OUR FAMILIES

Our daughter came out of her mocks with a C — 40% in her pure paper — and needed an A to secure her Oxford offer. The targeted support she needed simply wasn't available to her at school. A fellow St Paul's Girls' parent, already a client of Mandeep's, recommended him in our moment of need. He took us on immediately: twenty-one hour-long sessions across two months, from April up to the final exam in June. He understood what she was finding difficult and why, and explained it clearly and concisely. A group chat meant she could reach him at any hour between sessions, and she always got a full answer quickly. Homework came from the questions that mattered, marked before the next lesson. She was awarded her A. Words cannot do justice to our gratitude. She worked extremely hard — but her renewed enthusiasm and belief came from his exceptional ability to inspire confidence when it was most needed.

He is not only an expert in his field but is also a fantastic teacher. He is very patient and explains things very clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. He also makes the lessons enjoyable and is a great guy! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a maths tutor.

Overall, I found the level of teaching very high. Sessions with Mandeep were very useful and he provided lots of helpful resources to aid me in my IGCSE Maths exam preparation. We focused on topics that I struggled with in school. I felt very confident in the lessons to ask for help when needed and he provided a good level of feedback throughout. Thanks, Mandeep!

Both boys learn and engage very differently, and Mandeep has the versatility to ignite them both. After his first session, my son at Harrow declared he learnt more in that lesson than in all his other maths classes.

His teaching was instrumental in my son's success in passing the 13+ entrance exam for Westminster School. Mandeep supported him throughout, and his preparation made all the difference on the day.

Mandeep supported my daughter through the 16+ entrance exams for top London schools. He was instrumental in preparing her for interviews, which made a significant difference, while also supporting her Maths IGCSE and Further Maths. She secured a place at King's College Wimbledon — her top choice.

Mandeep is the consummate professional and provides exceptional tutoring and mentoring to my daughter. She has recently been accepted to Harvard and Mandeep has been a valued resource and counsel on all academics. As my daughter is a competitive athlete with four A-levels, his strategic time management skills in exam preparation have been invaluable.

Mandeep and the wider team were excellent at quickly identifying areas of weakness and addressing them effectively, with a focus on developing independent learning skills.

My daughter (SPGS) has been studying with The Scholar for her Maths IGCSE Edexcel and has had a very positive experience. She required targeted practice on the most difficult questions to ensure top grades and Mandeep has delivered the right balance of complex questions and explanations to ensure my daughter achieves her goals. I would strongly recommend him.

Mandeep has been an excellent GCSE Maths tutor for our daughter at St Paul's Girls' School. Beyond simply preparing her for exams, he has significantly improved her mathematical comprehension, problem-solving aptitude, and — most importantly — her confidence in the subject. He is calm, patient, highly knowledgeable, and very effective at explaining difficult concepts in a way that genuinely sticks.

Mandeep has made an exceptional difference to all three of our daughters, supporting them from 11+ preparation through to IGCSE and Additional Mathematics. His guidance helped our youngest daughter at Pembridge Hall secure an offer from Wycombe Abbey. He is an outstanding tutor and educational consultant whom we wholeheartedly recommend.

The Scholar matched my daughter with a tutor who has kept her confident and well-grounded in the top maths set, and has stretched her well beyond it. Friendly, patient and available outside lesson time whenever she is stuck — and very organised, with feedback sent to me on WhatsApp after every lesson. Her confidence has been well boosted after only a few lessons, and she absolutely loves her tutor. She tells me her tutor has the best balance between challenging and encouraging.

Mandeep is supporting my daughter in Year 10 with super-curricular mentorship. It has helped her think about the career pathway she may want to follow and, more importantly, develop a deep interest in a few topics and complete her own research projects. She is building a portfolio of work that will strengthen her sixth form and university applications — vital for us, as she hopes to study at an Ivy League university.

Our consultation covered sixth form options, A-level subject choices and university pathways. Mandeep explained A-levels versus the IB in a clear, balanced way. The advice went beyond grades.

Not only does he help her improve her maths, he provides invaluable support in managing her anxiety and stress. His encouragement and positive reinforcement have made a significant difference in her confidence.

Our son had lessons with The Scholar for his IGCSE Edexcel maths and he got an 8 after being predicted a 6! We are based in Monaco, and the online booking system has been a lifesaver.

We are so grateful to have found Mandeep, who is very encouraging and makes difficult problems so much easier to solve.

An excellent teaching approach — very supportive and positive, yet with a great eye to spot any gaps or weaknesses and adjust the sessions accordingly. Highly recommend him for his teaching style, efficiency and keen to bring the best possible result for his students.

We were absolutely delighted that our daughter achieved a Grade 9, and could not be happier with the support she received.

My daughter has been having weekly lessons with The Scholar Tutoring for Year 12 A-level Maths, Edexcel. Mandeep, her tutor has been excellent and already after a few lessons, my daughter's confidence has increased greatly and she has just achieved 100% marks in the most recent Maths test. He is also able to push her in each lesson to try harder and achieve a little more than her comfort zone.

We started the summer with a huge confidence loss from my Gr. 11 IB student after she received her end of year exam results. Mandeep was able to quickly identify the gaps of knowledge and develop a strategy over the course of two months to help her build back up her confidence. She is more prepared for IB Maths at the start of Gr. 12 than she has ever been.

The Scholar Tutoring service is unlike any other support service out there. Not only did my son receive excellent tutoring but the additional effort made by the tutor in getting to know my son and allowing him to reflect on what he specifically needed assistance with is certainly what made the difference in him achieving a fantastic result in his IGCSE Edexcel Maths this year.
He doesn't just teach maths — he builds confidence, sparks curiosity and restores a genuine love for the subject. In just a few sessions we have seen remarkable progress, and she has regained both her confidence and her enjoyment of maths.

Mandeep asked to review my daughter's IA draft before the lesson so he could arrive fully prepared. Every minute of the session was focused, productive and tailored to helping her achieve the best possible outcome.

Our family had the opportunity to collaborate with Mr Mandeep for a few sessions last year in supporting our son for the preparation of his IA in Maths AA standard level for the IB final exams. His engagement and professionalism have been very appreciated. Our son found the sessions very helpful and clarifying, leading him to achieve the desired results.

He explains everything in detail, making even the hardest topics easier to understand, and always makes sure I fully get it before moving on. Thanks to his help, I feel much more confident in maths.

The tutoring strengthened both my mathematical understanding and my approach to problem-solving. I am now going on to study Economics at New York University.

Having a tutor in the UK with A-level experience teaching me remotely has been very helpful. He explains mathematical concepts in a way that makes them easier to grasp.

I have known Mandeep since my time as a student in Year 12, when he tutored me in Pearson Edexcel A-Level Mathematics. His ability to explain complex concepts with clarity and precision was invaluable, and his dedication to preparing carefully tailored material for each lesson ensured that I made strong and consistent progress.
We found Mandeep an excellent tutor, not only for his deep subject expertise, but also his strategic approach in ensuring concepts were understood and any gaps were focused on. This was very helpful to us as parents but also created an enjoyable learning experience for the student. We continue to use Mandeep for our younger child and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
The team at The Scholar come highly recommended without a shadow of a doubt. They were able to support us during IB resits and the tutor's ability to adapt to the student's unique needs and circumstances was excellent. In a surprisingly short time we have seen the student grow in confidence, progress at a rapid rate and accomplish beyond our initial expectations.
