About

Private Educational Consultant | Academic Mentor | Selective School Admissions Specialist

Supporting ambitious families through every stage of their child’s educational journey.

Education is one of the most significant investments a family can make. It shapes confidence, opportunity and the choices available throughout a child’s life.

For more than 12 years, I have worked alongside families who seek more than conventional tutoring. My practice provides highly personalised educational consultancy, academic mentoring and selective school admissions support, helping students realise their potential through thoughtful guidance, structured learning and long-term academic planning.

Over the course of my career, I have delivered more than 30,000 hours of one-to-one teaching and academic mentoring, supporting students across the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Europe, the United States and New Zealand.

Many of the families I work with remain with me for several years, trusting me to guide their children through multiple stages of education—from primary school, through selective school admissions, GCSEs and beyond.

Reviews from First Tutors

5.0 38 from First Tutors

Imported from Huma F.'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.

    Huma has been amazing! She has been helping my son prepare for his math test, and he really liked her unique and very clear explanations. I will certainly ask Huma to help with the next test. Laura

    We booked Huma to provide extra tuition for our daughter back in January 2024. Since then Huma has provided invaluable support and help. She is very approachable and able to adapt the lessons exactly to the required areas. We would have no hesitation in recommending Huma to support students to achieve higher grades.

    Huma has been excellent. My daughter was struggling with maths at school at the start of Year 10, but weekly term-time sessions with Huma over the past 13 months have totally turned things around. As well as being extremely efficient and well organised, Huma is very friendly and approachable - she has really helped grow my daughter's confidence and reduce her anxiety levels in the run-up to GCSEs. Thank you so much, Huma!!

    Working with Huma has been an absolute game-changer for my son. Her clear explanations made even the most challenging concepts feel manageable. My son gained an enormous confidence in his maths abilities thanks to her amazing efforts. He was offered a place at Tiffin. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to excel in maths.

    Huma is a fantastic maths tutor. She is patient and gives my children confidence is their own abilities. She is really great at explaining tricky concepts in a way my children can understand and then retain. Thank you, Huma.

    Quick, clear, flexible to deal with a slightly unusual request - all communication was over email which is what we wanted so really valued a rapid response and clarity over how answers were derived Expensive but worth it as just what we needed as a short term fix solution

    Huma has been teaching my homeschooling daughter GCSE AQA Physics(Higher) for the last 6 months. Huma is incredibly professional, efficient and flexible with her teaching style and has, over this relatively short period of time, helped to increase both my daughter's confidence and ability in Physics enormously. My daughter began believing that she could not understand Physics but now she is achieving high grades in her assessments. Huma is a calm, flexible and intuitive teacher and spots moments where a different method of teaching or approach may be required for her student. She is also very lovely to work with! I am happy to highly recommend Huma and my daughter feels incredibly fortunate to have found such a great Physics tutor. Thank you Huma!

    Huma has been teaching my daughter for nearly a year and she has made great progress in both maths and English with Huma’s support. Huma is organised and plans well and is always happy to provide and share extra materials to support additional learning outside the lesson. Huma is flexible with her timing availability which is also a great help. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.

    Huma is a great teacher… My kids are doing home schooling for 3 years now. Currently year 3 and 4. Huma is teaching them English and Mathematics and my kids progress is excellent, they are more confident and feeling very comfortable and relaxing with the teacher. I would highly recommend Huma because of her very unique teaching techniques and serious attitude.

    Huma is a fantastic tutor who has already instilled a newfound love of mathematics in my daughter who had very little confidence in her own ability. I highly recommend Huma as a tutor, she is excellent.

    Huma tutored my daughter (year7) and in just a handful of lessons I noticed in my child an increased confidence and ability to tackle exercises that she had not understood prior to her tutoring. Her end of year test results were greatly improved as well. Huma has a gentle but business like approach that works well and a clear manner in explaining things.

    In a matter of only a few sessions with Huma we have noticed a positive difference in our daughters approach to learning. She really enjoys their sessions together and feels confident and motivated to learn.

    Huma is reliable, professional and extremely accommodating. Our 11 year old really struggles with maths but in just a few weeks Huma has helped to build her confidence. Working alongside Livvy’s syllabus and providing so many relevant and helpful resources. We are so grateful of her help.

    My daughter is really benefiting from her sessions with Huma. They are making a big difference in her understand and building back her confidence in maths since missing a lot of school last year. Highly recommend.

    Huma has been very punctual and incredibly friendly, her teaching style was perfect. My daughter was struggling with English and after a term with Huma the difference was brilliant to see, she improved from grade 3 to 6

    Huma was very kind and professional answering my questions while I was figuring out what kind of tutoring was best for my child. Unfortunately her profile didn't match our needs but she is really reliable and understands child's needs.
