My Year 10 daughter has made great progress in Maths with Miriam’s help. My Year 13 daughter’s Biology has also improved steadily thanks to Miriam’s support.

I’m really grateful for all her help over the past year. I truly appreciate her dedication and professionalism.

Thank you so much!

My child has been having sessions with Miriam for over a year, and she has proven to be a very knowledgeable tutor for my daughter in Maths and all Science subjects at GCSE level. She is incredibly methodical and can explain content clearly in a variety of ways to ensure my child understands the topic they are covering. She also covers exam-related questions and helps my child to understand the question and how to answer it properly. My child often struggles with confidence in Maths and Science, but Miriam has helped her overcome this, and her results have shown this too. Highly recommend Miriam to anyone looking for a Maths and/or Science tutor.

Miriam has been a patient, kind, and supportive tutor for my Year 10 son throughout this year. She explains topics clearly and breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps, which has greatly improved his understanding and confidence.

In addition to helping with subject knowledge, Miriam has provided invaluable guidance on how to approach and answer GCSE-style questions effectively. Her encouraging and positive approach has made a real difference, and my son has enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Miriam to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring tutor.

I highly recommend Miriam as a Science and Maths tutor. Her teaching is always clear, structured, and easy to understand. She provides excellent notes and resources that make revision much easier and help me stay organised.
Miriam explains difficult topics in a way that makes sense, and she always makes sure I understand before moving on. Her support has really improved my confidence and understanding in both subjects. I would definitely recommend her to any student looking to improve their grades and enjoy learning.

Miriam has been tutoring my 15 year old home schooled daughter for over a year now, originally in Chemistry but then additionally in Physics from this year as was so happy with the progress she was making.

The plan is for Miriam to support her up to and including her GCSEs in both of these subjects as a result of the confidence my daughter has gained and the improvement in her knowledge and application of the information learnt.

Miriam’s lessons are highly engaging and supportive and tailored to the pace of learning to suit my daughter. She provides structured additional homework and reviews this and any outstanding points to make sure the topics are clearly understood before progressing.

I would highly recommend Miriam to anyone looking for an engaging, supportive, kind and dedicated Science tutor.

Miriam is a wonderful science teacher who genuinely cares about her students' success. She has an amazing ability to simplify difficult topics. Thanks to her encouraging and patient approach, my daughter has gained so much confidence in her skills. We couldn’t ask for a better, more trustworthy educator

We are incredibly grateful for Miriam’s exceptional dedication and professional approach to teaching science. She tailors each lesson to my daughter’s specific needs. Thanks to her structured guidance and consistent encouragement, my daughter’s grades have shown steady, measurable improvement in one year. Her responsibility and commitment to student success are truly commendable.

She is well-prepared in advance, identifies students' weaknesses, and finds efficient ways to tackle them. I feel so lucky to have Miriam to help my students. Teenagers love Miriam’s lessons. Great job!

Miriam has been an excellent tutor for our Year 9 daughter. Since working with her, we have seen a huge improvement across both science and maths. She has instilled a new level of confidence, and it has been wonderful to see our daughter’s knowledge, understanding, and ability grow so significantly.

Miriam is professional, supportive, and approachable. She creates a positive online learning environment which has made a real difference to both confidence and academic progress.

Miriam strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness.

We are extremely pleased with the support Miriam has provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding tutor.

Miriam is a great tutor, supporting my daughter in year 11 across the sciences and maths. She was very structured and organised, and the lessons were interesting and in depth. It was a great help to my daughter in covering the extensive curriculum of triple sciences in particular, and in boosting confidence in the lead up to the final exams.

Miriam has been helping my daughter prepare for her GCSE exams in biology, chemistry, maths and physics since the beginning of the year. She provides very useful revision materials and goes over the exam material very patiently. We are waiting for the results but my daughter took the exams with greatly improved confidence. I would recommend Miriam to GCSE students who need help with science and maths.

Miriam is an excellent tutor who did a great job helping my son through his combined science GCSE's. My son very much appreciated her teaching style and made the comment after each paper that "Miriam did it again", referring to her knack of covering many of the topics that came up in the paper. Giving him a lot of confidence that at the very least he was able to perform to his best ability. I would definitely recommend Miriam's services to anyone needing a tutor.

Miriam is a fantastic tutor. She has been tutoring my daughter in GCSE science this year and her grades have been steadily improving. She is kind and great at explaining complex topics well. She prepares thoroughly and her lessons are packed with helpful content. Highly recommended!!

Miriam has been the most amazing tutor over the past 3 years! As a student that had to pass GCSE Science in one year, then continued to study biology at A-level. Miriam has been the biggest support to my learning and interest in the subject. From my overall understanding, and confidence in both biology and chemistry. To continuous support through exam preparation, practice questions, and individual focused attention to any knowledge gaps. Miriam has been invaluable to my progress.

I would definitely recommend Miriam! She is focused and dedicated to your individual needs, but above all to your success.

Miriam is a very professional teacher and was very helpful in assisting the best route for my daughter, thank you Miriam

My son has increasingly improved with his grades and the support that Miriam has provided has been instrumental to this. She takes her time and makes sure that my son understands all.

Miriam is an amazing tutor she helped get through GCSE science and is currently helping me with A level Bio. Not only is she kind and sensitive to your attributes but she also has a variety of study materials that will ensure you have the necessary resources and support for your subjects.

