About

I am a highly experienced and fully qualified mathematics teacher with over 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience in the United Kingdom. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and I have taught students across KS2, KS3, GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, and Further Mathematics in both school and private tutoring settings.

Alongside my classroom teaching experience in secondary schools and sixth form colleges, I have delivered more than 50,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring to students of all abilities and backgrounds. Over the years, I have successfully supported students preparing for GCSE and A-Level examinations, 11+ and entrance exams, university preparation, Olympiad and competition mathematics, and advanced mathematics courses. Many of my students have achieved top grades, significantly improved their confidence, and gained places at competitive schools and universities.

My teaching approach focuses on building deep conceptual understanding, logical thinking, and strong problem-solving skills rather than simple memorisation. I believe every student can succeed in mathematics with the right support, structure, and encouragement. I adapt lessons carefully to each student’s individual learning style, pace, and academic goals, creating engaging and supportive sessions that help students feel confident and motivated.

I am passionate about making mathematics accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for every student. Whether helping a student overcome difficulties in foundational topics or stretching highly able learners towards top grades and advanced problem solving, I aim to create lessons that are clear, challenging, and inspiring.

Reviews from First Tutors

4.9 across 112 reviews

Imported from Reza S.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

    Hi - i would like to say Reza has been a very supportive tutor whilst I am preparing for my A level maths exam. I have had a few lessons with him and I already feel this has provided me with a more in depth understanding of some of the difficult content . He is very knowledgable in the subject and explains difficult topics really well and the notes from the lessons have really helped me. He would always response to any queries that I may have.

    Reza has been a great support for my son, explaining difficult math problems in a clear and straightforward way. Reza's patient and encouraging approach makes it easy to ask questions, and he adjusts each lesson to focus on the areas where my son needs the most help. With Reza’s guidance, he was able to raise his A‑level predicted grade after just three lessons and in general my son’s confidence has grown noticeably. Highly recommended!

    Third session today and my daughter came out telling me Reza is an excellent tutor. She's midway through studying A Level mathematics. Explained his style of teaching is to explain the issue, show examples and is then using a multiple of questions from previous papers to show how the math problem might be tested in an exam.

    We are incredibly impressed with Reza after the first lesson. My son, who is studying for his GCSEs, was very happy and finally feels confident. Reza's skill in pinpointing exact gaps in his knowledge was brilliant. He didn't just teach; he created a comprehensive learning plan with excellent resources. A truly fantastic tutor – 5 stars are not enough!
