My academic background includes the Greek equivalent of GCSEs, where I followed a variety of subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and languages and achieved a grade of 16.2/20. I then progressed to the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. My Higher Level subjects were English, Mathematics, and Economics, and my Standard Level subjects were Greek Language & Literature, Physics, and Business & Management. I achieved a total IB score of 39/45, with grade 7 in Economics and Greek, and grade 6 in Mathematics, English, Physics, and Business & Management and I completed my Extended Essay in Mathematics. I then pursued a BSc in Mathematics at the University of Bath, graduating with a 2:1. This degree provided me with a strong foundation in both pure and applied mathematics, covering topics from number theory and calculus to statistics and mathematical modelling. Key modules included Algebra, Probability & Statistics, Advanced Real Analysis, and Differential Equations. After two years working as a Data Analyst, I undertook an MSc in Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, achieving a first-class distinction. My studies included modules such as Bayesian Statistics, Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning with Python, and Graphs & Networks. My thesis is focused on ergodic optimisation of maps and flows.

Throughout my academic career, I have been driven by a deep passion for understanding science and uncovering the meaning behind it. My goal as a tutor is to pass on not just knowledge, but the curiosity and problem-solving mindset that makes learning exciting. I believe it’s essential to grasp the intuition behind a concept before applying it, and I guide my students to do both with confidence. I encourage consistent practice, because mastery comes from applying what we learn until it becomes second nature. My students can expect clear explanations, patience, and a supportive environment where questions are always welcome.

Tutoring Experience

During the second and third years of my BSc degree at the University of Bath I served as a Peer Assisted Study Support mentor, both in-person and online. I supported first-year mathematics students in subjects such as Algebra, Analysis, Advanced calculus and Probability & Statistics. The format included drop-in support sessions and schedules revision sessions, held for one hour weekly during term time (September-May). During my MSc degree I also provided private online tutoring classes to IB students (ages 16-18) in Mathematics, Economics and Physics, delivering 3-hours of lessons per week during school term time.

Tutoring Approach

Lessons can range from one to two hours depending on the needs of each student and their learning patterns. I do not follow a one-size-fits-all approach to tutoring as every student is different. Some students need to focus on the theory to understand the exercises and other students need more practice with exercises to improve their approach. Understanding how test questions are formed is also part of learning.
