GCSE, IGCSE & KS3 Mathematics Tuition

GCSE, IGCSE & KS3 Mathematics Tuition

Every GCSE Maths student I have tutored has achieved a grade 8 or 9.

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. I work with students at every starting point: some arrive chasing a 9, others arrive struggling, far behind, and convinced maths isn't for them. That belief is almost never true, and this is the age where "I'm just not a maths person" takes root. I've watched students go from dreading maths to it becoming their strongest subject, because once belief changes, everything changes. The foundations built at KS3 and GCSE decide everything that comes after: get them right, and A-Level becomes an open door.

I'm Mehdi Naqvi, regarded as one of the UK's leading 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). Early entry is now a specialism of mine: I've trained my own Year 9 students to sit GCSE Maths two years early and achieve a grade 9, just as I did. And because I've taught everything from KS3 to Further Maths A-level, I teach techniques from day one that carry through the whole journey, so nothing ever needs relearning. I cover GCSE, IGCSE (Cambridge , AQA, Edexcel) and KS3, teaching online, with students from all backgrounds and all schools: from state schools to Eton, Harrow, Westminster, St Paul's, Sevenoaks and top international 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

Every student begins with a careful diagnosis, drawing on school reports, past papers and my own assessment to establish exactly where the gaps and areas for development lie. From there I prioritise: we address first the topics where the most marks are to be gained, and tailored lessons with weekly personalised homework close each gap in the right order.

Syllabus Mastery & Exam Technique

Formally trained in marking, and liaising closely with examiners, I teach students exactly what earns marks: applying knowledge, structuring answers, and reaching the justified conclusions examiners reward. We refine it all through past papers and timed practice under real conditions.

Building Belief

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.

Digital scheduling for GCSE and IB tutoring sessions

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.

Testimonials

  • My daughter really enjoys the lessons with Mehdi and her understanding of economics has improved enormously in a reasonably short space of time. I’m very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend him.

    Parent, Dame Malace Owens (GCSE results: Mathematics A* (L9), Economics A* (L9))

  • Mehdi has been fantastic in helping our daughter with KS3 Mathematics. His engaging lessons have made her more enthusiastic about the subject and improved her overall understanding.
