About Rishi
I have graduated from City University of London having studied Maths and Computer Science. I have been tutoring for over 7 years and my last academic pass rate was 100% with students achieving Grade 6 and higher. I believe in simplifying and structuring seemingly complex and overwhelming tasks, approaching them in a way that demystifies the learning process and empowers the student.
I feel strongly that learning should be enjoyable whilst building confidence, accomplishment and self-esteem, as well as teaching self-discipline and self-motivation. I’ve been tutoring a long time so I’m quick to identify problems, and ways to solve them. Likewise I take care to look at what they’re already doing right and praise good work fulsomely. I get on well with my students because I treat them with the same respect as I would an adult.
I am relaxed and laid back in my manner although I ask my students a lot of difficult questions. I’ve been tutoring a long time so I’m quick to identify problems, and ways to solve them. Likewise I take care to look at what they’re already doing right and praise good work fulsomely. I get on well with my students because I treat them with the same respect as I would an adult. The top schools are looking for pupils who are both interested and interesting, and I try to show them that those things are one and the same.
I advocate a Socratic approach to learning – one in which the teacher leads through questioning, encouraging the student to use their own mind to seek answers and find solutions. As such, I believe in a flexible teaching approach that is sensitive to each individual’s needs, strengths/weaknesses and personal goals.
I believe in simplifying and structuring seemingly complex and overwhelming tasks, approaching them in a way that demystifies the learning process and empowers the student. I have the ability to register to your child's ability, furnishing students with the confidence, knowledge and mindset to succeed. I specialise in teaching Mathematics and English ensuring that your child achieves their goals quickly and efficiently realising their full potential.
Experience:
Over the 6 years I have tutored, I have amassed over 3500 hours of one to one tuition. I am comfortable tutoring people of all ages, and have experience with age ranges from young children of 6 and 7 to university undergraduates.
In regards to the subjects I teach, they are as follows:
KS3: Mathematics and Science
All Exam Boards
GCSE: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography
Edexcel, OCR, iGCSE and AQA
A Level: Mathematics and Physics
Edexcel, OCR, AQA and IB
11+
I have coached students into Harrow and Slough Consortium. I teach interview technique, verbal and nonverbal reasoning, Maths, English composition and comprehension.
I’m just as interested in what they’re reading and what they like to do outside class. Reading books and pursuing hobbies are grist to the mill of interview preparation – what do they get excited about, what have they read recently? – because they give students something to talk about and can speak with knowledge and confidence.
I have also assisted with University Applications including proof reading applications.

Rishi has been teaching English to my son since an year and we have seen considerable improvements. He is very dedicated and goes extra mile to have additional sessions in helping the students.
Rishi is polite and patient and is supporting my child with his 11 plus. As a parent i thought my sons strongest subject was maths but realised it wasnt and rishi has focused on the areas of improvement and has been challenging him. Great with feedback and always available if my son doesnt understand a question and helps him that day so you don't have to wait till the next lesson.
My son feels comfortable and happy with the way rishi teaches and the level of homework. He also tries to make it fun for him. Rishi has definitely helped me with 11plus support and keeping him on the right teack as i didn't have the time to do this.Rishi is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and experienced tutor I have ever encountered in my life. My daughter is preparing for her 11 plus and grammar entry exams, I have seen a massive improvement in her verbal, non-verbal, English and Maths in just 4 lessons. He is also a compassionate, kind, honest and will give you a full analysis on your child's strength and weakness in just one lesson. For these reasons, I highly recommend Rishi to be the best 11 plus tutor.
Rishi has been teaching my son for 11plus since a year. He has been an amazing and wonderful teacher. He has given lots of support and has encouraged my son to get into a grammar school. He always made learning fun in a whole new level and is my son's idol as well as mentor. He is an amazing enthusiast and would highly recommend you to get him as your child's tutor to get into Grammar school. He made my son's greatest fantasy come true. Tutors like Rishi are one in a million. He is always available 24/7 on the phone, what sup and email for all the quires if my son had.
I came across Rishi in 2019 when I was having difficulties in Maths during my GCSEs. He has worked diligently throughout our lessons, simplifying overwhelming tasks. He has helped me improve my skills and prepare me for the future. As well as Maths he has helped me improve my English and Science and gave me a better understanding in order for me to achieve the best possible grades. I am very thankful for his support in my education.
