I care deeply about teaching and learning in general and the teaching of mathematics is a particular passion for me. I help students gain confidence in their own mathematical ability when they have been convinced by the academic system that they are incapable of doing well in the subject. I can also help higher attaining students to challenge themselves and aspire to become even better. I normally offer sessions online now. I am able to travel a limited distance for in-person sessions but there is an extra charge for this. My first session is provided free of charge and I use this session to understand the needs of prospective pupils. At the end of the session, I have a frank and honest discussion with the pupil and/or their guardians. I use these conversations to listen to the concerns of the pupils and/or their guardians and present an outline of my assessment of the student's areas of strengths and weaknesses. I also suggest a course of action to help the pupil move forward. During the last two decades I have worked with many hundreds of students and have read research studies from academics around the world on the subject of attainment in mathematics. My own experience is in keeping with all the studies I have read about this topic. The overwhelming majority of students can do well in mathematics provided they have the confidence, the techniques and willingness to work hard. Even after only six to eight weeks of tuition, all the students I have tutored have improved by at least one grade or one level. I tell all prospective pupils there is no magic bullet or shortcut. To achieve success in mathematics a few things are key: understanding the concept well; understanding when and how to apply it in different situations; lots of practice in applying it in different scenarios and short, regular revision sessions. So my only pre-conditions before I agree to work with any student are: a positive attitude; a commitment to put in the time and effort required to bring about the improvement in their grades; and at least one ninety minute session every week. It is important to me that students should enjoy mathematics and look forward to their sessions with me. To ensure this I use a variety of different resources to explain concepts to students and am a firm believer in using physical and computer based study tools and aides to complement the standard oral and written tools used to teach mathematics. I also believe in linking the mathematics that we study to the real world to increase students' engagement with the topic and their understanding of its relevance. I am very patient and empathetic to my student's needs and once they develop in confidence I encourage all my students to challenge themselves regularly.

Perfect! Farooq is an excellent tutor. He gave a very clear maths lesson on Factoring to my 14-year old son, helping Luke. Farooq encouraged Luke to learn by doing, setting challenging problems and helping Luke to practice the best way of solving each one.
- Luke was attentive, diligent and eager to learn. He was a pleasure to work with.Farooq's response :
Perfect! Farooq has been an excellent tutor, and has helped my son tremendously with A-level Maths.

This means the child develops a strong foundational understanding and is learning from their mistakes. Most importantly, our child enjoys the lessons with Farooq (unlike with his parents) and is motivated to attend the next one!
- Ario is an enthusiastic and inquisitive student, never just interested in how to solve a question. He always wants to know the why to better understand the underlying mathematical principles. Ario is polite, hardworking and determined. In short he is a fantastic student.Farooq's response :
Perfect! We sought Farooq’s help since our son ( Year 8 in a British International school ) was struggling with maths, and his performance had declined further during this year of the pandemic. Farooq has worked with him over the past year and made tremendous impact. He is an excellent teacher, who walks the perfect balance of being caring and patient with his students, while pushing them to do more and building their skills through a mix of classes and constant stream of home work. Our Son has gained confidence, strengthened his basics and always looks forward to his sessions with Farooq. In his last assessment at school, he scored a solid ‘B’ and is now determined to convert that to an ‘A’ in the next semester. With Farooq’s help, we have no doubt he will get there too. Highly recommend Farooq, as one of the best teachers out there and as someone who holds a real passion for his subject. If you considering working with him, don’t forget to ask him about his back story on why he got so interested in maths. It really inspired us and it also helps explain why and how he shows such great care and commitment to his students. Recommend him 100%.
- It was a pleasure to teach Abir. He was polite, attentive and keen to learn. He paid attention to explanations and was willing to try questions on his own. He asked questions when needed and was willing to try difficult questions on his own.Farooq's response :
Perfect! Farooq cares about the progress of my son and always ensure that he completely understands the Maths topics at hand. My son had fallen back on his grades and now is very confident to do well at his GCSE.
Farooq has been seriously brilliant working with him - you can see by the way he approaches the subject. Thanks for making my son enjoy doing Maths again!- It was a pleasure working Andre. He was attentive and focused throughout the lesson and happy to ask when he did not understand something. He did all the work I asked and was happy to listen to and act upon feedback.Farooq's response :
Perfect! Farooq provided the underpinning knowledge that I have been wishing for. Step by step to help understand the topic and for the first time ever, maths seems achievable to me. An excellent teacher, which I look forward to working with. Thank you!

