Mark: Marietta tutor
Certified Tutor
As an educator with a Master's degree (Distinction) from the London School of Economics and an undergraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh, I bring a blend of academic rigor and real-world perspective to my tutoring. My journey in education is not just about imparting knowledge; it's about inspiring a deeper understanding and appreciation for A-Level Economics and Maths. These subjects, in my view, are not just academic disciplines but tools to decode the complexities of the world.
My six years of tutoring experience have been a journey of growth, both for my students and myself. Working primarily with A-Level students, while also extending support to GCSE and university-level learners, has enriched my understanding of diverse educational needs. A highlight of my career was helping a student from Pakistan, new to the UK educational system, achieve top grades in A-Level Economics and Maths. This experience underscored the importance of personalized teaching, a principle that is at the heart of my approach.
In my tutoring sessions, I emphasize the application of knowledge through past paper questions. This method not only prepares students for their exams but also develops their analytical and problem-solving skills. Each student receives a customized curriculum, tailored to their unique strengths and areas for improvement. This personalized approach ensures that learning is not just effective but also engaging.
My role as a journalist covering organized crime and geopolitics adds an extra dimension to my teaching. I incorporate real-world scenarios and current events into lessons, making them more relevant and thought-provoking. This integration helps students see the practical application of what they learn and how it applies to global contexts.
In summary, my tutoring is more than just teaching; it's about mentoring students to achieve their best, not only academically but in their understanding of the world. I am committed to guiding each student on their unique educational journey, helping them unlock their potential and achieve their academic goals.

When I'm not immersed in the world of Economics and Maths, my life is a vibrant canvas of travel and journalism. My passion for travel has taken me to 57 countries, each journey enriching my perspective and understanding of diverse cultures and global dynamics. This extensive travel not only fuels my personal growth but also enhances my teaching, allowing me to bring a wealth of real-world examples into my tutoring sessions. Journalism is another passion that keeps me engaged. Specializing in organized crime and geopolitics, I delve into complex, multifaceted issues that shape our world. This role not only satisfies my curiosity but also keeps me connected with current events and global trends. I often find ways to weave these insights into my lessons, making them more relevant and engaging for my students. These hobbies are not just pastimes; they are integral to who I am as an educator. They allow me to bring a unique perspective to my teaching, one that goes beyond textbooks and traditional learning. By sharing these interests, I hope to inspire my students to see the interconnectedness of their studies with the wider world and to pursue their own passions with curiosity and enthusiasm.
