Hi, I’m Maite! I’m a native German speaker and teach German at all levels — Primary, GCSE, and A-Level. Besides German and English, I also speak French and Spanish. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies with a minor in Educational Science, which deepened my understanding of cross-cultural learning, communication, and how to make complex ideas accessible. During my time at university, I spent over three years tutoring children of different ages, working in a programme led by the German federal government to support children from migrant and refugee backgrounds in their school learning. I am now excited to work with adults as well. When I think back to my own school years, the teachers who inspired me most were those whose honest passion made even my least favourite subjects enjoyable. That’s the atmosphere I aim to create in my lessons: engaging, light, and enjoyable. Outside tutoring, I teach meditation and mindfulness and support a charity creatively, which helps me bring patience, flexibility, and creativity into my teaching. I tailor lessons to each student — whether you need grammar support, speaking practice, exam preparation, or a personalised lesson to build confidence at your own pace, or simply want to learn German out of interest and enjoyment. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies and Educational Science, which I completed at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany. I specialised in cultural theory and visual culture and spent an Erasmus semester at Université Bordeaux Montaigne in France. In addition, I hold a Yoga Alliance–approved 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certificate, complemented by an additional 50 hours of training in meditation.

GCSE: Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics (Triple and Combined Science) Exam board experience: AQA/ Edexcel/ OCR Experience with: KS2/ KS3/ KS4 Languages: English, Italian Exp with disabilities/special needs: none Preferred student age group: GCSE level About me: I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate with a First Class BEng (Hons) degree, currently pursuing my Master's degree at Imperial College London. My academic journey has deepened my passion for maths and science, and I love helping students discover how these fascinating subjects connect to everyday life. During my A Levels, I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Italian, achieving strong results that led me to my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Beyond academics, I enjoy music, art and languages, which help me bring creativity and varied perspectives to my teaching. I have over 7 years of tutoring experience in maths and science, working with students from primary school level through to GCSE in both one-to-one and group settings. I have also worked in secondary schools as a supply teacher and teaching assistant, which has given me valuable insight into different learning styles, the curriculum, and classroom dynamics. This experience has strengthened my ability to adapt my teaching approach to meet each student's individual needs and learning pace. Teaching has always been a great passion of mine, and I'm committed to helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps that make learning both effective and enjoyable. I hold a First Class BEng (Hons) degree in Biomedical Engineering, where I developed a strong foundation in mathematics, sciences, and engineering principles. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London. Studying at such a prestigious institution has further enhanced my expertise and kept me at the forefront of developments in STEM education. During my A Levels, I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Italian, achieving the grades needed to progress to my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. I also hold 12 GCSEs, which gives me a thorough understanding of the curriculum and what students need to succeed at this crucial stage. My academic journey has equipped me with extensive knowledge of exam requirements and effective study techniques, which I apply directly to help my students achieve their goals.

I am a 5th Year Medical Student and have been teaching for many years, I got accepted into grammar and have dedicated many hours to learning and passing on my knowledge. I teach 11+ and have proven methods on understanding the logic and ways to solve the questions. In addition I tutor Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Science, Geography and Maths. I have a keen interest in playing instrumets, learning a new language, keeping active and am currently a co-author on a pending paper to be published in the medical/surgical field. I also have a huge interest in assisting / tutoring students in order for them to achieve the best results possible. Be the best you can be and contact me for a fun and highly educational lesson. I completed my GCSE Equivalent in 2009 with all subjects taken at higher level. I completed Premedical science in 2015, I completed my BSc in Biomedical Science - involving in depth study of Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. I completed my Postgraduate certificate in Public health. I am currently in 5th Year of studying Medicine.

I have just started university and I am eager to help my students in a supportive way with a dynamic based on mutual respect. Outside of my studies I love to watch football, go on hikes in the South Downs and read the financial times, as I am of course interested in any developments in markets. I went to Sackville School, East Grinstead and completed 12 GCSE's and one level 2 certificate in Further Maths, all at grade 7 and above. I then progressed to my A-Levels, achieving A*AAA in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Physics. During my time I also gained a Gold Certificate in the Senior Maths Challenge and participated in the Senior Maths Kangaroo, whilst also participating in the FCDO Next generation Economics essay competition.