Farooq tutored both my son for A level and my daughter for CCSE maths. We tried a few tutors before settling on Farooq. Although Farooq was quite a hard task master in terms of the actual tutor sessions and follow up work, both of our children made great strides forward in maths and never complained when it was Farooq day, even though some sessions were an hour and a half. Farooq really knows his stuff and concentrates not just on the technical, but also on the practical in terms of scoring the absolute best mark in an exam scenario. It also helped that Farooq himself is a super-nice guy. He was always punctual and extremely professional. I have no hesitation recommending Farooq; you will not be disappointed.
Farooq is an excellent tutor. He is thorough and encouraging. He helped my son get a 9 in GCSE Maths and an A* at A level. He has also been a mentor and role model.
Farooq was my daughters maths tutor in her secondary school for a few years and she really connected with him. Under his tutelage she went from seriously disliking maths to really enjoying maths. When he left her secondary school I employed him as a 1:1 tutor to support her through her GCSE year. She achieved a fantastic grade (which we never would have expected previously). I 100% believe this was due to Farooqs teaching and support. I fully recommend.
I was Mr Farooq’s student for a couple of month and I couldn’t find any one better than him. He was kind and understanding. But also explained to me all the topics that I didn’t understand. Mr Farooq helped me get from a grade 3 to a grade 7 in maths and I was very happy. He is a tutor that will believe in you. And won’t give up on you. I definitely recommend him u won’t regret it at all. Thank you Mr Farooq for everything.
Farooq has been tutoring my daughters for the last few years with excellent results! They are now in the top sets in their class and my eldest is acing her mock SATS and 11+ papers. My girls generally shy away from home work and studies. Farooq, makes learning engaging and fun so much so that my daughters actually look forward to their sessions with him. I would highly recommend Farooq!
Farouk is a very dedicated, highly competent maths teacher. I would strongly recommend him for your child.
We found Farouk when my son, Will was preparing for the 13 plus entrance exam. I was in a panicked situation as Will was getting around 45% in maths when it was only a few months away from the exam.
After the first meeting with Farouk, I immediately felt very assured that my son was in good hands. My son also gained confidence very quickly and he was very comfortable with his teaching style. Throughout his middle school period, I kept Farouk to tutor Will and he has maintained as a top maths student and received grade 9 in this year’s GCSE result.
Sarah (mum)Farooq was my daughters Maths Tutor for about one year. He taught her in our house for 1 hour 45 minutes once a week. As it got nearer to GCSE exams he Tutored her twice a week. He was professional, always on time, very flexible and inspiring.
He structured the lesson to get the best use of time. He regularly assessed my daughters progress and provided appropriate homework to get her to keep developing her skills.
My daughter did very well in her GCSE exams. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a dedicated and professional Tutor.
Mr Farooq Ahmed tutored my son when we came for summer vacations to UK from Qatar. He came recommended to us from other Qatari families who had visited UK and had children either preparing or resitting for Cambridge or Edexcel examinations.
My son's was very uncertain initially, but with in 1 session, he was quite certain he wanted to continue with Mr. Farooq. He spent almost an entire summer with him, going through IGCSE Mathematics. My son secured an A* after Mr. Farooq' s help, when he was previously on about a C.
We are very grateful for Mr. Farooqs help and dedication. My son couldn't have done it without him.View more recommendations
