Help your teen develop the skills and mindset to excel in exams and flourish beyond the classroom

Hello there I am Saira

I help IGCSE and IAS Business Studies students prepare for their EDEXCEL exams so they can reach their target grade.

Many students believe the Business exam is just ‘common sense’. In reality, success requires exercising the right ‘exam muscles’ – practicing how to apply knowledge to case studies, think critically, and structure answers under exam conditions. Without building these skills, even bright students can fall short of their potential, leaving teens stressed and parents feeling helpless.

My approach equips students with the skills, mindset, and strategies to achieve progress and grow into confident, independent learners.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

What I Provide → What Your Teen Gains

• Focused instruction on exam content and technique → Ability to structure answers the way examiners expect

• Guided exam practice → Confidence applying knowledge under timed conditions

• Tailored support based on learning style and strengths → Personalised strategies that make study time effective

• Feedback and reflection → Clear progress and stronger exam performance

• Mindset coaching for resilience and self-awareness → Critical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence that last beyond the classroom

I’m a qualified teacher with 9+ years’ experience, having taught at outstanding schools in the UK & UAE, and hold an official private tutor permit. My tutoring is values-led, high-quality, and focused on results.

My tutoring is best suited to students who are preparing to sit their EDEXCEL exams and do not require special educational support. All sessions are delivered online, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. I work with a few students each term to ensure sessions are tailored, focused, and impactful.

If you’re a parent – or a student – looking for high quality, values led academic support, you’re invited to apply for a free online academic consultation to explore fit and next steps.

This is a chance for us to see whether we make a strong teacher–parent–student team. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your teen’s educational goals, I’ll make an initial assessment and suggest a personalised action plan.

Spaces are limited, and consultations are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. There’s no obligation to proceed. I’ll provide a rate card of different support options for your consideration. Investment starts from AED 150/hr for off peak bundle sessions, with one-off support and marking services also available. You can mix and match according to your need.

Testimonials

It was very helpful to have my exam papers marked. This, and the feedback Saira gave on each question, helped me see how I was progressing, and where I needed to focus my revision. This improved my subject knowledge and exam technique within a short amount of time.

Saira was a great support for my daughter’s IGCSE Business Studies. We approached her very close to the exams and she accepted to tutor my daughter. My daughter particularly benefitted from Saira marking her papers and giving her tailored feedback that she could use in the next paper. My daughter was able to improve several grades within a short space of time. All with a genuine, caring and supportive approach, whilst also holding the student accountable and letting them see what they’re capable of. And communications with Saira is always pleasant, respectful and quick. Thank you Saira!
