Maryam: Portsmouth tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a passionate and experienced math educator with a strong focus on elementary education. Over the past decade, I have taught and supported young learners in developing deep mathematical understanding through hands-on, engaging instruction. My work emphasizes number sense, problem-solving, and the use of visual tools and manipulatives to build strong foundational skills.

I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education, and my research has focused on how elementary students learn complex concepts like fractions through visual models. In addition to my university teaching, I've worked directly with children in elementary classrooms, helping them gain confidence and joy in learning math.

As a tutor, I tailor lessons to each student's needs, using proven strategies to support understanding and foster a positive attitude toward math. My goal is to make math both accessible and enjoyable for every child I work with
