Born in Liverpool of Bangladeshi parents, full-time Muslim mum Rakiya Rahman studied mathematics at university. Now, after she's made the sandwiches and done the school-run she returns back home to turn her attention to her other passion: teaching maths.
She says she eats, sleeps and breathes maths.

She has now turned her passion into a part time business, tutoring children aged 5 upwards, going up to A level standard. She mainly does this face to face but she now uses computers as an integral part of her business, setting up a website and teaching maths on-line as an extension to her tutoring at home.
She admits to having hated computers when she was a child and never used them until she was forced to at university when she was 21.
But she says she's now on the computer all day, "if I'm not cooking, cleaning or looking after the kids I'm on the computer. My husband is sick of it - if I'm not doing tutoring I'm building pages for the website."
She also offers free Skype lessons every time she hits a certain number of 'likes' on her Facebook page. (She's had a total of 18,000 and she's done 15 free Skype lessons so far and plans to offer more).
She has created a website hosted by the on-line company website, SBI which teaches you how to set up a webpage and make money on-line. Maths tuition can be expensive but she says doing such offers and being on-line is a great way of drumming up business.
Now after being on the web for one year she's now getting 600-700 unique visitors a day.
She tutors everyday - and she says because of the raised profile of her part time business via her website, she is now busy all year round and she's normally fully booked.

Using Skype to give free lessons. (She emails them a time and date and uses a whiteboard in her home or writes using the screen). She says she could be teaching people on the other side of the world.
She uses computers for exam papers, typically emailing them to clients.
When giving a tutoring lesson in one-to-one sessions, she goes over the work on-line.
