Maaike

I am a fully qualified secondary and college science teacher. I specialise in biology, chemistry and physics at A-level. Having studied for a masters in aquatic ecology at the University of London, I have a particular passion for science and enjoy boosting the confidence of learners who want to pursue further studies in the sciences. I hope to expand my experience with extra teaching and aim to study further research science in London. I am a native English speaker but also speak some Dutch!

Availability: I am available any day during the week after school hours (from 4pm) and weekends. Please do get in touch to discuss ideal times.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: Teaching truly runs in my family, with both my sister and mother teaching in schools in London. I share this passion for teaching and have tutored for over 10 years. Although mainstream secondary school is my most experienced area, during my degree I worked part time in a Pupil Referral Unit as a Learning Support Assistant. Working in such a challenging environment has given me the necessary experience to work with high achieving teenagers as well as those with learning difficulties. Along with this I carried out one to one peer study assistance at my university to help the students with lower ability in maths and sciences. With the culmination of my Teacher Training PGCE at the institute of Education, I have been working in schools across London as a Science teacher. I have been tutoring young people science and maths for over 10 years in London.
