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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Dauirzhan! And I know the struggles or learning a new language. So, let me help you overcome them.

These one-on-one English lessons will be tailored directly to your specific goals, level, and learning style.
They are taught by me: a Cambridge CELTA-certified teacher with degrees in Law and International Relations, and we will focus on building real practical communication skills rather than repeating passive textbook drills.

Whether you need to gain confidence in conversational English, master professional terminology for corporate work, or score higher on the IELTS exam, every session is designed around active practice and clear progress.

Learning Tracks Offered:
1) General & Conversational English: Improve fluency, polish pronunciation, and build confidence for everyday conversations, travel, or living abroad.
2) Business & Legal English (ESP): Tailored training focusing on contract terminology, high-stakes negotiations, executive email writing, and professional presentations, drawing directly on legal and international relations experience.
3) IELTS & Exam Strategy: Focused exam preparation covering speaking, writing, reading, and listening strategies (85% of previous students achieved their target scores).
4) Academic English: Writing structure, analytical reading, and presentation skills for university applications and coursework.

I learnt English myself once, so I know it can be complicated and may seem impossible. However, I will help you with learning English in the smoothest atmosphere possible and of course without forgetting about efficiency.
