About Me

Hi, I’m Tony. I’m an experienced academic tutor specializing in IB Mathematics, SAT preparation, and advanced high-school mathematics.
I graduated with a 45/45 in the IB Diploma, including a 7/7 in IB Mathematics AA HL, Chemistry HL, Biology HL. I scored a 1550 on the SAT. I have also been helping students improve their academic performance for over 3 years, working with students at different levels and adapting my teaching to their individual strengths and weaknesses.
My approach to tutoring is centered around understanding rather than memorization. I want students to understand why a method works, how to recognize when to use it, and how to apply it when they encounter an unfamiliar problem.
For exam preparation, I place a strong emphasis on strategy and execution. Knowing the material is only part of getting a top score. Students also need to know how to manage their time, recognize question patterns, avoid common traps, and maximize the marks available to them.

Education

International School of London (ISL) — International Baccalaureate Diploma
Completed the IB Diploma with a 45/45, including 7/7 in Mathematics AA HL, Chemistry HL and Biology HL.

Bachelors in Economics and Social Sciences from Bocconi University. I was a highschool topper with 7A*'s in IGCSE and 5 A's in AS level - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English, Economics and ICT

I start my sessions ascertaining what the student knows and needs help with through light questions and discussion. The importance of this is that many students don't know the basics but focus on the more seemingly complex areas. Once we have a good foundation I move on to working on harder questions in past papers.I explain gaps in knowledge, concepts that are difficult to understand and ways to make info retention easier. I like to focus on tips and tricks that can be used in exams and that help prevent marks being lost because of info recall issues or mixing up small details. I end lessons by testing what's been covered and what needs to be covered the following week!

I have worked for 6 years now with kids from international schools helping them in subjects such as maths and biology.

We always find the best suiting 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 2 types of lessons that represent 2 phases:
1. THEORY - Understanding the theory repeating together each unit.
2. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam.

Dividing the process in 2 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

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.
