My name is Maru, and I’m a passionate mathematics educator with over 22 years of experience teaching in both international and local schools. I’m originally from Ethiopia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, a PGCE from the University of Nottingham, and a Master’s in Advanced Education from the University of the People (USA).
I currently teach at an International School, where I also serve as Head of the Mathematics Department. Beyond the classroom, I am a certified IB Examiner. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every learner can excel with the right strategies, encouragement, and support.
Throughout my career, I’ve taught mathematics from middle school up to the IB Diploma Programme (HL & SL), covering a wide range of topics including algebra, functions, statistics, calculus, discrete mathematics, and trigonometry. I have extensive experience with both in-person and online tutoring, and I focus on building students’ conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and confidence.
My approach is always student-centered. I tailor each lesson to an individual’s learning style, provide step-by-step guidance, and connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications. My students frequently comment on my clarity, patience, and supportive style. Many have gone on to achieve excellent results on their IB and other international assessments, with several pursuing degrees in mathematics, engineering, and computer science at top universities.
In addition to one-on-one tutoring, my collaboration with Nail-IB has enabled me to create digital resources for a global community of IB learners, which has further honed my skills in teaching effectively online.
