(Expert Tuition in 11+ CEM Literacy, Maths & Non-Verbal Reasoning, 11+ Scholarship Maths and 11+ Scholarship English)

Fiaz has successfully taught the 11+ CEM format of the exam and prepared children for top independent schools since 2015 and last year had an average mean mark of 235 in the 11+ CEM grammar exam. Children who did the 11+ Scholarship Maths Course had an average mark of 246. The highest Mark was 275. There were also 28 scholarships for independent school entry in 2019 along with a second child to have secured a place at Eton College.

The remote tuition of a limited number of pupils lead to scholarships at St Albans Henrietta Barnet, Bedford School and St Albans Girls as well as KES and KEHS. Fiaz has always enjoyed exam mastery and personal development including completing Mastery University with Anthony Robbins.

Fiaz always loved Mathematics from a young age pursuing it to degree and professional level but he also secured a grade A in English at O Level. He was one of two children nationally who were offered the Shell sponsorship and studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University, taking higher maths options as an integral component on the course. Fiaz subsequently trained as a Chartered Accountant with Delloite and Touche in the City of London and went on to work in US investment banks, in risk management.

After a successful career in investment banking and finance, Fiaz went on to set up a successful software company and was CEO for over ten years appearing in the ETRE (European Technology Roundtable) 2004 global list of top 250 CEO’s. The company diversified into educational software solutions and from 2006 Fiaz has been involved with the 11 Plus as his children started to go through the process and he was disillusioned that no one had a proper syllabus and resources were dated. Fiaz actively taught the current 11 plus syllabus from home for a number of years.

Whilst searching for a premises to set up a new centre to offer quality tuition in 2014, he acquired Solihull Professional Tuition Centre from a retired Head Teacher who is now the patron of the centre in 2014. The centre was a founder member of the Association of Professional Tuition Centres and is also a member of the Tutor’s Association. The goal was to deliver transparent tuition services and motivate children to become the best version of themselves.

Fiaz had a vision to transform the 11+ industry by starting off and maintaining a 100% pass rate by focusing ruthlessly on exam technique, timing mastery and spaced learning of all questions and concepts a child kept getting wrong.

Fiaz holds a belief that through sheer hard work and dedicated commitment to the correct syllabus, any average child can pass the 11 plus if mentored and tutored effectively and now has a track history of endless cases where children have passed the 11plus having been told they will never pass the 11 plus by a previous tutor or school teacher.

Fiaz successfully rolled out the AE Tuition Programme for pupils in 2015, 2016 and then adapted his course to integrate a mock system just before the exam which transformed the mean mark of results.

Fiaz has developed a unique approach to 11+ Creative Writing and Long Comprehension, focusing on providing model answers on how to secure top marks in the 11+ Independent exams. This has been the cornerstone of his many successful pupils who have passed and secured scholarships over the years. For left brain dominant mathematicians struggling to write creatively the course has been a revelation and for right brain dominant children it allows them to excel and perfect exam technique by mastering how to gauge the mark scheme and write at a level way above their peer group to maximise marks. Exam technique and model answers are the key to 11+ success and any examination that a child is ever likely to take. The 11+ Scholarship English Course has model answers for every comprehension paper on the course and for each piece of creative writing on the course.

11plucourse.co.uk and11pluscourse.com are digitally based websites on 11+ courses nationally which can allow any child to have access to explainer video-based content so children and parents can stop, rewind, fast forward explanations on any aspect of the current 11+ CEM format and 11+ Independent exams. Children attending the Solihull Professional Tuition can to be ranked nationally when children sit national Digital Mock Exams for both 11+ CEM examinations and also 11+ Scholarship Maths Papers. This may also be extended to My Learning Club.

Fiaz’s sole focus in this industry now is to empower parents to be able to support their child’s 11+ journey and reinforce at home the exact techniques that are taught in class so as to create the most efficient structure for 11+ knowledge transfer between pupils, parents and the tutor and this in turn can lead to achieving the best possible results year on year and increase the mean average of the course to 250+. The end goal has to be to make 11+ preparation accessible to every home and every single child in the country. 100% Scholarships have been offered on the 11+ CEM Course for some pupils where they do the course without paying any fees and at My Learning Club these will also be available from 2021.
