About Maria

I was very fortunate to have been taught in Edinburgh by fantastic professors and want to share this knowledge and inspiration with others. I have taught pupils since 2016 and over the past 6 years have delivered over 3,000 classes, seeing my pupils' hard work earn them a place at the universities of their choice. Please read their stories and comments at the bottom of this page - see their journey towards achieving their goals.

About the lesson

I can assist pupils preparing for their GCSEs, A-levels (AQA, CIE, OCR, Edexcel and EDUQAS exam boards) and IELTS examinations.

The lesson structure consists of:

15' of a powerpoint presentation on the topic in focus: I present separate presentations on each topic and question of the exam paper.

Extended task: a skills-focused or pastpaper exercise, followed by detailed oral and written feedback.

Summary quiz at the end of the class.

For my pupils, I also offer the following:

Personalised lesson timetable: To make sure we are strategic in our approach and prioritise all the key skills

No extra charge for homework marking: This is free. I do not ask pupils to book a Marking Time session

Free resources: After each class I send you the presentations and bonus documents for your revision

Monthly progression report: To help you organise your studies and to show you how far you have progressed

Vocabulary booklets: To get you to improve your use of academic phraseology

Advanced critics' articles: (For literature pupils) I provide access to literary criticism to boost your analytical skills faster
