Personally Interviewed

Tutoring Experience

With over 24 years of teaching experience and 40,000 hours dedicated to education, I specialize in mathematics instruction across a range of prestigious international curricula, including AP, A-Level, GCSE, IGCSE, IB, and SAT Mathematics. My teaching journey has taken me from classrooms to online platforms, where I have guided native and bilingual students from Europe, the USA, China, and the Middle East. Alongside my teaching expertise, I have held roles as an Examiner, ACT, SAT, and AP Coordinator, as well as an AP Examiner, showcasing my comprehensive experience in both instruction and educational administration. My patient and methodical approach ensures personalized learning, focusing on mastering core concepts and developing advanced problem-solving skills, which has helped countless students achieve exceptional results in their exams.

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.

"I feel very lucky to take lessons from my teacher Oktay... His superior experience and fluency in lecturing carried me to very high levels. Thank you, Oktay teacher."

Betul, IB Maths student

"I took AP Calculus courses from Oktay. He 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."
