Hi! My name is Mariyah, a friendly and dedicated Maths tutor currently on my gap year after completing my A-levels. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and reach their full potential in both GCSE Maths and 11+ preparation. Having recently been through the exam process myself, I understand how to explain topics clearly, boost exam technique, and make lessons engaging and approachable. My sessions are tailored to each student’s learning style, focusing on building understanding and confidence step by step. I have recently completed my A-levels at St Clement Danes, studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry, getting BCC. These subjects have strengthened my critical thinking skills, making me have a deeper appreciation for how much we use these subjects every day. Having done the exams, I understand the struggles the students face and how to support them.

👋 Hi, I'm Siya! I specialize in Mathematics (K-1 to K-12, GCSE, Precalculus, Calculus , Linear algebra, etc.), English (ESL), 11+ Prep and CS . Using a digital handwriting tablet and virtual whiteboard, I make online lessons highly visual, interactive, and tailored to your child's pace. 🎨 My Teaching Style No two students learn the same way. I focus on high-engagement, step-by-step problem-solving. My classroom is a patient, supportive space where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning process. Together, we will map out equations, analyze texts, practice 11+ verbal/non-verbal reasoning, and write code in real-time. 🌟 Supporting Diverse Learners I have dedicated experience tutoring students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, and school anxiety. I provide a structured, calm, and encouraging environment where your child can build genuine academic confidence. 💡 What We Can Achieve Together 11+ Exam Mastery: Sharpening speed, accuracy, and confidence in numerical and logical reasoning. Confidence in Key Subjects: Mastering Math, Further Math, English (ESL) and Computer Science. Exam Readiness: Breaking down tricky GCSE, iGCSE, and A-Level questions. I am currently pursuing a double major Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science through the University of South Africa (UNISA). This academic track provides me with a deep, rigorous foundation in analytical problem-solving, advanced algebraic structures, calculus, computational logic, and software development methodologies. My coursework heavily emphasizes the intersection of technical computing and data analysis, which allows me to approach math and technology with a clear, structured framework. In addition to my current STEM degree, I hold a National Certificate in Public Management. This qualification enhanced my professional communication, strategic planning, and organizational skills, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical logic and effective interpersonal engagement.
