Exam students are highly similar to professional athletes. They are fully prepared when it comes to exams, but their performance could be significantly hindered if they are not in the right mindset on the day of the exam. So, what is the key to succeeding in a stressful exam environment? Join my lessons to find out the answer!

Having studied in an international school, I completed my IGCSEs in 2014 with 12A* and 1A, and then the IB in 2016, coming out with 44/45 (7 in Higher Level Maths). Hence, I have been in your shoes not too long ago. If I have the pleasure of tutoring you, I will guide you through the exams and teach you both the exam content and, more importantly, how to prepare yourself mentally for the exams, ensuring your best possible performance on the day of the exam.

I started tutoring Mathematics in 2020. What I enjoy most about this job is seeing the "aha" moments from my students after explaining a difficult concept thoroughly and witnessing their steady progression, as they grow their passion for mathematics. Two of my students took the IGCSE Mathematics exam in 2021 and both scored 9s, one of whom took the Further Pure Mathematics course and also scored a 9! Currently, two of my students are taking the IGCSE exams this year, with one predicted an A, while the other is predicted a 9.

I also teach the IB Maths course (both Analysis and Approaches & Applications and Interpretations, Higher and Standard Level), and I will have a student taking the IB exam next year.

For students who are applying to the UK, I am more than happy to share my experiences with you on how I got into Imperial College and give feedback on your personal statement.

Looking forward to meeting you! Read less

Conceptual understanding is crucial to succeeding in any mathematics exam, especially in the IB curriculum. In this curriculum, the same concept could be asked in endless ways; therefore, only by understanding the fundamental concept can a student apply it to new scenarios.

By conversing with students, I gain insight into how they grasp new concepts. I can then tailor my teaching method accordingly. As a result, the way in which I teach a concept will differ from student to student, ensuring maximum effectiveness. Read less
