Advanced Tuition hosts its second Careers Event, bringing together professionals from a wide range of industries to inspire and inform the next generation
Advanced Tuition in partnership with Young Asians in Finance (YAF) hosted a careers evening on the 3rd of march offering students a rare opportunity to hear directly from experts working in sectors such as medicine, economics, public health, aerospace engineering, software analysis, and finance.
The evening was more than just a series of talks — it was a celebration of ambition, perseverance, and the value of role models. Each speaker shared not only their career journey, but also the challenges they faced, the skills they’ve developed, and the personal values that shaped their success.
Dr Abu Bashar, founder of Advanced Tuition, opened the event by reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals. “Grades are important,” he said, “but to be truly successful, students also need strong life skills and exposure to real-world professions. Events like this are part of our mission to provide just that.”
A Range of Real-Life Experiences
The evening consisted a number of speakers, most of which alumni of advanced tuition, from a range of STEM and finance fields explore their career paths.
Students heard from Halima, a qualified doctor who spoke about balancing medical school with personal challenges, and how Advanced Tuition helped instil the discipline and drive she needed to succeed.
Adrian, an economist at the Bank of England, explained how early exposure to current events fuelled his passion for economics and how confidence built at Advanced Tuition played a role in his professional growth.
Ugbad, a Public Health Officer, shared how her unconventional path led her to a career that makes a positive difference in community health, while Fuad, a former Advanced Tuition student turned Software Analyst, revealed how a shift from science to tech opened up fulfilling new possibilities.
From aerospace student Abaas, who spoke about his academic projects and tutoring experience, to Romana, a senior leader in financial risk reporting, each speaker brought authenticity, insight, and practical advice that left a lasting impression.
"A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.”
Empowering Underrepresented Voices
A key part of the event’s success was its collaboration with Young Asians in Finance. YAF’s mission, to bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity, strongly aligned with Advanced Tuition’s values. Both organisations are committed to ensuring that young people from underrepresented communities see themselves reflected in successful careers.
YAF’s presence helped highlight the importance of representation, especially for students aged 16–21 who are navigating critical life decisions. By featuring professionals from a variety of backgrounds, the event underscored that success is possible in any field — regardless of gender, faith, or background.
Creating Opportunities That Last
The success of the Careers Event is a reflection of the wider role Advanced Tuition plays in shaping futures. More than a tutoring centre, it is a hub for personal development, confidence-building, and academic excellence.
Many of the speakers were former students or tutors at Advanced Tuition, showcasing the long-term impact of the organisation’s supportive environment. These individuals didn’t just excel academically, they returned to mentor others, building a powerful cycle of growth, encouragement, and success.
Advanced Tuition continues to invest in initiatives that go beyond the classroom. By offering events like this, it provides real-world insight and guidance that helps students make informed decisions about their futures, and equips them with the motivation to reach their goals.
