Maryam
Private lessons in Arabic and English to build my little champions from the beginning
My name is Mariam from the United Arab Emirates. I specialize in establishing children from 4 years old to third grade in Arabic and English subjects with more than seven years of experience in teaching. I love children and I have patience in understanding the needs of my young students. I establish them and teach them new words. My priorities are to explain in detail and in stages until the child acquires the information. I send the exercises to the guardian before the specified class time to print them for the child. If he has a printer, I contact the guardian at the end of the class to tell him about the level of their child with me. May God bless you, my little heroes 🤍

Mathematics, Sciences: Secondary education - private lessons.
Need help with math or science? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in teaching simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process. Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me! See you soon! Tim

Current physics teacher offering GCSE, MYP, A-level, IB DP Physics tuition
I am currently teaching physics and have recently completed a masters in astrophysics. I have been teaching for over 10 years now (including being Head of Physics at one of the largest international schools in Asia) and I love my subject. I like to make my classes fun, engaging, and driven towards giving you the tools needed to help improve your physics. I have a lot of online tools to help you and you will receive lots of feedback on what we do. When you purchase a tutorial (or set of tutorials) we'll have an initial session to go over what you need to cover and what materials you would like. It'll help me assess your levels and to organise the correct materials. Then, during each session, we'll go through the material and try questions (including past paper questions). We'll practice both the multiple choice and long answer question papers. I'll make sure to arrange for you to receive the materials before our sessions so that we're targeting everything to just those things you need to study. I've also added a course specifically for DP students to get them ready for their new course:
