Mikaela

Experienced mathematics tutor with over 8 years of experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in Engineering (with distinction) and am currently in the final year of my master`s degree.

From a young age, I have been passionate about mathematics and problem-solving, drawn to the structure and logic that form the foundation of the subject. As I delved deeper into various concepts, I found that consistent practice not only strengthened my understanding but also deepened my curiosity and desire to learn more.

However, my journey was not without its own challenges. There were times when certain topics felt overwhelming, but those moments taught me the importance of an alternative explanation or a new perspective. This realisation inspired me to become a tutor through an outreach programme at my school, where I began assisting students who needed extra support after hours.

It was through this experience that I discovered my love for teaching. What began as one-on-one tutoring soon evolved into group sessions, and to this day, I have had the privilege of teaching groups of over 40 students.

So, why do I tutor? My passion lies in guiding students through complex topics and ensuring that each concept is thoroughly understood. I tutor for that moment of clarity—when a student finally grasps a difficult idea. I am always willing to re-explain and explore topics from different angles until that moment is reached. Together, we set goals and work collaboratively to achieve them.
