IGCSE & IB Expert Tutoring in Math, Physics, and Chemistry

From 143 C$ /h

Having worked with over 100 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).

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.

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 easy understanding and perfect preparation 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.

Digital SAT Math Course: Strategies to Achieve 800

143 C$ /h

Drawing on my experience teaching various standardized tests alongside school curricula, I have found that the biggest challenge students face in achieving a perfect score on the SAT Math section is shifting away from the traditional classroom habit of "showing every step of the solution" toward a highly efficient strategy that yields the correct answer while optimizing time. Instead of performing lengthy calculations, I help you focus on problem-solving tactics, shortcuts, and rapid solution methods. To ensure you achieve a perfect score, I will equip you with the strategies and skills needed to reach the final answer quickly and accurately.

We cover the four key domains tested by the College Board, prioritizing the most critical and impactful topics that account for 70% of your score:
Algebra (approx. 35%): Linear equations, inequalities, functions, and systems of equations.
Advanced Math (approx. 35%): Quadratic equations, exponential functions, and non-linear models.
Problem Solving and Data Analysis (approx. 15%): Ratios, percentages, probability, and complex statistical data.
Geometry and Trigonometry (approx. 15%): Area and volume calculations, circle theorems, and right-triangle trigonometry.

During our lessons, you will learn:
All the shortcuts and tactics needed to solve questions correctly in under one minute!
When and how to efficiently use the built-in graphing calculator to save time and verify your answers.
When to use "plugging in numbers" or "back-solving" methods instead of performing the full algebraic solution steps.
Handling the "Grid-in" section (questions requiring a written answer), where there are no multiple-choice options to rely on.
How to avoid formatting errors and steer clear of incorrect answers designed to mislead the student.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I have worked for 6 years now with kids from international schools who were "hating" maths because the methods used by their IB teachers were too complicated and hard to understand.

I believe that no one is "not mathematical", we just have to find the 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 3 types of lessons that represent 3 phases:
1. THEORY - Understanding the theory behind the exercises, this phase is the shortest since I believe that to fully understand maths you need to exercise.
2. EXERCISES - Doing exercises divided by subject we. just went through in the theory part.
3. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam.

Dividing the process in 3 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

In my second year at AgroParisTech (France's leading agricultural engineering school) and coming out of two years of BCPST prep school, I learned the importance of having good working methods and finding one's own techniques for retaining information. It is these strategies that I want to share with students.

I am a very good listener and I adapt easily, so I can follow the student's desires as well as the parents' expectations. For me, learning is possible when the student feels comfortable, so I will try to offer interactive, inclusive and light classes for the person in front.

I offer courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology for all levels up to second year post highschool. Moreover, I am bilingual in French and Spanish, and I particularly like English and Italian, so I would love to help students with their language skills in all grades.

See you soon!

What we will focus on:
- How to approach difficult IB-style questions
- Strategies for moving from a 5 to a 6 or from a 6 to a 7
- How to understand command terms and what questions are really asking
- How to structure answers to maximize marks
- Data analysis, graphs, calculations, and experimental questions
- Common mistakes that cost students marks
- Time management and exam strategy
- Challenging 6–7 level Biology HL and Chemistry HL questions

We will work through challenging IB-style Biology and Chemistry questions step by step, focusing not only on what the correct answer is, but why the markscheme awards marks for it and how to recognize similar questions in an exam.
Whether you are currently working toward a 6, trying to push from a 6 to a 7, or simply want to become significantly stronger in IB Biology HL or Chemistry HL, this class will give you a clear and practical strategy for maximizing your exam performance.
