GCSE, A level, IB, and undergraduates K12, Master degree, PhD help provided in any aspect of leaner's difficulty,

Does any of this sound familiar?

You understand most of the content but you just can’t answer the questions
You did really well at GCSE but your marks at A-level are really disappointing and you just don’t know where you’re going wrong
You know you’re supposed to work on your exam technique but you don’t know what good exam technique actually is
You sit down to study but you don’t really know what you should be doing so you just end up on instagram wasting time
You dread doing the calculation questions and you’re worried that not doing A-level maths means you’ll struggle
Your teachers aren’t really doing anything to help you improve and they’re not supportive

If so, you've found the right tutor!

My name is Mustafa, and I’m an online chemistry and biology tutor.

I’ve been a full-time tutor for over 7 years, and I’m also an Associate Lecturer for the NUST, Islamabad, where I tutor natural sciences and investigation skills.

During my time as a tutor, I’ve worked with hundreds of students and built up thousands of hours of experience. I’ve seen the mistakes they’re making that cost them the grades, and I know the changes they’ve made and the skills they’ve developed to allow them to overcome their struggles.

Plus, I’ve been there myself. I went from getting CC in double science at GCSE to straight As at A-Level, then a first class honors degree and a Masters degree. I didn’t become any smarter or any more naturally gifted at science. What I did do is work very hard at figuring out how to study and how to think like a scientist so that I could make sense of even the most difficult exam question and answer it in a way that would get me the marks.

These skills are what I now teach my students and what allows them big improvements to their grades and aim for the career they want.

My approach to tuition

Exactly what we’ll do in our lessons depends on what you need help with. If you’re really struggling with calculations, we’ll spend a lot of our time on that. If you have no idea how to study, we’ll make sure that you work out a study strategy that works for you.

For all students, though, my approach is based on doing whatever we need to do to get you exam ready. This always involves working on exam technique.

I meet a crazy amount of students who think (or, even worse, have been told by their teachers) that all they have to do at A-Level is work through the CGP books, learn the keywords, and do a few past papers.

Unfortunately, there’s no way that this will get you a half decent grade. In reality, this is barely enough to even pass.

If you’ve looked at the A-Level exam papers, you’ll know that half the questions look nothing like what you’ve learned. The focus of the exams is the application of your knowledge to new contexts, not just a regurgitation of model answers you’ve learned from marking schemes that are older than you.

This means that to be able to cope with the exams, you’re going to have to learn the skills that allow you to make sense of what you’re being asked to do and figure out how it relates to what you’ve learned so that you can construct answers that actually address the question and are specific enough to be worth the marks.

This is what we actually mean by "exam technique," and teaching these skills is the basis of my approach to tuition. Overall, I’ll teach you to stop thinking like a student and start thinking like a scientist.

As part of this, we’ll work on the subject-specific skills required for A* exam technique, such as breaking down scary calculation questions in Chemistry, and analyzing and interpreting graphs in Biology. We’ll also cover the basics, including the correct format for the answer to an ‘explain’ question, and how to avoid rounding errors in calculation questions.

As well as working on exam technique, I’ll teach you any content that you’ve struggled to get your head around, and I’ll help you develop the study skills that you’ll need to cover everything in an efficient and effective way. Speaking of which, here's a guide to studying for A- and O-level Chemistry and Biology so you can get started right away.

I’ll also provide you with as many exam questions as you can handle so that you have plenty of opportunities to practice what you’ve learned and develop your understanding further.
