Natania - Know your tutor
Hello! I am Natania or Nia for short. I have a background in Biochemical Engineering and I am deeply passionate in learning and helping students understand Math concepts. I have over 3 years of teaching experience, especially with the GCSE curriculum and i specialize in concept learning, grade improvement, practice exams and test preparation. When it comes to my teaching technique, I explain each process step by step and always go at the students' pace. Each session's pace will be determined by you and your needs, so there is absolutely no need to worry about needing to stop and retrace our steps. Whether you need help in completing homework or to prepare for a standardized Math test, I'm here to give you a thorough understanding for all your Mathematical inquiries. Outside teaching, I find enjoyment in reading, playing basketball and watching movies.

GCSE prep overview
I am a dedicated and experience Math teacher with over 3 years of expertise in the field of education. I offer Math tutoring sessions for middle school to high school level students, and non-traditional students or returning adults are always welcome. With a passion for mathematics and a commitment to helping my students succeed, I honed my teaching skills to create engaging and effective online lessons. My adaptability and use of digital tools often prove to be a reliable resource for interactive learning. My tutoring sessions are customised to the needs and learning style of the student. I explain concepts which may be difficult to understand and promote asking questions whenever needed. I conclude each lesson by discussing lesson conclusions and ensuring all concepts are thoroughly understood. We can also go over homework and assignments together for test preparation. Let's understand the world of Maths together!

GCSE concepts taught by Natania
The Student and Tutor reviewed key statistics concepts including mean, median, mode, range, quartiles (Q1, Q3, IQR), and outlier identification. They then introduced bivariate data, covering explanatory and response variables, Pearson correlation coefficients, and the coefficient of determination. The session involved extensive practice problems to reinforce understanding of these topics.
Coefficient of Determination (R²)
Descriptive Statistics: Mean
Median
and Range
Quartiles (Q₁
Q₃) and Interquartile Range (IQR)
Identifying Outliers Using Boundaries
Bivariate Data and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r)
The Tutor and Student worked on various mathematics topics, including understanding compound interest and applying its formula, finding terms in a geometric sequence, simplifying expressions using laws of indices, and interpreting minimum and maximum values for inverse functions. They practiced solving problems for each concept to reinforce understanding.
Compound vs. Simple Interest
The Compound Interest Formula
Geometric Sequences: Formula & Common Ratio
Laws of Exponents: Division & Negative Powers
Inverse Functions: Domain & Range Swap
The Student and Tutor conducted a comprehensive review session for an upcoming math test, focusing on trigonometry, true bearings, and the Pythagorean theorem. They practiced solving various problems involving finding missing sides and angles, interpreting true bearings, and applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. The Student and Tutor also adjusted their next session's schedule for the following week.
Inverse Trigonometric Functions: Finding Unknown Angles
True Bearings: Direction in Navigation
Angles of Elevation and Depression
Pythagorean Theorem: Finding Side Lengths
Resolving Displacement into East/North Components
SOH CAH TOA: Fundamental Trigonometric Ratios
The Student and Tutor worked through various mathematics problems covering exponential and logarithmic functions, laws of indices, solving quadratic equations via substitution, understanding residual plots, composite functions, exponential regression, and geometric sequences. They clarified several core concepts and problem-solving techniques. The next session was scheduled for Saturday mornings.
Residual Plots & Model Fit
Exponential & Logarithmic Functions: Domain & Properties
Laws of Indices (Exponents)
Logarithm Rules & Solving Logarithmic Equations
Solving Exponential Equations
Including Quadratic Form
Student and Tutor covered financial mathematics concepts including percentage changes, simple interest, compound interest, and depreciation. The Student practiced applying various formulas and solving problems to calculate new prices, interest earned, final balances, and even reverse-engineer original values or interest rates. The next session is planned to cover probabilities.
Depreciation
Percentage Change
Simple Interest
Compound Interest
Reverse Percentage Calculations
Solving for Unknown Variables
The Student and Tutor reviewed fundamental statistics concepts, including mean, median, mode, range, quartiles (Q1, Q3), interquartile range (IQR), and outliers. They practiced calculating these measures and identifying outliers using upper and lower fences. The next session will cover normal distributions.
Identifying Outliers with Fences
Quartiles (Q₁ & Q₃)
Measures of Data Spread: Range & Interquartile Range (IQR)
Measures of Central Tendency: Mean
Median
& Mode
