Hi, I’m Maki Mary, an enthusiastic and patient math teacher who enjoys helping students understand math in a simple and practical way. I believe math becomes easier when students understand the concept instead of simply memorizing formulas. My goal is to make learning math engaging, supportive, and less intimidating, while helping students build their problem-solving skills and confidence. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and singing, which helps me relax and stay creative throughout the day. I graduated with a degree in Electronics Engineering and am a licensed Electronics Engineer. My academic background gave me a strong foundation in mathematics, logical reasoning, and problem-solving, while my professional experience in Quality Assurance and Control further strengthened these skills. I also completed my TEFL certification and achieved a C2 Proficient level in the EF SET English test, which strengthened my communication skills and prepared me to support learners effectively.

ABOUT ME I have a deep interest in history, human and physical geography, anthropology, technology, architecture and engineering. I especially enjoy the history and geography of languages and language families. I'm into all sorts of things if I'm honest. I am a keen traveller (but who isn't nowadays), audiophile and technophile, with a love for all kinds of technologies, analogue and digital, new and old. Thanks to COVID I learnt a lot of DIY skills through necessity. My house also has a garden full of fruit trees, so I guess that would make me an amateur gardener by default. I try to keep fit by cycling when possible, but my favourite sport is swimming. TEACHING EXPERIENCE/PREFERENCES The subjects I teach are History, English Literature and Language for GCSE and A-level, as well as ESL English. I tend to teach students aged 14+, so from Year 9 to Year 13 or more mature students for ESL, but I do have a few students younger than this. I use a variety of teaching approaches, ranging from traditional methods of text analysis to modern forms of teaching, such as interactive quizzes, questionnaires and even YouTube videos if they benefit the students learning style. Exam Board Experience: Experience of all English assessment boards, but especially AQA and Edexcel in the, and WJEC/Eduqas and OCR to a lesser extent. Languages: English: as a first language to advanced/professional level. Turkish: fluent to college level, but nor advanced enough for teaching purposes.

If you are looking for a tutor who combines deep subject expertise with a strategic, exam-oriented approach, I am here to help. As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer holding dual degrees in Engineering and Business Administration, and with extensive teaching experience right here on GoStudent, I specialize in helping students navigate the pressures of GCSEs across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, IGCSE). Why Choose Me? Exam-Focused Strategy: I don't just teach the syllabus; I teach the mark scheme. I have a proven track record of moving students from "struggling" to "A/A*" by mastering exam techniques and time management. Expert Adaptability: Having studied in multiple countries, I adapt my teaching style to the students’ unique pace. Whether it’s an intensive "crash course" for upcoming GCSEs or long-term support to build confidence, I tailor every session. The "Insider" Edge: As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer with a background in business, I pair my understanding of complex STEM subjects with clear communication and structured study plans. I bridge the gap between rigorous academic theories and "fun," relatable learning. Experience Across the Board: With 5 years of professional tutoring and 8 years of volunteering, I’ve worked with all ages—from primary foundations to high-stakes secondary exams. My Philosophy I believe that "learning should be fun," but I also know that results build confidence. My goal is to remove the fear of the subject and replace it with a passion for improvement. Whether your child needs a rigorous, fast-paced review for their upcoming GCSEs or patient, long-term support to overcome their academic anxieties, I have the tools and the experience to get them there. Education: Dual Degrees in Engineering & Business I hold degrees in both Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Business Administration. This unique combination pairs the deep, analytical rigor required for advanced mathematics and physics with the strategic communication and organizational skills of a business background. My academic journey has been highly international, allowing me to study, collaborate, and teach across different cultures and educational frameworks. This global exposure has made me highly adaptable, enabling me to seamlessly navigate the UK curriculum while bringing an innovative, well-rounded approach to problem-solving. I speak multiple languages and pride myself on connecting easily with students from all backgrounds, turning complex subjects into clear, manageable strategies for success.

Hi! I’m Akhshaya, and my passion for teaching has grown since secondary school. I’ve taught at two tutoring centres, where I gained experience supporting students with a wide range of abilities, learning styles, and learning difficulties. I’m passionate about making tricky concepts feel simple and helping students build confidence step by step. Finally, my comfort shows are Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra; I like to play netball, skateboard, and sing! I am a second‑year Biomedical Engineering student at King’s College London, where I study modules such as Medical Physics, Clinical Engineering, and Professional Issues in Biomedical Engineering. My academic background combines strong analytical skills with a passion for STEM education. I completed my A‑Levels in Maths, Physics, and Biology at Beal High School and I have experience applying these subjects through both university coursework and tutoring. Additionally, I have completed my diploma in Carnatic Music.
