About Mariyah
I’m a Law graduate from the London School of Economics, with a strong academic background and a genuine passion for education. I have a high 2:1 in my degree, three A*'s in my A level studies of English, Spanish and History, and all GCSE grades at 8's or 9's.
Over the past two years, I’ve worked closely with students of varying abilities, supporting them to make significant progress in English. Many improving from level 2's and 3s to 6s, 7s, and even 8s.
My approach to teaching is centred on creating a supportive, safe, and non-judgemental environment where students feel comfortable expressing their ideas and taking intellectual risks. I believe that confidence is key to progress, and I work hard to build that in every student I teach.
At the same time, I challenge my students to think critically and engage deeply with texts. I aim not just to help them achieve strong exam results, but to equip them with lifelong skills in communication, analysis, and independent thinking that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.

I teach across all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel (I/GCSE), OCR, Eduqas, and CIE IGCSE, so I’m very familiar with the different requirements and expectations of each syllabus. While I support students at all levels, I have particular expertise at A Level, where the demands of analysis, essay writing, and independent thought are much higher.
I have studied a wide range of literature—from earlier works through to modern texts—and I’m confident supporting students with any text they may be struggling with. Whether it’s a specific novel, play, or poem, I work with students to turn areas of uncertainty into strengths.
At A Level, I focus on the skills that make the biggest difference: understanding context, engaging with critical interpretations, structuring high-quality essays, and—often the most overlooked—developing a clear, personal response to a writer’s methods. I help students move beyond simply describing what happens in a text to analysing how and why it is written in a particular way.
Together, we build confidence in tackling complex ideas, deepen understanding of texts, and develop the ability to form and articulate clear, well-supported arguments.

I know Mariyah as my tutor, and she has consistently been supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in my progress. What I appreciate most about her teaching is how she explains complex topics in a clear, simple way and adapts her approach to suit how I learn best. She makes lessons engaging and never makes me feel judged for asking questions.
One experience that really stood out was when I was struggling with a difficult topic—she took extra time to break it down step by step and checked in to make sure I fully understood before moving on. That made a huge difference to my confidence.
Mariyah is not only knowledgeable but also encouraging and approachable, which makes learning with her both effective and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring tutor.Mariyah was recommended to me by a friend and honestly I’m really glad I chose her. She’s really friendly, patient and makes you feel comfortable straight away, which is helpful when you’re learning something new.
What I like most is that she explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. She adapts the lessons to your level and includes a lot of conversation practice, which has helped me feel a lot more confident speaking Spanish.
After only a few lessons I noticed a big difference in how much I understood and how comfortable I felt trying to speak. She makes the lessons feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than like hard work.
I’d definitely recommend Mariyah to anyone looking for a Spanish tutor.Mariyah was an amazing English tutor with great knowledge and a very supportive teaching style. She had really helped improve my confidence in the subject and always made learning feel comfortable and easy to understand she is very skilled at breaking down difficult topics into simple explanations. She clearly knows her subject very well and teaches it with confidence and clarity. Anyone would be lucky to learn from her
