Math for Kids (Ages 6–13): Confidence, Understanding, and Joy

Hello! My name is Stella. I have two university degrees: one in Clinical Psychology and one in Engineering Mathematics. This rare combination helps me see not just the numbers, but also how a child's mind works — where they struggle, why they feel stuck, and how to gently guide them forward.

I specialize in teaching children aged 6 to 13. Whether your child is just starting with basic arithmetic, needs support with fractions, pre-algebra, or geometry, or simply needs to build confidence in math — I'm here to help.

I also have extensive experience working with children with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences. I know how to adapt explanations, hold attention, and create a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes and ask questions.

Lessons are conducted in Russian, but all mathematical terms are explained in English as well — this helps children easily navigate international textbooks (Common Core) and prepares them for future bilingual learning environments.

More than 10 years of teaching experience, including 5 years fully online. I work with students from all over the world from my base in Cyprus.

The first lesson is a friendly diagnostic session — we'll get to know each other, assess strengths and areas for growth, and build a personalized learning plan.

About Me

Hello! I'm Stella.

I’ve always been fascinated by two things: how numbers work and how people think. That’s why I became both an Engineer-Mathematician and a Clinical Psychologist. These two paths may seem different, but together they give me a unique perspective on teaching. I don’t just explain formulas — I see how a child’s mind processes information, where it gets stuck, and how to gently guide it forward.

I’ve been teaching mathematics for over 10 years, with the last 5 years fully online. I love working with children aged 6 to 13, especially those who find math difficult or feel anxious about it. Every child is different, and I enjoy the challenge of finding that one explanation that makes things click.

I believe that math is not about memorising rules — it’s about understanding, curiosity, and confidence. My goal is to make sure every child leaves a lesson feeling a little smarter and a lot more confident.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and learning new things. I currently live in Cyprus and work with students from all over the world.

I look forward to meeting you and your child!

Здравствуйте! Я Стелла.

Меня всегда увлекали две вещи: как устроены числа и как работает человеческий мозг. Поэтому я стала и инженером-математиком, и клиническим психологом. Эти два образования помогают мне видеть в каждом ученике не просто школьника, а личность — со своими сильными сторонами, страхами и способами восприятия.

Я преподаю математику уже более 10 лет, из них 5 лет — онлайн. Больше всего я люблю работать с детьми от 6 до 13 лет, особенно с теми, кто считает математику сложной или скучной. Для меня нет ничего радостнее, чем видеть, как у ребёнка загораются глаза, когда он наконец понимает тему.

Убеждена, что математика — это не заучивание правил, а логика, любопытство и уверенность. Моя цель — чтобы после каждого занятия ребёнок чувствовал себя чуточку умнее и гораздо увереннее.

Живу на Кипре, работаю с учениками со всего мира. Буду рада познакомиться с вами и вашим ребёнком!

As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!

We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.

The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:

1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.

2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.

3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.

4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.

I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.

In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.

I provide online Mathematics tutoring for IB students, with particular experience supporting students at IB MYP and IB Diploma (DP) level, including Mathematics AA and AI at SL and HL.

My approach is not simply about giving students answers. I focus on helping them understand why a method works, how to approach unfamiliar problems, and how to present their solutions clearly.

My teaching approach
Every student is different. Some students need help with a particular topic, while others have gaps in their foundations that make later IB topics difficult.

In lessons, I try to identify where the difficulty actually comes from and then build the understanding step by step.

I encourage students to:

• understand concepts rather than memorise procedures;
• explain their reasoning;
• practise with progressively more challenging questions;
• learn from mistakes;
• develop an organised approach to exam questions.

My goal is to help students become more independent and confident mathematicians, rather than dependent on a tutor.
I provide mathematics tutoring for:

International Baccalaureate (IB Mathematics):
✔ MYP Mathematics (Years 2, 3, 4, 5 — Standard and Extended levels)
✔ DP Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (AA) and Applications & Interpretation (AI) — SL and HL
✔ DP1, DP2, CP1 and CP2 support

Dutch Mathematics Curriculum:
✔ HAVO
✔ VWO
✔ VMBO
✔ Gymnasium

I have provided tutor for university entrance exams like
✔️ CCVX(Boswell Beta ,VWO Mathematics).
✔️ OMPT-A OMPT-B OMPT-D or OMPT-E

Subjects include algebra, calculus, statistics, geometry, and exam preparation.

With my background in mathematics and technology, I also help students develop the analytical thinking skills that are valuable for STEM studies and future careers.

💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.

There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."

It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.

🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.

📚 What I cover, canton by canton

The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:

✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options

🔍 How I work

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work needed, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

✨ Why this profession

My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.

🗣️ Lessons in French or English. Response within the day.

Interpreting the Holy Quran, its scientific miracles, monotheism, contemplation, and understanding the reasons for the revelation of verses will help you acquire strong linguistic skills and strengthen your faith.
For example, we all memorize Surah Al-Ikhlas, but few know its meaning.
The word "Samad" refers to something solid and without a cavity, so it has no need to eat or drink.
He is also the one meant in fulfilling people’s needs. That is, if we want a need, such as healing, wealth, or knowledge, we turn to God Almighty to fulfill our need, as Zechariah, peace be upon him, did, despite his old age and his barren wife, so the means for humans were cut off, but he supplicated to God in secret, so He gave him his request and comforted him.
No matter how many reasons are cut off from you, God's door is always open, so rejoice in good tidings.
