Core Specialisms
I teach Foundation and Higher tier GCSE Maths to pupils from Year 7 to Year 11. I help them close gaps quickly and improve how they tackle exam questions.
I prepare pupils for GL Assessment, CEM and FSCE. I sat the 11+ entrance exam myself and attended Heckmondwike Grammar School, so I pay close attention to the details of each exam.

About Aadam
Before founding SHLC in 2020, Aadam taught maths in UK secondary schools for five years. He has Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a Master's in Education and enhanced DBS clearance, and studied at the University of York. Since leaving the classroom, he has tutored over 120 families across the UK and internationally in 11+, SATs and GCSE Maths.
In the first session, Aadam finds out what your child is struggling with and plans lessons around it. He tells parents what is working and what still needs attention.
He teaches the Edexcel, AQA and OCR GCSE maths specifications, Cambridge and Edexcel iGCSE, and 11+ maths for both GL Assessment and independent school entrance. The exams ask different questions and mark them differently, so he prepares pupils for the exam they will sit.
Track record
A Year 6 student earned a grammar school scholarship after eight weeks of focused preparation.
Multiple GCSE students improved by four grades in a single academic year.
Students have moved from bottom set to top set within two years.
A student who failed their first 11+ attempt passed on the second try and now attends Bradford Grammar School in the top set.
11+ students have secured places at Merchant Taylors', Queen Elizabeth's School, The Latymer School and other selective schools.
Aadam sat the entrance exam and secured a place at Heckmondwike Grammar, now the top-rated school in the North of England. He completed his education there and draws on that experience when preparing pupils for the 11+.
Current availability
Aadam updates his availability. One-to-one sessions with him cost £50 for 45 minutes or £60 for 60 minutes.
What to expect
All sessions are one-to-one on Google Meet. The scholarship and grade improvements above came from online lessons.
Aadam uses the first session to see what your child can do, rather than relying only on their school report. In later sessions, they work through questions live. He gives feedback straight away and sets a short piece of practice before the next lesson.
After each lesson, Aadam tells parents what their child understood, what still needs work and what they will cover next.
Within a few weeks, most parents notice their child is more willing to tackle maths homework. They ask better questions and feel more confident when faced with a problem. Their grades tend to improve too.
