About Me
Hello, I'm Abbas Ali, a math tutor with a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a Master's in Building Information Modelling. My love for math has been a lifelong passion, and I've successfully taught students to excel in their GCSE exams. My personalized teaching approach and the transformation I've witnessed in my students, including my own sibling, reflect my dedication to making math accessible and enjoyable. I believe math is more than just problem-solving; it's about building critical thinking skills. Whether you need help with exams, grades, or a deeper appreciation for math, I'm here to guide you on this exciting journey. Let's make math your strength!
Education
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, where I consistently achieved top scores in all math-related courses. My passion for mathematics led me to pursue a Master's degree in Building Information Modelling (BIM), where I continued to excel in math-related coursework.

My dedication to mathematics culminated in achieving an A* in Mathematics during my GCSE exams, showcasing my strong grasp of the subject and my ability to excel in challenging mathematical concepts.

Throughout my academic journey, including my Master's in Building Information Modelling, I have consistently demonstrated a deep love for mathematics and a commitment to excellence in all math-related courses. My educational background and achievements reflect my expertise in the field, making me a knowledgeable and capable math tutor ready to help students reach their full potential in mathematics
Experience / Qualifications
With over five years of tutoring experience, I've had the privilege of working with 15 students spanning from second-grade learners to those preparing for their GCSE exams. My journey as a math tutor has been a rewarding one, witnessing the growth and success of my diverse group of students.

For the younger ones, I've focused on building a strong foundation in basic math concepts through interactive and engaging methods. As they progressed through the grades, I've adapted my teaching style to cater to their evolving needs, ensuring a smooth transition into more complex topics.

For my GCSE students, my goal has always been to demystify challenging math concepts, providing them with the tools and confidence to excel in their exams. Through personalized lesson plans, practice exams, and targeted guidance, I've helped many of them achieve their desired grades.

My commitment to making math accessible, enjoyable, and tailored to each student's unique learning style has been a constant throughout my tutoring career. I take pride in the progress and achievements of my students, knowing that I've played a part in their mathematical journey.

I am a UCL Biological Sciences student seeking to offer a highly personalised tutoring experience that caters to my students' needs. I currently teach from Year 7 upwards with a speciality in exam preparation. I teach Geography, RS, Physics, and English from Years 7-11, and Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry from Years 7-13.

I aim to understand my tutees' unique concerns and explain concepts simply with many alternative approaches. As someone who has experienced obstacles to my own learning, I have a lot of empathy for students struggling with their learning, particularly those with learning differences and endeavour to develop an approach that works for them.

I was a strong student in secondary school (Queen’s College, London) achieving A*s and As (and equivalents) at GCSE and three As at A-Level in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Particularly of note, I received a 9 in GCSE Mathematics, 98% in GCSE Religious Studies, and was awarded a sixth-form academic scholarship.

I am an experienced tutor - I participated in a tutoring scheme in secondary school which allowed students from Year 7 to Year 12 to ask any questions they might be struggling with in any subject they wished. This allowed me to continue to engage with my GCSE content during my A-Level years and taught me how to listen to and understand the particular needs of each student at a given moment. I also tutored family and friends of family, allowing me to engage personally with my students and develop a specialised teaching approach.

I offer one hour and two hour sessions and am free on weekends, after 5pm, and whenever my university timetable permits. I am generally free at all times outside of university term time.

I achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities.

On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well!

I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful.

Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson.

In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them.

During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.
