IGCSE Math & Physics tutor — Cambridge 0580,
From 84 £ /h
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.

About Me
I'm a private IB Math and Physics tutor who publishes the results I can prove, each with its source. I have taught IB one-to-one since April 2016 — ten years, every lesson myself — and Cambridge IGCSE as the bridge into it.
My training is in engineering: a B.Sc. in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Lima) and an M.Sc. in Energy Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy's #1 university (QS World University Rankings 2027). Engineering taught me the habit I bring to every lesson: find the exact step where the reasoning breaks, fix it at the source, and check the fix on a new problem.
What I can show: a final 7 in IB Physics SL (May 2025, from a 3, in the first exams of the new syllabus), a final 6 in IB Math AI HL (May 2025, from a 4), and Grade 7 in both IB Math AI SL exam papers (May 2024, from a 3).
Lessons are online on Central European Time, in English or Spanish. Message me with where your child is stuck, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.

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.
