A-Level Mathematics Tuition
A-Level Mathematics Tuition
Every single A-Level Mathematics student I have tutored has achieved an A or A*. Not most. All.
I'm passionate about my work. Every student is a project in their own right, and my job is to maximise three things: their grade, their belief in themselves, and their interest in the subject. Whether it's a rapid turnaround before exams, ongoing support across the whole course, or complete course delivery, I take real pride in delivering excellence to every student I take on.
I'm Mehdi Naqvi, regarded as one of the UK's leading A-Level & IB Mathematics tutors. My understanding of mathematics runs deep: I taught myself GCSE Maths at thirteen and A-Level Maths at fifteen, both two years early, achieving an A* in both (a grade 9 in today's GCSE format). I know the subject inside out. I love it, and my students catch that enthusiasm. Because maths comes naturally to me, I know every shortcut and the most efficient route through every exam: not just what to learn, but exactly what earns marks. UCL Economics graduate (First Class Honours), former Head of Economics and Further Mathematics at a leading London sixth-form college, with 12+ years of tutoring experience. I teach online, working with students from all backgrounds and all schools: from state schools to Eton, Harrow, Westminster, St Paul's, Sevenoaks and top schools worldwide.

My tutoring approach
I'm passionate about my work. Every student is a project in their own right, and my job is to maximise three things: their grade, their belief in themselves, and their interest in the subject. Whether it's a rapid turnaround before exams, ongoing support across the course, or complete delivery of the syllabus from scratch, I take real pride in delivering excellence to every student I take on. My approach rests on four pillars:
Identifying & Filling Gaps
A-Level Maths is built layer on layer: one shaky foundation quietly caps everything above it. Every student begins with a careful diagnosis, drawing on school reports, past papers and my own assessment, to find precisely which topics and which skills are costing marks. Then we rebuild them in the right order, with weekly personalised homework, addressing first the topics where the most marks are to be gained.
Syllabus Mastery & Exam Technique
In Maths, recognising a method is not the same as executing it quickly and accurately under pressure. I train fluency, not just familiarity: efficient methods, full working that protects method marks, and the problem selection skills the A* questions demand. Formally trained in marking, I teach students exactly what earns marks, and we refine it all through past papers and timed practice under real conditions.
Building Belief
"I'm not a maths person" is the most expensive sentence in education, and it's almost never true. With training in performance psychology and coaching, I work deliberately on how students see themselves. Interest in the subject returns, confidence grows with every success, and students begin raising their own expectations of what is possible.
Structure & Accountability
I build each student's revision timetable and homework schedule around their school term, review progress every week, and keep the end goal clearly in sight: the grade, the university place, and the standard they are truly capable of.

Lesson Fees
One to one online tuition: £240 per hour for university-level work.
Sessions are run with complete efficiency: no time is wasted and nothing is stretched out. My aim is simple: real understanding, and results that show in your module grades.
Most students take weekly sessions during term; intensive blocks are available before exam season, and they book out early.
Payment is by bank transfer, at least 48 hours before the session to confirm the booking.

Where my students go next
My top Maths students have gone on to win places for Natural Sciences at Cambridge, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, and for Economics at Cambridge and the London School of Economics, where Mathematics is the qualification that opens the door. If your child is aiming that high, the route runs through admissions tests as well as grades, and I prepare students for the ESAT and TMUA too.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Edexcel (A), Edexcel (B), AQA, OCR, WJEC and International A-Level (IAL). I know each specification and its mark schemes in detail.
-
I tutor online only, and I consider it the better format: video call with live iPad screen sharing, so students see every diagram and model answer drawn in real time and keep all the notes. Resources are seconds away, no time is lost, and it works anywhere in the world.
-
Faster than most families expect. Even the first few sessions bring a real jump in confidence and clarity: the student understands exactly where they are, the level they should be performing at, what examiners are looking for, and precisely what it will take to close the gap, with a revision plan built around it. From there, multi grade improvements between mocks and finals are common among committed students, and I have taken students from a D to an A* in the final examination
-
Every session is hyper personalised to the student's needs. A typical hour combines targeted content coverage with exam-style questions worked under pressure: technique coaching, immediate feedback, and accelerated learning in the areas that matter most for that student. Confidence and belief building runs through all of it, and homework is set for the week ahead.
-
Earlier is always better, but I also specialise in late-stage intensive preparation if exams are close.
-
Yes, many of my students board at schools such as Eton, Harrow and Marlborough. We schedule around the school timetable, and I plan tuition content around what they are covering at school.
-
Yes, including complete delivery of the full A-Level Economics syllabus from scratch. Homeschooled students I have taught this way have achieved A*s.
-
Yes. I have extensive experience supporting students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, dysgraphia and other learning differences, and I'm trained in a range of teaching techniques, so the approach adapts to the student rather than the other way round. I find how each student learns best, and teach that way.
-
Small group sessions can be arranged, for example friends or students of similar level preparing for the same exam. Contact me to discuss.
-
I have worked with high profile families throughout my career, including well known public figures. Privacy and discretion are absolute.
-
All payments are made at least 48 hours before the first session, in order to confirm the lesson slot. Payment is by bank transfer.
-
Lessons cancelled within 24 hours of the session are charged at the full rate, as this doesn't leave enough time to offer the hour to another student.
