Shumaila Mahmood
"True success in Science isn't just about how much you know; it's about the confidence to apply it and the mindset to succeed."
With 17 years of teaching experience, including time spent in highly competitive grammar schools, I know exactly what holds capable students back. Holding a PGCE in Science alongside an NLP certification and extensive mindset program training, my approach bridges the gap between scientific theory and peak exam performance.
Sound Familiar?
Overwhelmed By Content
The science syllabus is massive. Your child is working hard, but they feel like they are drowning in facts, leading to inconsistent revision and anxiety.
Weak Exam Technique
They know the theory but don't do well in exams. They drop marks on multi-step questions because they don't know exactly what the examiner is looking for.
Stuck at Grade 5-7
They have the ability to hit the top grades (8-9), but a lack of confidence and targeted strategy is holding them back from their full potential.

Hear From Our Parents & Students
Level 5 to Level 8 in Chemistry!
"When we first started with Shumaila, my son was at a level 5 in Chemistry, with lots of gaps in his knowledge... She wasn't just a teacher — she built his confidence. On results day, my son achieved a level 8 and even secured a place at one of London’s top sixth forms."
From Level 5 to 8 in 5 Months
"As a dad, I didn't really know how to best support my son with Chemistry... That's where Shumaila made such a difference. She gave him the belief that he could succeed... The result speaks for itself: from a level 5 to a level 8 in just 5 months — one of the top 6 achievers in his whole school."
Failing to 6, 6, 7!
"I achieved 6 6 7 from failing all of them in year 10 end of years. I really did appreciate all the help I was given over year 11. The videos being able to explain things my teachers weren't able to and the fact I could revisit them whenever was really useful."
C Grade to an A Grade!
"Shumaila was my private tutor in Biology for my second year of A-Levels... She had a great depth of understanding of A level Biology and was able to explain the material in a manner that made it easier for me to absorb. At the end of my A2 year, I had converted my C grade to an A grade."
Passed All Science Papers
"Struggling with dyspraxia and processing issues he had found science particularly challenging... Her patient, calm, persistent and thoughtful approach made all the difference. She understood that each child learns differently and used NLP to tailor her teaching. He went on to pass all his science papers."
Low Grade to 7-8 in Mocks
"She started with a very low grade and now after attending your class, not only she has a 7-8 on her Mock exam but you have helped her in building her confidence. There are many people that are doing the job that you do but not many as passionate and caring as you."
Engaging & Interesting Lessons
"Shumaila is an absolutely brilliant science teacher... She took the time to get to know me and understand how I learn best. Science does not come naturally to me so she always put it in a context that I do understand. I find her lessons to be engaging and interesting."
"You Have The Magic"
"She enjoys her lessons with you. I believe her application of knowledge is improving and she is showing more interest. She complained about the teaching at school but feels you have the magic."
Makes Science Enjoyable
"Thank you, she said you quickly figured out that her challenge was the application of knowledge. She says your approach will make her like Science. Thank you once again."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this for students currently at a grade 5 or 6?
Yes — this is our exact specialty. Taking motivated but underperforming GCSE Science students from Grades 5-7 to top Grades 8-9 is what we do best. We bridge the gap between knowing basic theory and executing high-level exam strategy.
2. How does the 1-2-1 coaching work in a group program?
While the core syllabus and exam techniques are taught in targeted group classes and pre-recorded videos, every student gets a dedicated 30-minute 1-2-1 coaching session each month. This time is specifically reserved for NLP mindset coaching, addressing individual bottlenecks, and building confidence.
3. What subjects do you cover?
We specialise strictly in KS3, GCSE, and A-Level Science. By focusing purely on scientific subjects, we deliver highly targeted, examiner-level strategies that guarantee a jump of at least 2 grades.
