An AP Physics & Calculus with a Physics-Math specialist who tailors every lesson that’s practical & collaborative

My academic foundation runs deep: I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Physics and Mathematics, giving me a strong command of the underlying logic and structure that connects these two subjects. On top of this, I pursued a specialized degree in tutoring, which means my teaching isn't just built on subject mastery. Over the past five-plus years, I've worked extensively within the IB Diploma Programme, where I've been deeply involved in Mathematics curriculum development — building comprehensive, structured unit plans across Analysis & Approaches (AA) and Applications & Interpretation (AI), at both Standard and Higher Level. This isn't just classroom teaching experience; it's the kind of behind-the-scenes curriculum design work that gives me a genuinely rare vantage point. I understand exactly how the IB syllabus is mapped hour by hour, how the assessment objectives (AO1–AO5) translate into exam questions, what examiners are actually looking for in Paper 1, Paper 2, and the Mathematical Exploration (Internal Assessment), and — critically — where students most commonly lose marks and why. If you're an IB Math student (AA or AI, SL or HL), this means I'm not guessing at what will help you; I know the terrain in detail, because I've built the roadmap myself. I don't teach off a generic template. Instead, I assess where a student currently stands, identify the specific misconceptions or skill gaps holding them back, and build a personalized study plan around that. Whether a student needs to build foundational algebraic fluency, strengthen their calculus and functions work, prepare methodically for a Paper 1 or Paper 2 exam, or get structured guidance on an IA topic, I tailor my approach to their actual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

My teaching strategies are totally based on the requirements of the students. As the learning requirements of each student are different. Generally, I explain each and every concept in the most simplified way I can, and I am also keen on listening to the students doubts and providing clarifications to them. I try to keep my students as engaged in the class discussions as I can. I also assist them with their assignments, homework, and test preparation.