It was tough adjusting to homeschooling due to COVID19 but Rishi was able to maintain the structure of lessons and continued supporting me to ensure I maximise my potential. I now feel much more confident around the core subjects and have achieved Grade 7's in all my past papers.
I would highly recommend Rishi as he goes over and beyond to ensure I understand the content in detail.Rishi is tutoring my daughter in GCSE maths, chemistry, physics, biology and business administration.
My daughter has improved dramatically in this subjects. Her confidence level has grown.
Rishi is very professional and highly experienced.
My daughters feedback is; that she understands her tutor’s method of teaching very well, he is patient and at the same time challenges her to ensure that she achieves her very best not only in her exams but for her further education too.Maths and English
I went to Rishi when my children went back to school after lockdown, just to bring them upto speed as during the lockdown there wasn’t much learning done. He is very good at what he does. My children are much more confident in their learning. He made lessons fun for them, so they enjoyed going. Rishi helped my children with English and Maths. My elder daughter enjoys doing maths at school and Rishi helped her improve alot and taught her tricks to remember her times tables. Rishi is very accommodating and makes sure he can help in every way possible. Would definitely recommend him to all parents looking for tutors for their children
Rishi taught my daughter 11+ online for a short period of time. During this time I saw her confidence grow in both Maths and English, especially English in which she needed the extra support. Great tutor who made the learning fun, great way to teach to keep the motivation going!

Rishi was an excellent tutor to me for my GCSE's. He helped me with Maths English and Science. Rishi is a very good tutor as he pushed me further and further every week and made me me very hard and pushed me further and further. Rishi is very polite and always on time.
I highly recommend Rishi as a tutor as he helped me get the grades that I wanted.
Subjects : Maths, English and ScienceWith just 12 months of tutoring my son achieved an A grade in A-Level Computer Science.
Leading 12 months to the exams we were told by my son's school that he does not stand a chance of passing Computer Science.
Rishi came to the rescue and I can't ever thank him enough. We were desperate for a pass. With COVID-19 over our heads, we never thought he would walk away with an A grade.
He has not only been a tutor but a great mentor as well. He helped him build his confidence, motivate him and been inspirational. I have seen his coding confidence improve significantly.
We wish we had found him sooner. Will be in touch again for my younger son's English A-levels soon.
You are a star! Thank youInitially, we called Rishi for English tutoring, however, he was able to assist my daughter in other subjects such as Science and Maths. This was very useful as I was considering getting another tutor. He was able to adapt to her understanding and learning habits, making sure that she feels more confident than she did in the previous lesson. She now feels that she can confidently structure her paragraphs and cover all necessary points to achieve the highest mark possible.
Rishi is a good teacher and is always very well prepared with sheets and notes before the lesson. He is helpful and really helps me understand everything well.
Since being tutored by Rishi, my daughter has become so much more confident in her maths. Rishi is patient, adapts to her learning style and is always well prepared with lessons and homework.

Rishi is a wonderful Computer Science Tutor. I came to him when I was stuck on a project at University and as I was in my final year, he was able to tailor all lessons to me and help create a website using Javascript, Java, PHP and SQL. The task was completed in perfect order and Rishi was helping me every step of the way, explaining the code and what is does. I would definitely recommend Rishi to help in any Computer Science related work you may struggle with.
Rishi helped me every step of the way explaining what the code meant when I got stuck.
Good teacher with excellent skills, I would recommend him for my friends and family.
GCSE - English, Mathematics and Science.
Rishi has been teaching me for over 5 years and I never thought I would become the person I am today. I feel privileged to have him as tutor. My grades were at a very low level and I would struggle in my core subjects. As Rishi started tutoring me, I became more confident and saw a change in my self-esteem, learning how to structure and organise my work. As of my latest interim report my teachers have seen a significant change in both my behaviour and my concentration in class. I am now on par with achieving grades 8 and 9 in English, Maths and Science. I cannot thank Rishi enough for his dedication and determination in helping me to change for the better.Subject: ICT
Level: A Level
Rishi covered exam techniques by giving past paper questions along with the way each type of question should be answered. For shorter questions, they had a basic format. For longer questions, Rishi covered them by allowing me to state my points and then adding anything further that could be written too. If I had any questions, he would would give hints to make me think more. If I really couldn't answer a question, he would explain it with great detail. Towards the exam season, Rishi and I would go through past papers together, which was a good approach as I was able to understand a more veriety of questions.
Homework given:
Starting off, the homework was simply to read the ICT book and making notes as well as diagrams. On top of those, he would also urge me to make flashcards with one side having a question and the other side having the answer. As it got closer to the exams, I did 1 or 2 past papers for homework.
