“Mo is the reason I am going to study Economics at Cambridge. Many are able to teach well, but few have the ability to ignite your passion for the subject; I have never come across a more dedicated teacher who genuinely wants his students to do well, often pushing them well beyond their potential with outstanding results. He focuses on understanding, rather than recall, by breaking down complex issues into easy digestible chunks which enables all students, from the weaker to the more able ones to engage in lively and heated debate, hugely strengthening their command of Economics. Combine that with his unparalleled knowledge and commitment to his students, and you have the reason why I achieved an A*. For me his deep passion for the subject has enabled me to achieve things I never thought possible. I am not over exaggerating by saying that he is the best teacher I have ever had.” – Harry Leng, Eton College, Cambridge University

Here are the reasons that make Mo stand out as a first class tutor:

From turning D grades into A’s and A*, or borderline Oxbridge applicants into successful ones, Mo has experience of it all.

• Mo has over 15 years of teaching experience in top UK private day and boarding schools (Eton College, Oundle School, Merchant Taylors’ School, Stephen Perse), which has honed his rare skill of making complex concepts easy to understand.
•  Mo tailors each of his lessons to the specific needs of the pupil. Mo is particularly proud of taking incredible care of each pupil’s weaknesses and turning them into a strength.
• Mo has spent years adjusting his teaching style and approach depending on the pupil in front of him. If one approach does not work for you, he will try different ones, until he finds the right one for you. Click here to see some student and parent testimonials. He believes all students have the ability to learn the material – it just takes that eureka moment for it all to click together!
• After a couple of tutoring sessions with him, he guarantees your confidence with the material will have increased.
• Mo firmly believes all pupils are capable of a top grade, with the right focus, nudging and encouragement – and crucially, as long as the material is explained clearly and repeatedly.
• Mo has high expectations and by raising the bar to meet them, you will realise you can achieve much more than you believed possible.
• Mo is very patient and skilled at teaching those who are struggling with the subject, to those who want more advanced tutoring for example for Oxbridge.
• Mo has many years’ worth of experience both in the classroom and private tutoring that he is yet to meet a pupil who he cannot explain even the most complicated concepts to.

• It is not just 14-18 year olds who Mo has tutored – he has been heavily involved in tutoring CEOs and C-suite level professionals, who wish to improve their grasp of economics and geo-politics, from macroeconomics to corporate finance. 
• Mo also helps prospective undergraduates put together strong university applications, from Oxbridge to international applications. From advising how to pursue intellectual enrichment, to building strong Personal Statements, to preparing for interviews, Mo offers the full range of services that covers a student’s application from the first exploratory steps to the final real interview – to help put your best foot forward. Mo runs Critical Thinking Accelerators as well as mock interview workshops and bespoke Personal Statement guidance. 
• More recently, he has helped students apply for Masters and PhD programmes, e.g. MSc in Finance at Oxford and LBS.

As one student said: “Mo was a truly inspiring teacher and mentor throughout my university application to Cambridge. I particularly enjoyed his mock interviews as they gave me a representative insight into what the interviews are like, which allowed me attend the Cambridge interviews with confidence. I benefited from his guidance on what and how to read before the interviews, and he introduced me to advanced Economic topicsthat I was able to incorporate in both my interviews and personal statement. Thank  you for all the guidance and individual attention throughout the application, it clearly made a huge difference for my application.”

He also offers preparation for corporate interviews in the sectors of finance, investment banking and management consultancy.
