Fifteen years spent on the years that matter most.
One-to-one mentoring in Mathematics and the Sciences — IGCSE, IB and Cambridge, in Mumbai and online.
The difference isn't effort. It's what the effort is aimed at.
Grades follow understanding, and understanding follows discipline — most tuition stops at the first sentence.
Meet Your Academic Mentor
Before you reach out, a short introduction — who this mentoring is for, and how it works.
The Student Journey
Same student. Six stages. A different trajectory by the end.
Confused Student

Confidence
Exam anxiety eases; problems stop feeling like threats.
Independent Learning
Works through new problems without hand-holding.
Academic Excellence
Consistent results, sat with genuine understanding.
What's taught, and where.
Mathematics
Grades 9–12
Physics
Grades 9–12
Chemistry
Grades 9–10
Biology
Grades 9–10
Numbers, not adjectives.
Including multiple Cambridge board toppers, across students in Mumbai and abroad.
Real students. Real progress.
From Self-Doubt to Independent Learning
Lacked confidence and struggled academically.
Understood how she learns before touching the syllabus, then rebuilt concepts alongside confidence.
Studying independently and answering tricky questions with confidence, within months.
"What impressed us most was that Riyaz Sir understood how she learns before focusing on the syllabus. Within months she became capable of studying independently and answering tricky questions confidently."— Anjali, Parent
- Independent learner
- Strong confidence
- Better academic performance
Making Difficult Subjects Feel Simple
Complex concepts felt overwhelming.
Focused on conceptual understanding, patience and clarity instead of rushing through chapters.

Trusted by Parents
Parents wanted a mentor, not just another tutor.
Long-term mentoring, clear communication and personal attention.
Confidence in both academic progress and personal growth.
"Riyaz Shaikh is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend him for IGCSE."— Mansi, Parent
- Parent trust
- Premium mentoring
- Long-term relationships
Fifteen years, one focus.
Riyaz Shaikh mentors students one-to-one through Grades 9 to 12, across the IGCSE, IB, Cambridge and international curricula — treating each student as an individual case, not a syllabus to complete.
Mumbai, one-to-one
Began mentoring individually, then extended into IB, Cambridge and international curricula.
Teaching online
Began mentoring students across the UK, Japan, Oman, UAE and China.
Mentoring, full-time
The same one-to-one approach, refined over fifteen years of results.
Before you reach out.
IGCSE, IB, Cambridge and international curricula, for Grades 9 through 12, in Mathematics and the Sciences.
Both. In-person sessions run in Mumbai; online sessions are held for students in the UK, Japan, Oman, UAE, China and elsewhere.
Every plan is personalised to the student's current level, board and timeline — this is discussed directly before mentoring begins.
Fees depend on grade, board and format, and are discussed personally on a first conversation — message directly to find out.
Start with a short conversation on WhatsApp. There's no obligation — it's simply to understand where your child currently stands.
No pressure. Just a clear next step.
WhatsApp conversation
A short, no-obligation message to understand what your child needs.
Parent discussion
A call or chat to talk through goals, board, and current standing.
Student assessment
A short, low-pressure session to see where your child truly stands.
Personalised learning plan
A plan built around the student's board, pace and gaps — not a template.
Long-term mentorship
Ongoing sessions focused on results, confidence and independence.
Fifteen minutes is usually enough to know if this is the right fit for your child.
