Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring IB DP students for several years since completing the IBDP with a perfect score in Mathematics. My experience focuses on IB Mathematics AA and AI, working with students of varying abilities.

I have supported students in long-term sessions to improve their overall grades and understanding, as well as in focused sessions to tackle specific challenges or prepare for exams. Many of my students have achieved significant improvements in their performance, mastering advanced topics and boosting their confidence.

Tutoring Approach

Before each session, I ask students to specify areas they’d like to focus on, enabling me to prepare by selecting exam-relevant materials and practice problems. I emphasise connecting concepts across topics, ensuring students understand the broader structure of IB Mathematics.

During lessons, I guide students through problem-solving, encouraging active participation and critical thinking. I regularly incorporate past papers to familiarise students with exam-style questions and effective strategies for achieving top marks.

Clear communication is central to my approach. I ask students to explain their thought processes, review assigned homework, and provide feedback to ensure they stay engaged and on track. Using tools like my iPad, I make lessons interactive and accessible, and I recommend additional resources, such as YouTube videos, to support independent study.

By fostering an open, supportive environment, I aim to build students’ confidence and equip them with the skills to succeed in IB Mathematics.
