a************d (1 Sunday, 31 January 2021 )shah helped me to pass my aptitude tests to join the New Zealand defense force. I have always struggled with math so to have someone break it down for me in a way that I understood was very helpful.
m******7 (1 Tuesday, 4 August 2020 )Thank you Shah for tutoring me with NZ Defence Force Aptitude tests! Shah has a very approachable method of tutoring and uses easy concepts to translate complex ideas, we manage to cover a large amount of content in an hour long session and the tutoring is some of the best I have had as an adult learner. Would recommend FUNNEMATHICS for anyone needing that extra boost in their mathematics.
l*****n (854 Sunday, 8 March 2020 )Thank you Shah for your tutoring of my son Dan (Year 11 last year). After failing his mock exams we got in touch with Shah, who saw straight away where Dan's gaps and problems were. Calculus was the main aim, with Tables, Graphs & Equations a close second. Dan ended up with Excellence in Calculus and Merit in Tables, Graphs & Equations - a wonderful outcome, thank you so much.
h*****a (4 Tuesday, 25 February 2020 )Both my boys have been seeing Shah for a couple of years now and he is amazing! Both my kids were struggling with maths and he has turned that all around. My boys are now in years 12 & 13 and they both speak really highly of how patient he is and how easy he is to understand - highly recommended.
b*****u (33 Sunday, 26 January 2020 )Shah is an efficient teacher, friendly, he's very experienced math tutor, my daughter is quite enjoy learning from him, he's fun, highly recommend.
s**********a (92 Thursday, 23 January 2020 )Shah helped my daughter's ( year 11 ) NCEA level 1 math exam. She recovered her confidence in math by having tutoring with Shah and achieved Merit which she did not expect. Thank you Shah.
n*******1 (8 Thursday, 23 January 2020 )Shah is an excellent tutor. He is knowledgeable, very experienced and adapts his lessons to the student’s individual needs. My son found him very approachable and helped him to understand maths in a fun and enjoyable way. He feels confident and ready to sit his maths exams after tutoring sessions with Shah. We would highly recommend him.
a****l (390 Monday, 20 January 2020 )Shah tutored our daughter in Y11 maths last year. She started at a poor level, with no confidence and difficulties understanding her class teacher. We were all thrilled with her NCEA results of merits! Shah was great, and our daughter enjoyed the group sessions, totally recommend, will be returning this year.
j******w (140 Friday, 11 October 2019 )Shah has a very relaxed but encouraging tutoring style. My daughters marks improved greatly and she got to a place where she felt confident going into her Math examinations. I would highly recommend Shah to any math student needing some extra help.
t*****k (10 Sunday, 8 July 2018 )Shah is a fantastic tutor. The lessons move at a good pace, and he makes concepts I previously found difficult seem easy.
s*****f (402 Monday, 27 November 2017 )Our son currently Y8 doing IB loves Maths and has always done well. He felt the need to be challenged more and wanted to lift his results even further. He started tuition with Shah and within a couple of weeks in his next Assessments, he scored the coveted '8.' His tutor session with Shah the highlight of his week, he loves exploring ideas with Shah and finds Shah incredibly kind and motivating and his teaching technique practical, simple and thorough. The best Tutor ever!!! :):):)
i*****e (11 Wednesday, 4 October 2017 )Our Year 11 son started the year lacking confidence and achieving average results. Since starting his private tuition, with help from Shah, his school results have immensely improved to near A grade and his understanding and enjoyment of Cambridge Maths has grown. We would definately recommend Shah and we hope the end of year results will be testiment to his teaching
g*******e (17 Monday, 17 July 2017 )Shah has been working with my year 10 son, who has been struggling with Math, for around 6 weeks now. Two weeks ago my son sat a Math exam which would give him 4 NCEA credits towards his NCEA next year and he passed. I highly recommend Shah. He is patient and is definitely helping my son's understanding of math.
