About Me
Hi I’m Maria, a second-year dental student with a strong academic background and a genuine passion for helping others learn. Having achieved top grades at GCSE and A-level, I know how important it is to have clear explanations, effective revision strategies, and the confidence to approach challenging topics. I offer tailored tutoring in Biology and Chemistry, from lower key stages through to GCSE and A-level, and I always adapt my lessons to match each student’s learning style, whether that’s building strong foundations, focusing on exam technique, or stretching towards higher grades.
Alongside subject support, I provide guidance for students applying to dentistry, including help with personal statements, interview preparation, and UCAT tutoring. Having gone through the process myself recently, I understand how competitive and daunting it can feel, and I aim to break things down and make it much more manageable for future applicants. My goal is not only to help students achieve excellent results but also to build their confidence and enjoyment of learning, whatever stage they are at.
My teaching style
My teaching style is flexible and tailored to each student’s age, ability, and goals. I believe it’s important to strike the right balance, so students feel motivated and challenged while never feeling overwhelmed. I aim to make lessons supportive, engaging, and confidence-building.
My Proudest Achievements
Securing a place at Dental school after balancing A-level revision, UCAT preparation, and work experience, all while overcoming personal challenges.
