given the right support, encouragement, and learning strategies.

Over the years, I have helped many students significantly improve their grades, gain confidence in challenging subjects, and secure places at their preferred schools, colleges, and universities.

In 2024 65% of my students achieved grades 7-9 in GCSE Maths and Sciences. In 2025 some of my students joined Medicine, Engineering and Law.

Subjects Offered • GCSE Maths • GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics • Combined Science • A-Level Maths • A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics • Small Group and One-to-One Tuition • Online and In-Person Lessons (subject to location)

Teaching Experience

I am an experienced and passionate Maths and Science Tutor with extensive teaching experience across all three sciences - Biology, Chemistry, and Physics - including Combined Science at both GCSE and A-Level. Over the years, I have successfully taught students from a wide range of academic backgrounds and abilities, helping them build confidence, strengthen their scientific understanding, and achieve excellent examination results.

I am fully familiar with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, which allows me to tailor lessons specifically to the requirements, assessment styles, and mark schemes of each specification. My teaching approach combines strong subject knowledge with exam-focused techniques, ensuring students not only understand the content but also know how to apply their knowledge effectively in examinations.

I have a strong track record of student achievement, with many students improving by at least two grades after working with me. One of my most rewarding success stories involved students who were initially predicted grades 3-3 in Combined Science and went on to achieve grades 7-6 in their final GCSE examinations. Over the years, my A level students have progressed into fields such as Medicine, Dentistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Psychology.

I take pride in identifying individual learning needs, breaking down complex scientific concepts into simple and engaging explanations, and creating a supportive learning environment that motivates students to reach their full potential.

In addition to improving academic performance, I focus on developing students' confidence, independent learning skills, and exam technique. My lessons are structured, interactive, and adapted to each student's pace and goals, whether they are aiming to pass, secure top grades, or prepare for progression into A-Level studies, university, or healthcare-related careers.

Tutoring Approach

I take an interactive and structured approach to tutoring, starting with what the student already knows and building from there. My lessons are discussion-based rather than passive, encouraging active participation.

To ensure engagement, I incorporate practice questions to help apply concepts effectively. I also use visual aids and real-world examples to keep lessons dynamic and relatable.

My lessons are bespoke to each student and tailored to what they are covering at school, which helps boost engagement in the classroom and build confidence, especially when teachers recognise their progress through improved assessment grades.

Quality tutor and will ensure great results. Very pleased!

AnaFirst Tutors

We couldn't be happier with Amr. Over the past few weeks, he has worked with our 11-year-old, and the improvement has been incredible. He makes math and physics engaging and easy to understand. Our child now looks forward to tutoring sessions and has gained so much confidence in solving problems independently. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a supportive and skilled tutor who truly understands how to teach young learners. Thank you so much for making such a positive impact!

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! It’s been an absolute pleasure working with your daughter—watching her confidence grow and seeing her enjoy learning is incredibly rewarding. I’m so glad to hear she is looking forward to our sessions and I’m proud of her progress and commitment. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation!

MDCFirst Tutors

Amr is a reliable, knowledgeable and supportive tutor. My son is in year 10 and his attitude towards Science has improved significantly. His Science teachers at school are impressed. My son got 3 rewards for Science in one week. This shows how Amr is capable of inspiring students to achieve their potential. Thank you Amr!

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s been a pleasure working with your son and seeing his confidence in Science grow. Well done to him for securing 8-9 in his year 10 science mocks! His dedication and hard work are truly paying off, and I’m so proud of his achievements. I’m glad to have played a part in his journey, and I look forward to supporting him even further. Thanks again for your trust and support!

PeterFirst Tutors

A big thank you Amr, you did a great job, in helping Matthew to achieve grades 8 for all 3 sciences from 6s in his mock, you gave him the extra motivation, knowledge, handling exam questions/pressure…you gave him that extra push & confidence that he needed. Your help in such short time is very much appreciated.