o***c (0 Friday, 14 July 2017 )I am in the process of studying for the NZ Defence Force aptitude tests, so the high school maths revision was quite daunting for me, as high school was a while ago! :) Shah has a very personal approach and makes you feel comfortable straight away, making the learning process fun, using concepts or examples that you can relate to. He has been very flexible and understanding of my situation and has tailored our sessions to focus on my requirements. Highly recommend this tutor!
a******9 (103 Thursday, 11 May 2017 )My daughter is a bright student in all areas. Her progress in Maths has always been good, but even so, we feel that school leaves gaps in knowledge, in Maths in particular. As individual questions remain unanswered and the teacher has to skip to new topics, students’ stress levels increase unnecessarily. I am glad we came across Shah’s ad and I am pleased with the way he tutors my daughter. As the gaps are filled in, her confidence increases. We look forward to more sessions throughout the year.
v*****t (90 Tuesday, 9 May 2017 )Shah helped my 18-year-old son with his SAT maths study. After reading the other reviews here, I can only concur with them. My son looked forward to the sessions (a first!) and even said he was disappointed when the SAT test date came because they would have to end! He really appreciated the way Shah could break problems down to explain them clearly and also made the maths tutoring enjoyable at the same time. I would say he has a gift and would recommend to others with no hesitation.
Trader responded Friday, 12 May 2017Thank you for your kind words. Joel is a keen and focused student who had set his eyes on improving his SAT score. That kept him interested and look forward to my tutorials. I wish him best for his future. All the best!
g*****y (231 Sunday, 12 March 2017 )Brilliant tutor. Boosted my confidence in A Level mathematics. Highly recommended.
l******e (179 Wednesday, 15 February 2017 )Shah was an excellent tutor for my daughter when she was struggling with NCEA level 2 maths. He lifted her confidence and enabled her to pass with a Merit. I would thoroughly recommend him and will definitely return if extra tuition is needed again. Thanks so much Shah
j***7 (9 Monday, 21 November 2016 )Shah is an excellent tutor. He gets to know his students and tailors his lessons according to their level of understanding, as well as their needs and disposition. He is knowledgeable and very experienced - yet he helps the student understand by making the lessons simple, fun and enjoyable. My son always comes away from Shah's lessons in a better mood and frame of mind.
m*****1 (24 Thursday, 17 November 2016 )My son has been going to Shah's tutor for a while now, and with the up coming of NCEA exams,my son told me Shah has helped him greatly by boosting his confidence in preparing for his math exams. My son also said that he could easily understand the IB maths and physics that shah is teaching him for next year.
j**********6 (15 Wednesday, 16 November 2016 )My daughter has been tutored by Shah for a couple of months and her confidence has continued to grow after each session. She always feels very comfortable asking questions if she is unsure of a topic and feels that Shah answers her questions clearly.This additional tutoring has reflected in her school results. Karen

c****l (178 Monday, 3 October 2016 )I could not have asked for a better math tutor than Shah. He adds a perfect balance of seriousness and fun in the lessons. As someone who struggles with maths it was a surprise to find someone who can explain maths in a very understandable way. :D
l*******4 (32 Tuesday, 27 September 2016 )Shah has been tutoring my son for all of last term. My son is doing Level 1 NCEA and finds Maths a challenge. Since being with Shah he has a better grasp of Maths and we are looking forward to some great results at the end of the year.
m*******5 (8 Friday, 23 September 2016 )My daughter is doing NCEA Level 1 and started with Shah mid way through this term.

s*******1 (349 Sunday, 10 April 2016 )Our son was looking for a tutor that could support him in receiving a top grade in A2 level maths. Shah has been very capable of providing him with extra help he wanted within a relaxed and easy going environment. We will continue to use Shah for the rest of the year and we have no doubt it will be reflected in our sons end of year results.

_*********_ (444 Monday, 1 June 2015 )Having no calculus and algebra background throughout high school it was a big shock to me when taking my first stage 1 maths paper at UOA.
