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!

Because one size doesn’t fit all

Every student is unique, and adapting the teaching style makes all the difference.
Every student learns differently — and that’s a strength, not a challenge. Whether it’s visual, verbal, or hands-on learning, we adjust the approach to match your style, so the material really sticks.

But Never Forget to Enjoy it!

Is your child struggling with IB Math? You’re not alone.
The IB program is demanding – and when math becomes a challenge, it can affect confidence, motivation, and even future goals.

That’s exactly why I started MathTutor-IB.com: to support students with clear, personalized tutoring that fills in gaps, reduces stress, and helps them succeed.

With years of experience and a deep understanding of the IB curriculum, I guide each student at their own pace – whether they’re stuck, overwhelmed, or just want to boost their grades.

Every student learns differently. That’s why I tailor each session to match their needs – turning confusion into clarity, and stress into progress.

Let Me Introduce Myself...

Hi, I’m Patricia Akao – your go-to IB Math tutor.
Math isn’t just what I teach – it’s what I love. Over the years, I’ve helped students not only raise their grades, but truly understand the “why” behind the numbers. Because when things start making sense, confidence follows.

My background might surprise you – I’ve studied everything from biological physics to business. With a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. across science and environmental fields, I bring a unique perspective that helps me see patterns others miss and explain concepts in fresh, simple ways.

I’m a big believer in curiosity, creativity, and making learning feel doable. Whether you’re aiming high or just want math to feel a little less scary – I’ve got your back.

Just One Small Question

Do you teach students worldwide?

Yes. For me, it doesn't matter where you are located. We just need to find a suitable time. I already taught students worldwide and location was never an issue.

Recent studies demonstrate a rising acceptance of online tutoring. Not only is it highly convenient and flexible—allowing classes to be taken wherever and whenever you please—it also saves time on commuting without compromising the effectiveness of tutoring.

Yes, you can have access after and also during the class. If you also have a tablet and install the Goodnotes app you can also use it to do your notes together (not required, just optional).

Rarely do people ask this, but certainly it crosses their mind. 

I am an experienced teacher, so knowledge won’t be an issue, the issue will be whether you like my approach or not. So, I invite you to discover by yourself. Feel free to contact me and schedule a free class, without any commitment.

Extra Information

  • The classes are held using Zoom and Goodnotes app, the last one works as a real-time whiteboard. All the notes can be accessed at any time after class
  • Usually, I prefer to work with the student during the whole semester, this allows me to know them better and personalize the classes