Tutor response

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with Matthew and well done to him in securing A* (8s) in the three sciences at GCSE. I am really pleased with his achievement!

AngelineFirst Tutors

Amr is like gold dust and this review will not do justice to the progress he is making with two of my clients. I work as an occupational therapist and Amr is supporting two of my GCSE students who sustained a significant brain injury. he has been teaching triples sciences as well as Maths. Amr has been working with my clients and parents working flexibly, increasing his support at critical times. He has had to put in place strategies to help my clients to embed the information and increase their confidence and time to master each module. He has also been providing me with very helpful feedback on their progress along the way. I cannot thank Amr enough and highly recommend him as a tutor . I hope to have him support both of my clients through their A levels as well

Tutor response

Thanks very much Angeline for all your kind words. I hope both the students do well in their coming GCSE exams and I am really happy to see them more confident and engaged in their learning!

DanaFirst Tutors

Amr is our son's math tutor. During the first session, Amr was able to identify our son's weaknesses and has since been exceptionally patient and helpful, particularly considering our son's ADHD condition. Furthermore, Amr consistently provides additional homework and math games after each session, which have significantly contributed to our son's progress in math.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me to know that I've made a positive impact on your son's education.

KevinFirst Tutors

Amr is a great asset to our daughter's school work and confidence. Amr started with Mathematics but his additional knowledge of the sciences has been invaluable. His flexibility and breadth has proven to be far more beneficial than our initial requirements/thoughts. Especially at exam time!!! Amr clearly has a very impressive CV, but he also is very patient and applies the right approach and amount of pressure when needed. The lessons are appreciated and compelling. Despite being counterintuitive, I would strongly recommend Amr as a tutor … which we have done with our friends.

Tutor response

Thanks Kevin for your kind words. I am pleased to see your daughter progressing and achieving great grades in her IB assessment. Also thanks for always recommending me to your friends.

RachelFirst Tutors

Amr has been of great benefit to my daughter. She needed some help with Biology A-level and he has gone over the Year 12 syllabus with her thoroughly and patiently, setting work each week to make sure she has understood it. Her marks have greatly improved, increasing her options for her UCAS form. He is always punctual and responds quickly and cooperatively to messages. Highly recommend!

Tutor response

Thanks for the feedback Rachel and I am pleased that your daughter achieved A* in her mock paper 1 Biology.

TaraFirst Tutors

Excellent communication from the start. Always on time. My daughter is really learning from Amr’s tuition and has definitely helped with her recent exams by providing past exam papers and providing feedback and assistance with the answers. Really pleased that we found him.

Tutor response

Thanks Tara for the feedback. I wish Olivia all the best with her AS results and I am confident she will do well in her A level Chemistry next year.

AbdiFirst Tutors

Amr has been very helpful in bringing my son's confidence back to a level where he feels that he can take on teh subjects he doing. a few eeeks ago, my son was feeling very low, even though he was receiving online tuition and the face to face sessions with Amr have helped him to get up to speed and learn what he needed for the exam. Amr is very knowledgeable, helpful, easy to communicate and excellent at keeping his promises and would highly recommend him.

Tutor response

Thanks very much Abdi for your positive feeback. I wish Mubarak all the best with his AS results. He is a bright boy and he is working hard in both Chemistry and Biology. I look forward to continuing working with him in his A2.

jaredFirst Tutors

Tutor response

Dear Jared Thanks for your feedback and positive comments. It is always a pleasure to work with your two sons and daughter. I wish the boys all the best with their GCSE exams this year.

SophieFirst Tutors

Amr is tutoring my Year 11 daughter for her Physics and Chemistry GCSEs. He is very kind and patient and plans each session meticulously. She finds him really easy to understand and has already gained a lot in only 3 sessions. I'm sure his help will make sure she gets the grades she needs and deserves this summer. I would highly recommend him.

Tutor response

Thanks Sophie for the positive comments. Anaïs is a bright and committed girl and I am pleased that she scored 8 in her 3 Sciences. It was always a pleasure to teach her.
