About Me
Hello! My name is Maya, I am a first-class Classics and English graduate from the University of Oxford with significant experience in subject tutoring and Oxbridge admission coaching.

I fully appreciate the significance 1-to-1 tuition can have on a student's ability, confidence, and enjoyment in a subject. After I received such teaching at Oxford (having come from large state comprehensive schools), I ended up coming 2nd in my cohort in my finals. I want to help others realise their potential in the same way -- whatever they are aiming for.

I can offer Oxbridge admissions coaching, as well as teaching to all school levels in: English Language, English Literature, History, Classics, Latin, and Classical Greek. Please enquire as to the level and content you require, as I can offer further subjects at KS3 level and under.

Applications for Classics at Oxford and Cambridge both involve a language assessment, for which I provide expert tutoring and guidance in as a first-class Classics and English graduate from Oxford.

Classics at Oxford uses the Classics Admissions Test (CAT) for Course I (for students with Latin/Greek to A Level) or the Classical Language Aptitude Test (CLAT) for Course II (for students without Latin/Greek) to decide who will be invited for interview. At Cambridge only candidates shortlisted for interview will be required to take such assessment, which will be a translation exercise for the 3-year course, or a language aptitude interview for the 4-year. All assessments involve careful application of linguistic knowledge, whether of classical languages or English, which I will ensure you are extremely well-prepared to do.

Applicants are also required to submit two pieces of written work prior to interview, which I am able to advise about if requested.

I hold a PhD in Mathematics from the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London and I am an a Qualified Teacher (QTS) in the UK. I have extensive tutoring experience on undergraduate academic tutorials. My area of expertise is applied mathematics, including probability and statistics, R Statistical coding, Python, differentials equations, linear algebra and calculus.

I collaborate with some of the top tutoring and education consultant firms in London and I have a proven track record of successfully preparing students for their 11+, 13+, GCSEs and A-Levels in Maths, whether their goal is to enter independent/grammar schools or league table UK universities. I also have extensive experience with the mathematics section of the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) preparation, required by several international universities in Europe and the US.

I work closely with students from Portland Place School London, Kensington Park School, Francis Holland School Regent's Park, City of London School for Girls and Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle de Londres as well as Saint Mary Magdalene, William Ellis School and more.
I have also helped students gain entrance to top Russel Group UK institutions, such as Queen Mary University of London, London School of Economics, King's College London, University of Edinburgh and more.

I am currently a Teaching Associate for King's College London and Queen Mary University of London, teaching Calculus, Mathematical models, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability theory and Data science modules.

Moreover, I have a long experience in working with students having learning difficulties (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism) and I am certified by the Queen Mary Disability and Dyslexia Centre as a Support Worker.

I like to believe that I take a friendly approach to teaching and that my students are able to comprehend the subjects we discuss.

I am always aiming to identify and cover knowledge gaps in a student's understanding that otherwise keep adding up. Working as an independent private tutor since 2016, I am equipped with patience and a good perception of the student's weaknesses, as well as a broad knowledge of mathematical tools that come in handy in the process of properly explain concepts.
