Extremely professional and a seasoned tutor with extensive experience. Look no further!
Umer tutored my son for 7+ exams for about a year. I would like to describe his approach in 3 areas:
1- Persona / Problem / Opportunity Identification: In that phase Umer analysed how is my son as a persona and tried to understand how he can create a fun environment where he can learn maths. While doing that he also found out his potential strengths and weaknesses and design the roadmap accordingly.
2- Adaptive Tutoring Roadmap: To reach the results and making a fun and enjoyable experience at the same time, he constantly adapt his teaching style accordingly. Once he faced with a bottleneck, he overcame it with the most favourable solution. And in our case, he managed that when things were constantly changing with the COVID. I think he has this skill because he is not only teaching but always monitoring his students' behaviours so he knows how to identify potential bottlenecks earlier and how to overcome them by using the adequate techniques.
3- Results: Our main goal was providing our son a fun learning environment and we achieved it with Umer, plus our son got offer with couple of offers from the schools that he sit exams for entry.Umer’s dedication to his students is incomparable. With his immense experience, students get exceptional tutoring in their allocated time. He develops an excellent rapport early on, and is very motivational. He tailors lessons professionally to meet the needs of his students. I can’t recommend him enough!
Umer has dedicated his time to tutoring over the last 12 years and has helped students from all levels to achieve their potential. He is extremely reliable, professional and qualified. Highly recommended!
Umer is a great tutor and he helped us with preparing our child for 7+ test at some of the top schools in London. My daughter really gets along with him which helps at that age. We are rather new to London so have no idea of the expectations and level required. He would talk to us about our child’s progress and also discuss what else we need to focus on. Would recommend him!
Umer has offered support for years since I was in Year 8 at Sutton Grammar. He is very professional and has helped me plan my career (grades, uni selection, UCAS application). He is the top man you’ve been looking for. Look no further!
Umer has offered tremendous support to both my boys for their AP exams. He has extensive knowledge of US university admissions and helped streamline the entire university application process for us. Both my boys are ever so grateful to Umer for his proactive guidance, stellar support and unique teaching style.

We have had two very positive experiences with Umer, firstly a year ago when he prepared my younger son with the 16+ entry assessment exams at a prestigious West London Independent School and then with my older son who required an A* in A-Level Further Maths to satisfy the conditional offer to study Mathematics at a top London University. With Further Maths, Umer adopted a very structured and yet tailored approach that suited my son’s very individual needs. He was able to explain complex topics clearly and the hand pick homework questions provided just the right amount of challenge to test his understanding and this enabled him to learn the topics very quickly with the syllabus being fully covered months before he was due to sit his exams. My son benefited from the concise notes that Umer would write when explaining new concepts which helped improve his understanding and served as an aide memoir during the crucial revision period. With Umer’s help both sons are more organised with their studies and revision as they now realise the benefits of working smarter and not harder. I cannot thank Umer enough for all his help with the boys and would highly recommend him to others!
Umer helped our son with Chemistry, Physics and Maths at GCSE level. He really is incredibly knowledgeable and it is plain to see his passion for these subjects. His approach was methodical and tailored to our sons needs. There was a significant improvement in test results across all of these subjects. We were very impressed with Umer, in particular how much he loves the subjects he teaches. This instilled motivation and a positive attitude in our son when he was struggling with these subjects.
Umer is an excellent tutor who really cares about his students. He is a great motivator and his enthusiasm is contagious. He strives to bring out the best in you ensuring you achieve excellent results. I highly recommend him.
Fantastic tutor. Pinpoints the students weaknesses early on and tailors lessons to suit whatever needs the students want. Also brilliant with IT and makes sure the student has access to all the criteria covered in the lessons as well. Lessons are focused and Umer is approachable with any questions or worries throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable ‘experience’.
Umer is an outstanding tutor who goes the extra mile for his students. He is genuinely interested in getting the best from his students and very quickly identifies where in the subject the student needs help and concentrates on that using questions, sample paper questions, preset work for next lesson etc. He is friendly, super organised and a gifted mathematician. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him for this subject.
