Inspiring and Engaging Mathematics Specialist
My name is Amir Saei, and I am an award-winning, qualified mathematics teacher and subject specialist. I hold a Master's in Mathematics from the University of Warwick, a Mathematics PGCE from the UCL Institute of Education, and a MicroMasters from MIT in Data, Economics, and Design of Policy. Before dedicating myself to full-time private tuition, I taught at Eton College and Cambridge Education Group and served as a teaching assistant for courses led by Nobel Laureates at MIT.
With extensive global experience, I've had the privilege of teaching hundreds of students from over 60 countries. My expertise spans a diverse array of curricula, age groups, and student needs—from young learners to university-level students, ranging from those struggling with the basics to contenders in national mathematics competitions, and everything in between.
For me, teaching transcends the mere transmission of knowledge; it’s about igniting a lasting enthusiasm for mathematics and broader scholarly pursuits. In addition to improving understanding, confidence, and passion for mathematics, I imbue students with qualities that extend well beyond their mathematics education. This includes enhancing their ability to think critically, reason abstractly, articulate thoughts concisely, develop sharp analytical skills, and apply knowledge across various contexts.
In addition to teaching, I specialise in guiding students to secure placements at the world’s most prestigious schools and universities, with a particular focus on UK and US institutions, including Oxbridge, the Russell Group, and the Ivy League. Additionally, I have a wealth of experience in mentoring students, preparing them for success in school, university, and their future careers.
In closing, I firmly believe that mastery in mathematics has an impact far beyond one's mathematics education. Mathematics permeates every field of scientific endeavour, from helping explain the colours of the sunset, to the architecture of our brains. It plays a pivotal role in all aspects of modern society, including finance, economics, and artificial intelligence, to name a few. I believe that prioritising one’s mathematics education is vital to the future prospects of an individual and the position they will play in society. But aside from utility, mathematics, when understood, is inspiring and fun. As Bertrand Russell wrote in Mysticism and Logic (1918) “Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty".
