Hi! I'm Merj, a licensed Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer with a strong passion for teaching math and science. With my background in engineering, data analysis, and research, I help students understand complex topics in a clear and practical way. I believe that learning should be both engaging and effective, so I personalize my lessons using real-world applications, problem-solving strategies, and interactive methods to make math easier to grasp. Whether you're struggling with equations or looking to sharpen your problem-solving skills, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Beyond teaching, I’m a plant enthusiast who loves hiking and trekking—just like in learning, I enjoy discovering new paths and overcoming challenges! My goal is to help students gain confidence, tackle problems with ease, and build a strong foundation in math and science. Let’s make learning exciting and rewarding! Book a session today—I look forward to helping you succeed. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering from Mindanao State University and have also earned education units, equipping me with strong teaching strategies alongside my technical expertise. My background spans engineering, research, and data analysis, which allows me to integrate real-world applications into my teaching. With experience as a private math tutor, I have worked with students of various levels, tailoring lessons to their unique learning styles. My expertise includes fundamental and advanced mathematical concepts such as algebra, geometry, and problem-solving techniques, helping students build confidence and a solid foundation in math and science. Beyond tutoring, I have held roles as a Data Quality Specialist, Science Research Analyst, and Customer Service Officer in logistics, refining my analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. My experience in research and data analysis further enhances my ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and structured manner. Beyond tutoring, my experience as a Science Research Analyst at DA-PHILMECH has enhanced my ability to apply mathematical and scientific principles in real-world settings, further strengthening my teaching approach.

As a tutor, I believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking. I take a personalised approach to each student's learning needs, tailoring my teaching style to their unique strengths and weaknesses. I completed my GCSEs with a strong academic performance, achieving an A* in Mathematics and A*-C grades across all other subjects, reflecting my well-rounded abilities. Building on this foundation, I pursued A-Levels, where I excelled in STEM subjects, securing an A in both Mathematics and Chemistry, and a B in Physics. These results showcase my analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in Maths and Sciences, positioning me well for further study or career opportunities in related fields. My academic journey highlights a consistent dedication to learning and achievement in challenging subjects.

I am a Registered Psychometrician who has worked in an educational institution for several years. I also have four years of experience teaching English and I am TEFL-certified. During my first year of teaching, I became an assessor for young learners. I assess and evaluate their proficiency in the English language. Additionally, I was allowed to teach Business English to young professionals and businesspeople. I help them prepare for exams and presentations and enhance their professional communication. I also help boost their confidence in speaking. Teaching has always been my passion. It allows me to share my knowledge and inspire my students to succeed. During my free time, I read novels and watch movies. I also love traveling and exploring other cultures and trying different cuisines. I majored in Psychology at the university and earned thirty-nine (39) academic units in my master's degree in Psychological Measurement at De La Salle University. I have always been interested in studying Psychology because it is fascinating. It helps us understand human behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It is like uncovering the reason why people behave in a particular way, which can lead to better relationships and communication. I took the board exams to become a Registered Psychometrician in 2015. As a Psychometrician, I specialize in the development, administration and interpretation of psychological tests that measure a variety of attributes such as intelligence, personality and behavior. I play a crucial role in ensuring these tests are scientifically valid, reliable and unbiased. Furthermore, I love teaching the English language as well. Language is a vital tool for communication, and it is amazingly rewarding to help others develop that skill too.

GCSE-History, Politics, Religious Studies, Geography A-Level-History, Politics, Philosophy and Ethics. Higher Level-Undergraduate-Anglo-Saxon History. Languages-English and Latin. Preferred Student Age Group-GCSE, A-Level, and mature students. I'm Thomas Gymer, currently a postgraduate student at the University of East Anglia, studying Medieval History. My undergraduate degree was in History and Politics. I have always been interested in teaching, even when I was in school myself, so this is an excellent opportunity to pass on my knowledge and passion for these subjects. Outside of education, I'm a big fan of board games, reading, fencing, and comedy. History and Politics Degree.