Umer provided much more than a safety net for GCSE and A Level studies. He is thorough, knowledgeable and identifies gaps within a short timeframe and then develops a plan to address the gaps. Regular progress reporting and updates are insightful and allows you to see progress made. He is easy to work with and a genuinely lovely person
Umer has been helping my son with his KS3 Maths. He pushes his thinking hard and provides him exposure to GCSE-style questions so that he is not just covering the core curriculum but also getting ready for the GCSEs in a couple of years. Umer has also helped us with school advice and setting the overall career trajectory for all my kids. Thanks every so much!
Umer has offered consistent support across Sciences and Maths throughout the last 2.5 years. He has dedicated himself to supporting me even during holidays / difficult time zones that I have travelled to. I have seen consistent improvement in my grades and received positive feedback from my Dons. Umer has a very clear idea of how to approach tutoring for boarding school students and runs his study programme to fully complement the support from school. He continuously pushes my thinking to the next level so that progress never stalls. Thanks for all your commitment!
Umer tutored me throughout my A Levels, he is excellent at adapting his teaching to and individual style of learning. He is very patient, and has an understanding approach. Not only did he help me achieve incredible predicted grades, but was very involved in my university prep, he helped me with interviews, my personal statement and was overall an amazing source of encouragement. He is a very active tutor, sending you work by email that targets any weak points, and his lesson plans are very structured and will keep you organised and feeling secure with your syllabus. He is very friendly, and will make learning very enjoyable. Despite not having any A Level exams this year, his tutoring has put me in a very secure place as he has helped me achieve good results throughout the 2 years. Would recommend his tutoring to anyone that needs academic help.
Umer supported me for my final 2 years at Southbank. He has deep knowledge of Maths and Econ, and also helped me tremendously with my IAs (even for other subjects). He provided help in developing my personal statement and helped me get offers from 4 out of my 5 universities of choice. I would certainly recommend him to all students from Southbank and ACS!
Umer has supported me throughout my time at Tiffin. I was able to score straight 9s in my GCSEs for all the subjects that he tutored me for. He also helped me develop my personal statement which got me an offer for Economics at Cambridge (St. John’s). He even helped me with entrance test and interview prep. which got me a conditional offer! I am so indebted to all Umer has done for me. Look no further. He is the tutor you need!!!
Thank you for helping Omar, I appreciate the time you have spent with Omar to support and to let him achieved his goals.
The way you explain and teach is wonderful, I am really glad that you are our tutor .Umer was one of the best tutors I’ve had, after trying a range of tutors. He always tried to find time to tutor and help me, even outside the lesson. His maths knowledge tends to infinity as well as chemistry and physics. I was very blessed, as a Hamptonian, to find him.
We requested Umer's support for the final 12 weeks leading to St. Paul's, Latymer's and LEH 11+ exams in January 2020. He made himself available over the holiday period and was extremely valuable in equipping her with techniques and approaches to build speed, enhance accuracy and successfully attempt the last few very difficult questions that come up in these exams. His approach was to provide simple frameworks that decode difficult questions and help with confidence building. Thanks for all your help Umer! I have already referred you to 3 of my colleagues at Barts.
My son M received an offer from Winchester College in Sergeant’s yesterday! We are absolutely thrilled!! Umer was extremely invested in preparing him for his entrance test and interview, offering tips and sharing experience from his previous students at Winchester (including insight on the Housemaster!). This really helped amplify our child's confidence. To date, Umer has helped M gain offers from all his targeted schools: Eton, Winchester, Charterhouse, RGS and Reigate. We are eternally grateful to Umer for all his support and dedication.
I have full confidence on Umer. He has a vast experience
Umer has been an exceptional tutor from GCSEs through to A levels. He has helped me secure an A* in both qualifications and knows the art of explaining very complex concepts in a simple manner.
