Haseeb Rahman

I am a final-year Master's student at the University of Bristol, specialising in pure mathematics and 'Foundations of Mathematics'. Most notably, I have tutored undergraduate Mathematics students in naive set theory, abstract algebra, linear algebra, and other modules. Here are my qualifications and professional experience:

Tiffin Grammar School:
GCSEs:
A-levels: A*A*A*A

University of Bristol — notable results:
Statistics: 91
Mathematical Programming: 89
Linear Algebra: 86
Proofs and Group Theory: 80


Professional experience
- 2 years; tutor at Kumon Chessington (centre for gifted and high-achieving students, offering accelerated Maths and English learning)
- 1+ years; private tutor for GCSE and A-level students across Mathematics & Further Maths, Biology, and German.


I provide online tutoring on platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. I also provide at-home tutoring for London-based students, preferably within 5 miles of Whitechapel and with reimbursement for travel expenses.

The listed rate is a guide; final rates depend on the subject and level of study.




Please read the information below to learn more about the philosophies behind the way I teach and how I prioritise efficiency and consolidation, to minimise the time you spend confused and forgetting how things work.



At its core, mathematics is not about proofs or equations, and it is certainly not about mechanically memorising hundreds of different statements. Instead, mathematics is the study of systems: how objects interact, how new objects emerge from these interactions, and how we can understand the properties and behaviour of any given system.

In your classes and during independent study, you may have repetitively followed steps to solve problem sheets, or sat there all night memorising proofs by rote for an exam the following morning.

The thing is, every student has at some point in their life experienced the canon event where a problem just "clicks". That feeling of suddenly understanding the math is not only deeply rewarding and boosts your confidence, but is essential if you wish to become skillful in mathematical problem solving, undertake mathematical research, and get the top grades and qualifications. The power of abstract and mathematical thinking is immensely useful at every stage of your career, no matter how useless it feels to learn Pythagoras' theorem or memorise all the epsilon-delta definitions.

For these reasons, we will work together to build an intuition or a direct sense of the mathematics you are studying, rather than just helping you remember the words written in your textbooks. My lessons will be collaborative and validating, with a key focus on developing your skill in thinking abstractly. Through our work, you will train your ability to directly envision, 'sense', or imagine how maths works, whether you are just starting to learn differentiation, or you're fully stumped by your previous lecture about constructing field extensions using polynomials.

The goal is to be able to directly imagine the maths you are looking at as a living breathing universe, so that a subject that felt like torture becomes a skillset you enjoy building on from here on out.

I look forward to working with you!
