Maths tutoring K2 (primary), K3 (secondary), GCSE (year 11)
From 56 C$ /h
Hello, my name is Maria. I completed a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences at the University of Manchester. I am interested in human biology and aspire to be a doctor one day. I also love maths; if I hadn't chosen medicine, I may have pursued a degree in mathematics and ended up with a white head one day (just kidding!). I have struggled with academics in the past, so I believe I can relate to my own experience and assist others in finding shortcuts and making studying much more interesting. I feel that sometimes, a good technique and the right amount of motivation are all that is required to get excellent results.
My teaching approach primarily revolves around utilizing past exam papers and spaced repetition techniques. The main goal is to expose students to a wide range of exam questions and enhance their ability to solve them effectively. I structure the sessions to cover topics systematically, ensuring thorough understanding rather than rushing through content. Quality of learning takes precedence over quantity, emphasizing mastery of concepts rather than mere coverage.

About Me
My friends often describe me as "psycho" due to my outgoing and energetic nature, but it's only after I've gotten to know the people around me. Despite being the loudest voice in the room, I have a unique ability to remain calm and collected 24/7. I firmly believe that with hard work and a touch of patience, anything is achievable in life. When faced with unexpected challenges like a last-minute cancelled connecting flight or rare instances of receiving a disappointing grade, I maintain my composure and focus on finding immediate solutions. Instead of dwelling on mistakes, I reflect on how to improve and ensure they're not repeated in the future, allowing myself to move forward with confidence.

Experience / Qualifications
I currently work as an online tutor on another platform, specializing in teaching mathematics to primary and secondary school students. This experience brings me immense joy, as evidenced by the consistently positive feedback I've received, averaging five stars across more than 400 lessons delivered.
Teaching children, especially in an online setting, presents its challenges, primarily due to their limited attention spans. However, I've discovered that engaging them with interactive activities and injecting humor into the sessions helps maintain their focus and keep them smiling. I've also learned the importance of actively listening to their stories, as it fosters a reciprocal relationship where they're more inclined to listen attentively in return.
