Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

With 24+ years and over 40,000 hours of teaching, I have guided students in IB Maths (AA and AI SL/HL), AP Calculus, and AP Statistics. My experience spans classrooms and online platforms, working with native and bilingual learners across Europe, the USA, China, and the Middle East. As an Examiner and AP Coordinator, I bring unparalleled expertise in teaching and assessment.

Tutoring Approach

I begin by assessing the student’s current knowledge using mock exams or past papers to identify gaps. Based on this evaluation, I tailor a program that focuses on their specific weaknesses, ensuring targeted and effective learning. I use my own materials to guide sessions, promoting active engagement rather than passive relearning.

I prioritize an interactive teaching style, encouraging students to talk and think through problems more than I do. This approach fosters deeper understanding and critical thinking. Customized homework is assigned regularly, and mock exams are provided monthly to track progress. I meticulously log student results, including homework and exam scores, and review these with them to ensure consistent improvement. If a student’s progress stalls, I have open discussions to identify challenges and address them effectively while encouraging consistent revision. Clear communication with the company ensures alignment and regular updates on the student’s progress, creating a collaborative and transparent process that supports their success.

Betul, IB Maths student

"Mr Oktay works very devotedly. He answers all my questions and while lecturing, he explains the points I do not understand over and over again. After the lesson, he solves the homework assignments on WhatsApp and sends them to me, and if necessary, he reminds me again before starting the new lesson. I am very happy with his performance in the online classes I take, the applications he uses and the way he shares notes/books with me are also great. He is very patient, he knows very well what he is doing and how the subject should be explained according to my level. I am glad I met Oktay and took lessons from him. I am very satisfied and I recommend him to all my friends."
