Each of our tutors has been hand-picked or undergone a rigorous application procedure to make it onto our tutoring team.
Many of our founder member tutors have been known to the MST Foundation, Muhammad Ali, personally for many years. We are steadfastly committed to the provision of educational opportunity and possibility for all children and this is reflected in each of our tutors.
As a MST Foundation tutor, there is an expectation that at least some of the tutoring time is given voluntarily. However, this does not imply that our tutors deliver anything less that top class tuition.
Our tutors are not here because they have to be, they are here because they want to contribute to creating a better society and enhancing the outlooks of all children, regardless of their situation.

“I had been seeking an opportunity to offer my services to those of more modest financial means, so Muhammad’s charity came at the perfect time for me. Teaching pro bono is a selfless way to teach those who want and need help most. Knowing my student will benefit from my intervention makes me feel wonderful. I have absolutely no regrets in doing this.”
Michelle Weaving, B.A. (Hons.), P.G.C.E.
These days, it’s all too easy to assume tutors are created equal, when in fact, that is far from the truth. Yes, someone who has passed an exam, or acquired a degree, has a certain amount of knowledge. Yet learning and teaching are very different abilities!
The often-overlooked element in private tuition is experience. One must learn the craft of private tuition, for I believe it to differ greatly from other forms of teaching. To capture attention and accelerate learning and understanding requires a different approach from that which a student experiences day to day at school. It’s something that takes time to develop fully for maximum benefit of the student.
Our tutors have several decades of 1 to 1 tuition teaching experience, during which time they have honed my craft and enjoyed the success stories of a great many students to date. Their passion for learning is something we impart to our students to positive effect.

Beyond tuition, my preferred method is one of tutoring and coaching in equal measure. It’s not uncommon for my students to take the reins and enhance their learning skills by demonstrably teaching the topic themselves. This is just one of many ways in which I work tirelessly to increase student confidence which reaps huge reward both in and outside of academia.
The ability to take a step back and to enable the student to relax and to achieve a mindful state, ready for studying, is key to opening up the mind for learning and inspiration. This also helps us to connect fully with the student as an individual and it’s not uncommon for sticking points to be related to things far removed from the classroom. We spend time to get to know and to understand the fears, concerns and sticking points of our students.
