About Zaid
I started in Astrophysics but switched fields to Biochemistry and Genetics. In the mid-1990s, I dropped scientific research and went into tutoring full time.
This background, a talent for teaching, and thirty years of experience enables me to teach Chemistry, Physics, and Biology as well as Maths. As well as working for a number of tutorial colleges in Oxford, I founded and ran a small and friendly tutoring centre until 2019 when covid made it impractical. Since I have been tutoring mostly online, which I have found it works very well.
I can offer one-to-one tuition, tuition in small groups, intensive revision courses over the Easter holidays, and access to my online study club for A-level Maths students.

In principle, the path to a top grade is simple: understand, apply, practise.
However, students tend to overcomplicate it because they get overwhelmed by how much there is to learn. I help students achieve the grades they need in as smooth, effective, and stress-free a way as possible.
For one-to-one tuition, I normally start with an introductory free lesson/meeting in which we discuss the student's academic ambitions, examine what the sticking points may be, and make a plan. In the lessons, I teach the material, help them develop an effective study routine, and work on their exam technique.
It's difficult to generalise but, typically, I would expect an improvement of around 2 grades in three months.

As a student with quite low confidence to begin with Zaid has ensured that despite not taking maths alongside physics I have all the skills need to do well. He is a very understanding individual and he has allowed me to enjoy the course and greatly improve my grades.
Zaid has been helping my daughter for nearly a year with aLevel mathematics. He has been extremely helpful, very flexible and professional. Zaid's explaining complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand and using various approaches to make sure the problem is well understood. My daughter's confidence in maths increased dramatically.
Thank you!I have known Zaid professionally for over 30 years. He worked for me from 2001-2012 as a tutor in Sciences and Maths at all levels at a private college in Oxford, where I was Vice Principal. Since then, as an educational consultant, I have continued to employ him consistently over the years. He is a hugely experienced and outstanding tutor, with an in-depth knowledge of all his subjects as well as the individual, differing requirements of each exam specification. He explains and demonstrates with clarity and precision and adapts his methods to suit the needs of the student in question and overcome any specific learning issues they might be having. He focuses not only on imparting factual knowledge but also on exam techniques designed to maximize students' marks.
I have known Zaid as a tutor of Maths for over twenty years during which time he has taught dozens of A-Level students for me.
Zaid has extensive experience of helping both high-flyers and strugglers and he is the outstanding A-Level Maths tutor in Oxford in my opinion.
Zaid has incredible knowledge not only of the exam requirements for all Maths syllabuses but also University applications, revision skills, and every aspect of preparing for A-Level exams.See more recommendations
