Hi, I’m Patricia Akao…
With over 7 years of experience helping 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 someone 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-learner type of person, very passionate about science, and for me there is nothing more rewarding than helping students untangled trick 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 someone who can break things down and guide you through this challenging 2 years DP program, you have come to the right place!!! And you are just one click away…
Because you’re not just looking for a math tutor – you’re looking for someone who truly gets what it takes to succeed in IB Math.
With years of experience, 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.
Paty is a supportive and enthusiastic 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.

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!

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.

Learning was always fun with you. You were always calm and patient, and never
got tired of explaining me as many time as I needed. You always believe on me and helped to get better. At the beginning I used to feel so lost, but slowly I got better and improved a lot. I am very thankful to you. I will always remember your kindness and support. Thank you so much, I am really happy I got to be your student.
