Who will to be my IB Math Tutor?

Hi, I’m Patricia Akao…

With over 7 years of experience as an IB Math Tutor, I already helped hundreds of students achieve their academic goals.

I specialize in helping IB students turn stress into clarity.
Over the years, I’ve worked with students in AA and AI, HL and SL, from diverse schools around the globe and I’ve learned one big truth:

Math isn’t about being “smart enough”. It is about looking at it through the right perspective, and having a specialised IB math tutor to support you along the way makes a world of difference.

I’ve taught students aiming for a 7, as well as those who simply want to pass, and I approach every student with the same patience, empathy, and a lot of creativity.

My academic background is in science, math, and environmental studies — allowing me to break down complex concepts from all angles.

I am a self-driven learner and deeply passionate about science. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping students untangled trick math topics. 

My goal? To make sure students fell confident and maybe even fall in love with math along the way.

If you (or your child) are looking for a dedicated IB math tutor who can break things down and guide you through this challenging 2 years DP program, you have come to the right place!!!

"Every student can succeed in math — they just need the right support, the right tools, and someone who believes in their potential."

I hope you have some doubts...

Do you help with both AA and AI? HL and SL?

Absolutely.
I work with students in AA HL, AA SL, AI HL and AI SL — and I know how different each one is.  Whether you’re aiming for a 4 or a 7, the lessons are tailored to your specific level and needs. Click here to hear more about IB Math AA tutoring. Click here to hear more about IB Math AI tutoring.

Yes — when it’s done right. I use tools like Zoom, Goodnotes, and shared screens to make lessons interactive and clear. Most of my students actually prefer it — no travel, full focus, and everything is recorded for review.

That’s exactly why I’m here. My experience as an IB math tutor allows me to identify gasps quickly and guide students who feel stuck, anxious, or “not good at math.” We build skills and confidence — step by step.

Of course. I offer a free trial so we can get to know each other and see if it's the right fit. No pressure, no obligation.

There’s no single “perfect” time to start IB Math tutoring. It really depends on the student’s goals, confidence, and study habits.

Many students begin early in the IB program to build a strong foundation and avoid stress later on.

Others start in the second year, when the workload increases and exam preparation becomes more demanding.

Starting around six months before exams is also very effective, as it allows enough time to review content, strengthen weak areas, and practise past papers.

Beginning too close to the exams often makes it harder to achieve meaningful results because there’s limited time for proper learning and improvement.

So... Why should I choose You?

Because you’re not just looking for a tutor – you’re looking for someone who truly gets what it takes to succeed in IB Math.

With years of experience as an IB Math Tutor, I don’t just teach formulas – I teach how to think, how to plan, and most importantly – how to believe in your abilities.

Every student gets a personalized learning plan, built to match their pace, style, and goals.

Whether you’re aiming for a 7 or just trying to keep up – I’m here to make sure you get there feeling confident and supported.

Thanks you so much for your unwavering guidance and support throughout these last few months of my IB Diploma journey. Despite being on the other side of the world, your dedication to teaching and belief in my abilities truly made a world of difference. I couldn't have done it without you!

Paty is a supportive and enthusiastic IB math tutor who I can wholeheartedly recommend. Her genuine desire to help her students improve is reflected in the amount of effort she puts into tailoring her lessons to fit specific needs, or even pursuing curiosities that arise during classes during her own time. Each lesson felt unique and personal, and the skills I took away from working with her extended beyond just Mathematics. Besides, with her open personality, I’m confident in calling her not only a good tutor but also a good friend.

I am grateful to have had such a great tutor like Patricia. Being part of her Maths AA lessons was simply amazing. In such a short amount of time, so much has become clearer and easier to understand. Patricia provided me with loads of help and, most importantly, the chance to strengthen my maths skills with complex questions. She was patient, supportive, and incredibly encouraging throughout the whole process. The progress I was able to make, despite the limited time, honestly feels like a huge improvement and I’m truly thankful to Patricia for helping me get there. It’s been a great experience overall, and I’ll always look back on her support and guidance with gratitude.

I wanted to write a little gratitude message and wanted to thank you so much for teaching me math. It was always fun learning with you. You were very calm and patient with me, and you never got tired of explaining things again and again (even two or three times!) until I understood. You always believed in me and helped me get better. I remember at the start, I didn’t know anything and felt lost. But after learning from you, I slowly got better and improved a lot. I am very thankful for that. I also noticed how you would sometimes teach me for longer, even after our class time was over, just to help me understand. I will always remember your kindness and support. You are a great person overall and I am honoured to have had you as my IB math tutor. Thank you so much for everything. I’m really happy I got to be your student..
