About Esther
Strong Maths Foundations from Engineering Studies
Esther is an engineering student with a solid grounding in mathematics and problem-solving, making her well equipped to support both primary and high school students. She has achieved study scores in the upper ranges for Mathematical Methods and Physics, showing that she not only understands complex concepts but can apply them under exam conditions. This tutor draws on her current university maths and physics work to explain tricky ideas in clear, step-by-step ways that feel practical and relatable for students.
Clear Communicator Who Breaks Concepts Down
With strong communication skills and attention to detail, Esther focuses on making sure students genuinely understand the “why” behind each method, not just memorise steps. She uses her experience writing code in Python to teach logical thinking and structured problem-solving, especially useful for algebra and worded problems. This tutor is patient, encourages questions, and checks understanding regularly so students build confidence as well as accuracy in their work.
Organised, Encouraging and Student-Focused
Esther brings excellent time management and teamwork skills from her engineering projects into her tutoring sessions. She likes to set clear goals with each student, track their progress, and adjust the pace so they feel challenged but not overwhelmed. She often creates simple practice questions and mini “problem sets” tailored to the student’s current topic, helping them prepare for tests and assignments. Parents can expect a reliable, organised tutor who helps students feel more capable and independent in their maths learning.

Practise setting out working down a single column instead of splitting parts of the expression horizontally across the page.
Most questions were done well and quickly. Did not have much trouble with most concepts.

2 way tables (frequency and probabilities) - making them from a worded problem and translating when from a venn diagram. Understanding the correlation between the 2-way tables, venn diagram, and tree diagram.
Can recall a lot of learned knowledge and methods to solve various questions. Overall feeling fairly confident.

Not much to improve. Revising individually with making summary book will reconsolidate all material learned.

Developed a good understanding of what 'given' means and where it goes on a tree diagram, and summing up rows and columns in a 2 wat table/ or branches in a tree diagram to check total probabilities.
May need some more practise to become more familiar with probability notation, as well as using the given equations and rearranging to find the unknown value.
