Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

With over 24 years of experience, I have taught A-Level, GCSE, IGCSE, and SAT/ACT Maths to students worldwide. My journey includes both classroom teaching and online tutoring for native and bilingual learners from Europe, the USA, China, and the Middle East. As an Examiner and former ACT, SAT Coordinator, I bring a deep understanding of exam requirements to every session.

Tutoring Approach

I begin by assessing the student’s current knowledge using mock exams or past papers to identify gaps. Based on this evaluation, I tailor a program that focuses on their specific weaknesses, ensuring targeted and effective learning. I use my own materials to guide sessions, promoting active engagement rather than passive relearning.

I prioritize an interactive teaching style, encouraging students to talk and think through problems more than I do. This approach fosters deeper understanding and critical thinking. Customized homework is assigned regularly, and mock exams are provided monthly to track progress. I meticulously log student results, including homework and exam scores, and review these with them to ensure consistent improvement. If a student’s progress stalls, I have open discussions to identify challenges and address them effectively while encouraging consistent revision. Clear communication with the company ensures alignment and regular updates on the student’s progress, creating a collaborative and transparent process that supports their success.

Ramazan, Maths student

"We studied A Level Statistics with Oktay teacher. He has a very good command of the subject and knows very well what to explain and how to explain it according to my level. After understanding the subject and then solving questions from past papers and homework assignments, I got A* from A level Statistics. Thank you very much Oktay teacher."

Karina, A-Level Statistics student

"I feel very lucky to take lessons from my teacher Oktay... His superior experience and fluency in lecturing carried me to very high levels. Thank you, Oktay teacher."

Betul, Maths student

"He works very devotedly. He answers all my questions and while lecturing, he explains the points I do not understand over and over again. After the lesson, he solves the homework assignments on WhatsApp and sends them to me, and if necessary, he reminds me again before starting the new lesson. I am very happy with his performance in the online classes I take, the applications he uses and the way he shares notes/books with me are also great. He is very patient, he knows very well what he is doing and how the subject should be explained according to my level. I am glad I met Oktay and took lessons from him. I am very satisfied and I recommend him to all my friends."