Miriam is a great tutor, both in Math and Science. She is approachable, kind and very thorough. She always adapts her teaching to the specific needs of my child. She is currently preparing my child for her GCSE and I would highly recommend her to any other parents. 5 stars

I have had Miriam for many years as a tutor for all 3 sciences and maths. As well as being an amazind teacher, explaining things clearly and finding ways to help you learn the best, she will also go over and above to do things like give you extra lesson time to make sure you know things and provide good resources. She is also a great person who is very understanding and kind and can help you to develop as a person too.

Miriam tutored my son for two years and guided him to secure top most grades in combined sciences in his GCSEs.

After relocating to UK, my son was trying hard to adjust himself to the new surroundings.

So from the outset, Miriam understood the challenges my son had, his knowledge level at that time and the potential he has, future aspirations and parents' expectations.

Miriam planned well and kind to accommodate our feedbacks too. Every session was purposeful with clear objective and outcome. She set up multiple mock tests, corrected his answer sheets and provided excellent feedback and words of wisdom. All these contributed in my son's success.

Biggest improvement was the confidence level of my son at the end of the journey.

I really appreciate Miriam for going extra mile always and being flexible. Without Miriam's positive influence and excellent tutoring, it would not have been possible for my son to secure the top most grade.

I will strongly recommend Miriam anytime.

Miriam was my tutor and worked with me for three years, throughout my GCSEs and A-Levels. I was impressed with Miriam’s flexibility, she is able to tutor in all of the sciences, and is able to tailor a lesson to your needs immediately. Miriam has an incredibly thorough knowledge of the content necessary for Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs and Biology and Chemistry A-Levels (and I’m certain more) and has the resources to give you a presentation or practice exam questions on any topic you require, as well as the unwavering endurance to go through endless past papers. She is incredibly patient, lovely and friendly; she welcomes questions and will make sure she has explained absolutely everything so that you have a complete understanding of the topic. I would recommend Miriam as a tutor, she has all the qualities that make the best teachers and will be able to support her clients through their studies, no matter their needs, and I will miss my lessons with her.

My son’s grades have gone up since Miriam started tutoring . He has been getting marks higher than other students in his class. He gives all thanks to Miriam

I recommend Miriam because she motivated my son Kingsley to develop interest in his science and he is doing well in it.
She is super good in terms of impacting the knowledge on your child so far your child is willing to learn.

Miriam is an excellent tutor. My child loves her weekly sessions. Miriam is clear, organised and extremely reliable. She makes sure my child understands the basic concepts before moving to complex concepts. My child got best maths student of the year and top mark in both maths and science!

Absolutely amazing tutor, went above and beyond for my daughter and always ensured she understood everything.
Polite, helpful and honest individual - we have nothing negative at all to say! 1st Class and highly recommend

I highly recommend Miriam for GCSE science and maths. My son (in year 10 now) is having 1 on 1 sessions with Miriam for more than a year now. As we relocated to UK recently, Miriam's help in smooth transitioning to new curriculum was immense. She explains the concept and ensures my son understands clearly. She provides consistent feedback and testing his knowledge which is very helpful. Looking forward to continue my son's GCSE journey with Miriam.

Miriam has been a game changer for my daughters education. I reached out to Miriam when my daughter was at grade level D with no confidence in her ability. With Miriam's professionalism, well planned lessons, support and kindness, her understanding of the content and confidence grew. My daughter was successfully awarded a double AA for or her combined science GCSE with the Cambridge exam board. Now in year 12 and taking A level biology, Miriam continues to be an integral support. In my daughters own words "mum, when I don't understand, Miriam explains it to me and I understand". Miriam goes above and beyond, her lessons are tailored to my daughters needs and progress. Her kindness and support has helped my daughter to believe in herself and succeed. Miriam is personalble and easy to contact , she responds quickly; organising lessons with Miriam is simple and easy. I strongly reccomend Miriam, she is an excellent teacher.

I have used Miriam for both my Year 10 and Year 11 children as they both find her teaching so good. She has helped my daughter jump up two grades in Science and helped my son understand the trickier areas he wasn’t grasping. I highly recommend Miriam for her support and encouragement in such a friendly and warm manner.
Would not hesitate to share Miriam’s details with friends looking for a tutor.

Miriam is an excellent tutor. She professionally supports my daughter in iGCSE Biology and explains everything clearly.

Miriam has been a great teacher for my daughter for the last couple of years. She is truly competent, kind and friendly. The results are there with 2 As at GCSE for double science.
Now she is continuing into A-levels in Biology and Chemistry and all is going very well. Thank you Miriam!

As one of Miriam's English teachers during her Year 10 stay in Macclesfield, I feel well placed to offer a reference for her regarding her English language ability and her work ethic, both of which are very good.
During her time at All Hallows' Catholic High School, Miriam took part in a full curriculum, at the end of which she gained a Level 2 in both Adult Literacy and in Adult Numeracy exams by Edexcel and a Grade B Science GCSE. She studied all the necessary texts for the GCSEs she would have taken in English at the end of Year 11 had she stayed in England.
We have maintained regular contact since Miriam returned to Portugal in 2007; I was particularly pleased when she came back to England to study at Nottingham University and gained an MSc last year.
Miriam's work ethic is very positive. She has a happy, outgoing personality and I'm sure she will be an asset to this site.
