About Karim
I have over 15 years of experience, from Key Stage 2 up to postgraduate level. I am also a Mensa member (requires an IQ in the top 2% of the population) and a keen learner. I graduated in 2007, aged 19, with a Master of Science degree from King's College London. I completed my first A Level aged 13 and my first GCSEs aged 11.
I enjoy making a positive difference to others, supporting both students and professionals to meet (and often exceed) their educational and career development goals. I also work with students who have special educational needs and find this especially rewarding.
I volunteer extensively, often speak to large audiences, have had the privilege of serving as a police officer, possess international business experience and have also been an A Level examiner for the Oxford, Cambridge and RSA (OCR) examination board.
I'm known for being patient, kind, supportive, enthusiastic and professional. I have very positive relationships with all of my students; older students will often call just before exams to calm nerves, send me messages afterwards and when results come out to let me know how happy they are, and feel comfortable approaching me for guidance even outside of our formal tutoring hours. For younger students, parents will often do the same.
My tutoring style is genuinely personal; my approach varies considerably, based on the subject matter and each learner's preferred learning styles.
I understand that we all have different strengths. I have also experienced how the right kind of support can make so much difference in empowering us to push out our boundaries, deliver our best and achieve success -- even beyond our own expectations.
I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of that journey with you, or with your upper-primary / secondary-aged children. I look forward to hearing from you!
*** Subjects Offered ***
I offer tutoring for improved performance in selection tests, including aptitude / cognitive skills testing, whether for school or employment selection purposes. This includes a wide range of verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and integrated reasoning tests, including those featured in assessments such as the 11 Plus, BMAT, GMAT, GRE, UKCAT and Oxbridge TSA.
I also offer tutoring at up to postgraduate level in Computer Science and ICT related subjects, up to A Level in Maths, Psychology and Critical Thinking, up to GCSE in the Sciences and in English Language (including TOEFL / IELTS / Cambridge English and other specialised tests), and in most subjects at upper primary / lower secondary level.
In addition, I provide tutoring in computer applications and skills, ranging from beginner to advanced level.
I have proven expertise in a range of applications, including Microsoft Windows (including Networking and Servers), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook), Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat, Audition, After Effects), Programming and Web Development (.NET, HTML, CSS, ASP, JavaScript, XML) and more.
I very much enjoy acting as an education or career mentor and am happy to review business plans and ideas, discuss educational and employment choices, career goals and progression, etc.

Perfect! Imperial & Oxford Interview
I am a high-school student who has just received his offer from Oxford University. Karim helped me articulate my answers during the interview and highlight my strengths. It also helped me get an offer from Imperial College. I recommend him as a tutor for any kind of interview practice.

Karim has been so patient, encouraging and understating to my linguistic needs. He has many skills and teaching technics that will keep you interested and investing in the lessons. I have recommended him to my brother and he is now a loyal student of Karim.
I do highly recommend Karim as an English teacher, and without having actually taken other classes with him bar English, I'm sure he is as great in other subjects.

In my final year, I thought I was going to fail my cryptography and quantitative methods. I was struggling to complete my project and also trying to revise. I began worrying I wouldn't graduate and started to look for help when I found Karim, and what a big difference!!! Karim made difficult material easy to follow and motivated me to work harder. He made the impossible seem possible again and I was really happy with our lessons.
I started sessions with Karim when I needed some help to pass my GCSE maths and science exams. I had no confidence and other teachers had given up on me. Karim took time to understand me and what I needed. We timetabled my revision and set objectives together for each session. He was always well prepared and easy to follow and genuinely cared that I should do well. No question was "too stupid" to be asked and I quickly started to feel more confident. After just a few weeks, I had my exams - and I passed! I'm really happy with what we achieved and would highly recommend Karim to anyone looking to improve their grades.
