I am listening to and learning about him or her as an individual. I can also discover what motivates the student during this conversation and plan for how to frame future tutoring sessions in terms of what the student already knows and enjoys.
Nicole
12th Grade math Tutor • +166 Subjects
I am very thorough in the material and diligently work, while being patient, to make sure each student is understanding the lessons because I know everyone has a unique way he/she processes and learns.
Emily
AP Statistics Tutor • +104 Subjects
I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I am a student at Arizona State University and Barrett the Honors College. I am pursuing a degree in chemical engineering and two minors in Spanish and mathematics. I plan on attending medical school upon graduation. I have been a tutor for nearly four years in multiple areas. Primarily, I have tutored mathematics for middle school and high school students. I also have experience in test preparation for the SAT, ACT, IB, AP and Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS). Additionally, I have tutored in multiple sciences, such as physics and biology. I very devoted to education and to intend to see to it that every student has the quality of education that I have been privileged to receive. Outside of school, I spend my free time shopping, trying new restaurants, doing yoga, and spending time with friends.

I am passionate about the life sciences and enjoy working with students to help them achieve their goals! I am from Rockland County, New York, and currently work as a Private Tutor and Research Assistant in Ithaca. This January, I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. I have tutored private clients since 2011 and have experience tutoring students in Biology, Chemistry and Math. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, competitive swimming, and tennis. Please feel free to reach out; I look forward to discussing how I can best help your student!
Brittany
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am a chemistry and environmental science student at the University of Virginia. In high school I completed the IB diploma program and took chemistry, math, english and history at the higher level. I tutor in Middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, IB Math (HL,SL and Studies), Calculus 1, Calculus 2, IB Chemistry (SL and HL), IB Environmental Systems and Societies, Ecology, and SAT math test prep. I have experience tutoring students in IB courses and non-IB courses. When I tutor I try to lead you to right answer by asking you questions to determine what you already know, clearing up misconceptions, and getting you to think critically about the material. This tutoring strategy is particularly effective for IB exams or application questions that test critical thinking in addition to your mastery of the subject matter. Hobbies: reading, writing, books, music, art, sports

Frequently Asked Questions
IB Mathematics HL tutors are familiar with the specific syllabus requirements and assessment formats, including the core topics (algebra, functions, trigonometry, calculus, statistics) and the options (like further statistics, sets/logic, or matrices). They structure sessions around the curriculum framework while adapting their approach based on your textbook and school's pacing. This ensures you're not just learning concepts, but also understanding how they connect across the course and how they'll appear on IB exams.
Many students can follow procedures and get answers, but IB Mathematics HL exams require deeper conceptual understanding—you need to know why methods work, not just how to apply them. A skilled tutor helps you move beyond memorizing steps by exploring the underlying logic, asking you to explain your reasoning, and showing how different topics connect. This approach builds the problem-solving flexibility IB exams demand, especially on non-routine questions where you can't simply repeat a familiar procedure.
IB Mathematics HL students commonly struggle with translating word problems into mathematical models, managing multi-step proofs where organization and logical flow matter, and connecting abstract concepts (like limits and rigor in calculus) to practical applications. Many also feel anxious about the time pressure on exams or lose confidence when they encounter unfamiliar problem types. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific pain points by building problem-solving strategies, practicing proof-writing techniques, and developing the conceptual foundations that make new problem types less intimidating.
The best IB Mathematics HL tutors have deep knowledge of the IB curriculum and exam format, but equally important is their ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to how you learn. Look for someone who asks you to show and explain your work, helps you see patterns and connections between topics, and focuses on building conceptual understanding rather than just drilling procedures. They should also be comfortable discussing exam strategy—like how to approach unfamiliar problems, manage your time, and structure written responses for full credit.
Proof writing requires both mathematical understanding and communication skills—you need to know what you're trying to prove and present a logical, convincing argument. A tutor can help you identify which proof techniques apply to different situations (like contradiction, induction, or direct proof), practice structuring your arguments clearly, and learn how to justify each step in a way that earns full marks on IB exams. Regular practice with feedback helps you develop the confidence and precision that transforms proof-writing from intimidating to manageable.
IB Mathematics HL requires selecting optional topics, and the right choice depends on your strengths, interests, and future goals. A tutor can help you understand what each option covers (like further statistics, matrices and algebra, or complex numbers), explore which aligns best with your learning style, and then provide focused instruction to ensure you master that content at the depth the IB requires. This personalized approach helps you build confidence in your optional topics and leverage them as a strength on your final exams.
Starting tutoring early—ideally in the first term of your IB course—helps you build strong foundations and catch gaps before they compound. However, tutoring is valuable at any stage: early on it prevents foundational misunderstandings, mid-course it addresses specific weak areas and fills gaps, and as exams approach it focuses on exam technique, time management, and tackling unfamiliar problem types. Many students find that consistent, ongoing tutoring throughout their IB year leads to better understanding and less last-minute cramming than intensive prep right before exams.
