Alexis Makrides

Hi, I’m Alexis—an engineering student and patient, results-focused maths tutor who blends clear explanations with smart practice. My lessons are calm, structured, and practical: we open with a quick retrieval warm-up, clarify the core concept using visuals and live worked examples, then move into guided practice before you try exam-style problems independently; we finish with a concise recap and a micro-plan so you know exactly what to work on next. I teach first-year engineering mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, vectors, complex numbers, differential equations, basic numerical methods), A-Level Mathematics (Pure, Mechanics, and Statistics), and high school, middle, and primary school maths, from number sense and fractions to algebra, geometry, and problem-solving. I adapt the pace and techniques to each learner—breaking down tricky ideas into simple, repeatable steps—and I encourage students to talk through their methods so we can spot and fix gaps early. Lessons can be online or in person, using an interactive whiteboard plus tools like Desmos or GeoGebra; I provide clean lesson notes and targeted practice sets, including past-paper style questions aligned to exam boards. Between sessions, I promote steady progress with short, focused homework, spaced-practice review, and a personal error log that turns mistakes into “do this instead” rules. You’ll see improvements not just in grades but in speed, accuracy, and confidence—especially in translating worded problems into equations and choosing efficient methods under time pressure. Whether you’re preparing for assessments, rebuilding foundations, or aiming for top marks, I’ll meet you where you are, set clear goals, and guide you step by step toward mastery.
