Hi, I’m Patricia Akao – your go-to IB Math tutor.
With 10 years of experience guiding students to success,
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 all kinds of schools, and I’ve learned one big truth:
Math isn’t about being “smart enough.”
It’s about having the right person explain it in a way that clicks.
I’ve taught students who were aiming for a 7, and others who just wanted to pass.
And I treat them all the same: with patience, empathy, and a lot of creativity.
My academic background is in science, math, and environmental studies —
but the part I’m most proud of?
💬 Students tell they feel seen and understood
If you (or your child) need someone who explains things clearly, with zero judgment —
I’m here. And I’m on your side.
That’s exactly why I’m here.
I specialize in helping students who feel stuck, anxious, or “not good at math.”
We build skills and confidence — step by step.
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.
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.
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.
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 over 10 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.
Join the students who no longer fear math – they understand it
