I am a firm believer of this and, as such, I do not spoon feed students during sessions but rather guide them to figure out how to answer their own questions and solve their own problems. Thus, I focus not only on what to do, but how and why to do it. One of the most significant drivers of independent learning is curiosity, and this is one of the primary traits I aim to cultivate in students.
Having completed the full IB programme at the highest level — earning 39 out of 45 points — Brad knows the specific demands of Analysis and Approaches, from the paper structure to the depth expected in calculus and probability topics. He unpacks the exam's emphasis on multi-step justification, teaching students to write solutions that earn full marks on show-that and proof-style questions.
I am not someone who is satisfied when a student memorizes steps to solve a problem. I always want the student to understand what he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my explanations, through theoretical and visual interpretations. In my spare time I like to paint and run.
IB Analysis and Approaches leans heavily on proof-style thinking and formal calculus, which can feel like a steep jump from previous math courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is a rigorous two-year course designed for students pursuing the International Baccalaureate diploma. Unlike standard curricula, it emphasizes conceptual understanding alongside procedural skills—meaning you'll learn not just how to solve problems, but why those methods work. The course covers calculus, functions, trigonometry, and statistics with a focus on real-world applications and mathematical reasoning, preparing you for university-level mathematics and analytical thinking.
Many students struggle with the transition from procedural math to conceptual understanding—IB requires you to explain your reasoning, not just get the right answer. Other common pain points include mastering multi-step problem-solving, understanding when and why to apply different techniques, and tackling complex word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical language. Additionally, the course's fast pace and high expectations can trigger math anxiety, especially when students haven't built confidence in their foundational skills.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify exactly where your understanding breaks down—whether that's in algebraic manipulation, conceptual gaps, or test-taking strategy—and address it directly. A tutor can help you develop problem-solving strategies, teach you how to show your work in ways that earn full marks, and build the confidence you need to tackle unfamiliar problems on exams. They'll also help you see patterns and connections across topics, which is essential for the integrated, conceptual approach IB demands.
Your first session is an assessment and goal-setting meeting. A tutor will review your current coursework, discuss where you're struggling (whether it's specific topics like calculus or broader challenges like showing work), and learn about your learning style and goals—whether you're aiming to improve your grade, prepare for exams, or build conceptual understanding. From there, you'll create a personalized plan that targets your needs and fits your timeline, whether you're in Year 1 or preparing for final exams.
Proofs and multi-step problems require more than memorized procedures—they demand logical thinking and strategic planning. A tutor can teach you how to break down complex problems into manageable steps, identify which concepts apply, and construct clear, logical arguments that satisfy IB's rigorous standards. They'll also help you practice retrieving and combining concepts you've learned, which builds the flexible thinking you need to solve unfamiliar problems on exams.
You'll want a tutor with demonstrated expertise in IB Mathematics specifically—ideally someone with experience teaching or tutoring the curriculum, familiarity with IB assessment criteria, and a track record helping students achieve their target grades. Beyond credentials, look for a tutor who can explain concepts clearly, adapt their teaching to your learning style, and help you build both confidence and conceptual understanding, not just test-taking tricks. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and can be matched to your specific needs.
Staten Island's schools serve over 61,000 students across 9 districts, and while teachers are dedicated, classroom instruction often can't address every student's individual gaps or learning pace—especially in a demanding course like IB Mathematics. With a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio, getting personalized attention in class can be challenging. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving you dedicated time to work through difficult concepts, ask questions without hesitation, and develop the mastery and confidence IB requires.
Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences or gaps in foundational understanding—tutoring addresses both by creating a judgment-free space to ask questions and learn at your own pace. A tutor will help you tackle problems strategically, celebrate progress, and gradually build your confidence through successful problem-solving experiences. Over time, as you see patterns, understand concepts deeply, and experience success, anxiety decreases and your sense of capability grows—which directly improves your performance and enjoyment of the subject.
