About Waleed
Waleed has taught Science in UK schools for over a decade, including several years as Head of Science. He has a Master's degree in Science and another in Education.
Since moving into private tuition, he has taught students one-to-one from independent, grammar and selective state schools. Many are already capable but need better exam technique, a stronger grasp of the science or more challenging work.
He tells students where they stand and what they need to work on, and keeps parents updated regularly.
The majority of Waleed's long-term GCSE students move from Grade 6 or 7 to Grade 9 within around 18 months. He combines subject teaching with exam practice tailored to each student.
What to expect
All sessions are one-to-one and online. The first session checks your child's understanding across the three sciences and identifies what they know well and what needs work.
One-to-one sessions with Waleed cost £50 for 60 minutes or £40 for 45 minutes.
Each lesson has a clear focus. Waleed explains difficult ideas plainly and uses questions to check what students have understood. Students practise exam questions and look at how the science applies in real life, so they can think for themselves in exams.
After each lesson, parents get an update on what their child covered, how they got on, what still needs work and what comes next.
Results
- Students from independent and grammar schools have gone on to achieve top grades at GCSE and IGCSE across all three sciences.
- Students who started with gaps in their understanding have improved their grasp of the science and their exam confidence within a single academic year.
- Parents regularly say Waleed's explanations are clearer and their children have improved their exam technique and study habits.
