I'm a Master of Science student in Chemical Engineering. I offer private lessons in science and engineering subjects. This class is ideal for school and university students who need to practice with exercises, understand concepts or explanations.

I love teaching. I spent 2 years teaching as an undergraduate assistant in many college classes.

I look forward to meeting you!

Renzo Diaz — IB Math (AA/AI) and Physics (SL/HL) tutor, online in CET. Teaching IB one-to-one since April 2016. M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano.

Ten years teaching IB Math and Physics one-to-one, every lesson myself, and I publish the results I can prove:
• a final 7 in IB Physics SL (May 2025, from a 3, the first exam session of the new syllabus)
• a final 6 in IB Math AI HL (May 2025, from a 4)
• Grade 7 in both IB Math AI SL exam papers (May 2024, from a 3)

How I teach: bring the question your child keeps getting wrong. I find the first step that isn't reliable — a missing concept, a misread graph, an algebra slip — rebuild the explanation around how your child thinks, then change the question to check the fix holds. Each week starts from what is live at school and last week's wrong answers.

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) — algebra, functions, calculus and proof, Paper 1 without a calculator and, at HL, Paper 3. Applications and Interpretation (AI) — modelling, statistics and the graphic display calculator. AA or AI, SL or HL: I help families decide from the university courses the student is aiming at.

IB Physics, SL and HL, on the current guide: the five themes, Papers 1A, 1B and 2, data-based questions, uncertainties and graphs; at HL, the extensions and the long extended-response questions. My engineering training (M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano) shows in how I teach it: define the system, state the assumptions, then connect the model to the mathematics.

The IA and the Extended Essay: guidance only, within the IB's academic-integrity rules — the student writes every word.

Drawing on my experience teaching various standardized tests alongside school curricula, I have found that the biggest challenge students face in achieving a perfect score on the SAT Math section is shifting away from the traditional classroom habit of "showing every step of the solution" toward a highly efficient strategy that yields the correct answer while optimizing time. Instead of performing lengthy calculations, I help you focus on problem-solving tactics, shortcuts, and rapid solution methods. To ensure you achieve a perfect score, I will equip you with the strategies and skills needed to reach the final answer quickly and accurately.

We cover the four key domains tested by the College Board, prioritizing the most critical and impactful topics that account for 70% of your score:
Algebra (approx. 35%): Linear equations, inequalities, functions, and systems of equations.
Advanced Math (approx. 35%): Quadratic equations, exponential functions, and non-linear models.
Problem Solving and Data Analysis (approx. 15%): Ratios, percentages, probability, and complex statistical data.
Geometry and Trigonometry (approx. 15%): Area and volume calculations, circle theorems, and right-triangle trigonometry.

During our lessons, you will learn:
All the shortcuts and tactics needed to solve questions correctly in under one minute!
When and how to efficiently use the built-in graphing calculator to save time and verify your answers.
When to use "plugging in numbers" or "back-solving" methods instead of performing the full algebraic solution steps.
Handling the "Grid-in" section (questions requiring a written answer), where there are no multiple-choice options to rely on.
How to avoid formatting errors and steer clear of incorrect answers designed to mislead the student.

Struggling with IB Mathematics or aiming for a 6 or 7?

I help IB Mathematics students build a stronger understanding of difficult concepts, improve their problem-solving skills, and prepare confidently for their exams.

Whether you're struggling with a particular topic, finding past paper questions challenging, or aiming to achieve a higher grade, I tailor each lesson to your level, learning style, and academic goals.

⭐ **5-star rated tutor**, recognized for clear explanations, structured lessons, and effective teaching methods.

What we will focus on:

• Understanding Key Concepts: Develop a solid understanding of Algebra, Functions, Calculus, Statistics, Probability, and other topics covered in the IB Mathematics syllabus.

• Exam Preparation: Work through IB past paper questions, understand what examiners are looking for, and learn how to approach challenging problems systematically.

• Problem-Solving Techniques: Learn how to break down complex questions, identify the appropriate methods, and avoid common mistakes.

• Exam Strategy and Time Management: Improve your speed and accuracy, structure your solutions clearly, and learn how to earn marks consistently.

• Personalized Practice: Identify your weaker areas, strengthen your understanding through targeted exercises, and track your progress over time.

My teaching approach

I believe that success in Mathematics comes from genuinely understanding the concepts rather than simply memorizing formulas.
My lessons focus on explaining difficult ideas in a clear and accessible way, building confidence through guided practice, and helping students develop the independence to solve unfamiliar problems.
Each lesson is adapted to your individual needs, whether you're working to strengthen your foundations or preparing for your final IB examinations.
During our first session, we'll assess your current level, identify areas for improvement, and develop a personalized study plan based on your goals.

Lessons are available online for IB Mathematics students at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL).

Feel free to send me a message with your IB Mathematics course, current grade, and target grade. I'd be happy to discuss how we can work towards your goals together.
