IGCSE & IB Excellence: Expert Tutoring in Math, Physics, and Chemistry
From 144.52 C$ /h
Having worked with over 200 students across various international curricula, I provide a high-level, integrated approach to the core STEM subjects: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are tailored to the specific mark schemes and requirements of IGCSE, GCSE, and the IB Diploma (SL/HL).
Subject Specializations
Mathematics: From IGCSE Extended/Additional Math to IB Math AA/AI (HL & SL). We focus on logic, function analysis, and the critical "investigative" style of exam questions.
Physics: Mastering the laws of physics, from Mechanics and Waves to Electromagnetism and Atomic Physics, with a heavy focus on the mathematical application of formulas.
Chemistry: Bridging the gap between theory and the lab. We cover everything from Atomic Structure and Stoichiometry to Organic Chemistry and Energetics.
The "Exam-First" Mindset
I move students away from the "school mindset" of just learning topics to the "examiner mindset" of scoring points.
Mark Scheme Mastery: I teach you how to decode what the examiner is looking for in multi-step "show your work" questions.
Efficiency Strategies: For IGCSE/GCSE multiple-choice and IB Paper 1, we focus on quick-solving techniques and eliminating distractors.
Bridging the Subjects: Because I teach all three, I help students see the connections, like the math in Physics or the physics in Chemistry, making the entire STEM workload feel more cohesive and less overwhelming.
I provide the clarity needed to handle the high volume of material in these curricula, ensuring students are not just "studying," but are strategically prepared for top-tier grades (9s in IGCSE or 7s in IB).

About Me
I am an experienced academic tutor with a strong background in IB, IGCSE, AP, and university-level teaching, supported by advanced training in nanobiotechnology and pharmaceutical sciences. I specialize in helping students understand complex concepts clearly, improve problem-solving skills, and achieve consistent academic progress.
My teaching method is flexible and completely responsive to your needs. Each session is built directly on your familiarity with the topic at hand.
When a concept feels new or complex, I start by filling in the gaps, revisiting all the necessary basics and background to make sure you have the foundation needed to understand the current lesson clearly. We practice each step individually until the material feels accessible. For topics you already feel comfortable with, I provide advanced challenges to help you navigate the tricky questions that might show up on exams. This ensures we never waste time and always focus on what helps you improve the most.

Education
Currently I'm pursuing a Master degree in Nano Medicine in Pavia University. A Bachelor degree in pharmacy.
Experience / Qualifications
I started teaching high school and university level students over 10 years ago. I helped many students each year to significantly improve their grades from as low as 10% to near-perfect scores.
I achieved perfect scores in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry on my Baccalaureate examinations.

Having coached over 100 students from 10+ universities worldwide, I have developed a deep understanding of the specific homework structures and exam styles used in modern higher education. I provide comprehensive support for Calculus 1, 2, and 3, ensuring you don't just pass, but master the material.
Calculus 1: Building the Foundation
We begin by bridging the gap between high school and university. I ensure you are equipped with the essential tools needed to navigate the course, including:
Functions: Mastering domain, range, and transformations.
The Limit Concept: Building a logical intuition for continuity.
Derivatives & Integrals: Transitioning from basic rules to complex applications.
Calculus 2: Bridging the Gaps
Calculus 2 is often the "filter" course. I focus on filling any lingering gaps from Calculus 1 to make advanced integration techniques and series accessible. My goal is to turn complex topics into manageable steps, aiming for top-tier exam performance.
Calculus 3: Multivariable Mastery
I help students visualize and solve problems in three dimensions, covering everything from vectors and partial derivatives to multiple integrals and vector calculus (Green’s, Stokes’, and Divergence theorems).

Having worked with over 100 students across 10+ universities, I have developed a deep understanding of the specific homework structures and exam styles in university Chemistry. I help students master the entire General Chemistry curriculum, ensuring a seamless transition from foundational concepts to advanced chemical logic.
Foundational Concepts
We begin by reinforcing the essential quantitative tools—stoichiometry and dimensional analysis—before diving into:
Atomic Structure & Periodicity: Understanding the "why" behind the periodic table.
Chemical Bonding: Visualizing Lewis structures, VSEPR theory, and hybrid orbitals.
Gas Laws & Thermochemistry: Mastering enthalpy, calorimetry, and ideal vs. real gases.
Advanced Chemical Principles
As the course progresses into more abstract territory, I provide the clarity needed to conquer:
Chemical Kinetics: Solving for rate laws and reaction mechanisms.
Chemical Equilibrium: Navigating the logic of reaction constants and Le Chatelier’s Principle.
Acid-Base Chemistry: Mastering pH calculations, buffers, and complex titrations.
Thermodynamics & Electrochemistry: Understanding Entropy, Gibbs Free Energy, and Redox reactions.
The Math-Science Advantage
Chemistry is often a math course in disguise. I specialize in helping students master the mathematical side of chemistry, from logs in pH to calculus-based kinetics, so the numbers never stand in the way of your understanding.
