About Miriam
Hello, my name is Miriam Pacheco, and I am an experienced tutor and a fully qualified science teacher, with a background in teaching at secondary schools in Nottingham. Currently, my focus is on delivering online tuition.
I find immense satisfaction in helping children grasp concepts they might have found challenging or previously thought were beyond their abilities – witnessing that “aha” moment when they suddenly understand is truly rewarding!
I have experience in teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Physics up to GCSE level, as well as Biology and Chemistry for AS and A-level students. I am also confident in mathematics and have successfully taught this subject up to the GCSE level in an engaging and practical manner. I am well-acquainted with various exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, International Edexcel and International Cambridge.
Ultimately, my goal is to inspire my students to love learning as much as I do!
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

My tutoring sessions are tailored specifically to the needs of each pupil, ensuring their progress and academic success. My teaching approach involves guiding students to answer questions independently by providing suggestions, rather than giving away the answers outright. I incorporate humour, imagination, and innovation into the learning environment to maintain engaging and effective lessons. With a strong track record of success, I excel in building positive relationships with students, who frequently express their enjoyment of our sessions.
During our sessions, we have the flexibility to focus on any areas you would like to address. This could involve assisting with specific homework assignments, revisiting topics that you haven’t fully grasped in school, or concentrating on exam techniques by answering past exam papers. I will continually assess your strengths and areas for improvement and provide feedback to guide our progress.
Of utmost importance, I aim for my students to develop confidence in both answering and posing questions. I structure my sessions to target the curriculum areas where students feel less secure and to provide opportunities for practising exam techniques. I am familiar with the common misconceptions that students usually have, and I equip them with a set of tools and strategies to help them decode the questions and answer them correctly.

I recommend Miriam because she motivated my son Kingsley to develop interest in his science and he is doing well in it.
She is super good in terms of impacting the knowledge on your child so far your child is willing to learn.Miriam is an excellent tutor. My child loves her weekly sessions. Miriam is clear, organised and extremely reliable. She makes sure my child understands the basic concepts before moving to complex concepts. My child got best maths student of the year and top mark in both maths and science!
Absolutely amazing tutor, went above and beyond for my daughter and always ensured she understood everything.
Polite, helpful and honest individual - we have nothing negative at all to say! 1st Class and highly recommendI highly recommend Miriam for GCSE science and maths. My son (in year 10 now) is having 1 on 1 sessions with Miriam for more than a year now. As we relocated to UK recently, Miriam's help in smooth transitioning to new curriculum was immense. She explains the concept and ensures my son understands clearly. She provides consistent feedback and testing his knowledge which is very helpful. Looking forward to continue my son's GCSE journey with Miriam.
Miriam has been a game changer for my daughters education. I reached out to Miriam when my daughter was at grade level D with no confidence in her ability. With Miriam's professionalism, well planned lessons, support and kindness, her understanding of the content and confidence grew. My daughter was successfully awarded a double AA for or her combined science GCSE with the Cambridge exam board. Now in year 12 and taking A level biology, Miriam continues to be an integral support. In my daughters own words "mum, when I don't understand, Miriam explains it to me and I understand". Miriam goes above and beyond, her lessons are tailored to my daughters needs and progress. Her kindness and support has helped my daughter to believe in herself and succeed. Miriam is personalble and easy to contact , she responds quickly; organising lessons with Miriam is simple and easy. I strongly reccomend Miriam, she is an excellent teacher.
I have used Miriam for both my Year 10 and Year 11 children as they both find her teaching so good. She has helped my daughter jump up two grades in Science and helped my son understand the trickier areas he wasn’t grasping. I highly recommend Miriam for her support and encouragement in such a friendly and warm manner.
Would not hesitate to share Miriam’s details with friends looking for a tutor.Miriam is an excellent tutor. She professionally supports my daughter in iGCSE Biology and explains everything clearly.
Miriam has been a great teacher for my daughter for the last couple of years. She is truly competent, kind and friendly. The results are there with 2 As at GCSE for double science.
Now she is continuing into A-levels in Biology and Chemistry and all is going very well. Thank you Miriam!As one of Miriam's English teachers during her Year 10 stay in Macclesfield, I feel well placed to offer a reference for her regarding her English language ability and her work ethic, both of which are very good.
During her time at All Hallows' Catholic High School, Miriam took part in a full curriculum, at the end of which she gained a Level 2 in both Adult Literacy and in Adult Numeracy exams by Edexcel and a Grade B Science GCSE. She studied all the necessary texts for the GCSEs she would have taken in English at the end of Year 11 had she stayed in England.
We have maintained regular contact since Miriam returned to Portugal in 2007; I was particularly pleased when she came back to England to study at Nottingham University and gained an MSc last year.
Miriam's work ethic is very positive. She has a happy, outgoing personality and I'm sure she will be an asset to this site.View more recommendations
