What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
Seeing the progress of the students and how they can grow from disliking a task to enjoying it because they have learned how to do itMy Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I am patient and am good at breaking down a skill into its components to help them understand the task. I understand the need for repetition to help the student achieve their goalsMost important things I can do for a student π
Help them to grow in their strengths and to encourage them to reach their potential in the subject. To teach them to be teachable and to teach others. I like the phrase that βeach one teaches oneΓ’β¬. I may start to teach them but one day I hope the student is able to teach another the same skill.Subjects Tutored π

About Miriam
Engaging Coach with Proven Experience Teaching Young Children
Miriam brings strong experience working with children, having taught swimming to students aged 3 to 11 across a wide range of abilities. She is used to breaking skills into clear, manageable steps and giving age-appropriate feedback to both children and parents. In lessons she uses games, stories and creative activities to keep students engaged while they learn. This tutor is confident managing groups, tracking progress and gently encouraging even the most hesitant learners to participate and improve.
Strong Academic Background in Science and Analytical Thinking
With a Bachelor of Science majoring in Water Science and a minor in Chemistry, Miriam is well equipped to support students in maths and science-related subjects, especially as they move into upper primary and high school. Her research assistant experience has strengthened her skills in reading complex information, problem-solving and clear written communication. She is used to explaining technical ideas in everyday language, helping students build real understanding rather than just memorising facts or formulas.
Clear Communicator Who Builds Confidence and Independence
Miriamβs background in customer-facing roles and public-facing work means she communicates calmly and clearly with both children and parents. She regularly adapts explanations on the spot, checks for understanding and adjusts her approach when a student is stuck. Her experience working in cross-cultural environments and speaking intermediate Japanese helps her relate to students from diverse backgrounds. This tutor focuses on building independent learners by modelling how to tackle tricky questions, organise work and stay motivated over time.

Moving forward, we will work on constructing accurate lewis dot diagrams especially in relation to how the number of valence electrons affects covalent bonding. We will also revisit formal charge calculations which he expressed a desire to revise.

We will continue to build on his understanding of VESPR and Formal Charge building to create a solid foundation for future topics. Additionally, we will look at the theory side of gas laws to understand chemical collisions to complement the calculation side already discussed.
Learned how to calculate the area of a sector, the length of an arc and how to solve practical problems involving scale factors.
