Renzo Diaz — Cambridge IGCSE Maths (0580/0607/0606) and Physics (0625) tutor, online in CET. IB tutor since 2016; M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano.

Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics and Physics, one-to-one, from a tutor who has taught the IB since 2016 — so the algebra, the reasoning and the exam pace the IB Diploma will assume are built now, not discovered in DP1.

IGCSE Mathematics: 0580 (Core and Extended), International Mathematics 0607 and Additional Mathematics 0606 — algebra fluency first, the bridge into IB Math AA and AI.

IGCSE Physics 0625, Core and Extended: all six topics — motion, forces and energy; thermal physics; waves; electricity and magnetism; nuclear physics; space physics — and the practical paper (Paper 5 or 6), with the maths inside the physics made fluent: rearranging formulas, units, graphs and gradients.

How I teach: I find the exact step where your child's reasoning breaks — often a topic or two behind the class — rebuild from there, then train exam technique on real past papers. Core or Extended entry caps the grade before the exam: I'll give you an honest view before it is confirmed. One student started with me on IGCSE International Mathematics 0607 and continued through IB Physics HL.

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!

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I have worked for 6 years now with kids from international schools who were "hating" maths because the methods used by their IB teachers were too complicated and hard to understand.

I believe that no one is "not mathematical", we just have to find the way to approach the subject together; I have indeed a few teaching methods that can be adapted to a kids' needs, I believe every kid needs a different method to fully understand the subject.

I provide 3 types of lessons that represent 3 phases:
1. THEORY - Understanding the theory behind the exercises, this phase is the shortest since I believe that to fully understand maths you need to exercise.
2. EXERCISES - Doing exercises divided by subject we. just went through in the theory part.
3. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam.

Dividing the process in 3 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

Hi, my name is Batyrkhan, I am a student of Politecnico di Milano. Mathematics and Science are essential for the most of the majors nowadays and, therefore, knowing these subjects well is a great opportunity to study in a prestigious university and I can help to improve your Mathematics and Science level. As a highschooler, I had A* in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science and Chemistry a lot during my middle school. Moreover, I study engineering now, so I use math and science every day of uni. Being fluent in three languages allows to build communication easily with a student.

As a result, students will get great understanding of Math, Physics and CS and know how to apply them in real life, therefore, their grades will improve too.

Math lesson. We start from your main purpose trying to fill all your gaps! I believe that maths is a chain so, if necessary we will recover all the empty sites! My main purpose is to give you a method so that, after the lesson, you will be able to solve new exercises by yourself!

I promote independent progress through practical exercises, methodological advice and regular follow-up.

Before/After the lesson:
To maximize effectiveness, sessions are prepared in advance with the student. This preparation includes creating materials for the lesson, outlining the key moments of the session, and monitoring the student's progress.

During the lesson:
The beginning is dedicated to reviewing previous concepts and verifying prior knowledge. Next, time is devoted to understanding new concepts, which will be tested through appropriate exercises. Finally, the correction of these exercises will allow for an assessment of the student's progress.

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.

I offer personalized math and physics lessons in English for middle to high school students, including those following IB, IGCSE, A-Level or similar international programs.

My objective is not only to help students solve problems, but to ensure they understand the reasoning behind each step, so they can become more confident and independent over time.

Each session is adapted to the student’s level and goals. We typically work through difficult concepts step by step, practice with exercises, and prepare for tests or exams using structured methods.

Lessons are conducted in English and are suitable for those looking to strengthen their academic performance.
