Physics and Mathematics tutorials: A-level and GCSE
course price icon
From 26 £ /h

Physics and Maths are tricky yet fascinating subjects. To understand them you need to “connect all the dots” which can be done by recalling your knowledge frequently and answering questions to apply the knowledge.
In my classes we will do exactly that. I will make sure that you deeply understand the topics we will cover, we will use many websites for physics and maths questions and will potentially change the way you view these subjects(“If you don’t get it you hate it and if you get it you love it” - kind of basis)
The level I teach is GCSE and A-level(but I know a bit more from physics specifically)
Extra information
I would prefer it if the lessons took place online but if you leave in/close to hackney, london, then I do not mind travelling

About Me
I am an ambitious and passionate Physics and Maths student and am currently studying at a sixth form(year 13) Starting next year, I have received an offer on MPhys(Hons) Physics at the University of Manchester.

Patience and getting on well with people are my strengths.
Seeking opportunities in order to secure and expand my knowledge while helping others(teaching) is also one of my passions. I enjoy seeing students progress in a subject I love, especially if I am a part of it.

Active recall and Exam question practice are the best techniques in my opinion hence I tutor my mentees by going over questions from topics of their choice and subsequently explain any mistakes made(I am also willing to change my methods based on the mentees' preference)
Education
My highest completed level of education is GCSEs and I am currently studying A-levels(Mathematics(A*), Physics(A*), Computer Science(A*)) and have been teaching myself AS Further Mathematics(on track to receive an A).
I have also completed the compulsory education in slovakia(did the last 3 years while living in england)
Experience / Qualifications
I have been tutoring my friends, classmates and also younger students for over two years. I have only ever received positive feedback from them.

I achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities.

On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well!

I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful.

Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson.

In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them.

During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.

Hey there! I’m Maaz, a passionate and dedicated maths tutor who genuinely enjoys helping students feel more confident with mathematics.

Maths was always one of the subjects I enjoyed most because I liked the logic behind it — once you understand the steps, even difficult questions start to feel manageable. That is the same feeling I try to give my students. I know maths can sometimes feel stressful or confusing, especially when topics move too quickly in class, so my aim is to slow things down, explain concepts clearly, and make sure the student feels comfortable asking questions.
I specialise in helping students with topics such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, problem-solving, and exam preparation. My teaching style is patient, friendly, and personalised to each student’s level. I do not believe in simply rushing through questions; I focus on helping students understand the “why” behind each method so they can apply it confidently in exams.

What makes my lessons personal is that I try to understand each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Some students need help with basics, some need exam technique, and others simply need confidence. I adapt each session accordingly and create a supportive space where mistakes are treated as part of learning.
Whether you are struggling with maths, aiming for higher grades, or just want someone to guide you step by step, I would be happy to help. Let’s work together to make maths simpler, clearer, and more enjoyable. I look forward to supporting you on your learning journey!
