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 tutor and student reviewed concepts related to linear equations, including gradients and the point-gradient formula. They then moved on to quadratic functions, covering their graphical representation (parabolas), evaluation, and the calculation of the axis of symmetry and turning points. The session concluded with a plan to continue this topic next week.
Point-Gradient Formula
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Quadratic Functions and Parabolas
Axis of Symmetry and Turning Point
Gradient of a Line
The Tutor and Student worked through a variety of geometry and algebra problems, including calculating surface area and volume of cubes and cuboids, prism volume, and understanding gradients of linear equations. They also practiced problems related to rates, fractions, and algebraic manipulation. The Tutor will send completed past papers to the Student.
Surface Area and Volume of Cubes and Cuboids
Volume of Prisms
Linear Equations: Gradients and Y-Intercepts
The Tutor and Student reviewed the formula for calculating the gradient of a line and its geometric interpretation. They then practiced finding the equation of a straight line using the point-gradient formula and solving for unknown coordinates given a gradient and points. The session concluded with a plan to discuss parallel and perpendicular lines in the following week.
Gradient of a Line
Point-Gradient Form of a Line
Finding the Equation of a Line
Solving for Unknowns in Line Equations
The student and tutor worked through a past paper, covering geometry problems involving volume, surface area, Pythagorean theorem, and areas of circles and semicircles. They also practiced estimating the mean from grouped data and calculating costs based on perimeter measurements. The session concluded with a problem on grass seed requirements and perimeter calculations for a triangle.
Volume of a Rectangular Prism
Surface Area of an Open Box
Pythagorean Theorem and Diagonals
Estimating Mean from Grouped Data
Area and Circumference of Circles and Semicircles
Perimeter of a Semicircle and Cost Calculation
Proportional Reasoning and Resource Allocation
The student and tutor worked through a series of mathematics problems covering Venn diagrams, geometry (angles, parallelograms, triangles), data analysis (percentages, mean, data types), algebra, and introductory calculus concepts (gradient). The session involved practice problems from past papers and concept explanations, with a plan to revisit gradients and volume/surface area in a future session.
Isosceles Triangles
Angles in Parallelograms and Straight Lines
Data Types: Qualitative vs. Quantitative
Gradient of a Line
The student and tutor worked through various past paper questions covering algebra, percentages, statistics, geometry, and compound interest. The student practiced simplifying expressions, solving equations, calculating mean, interpreting graphs, and applying geometric formulas, with plans to continue practice in the next session.
Calculating the Mean (Average)
Area of a Trapezoid and Pythagorean Theorem
Perimeter and Area of a Semicircle
Perimeter of Shapes with Algebraic Terms
Prime Factorization
Compound Interest
Correlation in Scatter Graphs
Angles in Parallel Lines