Rishi's teaching approach is very friendly and informative. He encourages you to ask questions, which showed to me Rishi was really engaged in lessons.Very talented and knowledgeable tutor
Rishi conducts himself in a very professional manner. Our child always felt at ease in regards to asking any questions or issues he had whilst studying for his GCSE's. With Rishi's tuition, technique and homework material we felt it increased our child's confidence in reaching his maximum ability.
I would not hesitate to recommend Rishi to any parent looking for an outstanding tutor. He is calm, firm and knows how to get the children engaged, and the desire to learn. Thanks to him my children have learnt techniques that have been valuable to their education.
Rishi is an absolute amazing teacher and taught my daughter at gcse level. His way of teaching by asking questions to extend learning and also giving homework which were topic summary mindmaps was an excellent way to teach.He also brough test material and was well prepared when coming to the lessons. My daughter also appreciates that when she did not understand a certain topic ,he would help by providing a step to step flowchart to make it easier for her to understand.All in all i highly reccomend Rishi as he is a fantasic teacher.
Rishi has been tutoring my daughter for over 1 year, preparing her for her GCSE's. The subjects he covered were Maths, English and Science. At the beginning she was easily distracted but with the learning techniques Rishi used, he simplified complex overwhelming tasks, helping her break them down into manageable steps. He was able to adapt to her understanding and learning habits, making sure that she feels more confident than she did in the previous lesson. She now feels that she can confidently structure her paragraphs and cover all necessary points to achieve the highest mark possible. For Maths and Science, she is more confident and enthusiastic about what she studies, finally reaching her milestone of achieving a grade 6.
When we first met Rishi, we werent sure if someone as young as him would be focused enough to take our son through the difficult journey of 11Plus and help deliver an outcome which we, like every parent, desired. Whilst Rishi's technique and dedication helped our son achieve a positive outcome, he also helped boost our son's self esteem and take his confidence to the next level. He remained very sanguine throughout the course and altered his methods of tutoring according to the needs of our son. We consider Rishi as someone who is a perfect tutor and in essence, was godsend. We thank Rishi for for all his help, hardwork and would recommend him to every parent, not only for 11Plus but also for general tuitions.
Rishi was engaged to tutor my son for his final GCSE year originally for Maths and then he was getting good results with my son i asked him to tutor my son in English language and literature and Science. Rishi is very conscientious and connected with my son whereas at school he would have fallen behind. Rishi is punctual, has set lesson plans and is available to pupils should they not understand part of their homework.
I have recommended his service to other parents who have also felt their child has benefited.
I would highly recommend his services and although my son is at college there will come a time next college year whereby he will benefit from additional sessions with Rishi.
Rishi way of teaching does ensure that results are obtained and this is primarily down to his way of teaching.Rishi is a very dedicated tutor who always goes the extra mile to help my son who can be easily distracted.
Initially, we called Rishi for Maths and English tutoring, however, he was able to assist my son in other subjects such as Science, History and Music. This was very useful as I was considering getting another tutor.
He is always willing to help outside of lesson time without an additional charge and is flexible with timings. He is very punctual and has the ability to register to my sons understanding allowing him to learn in challenging environments.
I would recommend Rishi to those who wish to improve their child's confidence and grades. I must say he is a multi-talented individual.I only came across Rishi in December 2017 and since then he was teaching my son for his 11+ entrance exams. With determination he improved my sons grade and worked tirelessly to ensure my son adapts the correct working style. Rishi has an excellent form of teaching, being able to adapt to my sons understanding.
Rishi worked 1:1 with my nephew who suffers from dyslexia for the past three years. We were told by numerous teachers and support workers that he would not be able to get a place in a grammar school due to his low scores. However, Rishi's unique way of teaching and practical skills allowed my nephew to gain the confidence he needs to achieve high! Rishi has great knowledge about the examination board and experience when it comes to 11+ exams.
I wanted to find the best tutor for my son and came across Rishi who looked like he was ready for a challenge. My son who was the lowest performing in his class is now in one of the top sets in his entire year group thanks to Rishi. His method of teaching and interaction with my son was significant towards his progress not only in school but outside of school. His most recent parents evening was outstanding as teachers stated that he had moved up two reading levels which was astonishing.
Overall he is a great tutor and lives nearby, very flexible and most importantly, he makes the lesson fun.View more recommendations
