IGSE, IB Mathematics, for High and Middle school students, SAT Math

From 41 £ /h

Currently I work as a math teacher in an international school. I’ve been teaching and tutoring math for more than 7 years, starting back when I was studying Civil Engineering for my bachelor’s degree. Over time, I realized that teaching math is what I truly enjoy, and it has become my main focus.

My approach is straightforward: I make sure students really understand the basics first, because that’s the key to handling more difficult topics later on. I’ve seen how much confidence this gives students, and it’s something I always try to build in my lessons.

I’ve worked with students from international schools as well as those preparing for exams, and I’ve helped many of them improve their grades and raise their SAT Math scores. I try to adapt my lessons to each student’s needs and make math feel logical and approachable, not overwhelming.

At the end of the day, I love being a math teacher and helping students see that math can actually be simple once it “clicks.”

Extra information

Good internet connection and an ipad/a laptop will be enough for the lesson :) Also you will need a notebook solve questions or you can take notes on your tablet

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.

In my final year, I felt lost. There were so many training courses that interested me. Making the right choice can sometimes be difficult. I will share all my tips and tricks with you and support you throughout the process. I am very often available, and you can contact me even outside of class hours if necessary.
I can tell you about scholarships, tests to take, the selection process, etc.
There are lots of opportunities (in the United States, UK, Canada, etc.) that many high school students ignore. I will help you find the program and university that suits you with a scholarship that can go as far as covering all your tuition and accommodation costs.

My Mathematics and Physics tutoring course draws on my experience of learning in two educational systems, Italian and French. These two distinct approaches have allowed me to develop a balanced methodology. I combine the theoretical rigor of Italian teaching with the emphasis on conceptual understanding of the French system. This allows my students to acquire a solid theoretical foundation while understanding how to apply the concepts to real-world situations. I adapt to the specific needs of each student, in order to help them strengthen their skills and achieve greater success in these subjects.

My knowledge of mathematics and science is based on my hope of learning in a diverse educational system, both Italian and French. This is due to a different approach that allows for a balanced methodology. Combines the rigor of the Italian design with understanding of the conceptual understanding of the French system. This allows my students to acquire a solid theoretical base and capire to apply it to a concrete situation. I adapted to the specific requirements of my student, to help me improve my ability and achieve great success in this matter.

Math can sometimes be tough. You might think you’re not good at it, but you are not the problem. With the right teacher, you can understand it too. You just need to choose properly. With me, you won’t just do exercises — you’ll truly understand them. You’ll develop a logical mind, and after our lessons, you’ll be able to move forward on your own.

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.

For a perfect score on SAT, students need to transition from the traditional classroom habit of 'showing all work' to a high-efficiency test-taking strategy that enables them to find the correct answer with the best use of time. Instead of doing lengthy calculations, we focus on problem-solving tactics and quick-look methods. My goal is to equip you with the specific shortcuts and skills needed to reach the final solution quickly and correctly.

We cover all four critical content areas tested by the College Board, prioritizing the high-yield topics that make up 70% of your score:
Algebra (~35%): linear equations, inequalities, functions, and systems.
Advanced Math (~35%): quadratics, exponential functions, and nonlinear models.
Problem-Solving & Data Analysis (~15%): ratios, percentages, probability, and complex statistical data.
Geometry & Trigonometry (~15%): solving area/volume, circle theorems, and right-triangle trigonometry.

During our lessons you will learn:
how to use the built-in graphing calculator to solve equations, word problems.
when to "plug in numbers" or "backsolve" rather than doing full algebraic work.
the "Grid-in" section where there are no multiple-choice options to lean on.
how to avoid formatting errors and double-check your logic to ensure 100% accuracy on these high-pressure questions.

Any subject math/physics related if it's taught before college. If I don't quite remember it, I will naturally study it before classes.
For college courses although I naturally know them, I wouldn't feel so comfortable teaching them.
If you have any doubts don't think twice before texting:)

I scored a 1550 on the SAT and have been helping students prepare for the SAT for over 3 years, with a consistent focus on helping students reach and exceed the 1500+ range.
This class is designed to go beyond simply reviewing SAT content. We will focus on strategy, efficiency, accuracy, and the specific habits that separate a good SAT score from an exceptional one.

What we will focus on
- How to approach difficult SAT questions efficiently
- Strategies for consistently scoring 1500+
- How to recognize common SAT question patterns and traps
- Techniques for eliminating answer choices quickly
- How to manage time effectively across the entire test
- When to use your calculator and how to use it efficiently
- How to approach unfamiliar questions without getting stuck
- Strategies for maximizing both Math and Reading & Writing
- Common mistakes that prevent students from breaking 1500
- How to analyze practice tests and identify exactly where points are being lost
- How to turn weaknesses into measurable score improvements

Advanced strategies for students already scoring in the 1400–1500+ range
We will work through challenging, realistic SAT-style questions and focus on why certain approaches work, rather than simply memorizing rules or solutions.
Whether you are trying to break 1400, reach 1500, or push toward 1550+, the goal of this class is to give you a clear strategy for approaching the SAT and maximizing every available point.

You don't need to know everything to score 1500+. You need to know how to recognize the question, choose the right strategy, and execute it efficiently.
