Math for Kids (Ages 6–13): Confidence, Understanding, and Joy

Hello! My name is Stella. I have two university degrees: one in Clinical Psychology and one in Engineering Mathematics. This rare combination helps me see not just the numbers, but also how a child's mind works — where they struggle, why they feel stuck, and how to gently guide them forward.

I specialize in teaching children aged 6 to 13. Whether your child is just starting with basic arithmetic, needs support with fractions, pre-algebra, or geometry, or simply needs to build confidence in math — I'm here to help.

I also have extensive experience working with children with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences. I know how to adapt explanations, hold attention, and create a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes and ask questions.

Lessons are conducted in Russian, but all mathematical terms are explained in English as well — this helps children easily navigate international textbooks (Common Core) and prepares them for future bilingual learning environments.

More than 10 years of teaching experience, including 5 years fully online. I work with students from all over the world from my base in Cyprus.

The first lesson is a friendly diagnostic session — we'll get to know each other, assess strengths and areas for growth, and build a personalized learning plan.

About Me

Hello! I'm Stella.

I’ve always been fascinated by two things: how numbers work and how people think. That’s why I became both an Engineer-Mathematician and a Clinical Psychologist. These two paths may seem different, but together they give me a unique perspective on teaching. I don’t just explain formulas — I see how a child’s mind processes information, where it gets stuck, and how to gently guide it forward.

I’ve been teaching mathematics for over 10 years, with the last 5 years fully online. I love working with children aged 6 to 13, especially those who find math difficult or feel anxious about it. Every child is different, and I enjoy the challenge of finding that one explanation that makes things click.

I believe that math is not about memorising rules — it’s about understanding, curiosity, and confidence. My goal is to make sure every child leaves a lesson feeling a little smarter and a lot more confident.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and learning new things. I currently live in Cyprus and work with students from all over the world.

I look forward to meeting you and your child!

Здравствуйте! Я Стелла.

Меня всегда увлекали две вещи: как устроены числа и как работает человеческий мозг. Поэтому я стала и инженером-математиком, и клиническим психологом. Эти два образования помогают мне видеть в каждом ученике не просто школьника, а личность — со своими сильными сторонами, страхами и способами восприятия.

Я преподаю математику уже более 10 лет, из них 5 лет — онлайн. Больше всего я люблю работать с детьми от 6 до 13 лет, особенно с теми, кто считает математику сложной или скучной. Для меня нет ничего радостнее, чем видеть, как у ребёнка загораются глаза, когда он наконец понимает тему.

Убеждена, что математика — это не заучивание правил, а логика, любопытство и уверенность. Моя цель — чтобы после каждого занятия ребёнок чувствовал себя чуточку умнее и гораздо увереннее.

Живу на Кипре, работаю с учениками со всего мира. Буду рада познакомиться с вами и вашим ребёнком!

Does your child understand mathematics, but their results don't reflect their effort?

He gets average grades despite his hard work?
He understands the lesson but loses points in the exercises?
Is he lacking in method, precision, or confidence?
Does he want to move to a higher level and achieve better results?

I can help him identify what is causing him to lose points and to implement a more effective work method.

I am a mathematics teacher with 15 years of teaching experience and hold a Master's degree in mathematics. I tutor middle and high school students, particularly in the French and Moroccan curricula.

🎯 UNDERSTANDING WHY GRADES ARE NOT IMPROVING

Two students with the same grade can have completely different difficulties.

One may lack basic knowledge.
The other person may understand the lesson but not know how to solve the exercises.
Another person may have the necessary knowledge but lose many points due to errors in calculation, reasoning, or writing.

That is why I begin by identifying the difficulties that are actually limiting the student's progress.

📈 HOW TO IMPROVE RESULTS?

We are working specifically on:

• a thorough understanding of the course;
• mastery of fundamental concepts;
• the solution method;
• the analysis of the statements;
• mathematical reasoning;
• calculation and logic errors;
• drafting the solutions;
• exercises of progressive difficulty;
• time management during checks;
• autonomy in the face of exercises.

