Homework Help & Study Support – Math,
From 23.22 £ /h
I offer structured homework help and study support for students in primary school and secondary school. Many parents have busy schedules or feel that school material has changed a lot — I am happy to support your child so homework becomes less stressful.
During the sessions I help students:
• understand homework assignments
• review difficult topics from class
• prepare for upcoming tests
• develop good study habits and organization
I can help with:
• Mathematics
• English
• German (native speaker)
• general homework support
I have experience tutoring students from international schools and Austrian & German schools, and I adapt the sessions to each student’s needs.
My goal is not only to finish the homework together but also to help students gain confidence and learn how to study independently.

About Me
Hi there :)
I am Saphira and I moved from Austria to the Netherlands 1,5 years ago to do my Master’s in Astronomy at Leiden University. I started tutoring in high school, where I helped my classmates and younger students in various subjects. My main strengths have always been German and Mathematics. Since I began tutoring in high school and have continued ever since, I now have 7 years of tutoring experience with children, teenagers, and university students.
My teaching style is structured, patient, and goal-oriented: I break topics down into clear steps, explain the “why” behind methods, and help you practice until you feel confident. I’m especially good at helping students who feel stuck or think they’re “not good at languages/math”. We’ll build strong fundamentals and make steady progress.
I enjoy working with school students, and university students, whether your goal is better grades, exam preparation, improving conversation skills, or stronger writing.
Lessons are available online and in person if you’re nearby. Feel free to message me with your level, goals, and timeline, and I’ll suggest a clear plan for our first sessions!

As an MSc Astronomy student, I work with mathematics every day, and over the years I’ve learned how to explain it in a way that feels clear and intuitive, not overwhelming. What I would say I’m especially good at is helping students who feel like math is “not for them”: I break problems down into simpler steps, show the logic behind the method, and help you build confidence through practice.
I have been tutoring for about 7 years and have helped students improve their grades, prepare for exams, and finally understand topics they previously found confusing.
What I can help you with:
- Homework support and catching up on missed topics
- Exam preparation (practice questions + strategy)
- Building strong foundations: fractions, percentages, algebra, equations, functions, graphs, geometry
- Improving study habits and avoiding common mistakes
How lessons usually work:
- We start with your level, goals, and what your teacher expects
- I explain concepts step-by-step, then we practice together with similar exercises
- We’ll write short summaries and you'll get optional homework so you improve between sessions
- If you have a test coming up, we can do focused exam-style practice
Lessons are available online and in person if you’re nearby. Send me a message with the student’s school level/year and what you need help with, and I’ll suggest a plan for the first sessions.

As an MSc Astronomy student, I completed university-level courses in Calculus/Analysis and Linear Algebra during my Bachelor’s studies. Over the years, I’ve learned how to explain concepts in a way that feels clear and intuitive, not overwhelming. If you want to pass your course with more confidence, I can help by working directly with your syllabus, lecture notes, assignments, and past exams. Together, we’ll practice efficiently and focus on the types of problems that matter most.
