Online tutoring
for ages 8-18, from Primary School to A-Levels, founded by Mohammed Niazul
Hassan.
Powered Tutoring started from Mohammed’s own experiences with tutoring - both as a tutor, and as a student who was tutored. When they were tutored, they saw how much personalised help could make a difference in understanding and confidence. Later, as a tutor themselves, they realized how rewarding it was to help others succeed. Those experiences inspired Mohammed to create a service that provides tailored support, helping students overcome challenges and reach their full potential. It all began in summer 2024 when they had a lot of free time to make their vision a reality with the goal of making learning more effective and empowering for every student.
Mohammed
received the £500 Start-Up Fund grant to cover marketing costs and other
administrative charges.
What are the best and worst aspects of running your own business?
Mohammed told
us that: “The best part of running Powered Tutoring has been the excitement of
building something from the ground up. Setting it up was a fun challenge -
figuring out the systems, creating a brand, and seeing it all come together.
Most rewarding, though, is seeing students improve and gain confidence in their
abilities: Knowing I’m making a real difference in their education feels
incredible.” Mohammed spoke about the difficulties they faced, particularly
around the intricacies of navigating a business with co-founders. They told us how
crucial it is to consider who you are appointing as a co-founder and the
potential impact this can have on your business. They said it is important to
choose the right people to work with, who share similar values regarding
building and growing a business; that addressing these challenges early on is
essential to avoid unnecessary setbacks. They wish they knew this before
starting Powered Tutoring.
What has been your biggest takeaway from your experience?
Mohammed’s
biggest takeaway from the experience with Powered Tutoring is the importance of
resilience and adaptability. They informed us that building a business comes
with unexpected challenges, from managing people to refining your services, and
it is crucial to stay focused on your goals while being flexible enough to
adapt. Most importantly, they have learned that genuine passion for what you
do—like helping students succeed - can carry you through even the toughest
moments and make the journey incredibly rewarding.
Running Powered
Tutoring has been an incredible journey of growth and learning for Mohammed,
both personally and professionally. “From starting with just an idea to now
seeing students thrive and achieve their goals, it has been rewarding beyond
words. Along the way, I’ve learned the value of perseverance, the impact of
effective communication, and how even small wins can build toward something
much greater. Where we are now is a testament to hard work and passion. Powered
Tutoring continues to evolve, offering personalized and impactful support to
students who need it most. We’re also exploring new ways to expand and make
learning even more accessible, because I truly believe every student deserves
the chance to succeed. This journey has taught me that no challenge is too big
when you’re driven by a purpose, and I’m excited to see what’s next for Powered
Tutoring.”
