About Me

Hi! I am Karina, a Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence student at the University of Edinburgh. With 3 years of experience in tutoring maths and English, I am passionate about helping others and learning. I love learning and giving others a chance to shine. Alongside tutoring, I have been involved with several volunteering opportunities where I did beach clean ups, worked with local non profits, and created fundraisers for organizations I have been involved with.
My teaching style is flexible, I can adapt to your needs and keep the class fun and engaging, yet still effective!
A bit about me--I love reading, yoga, going on walks, and spending time with my family. I also enjoy exploring new places and ideas. I believe that having a good laugh and helping others out is important.
If all this floats your boat, feel free to reach out! :)

I teach English classes up to C1 level. I have a degree in English Studies and I have lived, studied and worked in cities such as London and Lancaster in the United Kingdom.

My classes are tailored to be interesting and relevant to each student. For adults in particular, I teach based on what interests the student, studying things like pieces of music, episodes of series, stories and other short texts, news in English – the possibilities are endless! From this, we will learn vocabulary and grammar in a natural way, without the rigid and boring study of rules. For children, I also teach exclusively in English!

Maryam
Private lessons in Arabic and English to build my little champions from the beginning
My name is Mariam from the United Arab Emirates. I specialize in establishing children from 4 years old to third grade in Arabic and English subjects with more than seven years of experience in teaching. I love children and I have patience in understanding the needs of my young students. I establish them and teach them new words. My priorities are to explain in detail and in stages until the child acquires the information. I send the exercises to the guardian before the specified class time to print them for the child. If he has a printer, I contact the guardian at the end of the class to tell him about the level of their child with me. May God bless you, my little heroes 🤍
