About Marat

I'm 21 and I've been sitting exams pretty much non-stop for six years — GCSEs, A-levels, then a three-year engineering degree. Recent enough that I still remember what the week before a paper actually feels like.

Outside of that I'm a kickboxer. Three-time BUCS champion, European Cup bronze, second degree black belt, and I've been coaching for five years — I'm now head coach of the Cypriot national youth team.

Coaching is where I properly learnt to teach. You can't explain a technique the same way to everyone, and you find out fast whether it landed, because either they can do it or they can't. Maths is the same. If someone isn't getting it, that's usually on my explanation, not on them.

Competing also taught me that you can prepare for months and still have a bad day if you don't handle the pressure. That part is its own skill, and it's a big part of how I work with students.

About the lesson

My lessons are built around three pillars: understanding the subject properly, knowing how papers are structured and how to attack them, and revising in a way that actually works.

The first is depth. Not just what the method is, but why it works and when to use it. Knowing the method alone won't get you full marks on a hard paper — the moment a question is phrased in an unfamiliar way, you need to understand what's going on underneath.

The second is the paper itself. Exam papers are more predictable than they look. They follow the same structure year after year and reward specific things, so a lot of it is pattern recognition: spotting what a question is really asking, knowing what to apply and where, and setting out your working so you pick up method marks even if the final answer goes wrong.

The third is the one I think matters most: revision. Most revision fails because it feels productive rather than being productive — rereading notes, redoing the topics you're already fine at, then burning out in the last three weeks. So we plan it. Which topics are genuinely weak, in what order, and coming back to them later instead of covering them once and moving on. Every lesson ends knowing what to do before the next one, and starts by checking whether it worked.

I teach Maths and Further Maths, from primary and Key Stage 3 up to GCSE, A-level and IB, plus first-year university engineering maths. With younger students it's less about exam technique and more about solid fundamentals and confidence, so the harder years don't come as a shock later.

I'm a First Class Aerospace Engineering graduate from Bath, with A* in Maths and A* in Further Maths at A-level, and I'm heading to a master's at the University of Toronto.

More relevant than the grades: I've been coaching martial arts for five years, one-to-one and in groups, and I'm head coach of the Cypriot national youth kickboxing team. Five years of adjusting how I explain things depending on who's in front of me.

Lessons are an hour as standard, or 90 minutes closer to exams when we're doing full papers. All lessons are online.

My aim is that by exam day you don't need me.

I've known Marat for 5 years through kickboxing. He's now head coach of the Cypriot national youth team, which means selecting and preparing athletes for international competition — not a job you get handed at his age without being good at it. He's organised, he explains things in a way people actually understand, and he's reliable. Given his engineering background I'd expect him to be an excellent maths tutor.
