Feedback on the Maths tutors we work with
"Rizwaan has been an outstanding A level maths tutor. Despite being academically able, the disruption caused by the pandemic had resulted in our daughter becoming totally disengaged, lacking in motivation and underperforming. In barely two months he managed to motivate our daughter to realise her true potential and raise her grade from a D to an A*. He rapidly identified the gaps that needed to be filled and set an intensive programme of work that needed to be done alongside the tutorials. Equally importantly he always expected nothing less than her best efforts. Thankfully this input brought an end to 18 months of her being in ‘cruise control’ and working at levels well below her capabilities. This approach resulted in a new sense of motivation, and a belief that all was not lost. Exceptional results rapidly followed. Rizwaan’s teaching is of extremely high quality. He had endless patience and kindness in mentoring our daughter through the final couple of months. Our only regret was not having him on board earlier! We highly recommend Rizwaan as a maths tutor. He is truly exceptional."
Mother of an A level Maths student"I was preparing for an University entrance exam for which I needed to learn a specific syllabus. Rick helped me to understand this syllabus and clearly explained the concepts in a very articulated manner. Rick also helped me go beyond the level expected for the exam, which allowed me to develop a greater range of Mathematical skills particularly relevant for my future studies in Maths. More so, Rick taught me the skills necessary to do well in my test, which I did, and also encouraged a greater appreciation for the subject. I would highly recommend him as a tutor in Mathematics."

How our TMUA tutoring works
The TMUA tutors we work with are experienced in the intricacies of the Test of Mathematics University Assessment. Preparation for entrance to university begins in the Sixth Form, and the TMUA tutors we represent are able to provide guidance and support through the process for maths admissions.
We can guide you through every step of the competitive application process to study Maths at university and introduce you to specialist tutors to help from application, entrance tests and interviews.
The Maths tutors we represent can help your child maximise their performance in the TMUA, building on their knowledge and helping them to demonstrate the depth of their understanding successfully, as they compete for places to read Maths at one of the UK’s top universities.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.
We also have specialists tutors available for STEP (Maths), A Level Maths, IB Maths and the Maths Admissions Test (MAT).

During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses.Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and your target course.
After the first lesson, one of our dedicated client managers will contact you to find out how the lesson went. Our client managers are always available at the end of the phone and they are frequently praised for their efficiency, dedication and responsiveness.
