Verified Tutor
Maya is currently studying a combined primary and secondary education degree, giving her up-to-date knowledge of how children learn from early years through to high school. At school she received an academic excellence award in both English and Maths, so she understands what is needed to succeed across these core subjects. This tutor blends solid subject knowledge with current teaching theory, helping students build strong foundations while also preparing them for assessments and real classroom expectations.
Maya has worked extensively as an educator and coordinator in before and afterschool care, where she supervised children, implemented learning activities and followed structured programs. She regularly designed activities that encouraged curiosity, problemsolving and exploration, not just “babysitting”. She is used to managing groups, keeping children safe and engaged, and calmly handling incidents when they arise. This background means she can quickly understand each child’s needs and adjust activities to suit different ages and abilities.
Through years in childfocused and customerfacing roles, Maya has developed excellent communication skills and a warm, approachable manner. She is used to explaining information clearly, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and encouraging children who feel anxious or “not good” at a subject. As a bilingual speaker of English and Arabic, she can relate well to students from diverse backgrounds. This tutor aims to make sessions feel safe and encouraging, so students are comfortable asking questions and proud of their progress.
