Need an IB Maths tutor in Islington or online?
IB Maths rewards students who can apply ideas flexibly across unfamiliar contexts — the syllabus, especially at HL, expects genuine problem-solving rather than pattern recognition. Muhammad, a Cambridge PhD physicist, works from your child’s actual subject — Analysis & Approaches or Applications & Interpretation — and level, so every lesson maps directly onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which are guesswork, and whether SL or HL is the right level. From there, sessions run one to one or two to one, in person or online, across the full two-year Diploma course.
What’s covered
- Number and algebra
- Functions
- Geometry and trigonometry
- Statistics and probability
- Calculus
- Exploration (internal assessment) guidance
- SL vs HL and level targets
- Exam technique and paper strategy
Content is matched to your child’s actual course — AA for students continuing pure maths at university, AI for those taking a more applied route — so lessons focus on what they’ll actually sit, not a generic syllabus. Level is reviewed regularly rather than fixed at the outset.
Students typically start anywhere from confident-but-inconsistent to unsure where to begin, and work towards the exam-technique fluency that turns understanding into marks across both papers. By the end, most students approach unfamiliar problems with far more confidence than when they began.
