Marko

Throughout my 18-year career in technology and education spanning four countries, I have developed a passion for teaching secondary Mathematics. Starting in the corporate world, I transitioned to tutoring and eventually began teaching in international classrooms in 2017. This shift not only broadened my perspective but also motivated me to obtain formal teaching qualifications.

By experiencing different cultural environments, I have become adept at navigating diverse Mathematics curricula, which has significantly enhanced my skills as an educator. My goal is to equip students to become responsible, confident global citizens who are prepared to tackle the challenges of the 21st century.

Tutoring Approach

My main goal is to help students become confident in solving Maths problems independently. It is important for learners to build self-assurance and awareness of their abilities. Every student is unique, so a personalised approach is key for success. I focus on clear structure, rigour, and respect to foster a positive learning environment.
