How we help
One tutor, matched to your current topics and grade, covering every assessment component against the same criteria examiners use. Tap any item for more detail.
SL sits Paper 1 in 90 minutes; HL in 120 — short and extended-response questions with no calculator allowed. We build the algebraic manipulation and exact-value habits that go missing once students are used to reaching for a GDC.
Same 90-minute SL / 120-minute HL structure as Paper 1, but a graphic display calculator is required. We focus on using it efficiently — solving, graphing, and checking work quickly — rather than falling back on slow manual methods under time pressure.
HL students sit a third, 60-minute paper built around problem-solving across topics rather than one syllabus area at a time. We practice the investigative style specifically — spotting the pattern, generalising it, and justifying the result — since it's a different skill from Papers 1 and 2.
HL onlyThe Exploration is an independent piece of mathematical writing on a topic the student chooses. The most common issue is a topic that's too broad or too thin on personal engagement. We help narrow the topic early, then keep the mathematical rigour and structure on track through to the final draft.
Before you book
Sessions run one-on-one over video, built around your child's actual school assessments rather than a generic syllabus.
We match on subject mastery and teaching style, informed by the free 15-minute call, not just who happens to be free.
Simply reach out to our admin team, and we'll work with you to arrange a replacement tutor better suited to your needs.
We recommend starting a few weeks before the beginning of term to allow adequate time for preparation, though starting earlier is always beneficial.
There is no minimum session requirement. We do, however, offer package options for families who prefer to commit in advance.
Yes. Papers 1 and 2 are covered at both levels, Paper 3 for HL students specifically, and the Mathematical Exploration for everyone — all timed to your school's assessment calendar.
Maths AA (Analysis and Approaches) emphasises algebraic technique, calculus, and formal proof — a strong fit if you're heading toward maths-heavy fields like engineering or the physical sciences. Maths AI (Applications and Interpretation) focuses more on real-world modelling, statistics, and technology use. If you're not sure which course you're enrolled in, check with your IB coordinator.
Yes. We help refine the topic, check the mathematical rigour, and strengthen the personal engagement and structure the Exploration is marked against.
Yes. Paper 3's extended, investigative style is different from Papers 1 and 2, so we treat it as its own skill rather than an extension of regular exam practice.
