Science and maths tutoring to help Doncaster children achieve in school

STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects are often the ones that children struggle with in school which is why Marta Mathews, a 26-year-old tutor from Bessacar set up her own tutoring business.

Marta said: “I started the business two years ago after working as a tutor on middlemen websites.

“I realised that there was a gap in the market in Doncaster, no one could offer a service for all the science and math subjects in one place.

“So I set up Smarta Tutoring, we tutor all the way from SATS to A-levels.”

Marta and the six other tutors at Smarta Tutoring all have university degrees and a specialism within a STEM subject.

When the government announced that there would be no exams this year due to the coronavirus many of Marta’s pupils were no longer in need of a tutor.

But despite this turn of events, her business is still thriving as now they have turned their attention towards online tutoring via Zoom.

“We have found that there is a huge demand for science and math tutors in Doncaster,” Marta continued.

“Education is the way forward and many universities want their students to have some qualifications in those subjects.”

Marta herself has a degree in Physics and says that at least half of their students are female and she is glad to see so many girls pursuing education in STEM.
