What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Mathematics tuition in Norwich, delivered under the name Maths Mentoring, draws consistent praise from pupils and families, and one name recurs throughout: Said. Those who write in credit him with lifting results substantially, several describing movement from middling grades to the highest marks after sustained tuition. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is his patience and his readiness to explain a concept in several different ways until it becomes clear, whether the pupil is aiming simply to pass or to reach the top band.

Exam technique and past papers feature in many accounts, with students noting that he showed them how to work through papers methodically and to study in a more rounded way. His manner is described as friendly and encouraging, treating learners as equals rather than talking down to them, and several mention the confidence and motivation gained alongside the marks. Long-term pupils speak of mentoring that ran across roughly thirty months, and one mentions going on to a mathematics degree and then doctoral study. Feedback between sessions and help with keeping to a steady work schedule are also noted, with a memorable phrase from lessons recalled fondly by at least one student.

Said is an incredible tutor! Before having lessons with him, I was predicted a C in Maths, but with his guidance I ended up achieving an A in my A Level results. What made his teaching effective was that he focused on developing a strong foundation and understanding in Maths - helping me tackle more unfamiliar exam questions. He taught me the importance of consistent practice, while also encouraging me to analyse and understand my mistakes, even when they seemed like “silly” mistakes. This helped me a lot when identifying my weaknesses and become more confident subject. If you are looking for a tutor who invests in their students’ progress and is committed to helping them reach their full potential, I would highly recommend him!

Said is amazing and helped me go from a C to A* (with a lot of time reading his feedback and doing past papers of course). He is friendly and supportive would definitely recommend to anyone who’s determined to get an A*!

Said is a great mentor as he was able to answer any questions I had and taught me easier ways to go about difficult topics. He ensured that I saw him every week before my exam so that I was confident in my abilities and on results day I was able to achieve two grades higher than my predicted.

Said is an amazing maths tutor who really cares and puts the time in to help support his students. I really appreciated his mentoring throughout GCSE and A Level Maths, where Said made a positive impact to both my grades and my enjoyment of the subject. Across my class, Said was able to help students at a variety of levels to meet (and often exceed) their goals, whether they were aiming to pass or reach A*s - Thank you!

At first i didn't feel like i was going to pass maths at all with the skills i had back in year 10 but when i saw that i was improving and getting better at answering difficult questions, i believed that i can achieve what i wanted and needed to continue my education. That was all because of Said! He helped me improve my maths skills and taught me everything that i needed for my GCSE's. There were moments where i didn't understand a question and he would explain it so easily that i fully understood it, which challenged me to have a go at similar questions. Said is not only an amazing teacher but i consider him as a best friend, we laughed together and made many happy memories. He gave me the confidence to walk into that exam hall and try the best that i could. I can't recommend Said enough, he is just a brilliant amazing mentor that gives you the knowledge you need to do amazingly on the exams. Thank you for everything Said!
