Hi, I’m Maja! (Pronounced Maya). I’m an astrophysics postgrad and a qualified secondary school science teacher. I’ve been through the full rollercoaster of science education, from fighting my way through a master’s degree and emerging with first-class honours, to teaching Year 9s on a Friday afternoon who would rather be anywhere else. Now I help GCSE and A-Level students believe what I already know: you can do this. My goal is to make science feel understandable, interesting, and even a bit fun. When I’m not teaching, you'll find me hanging upside down on an aerial hoop, or writing stories inspired by science and folklore. I went to secondary school in Hungary, where I was initially more interested in the humanities, until I fell in love with space and modern physics. For my leaving qualifications, I completed Advanced Exams in Mathematics and Physics and achieved an A. At university, I completed an integrated Master of Physics degree at the University of Southampton. My first three years focused on general physics (including lab work, mechanics, quantum physics, solid state physics, and wave physics) with a few modules of astronomy. During my master’s year, I had the incredible opportunity to conduct research at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where I studied the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies and wrote my thesis on this topic. I graduated with first-class honours in Astrophysics. After university, I felt drawn to education and wanted to help students grasp the beauty of science, so I completed a year of school-centred initial teacher training. I now hold a PGCE with QTS as a qualified science teacher.

Hi! I’m Glory Mae, a friendly and patient math tutor with over six years of teaching experience. I love making math fun and easy to understand through practical examples and lessons tailored to your learning style. I am excited to have class with you soon. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics and hold both a teaching license and a TEFL certificate. My strong academic foundation and years of experience help me explain math clearly while keeping lessons interactive, motivating, and enjoyable for every learner. I usually use real life situations to further relate Math to students.

Hello! I’m Inuri Basnayake. I am a dedicated and energetic online mathematics tutor with more than two years of experience teaching students through international platforms, including Third Space Global. I help learners strengthen their math skills using a clear, step-by-step approach, friendly guidance and plenty of practice to build real confidence. With a strong science and research background, I teach math logically and patiently, making complex ideas easy to understand. I focus on creating lessons that are interactive, encouraging and enjoyable, helping every student feel supported and motivated throughout their learning journey. Outside of teaching, I love watching movies and TV series, travelling around the country and spending time with my friends. These experiences keep me inspired and bring positive energy into every class. My goal is to help you understand concepts deeply, develop strong problem-solving skills and feel confident in every lesson. Let’s work together to achieve your academic goals! I hold a BSc. (Hons) in Medical Laboratory Science with a Second-Class Upper Division from General Sir John Kotelawela Defence University, Sri Lanka, where I gained strong analytical, logical reasoning and problem-solving skills that greatly enhance my ability to teach mathematics effectively. I am also currently pursuing my master’s degree at the University of Kelaniya, further strengthening my academic background and demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. With this solid educational foundation, I am well-equipped to guide students with clarity, accuracy and confidence. In addition, I have earned a TEFL certification and the EF SET English Certificate, enabling me to teach students from diverse international backgrounds in clear and fluent English. With extensive experience tutoring global learners through well-known online education platforms, I specialize in delivering structured explanations, personalized support and student-focused teaching methods. My goal is to make learning smooth, enjoyable and effective, helping every child build strong mathematical skills and genuine confidence in their abilities.

BSc Biomedical Science graduate, currently in medical school. I teach: Junior Certificate science (all levels), Leaving Certificate Biology (all levels), GCSE Biology and AS/A-Level Biology. I am passionate about making science fun, practical and easy to understand. Throughout my career and studies, I've been immersed in the complexities of science, and I understand how daunting it can seem. But I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can grasp it. That's why I'm here - to break down complex topics into simple, understandable concepts, making it accessible and engaging for my students. My teaching strategy is focused on exam-based lessons, helping students practice with marking schemes and key terms to refine their answers and maximise their scores. By working through past paper questions and understanding what examiners look for, my students build confidence in applying their knowledge effectively under exam conditions. I am familiar with several exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, CIE, and many more, and I tailor my lessons to align with each board's specific requirements. A typical lesson with me involves reviewing key topics to ensure a solid understanding of the subject matter. We'll start by discussing the areas where the student feels least confident, addressing any questions or difficulties they have. I then guide them through relevant exam-style questions, focusing on how to structure their answers using marking schemes and key terms. Throughout the lesson, I offer feedback to help improve their exam technique, highlighting common mistakes and strategies for tackling tricky questions. My goal is to make sure students not only grasp the content but also feel more prepared for the types of questions they will face in their exams. In 2020, I graduated from the University of Essex (UK) with a degree in Biomedical Science (BSc), giving me a strong foundation in Life Sciences, including Biology. Prior to that, I took my Leaving Certificate in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (all higher level) in Franciscan College Gormanston, Ireland. For my Junior Certificate, I took science at higher level and achieved an A.