The goal is not to do dozens of exercises without a method.

We seek to understand the errors, correct bad habits and gradually build effective automatic processes.

🧠 A METHOD TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT

During the sessions, I am not simply trying to provide the solution.

I guide the student so that they gradually learn to:

Understand → Analyze → Choose a method → Solve → Verify

This approach allows the student to better manage exercises when working alone.

The goal is for him to need less and less help over time.

📚 FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO IMPROVE

This support can be particularly useful for a student who:

• wants to improve his grades;
• wants to consolidate his knowledge;
• aims for better results in controls;
• wants to get ahead of the program;
• prepares for an important year;
• wants to gradually prepare for the Brevet or the Baccalaureate;
• understands the concepts but lacks effectiveness in exercises.

I adapt the exercises and the pace of work to the actual level of each student.

💻 INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSES

The classes are held remotely using Google Meet and an interactive whiteboard.

The student actively participates throughout the session: he searches, answers questions, completes exercises and explains his reasoning.

I can also send screenshots of the work done during the session so that the student can review the important concepts after the lesson.

🏆 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

With 15 years of experience in teaching mathematics, I have supported students with very different levels, objectives and difficulties.

For my final year students who were tutored in mathematics, I achieved a 100% success rate in the Baccalaureate, with 75% obtaining a distinction of "Bien" or "Très Bien".

My goal is to use this experience to provide personalized and practical support.

📩 DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO PROGRESS?

In your message, simply tell me:

• its level;
• his current average in mathematics;
• the difficulties he encounters;
• its objective.

This will allow me to better understand his situation and determine the points to work on as a priority.

My goal is simple: to help the student better understand mathematics, correct their mistakes, improve their methods and make lasting progress.

I offer one-to-one Maths tuition for GCSE, A-Level, and university students, both online and in person around Birmingham. Whether your child is struggling with the basics, preparing for upcoming exams, or aiming for top grades, I tailor every lesson to where they actually are — not where a textbook assumes they should be.

What I cover:

GCSE Maths (all exam boards — AQA, Edexcel, OCR)
A-Level Maths and Further Maths
University-level Maths for engineering and science students
Specific topics: algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, mechanics, logic

How I teach:
I break difficult concepts down into simple steps, use plenty of worked examples, and give students clear practice between sessions. I'm patient with mistakes, encouraging when things feel hard, and honest about what needs work. Lessons are structured but relaxed students should feel comfortable asking "silly" questions, because those are usually the most important ones.
Exam season is right now, so if your child has GCSEs or A-Levels coming up, the next few weeks are the most important time to get focused support. I have limited slots available and can usually start within a few days.

Videoconference courses for Second, First and Final year of the French program, specializing in mathematics and expert mathematics.

The first year of high school is crucial. It's when students and their families decide whether to continue or drop their chosen specialization, and this decision will shape their entire post-secondary path: access to engineering schools, preparatory classes, and scientific and economic fields of study. A negative first year can close doors that are difficult to reopen.

Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics), more than five years of private tutoring for students in the AEFE network and the Mission laïque.

Covered program

Second year — functions, vectors, statistics and probabilities, algorithms
First specialty — sequences, differentiation, quadratic polynomials, dot product, conditional probabilities
Final year specialization — limits, continuity, logarithms and exponentials, integration, counting, binomial law, geometry in space
Advanced mathematics — complex numbers, arithmetic, matrices and graphs
Preparing for the Baccalaureate exam: sample questions, time management, writing

Method

I begin by identifying where the student is actually losing points: understanding the material, choosing the right method, or writing style. These are three different problems that require three different approaches. We then work on past exam papers and sample questions, under exam conditions.

I also support students enrolled in CNED and those preparing for their post-baccalaureate orientation.
