Teaching Experience
I am a qualified Maths teacher with experience teaching students of different ages, backgrounds and abilities. I have experience teaching directly in s schools as well as private tuition.
I have taught BGE, Key Stage 3, National 5, GCSE/IGCSE (Foundation and Higher levels), and Higher Maths, working with pupils both one-to-one and in small groups.
I was also teaching in school during the pandemic and successfully supported my pupils in maintaining progress, achieving strong results and moving on to the next stage of their education despite the disruption to learning.
I hold an Enhanced DBS check.
Alongside teaching, I create structured Maths courses and learning resources designed to help students strengthen their understanding, practise independently and prepare effectively for exams.
Teaching Approach
Every student learns differently, so I use a range of explanations, methods and techniques to find the approach that makes the most sense to each individual pupil. If one method does not click, we try another until the student feels confident with both the process and the reasoning behind it.
Over the years, I have supported pupils both in school and through private tuition, helping them progress through different stages of their education, prepare for exams and work towards the grades they need for their future plans, including college and university applications.
I believe that successful tutoring is a partnership. The pupil still needs to put in the effort, but my role is to guide them, explain difficult concepts clearly, identify gaps in their knowledge and show them how to close those gaps effectively. I also teach exam technique, including how to interpret questions, choose the right method and understand what examiners are looking for.
Where appropriate, I provide targeted homework and practice between lessons so that pupils revisit what we have covered, strengthen retention and build confidence through independent study.
My aim is to give each student the combination of clear teaching, structure, encouragement and exam knowledge they need to make meaningful progress and achieve their goals.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Olga I.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Olga has been a fantastic Higher Maths tutor for my daughter. Olga is friendly, very attentive, with good teaching methods. My daughter’s confidence towards maths has grown exponentially since starting her tutorials with Olga. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Thank you Fiona, you're very kind

I couldn't recommend Olga more highly. She is professional and has multiple ways to show students how to solve problems if one way doesn't work for them. This was particularly the case for our daughter who, after the first lesson, told us, "I never understood completing the square but now I get it." This has been the case for everything they have covered to date and it is great to see our daughter growing in confidence ahead of her exams.
Olga I. replied
Hi Nick, Thank you so much for your review. I am happy I was able to help :)

Olga has helped me improve my maths during these past months, she has helped me improve my confidence in maths. Olga is very patient and always explains any doubts I have. I have received my GCSE’s results and I’m very proud to say I got a 6 in maths. Olga helped me go from a 4 in maths to improving 2 grades up in a space of a few months. Both me and my parents are very happy with Olga’s service. Thank you for all the help !!
Olga I. replied
Hi Mariana, Thank you so much for your feedback! It was a real pleasure working with you and I am very proud of your results :) Wishing you all the best! Olga

Olga taught my daughter GCSE Maths. It fair to say Maths was not her favourite subject and she struggled. With Olga’s help and perseverance, she has just achieved a GCSE Grade 7 in maths (towards the top end of the grade boundary). I’m blown away with my daughter’s Maths results! Many thanks Olga.

Hi Martin, thank you so much for your feedback and your kind words :)

I cannot recommend Olga enough - she is a fantastic Maths tutor and is an expert in her field; professional, friendly, understanding and always on time for tuition lessons. Communication with Olga was perfect, she understood my child’s needs and worked with them to help them reach their full potential. I only wish we had found Olga at the start of the school term!
