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
Student and Tutor reviewed key concepts related to linear equations, including calculating gradients from two points and identifying parts of the y=mx+c equation. They practiced finding the equation of a straight line from two given points and from a graph, then explored parallel and perpendicular lines, applying these principles to find new line equations. The session concluded with a brief look at a real-world application of linear equations.
Perpendicular Lines and Their Gradients
Calculating the Gradient (Slope)
Equation of a Straight Line: y = mx + c
Finding a Coordinate on a Line
Finding the Equation of a Line from Two Points
Finding the Equation of a Line from a Graph
Parallel Lines and Their Gradients
The Student and Tutor reviewed linear relationships, focusing on the equation of a straight line (`y = mx + c`), the meaning of gradient and y-intercept, and how to calculate and interpret them. They practiced finding gradients from given points, sketching linear graphs, and forming equations from real-world scenarios. The session concluded with a plan to meet again next Monday.
Understanding Linear Relationships
Formulating Linear Equations from Scenarios
Sketching Linear Graphs
Identifying the Y-intercept (c)
Equation of a Straight Line: y = mx + c
Calculating and Interpreting the Gradient (m)
The Student and Tutor practiced various probability concepts, including conditional probability in two-way tables, constructing and interpreting Venn diagrams, and solving a complex probability problem involving consecutive draws. With an exam tomorrow, the session reinforced these topics and clarified key distinctions for conditional probability. The Student will report back on their exam results next week.
Sequential Probability (Multiplication & Addition Rules)
Conditional Probability in Two-Way Tables
Two-Way Table Construction and Interpretation
Venn Diagram Construction (3 Sets)
Conditional Probability from Venn Diagrams
Simplifying Probabilities (Fractions)
The Student and Tutor reviewed key probability concepts, including basic probability, Venn diagrams, the addition rule, conditional probability, and independent events. They practiced applying these concepts by completing two-way tables, drawing Venn diagrams, and solving word problems from provided worksheets. The Student will continue to practice these topics, with an upcoming test next week and the option to send further questions to the Tutor.
Independent Events
General Probability Formula
Venn Diagram Notation & Concepts
The Addition Rule
Conditional Probability
The Student and Tutor reviewed key budgeting concepts, including percentage discounts, "Buy Now Pay Later" calculations, and installment plans. They then transitioned to Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT), practicing various calculation methods and problem-solving. The next session is scheduled in three weeks.
Calculating Discounts and Percentage Changes
Understanding Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) and Installment Costs
GST (Goods and Services Tax) and VAT (Value Added Tax) Calculations
Comparing Payment Options for Best Value
VAT/GST with Discounts and Rebates
The tutor and student worked on analyzing and graphing quadratic functions. They reviewed transformations of quadratic equations and practiced finding the turning point, y-intercept, and x-intercepts using both graphical and algebraic methods. The student will continue practicing these concepts and send further questions.
Graph Transformations: Vertex Form
Quadratic Functions: Standard Form
The Quadratic Formula
