Sheikh has over eight years of experience teaching Mathematics and more than 5,000 hours of private tuition, supporting students from school entrance level through to competitive university admissions.
His specialist areas include:
- GCSE, iGCSE, A Level and Further Mathematics
- 11+ and 13+ selective school entrance preparation
- TMUA, MAT, ESAT and STEP preparation
- Advanced problem-solving and mathematical reasoning
- Examination technique and assessment strategy
- Support for students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD
Alongside his private tuition work, Sheikh has senior leadership experience in Mathematics at a leading London secondary school. His understanding of curriculum design, assessment frameworks and examination requirements allows him to provide precise and carefully targeted support.
He has particular expertise in developing advanced problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning and the techniques required for demanding admissions assessments. His experience as an examiner also gives him detailed insight into mark schemes, assessment objectives and common errors that can limit student performance.
Sheikh is particularly effective at stretching high-achieving students while maintaining clarity, confidence and steady academic progress. Tuition is available both online and in person.
Sheikh’s approach is calm, structured and highly analytical. He begins by identifying the student’s current level, strengths, areas of uncertainty and wider academic goals before creating a clear and realistic programme.
His lessons place strong emphasis on genuine mathematical understanding rather than memorising procedures. Students are encouraged to explain their reasoning, recognise patterns and develop flexible approaches to unfamiliar problems.
For examination students, Sheikh combines subject teaching with careful work on timing, question interpretation and exam strategy. His experience as an examiner enables him to provide precise feedback and help students understand what assessment criteria require.
He also adapts his teaching carefully for students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD, using clear explanations, repetition and structured methods where appropriate.
Sheikh encourages students to ask questions, test ideas and gradually become more confident and independent mathematicians.
