Michelle
MS Columbia University in the City of New York • BA Pomona College
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is a rigorous International Baccalaureate course that emphasizes deep conceptual understanding over procedural computation. Unlike traditional math courses, it focuses on mathematical reasoning, proof, and real-world applications—requiring students to not just solve problems, but understand the underlying principles and communicate their thinking clearly. This shift from "how to solve" to "why this works" is often the biggest adjustment for students transitioning into the IB program.

Students typically struggle with the transition from procedural to conceptual thinking—they're used to following steps, but IB demands they justify why those steps work. Multi-step problem-solving, rigorous proof writing, and connecting abstract concepts to real-world contexts are frequent pain points. Additionally, the course's emphasis on mathematical communication means students must clearly explain their reasoning, which requires both strong math skills and the ability to articulate complex ideas.

Your first session will focus on understanding your current level, identifying specific challenges, and establishing a personalized learning plan. A tutor will likely review recent coursework or exams to pinpoint where conceptual gaps exist—whether that's in calculus, algebra, or proof techniques. From there, you'll work together to develop strategies for tackling IB-style problems and building the confidence needed to approach unfamiliar questions with mathematical reasoning.

Proof writing is a skill that improves through guided practice and feedback. Tutors help you recognize proof patterns, understand logical structure, and communicate your reasoning clearly—moving beyond just getting the right answer to demonstrating why it's correct. By working through problems together and receiving immediate feedback on your explanations, you'll develop the mathematical language and logical thinking needed to tackle IB's rigorous proof requirements with confidence.

IB word problems require you to translate real-world scenarios into mathematical models, solve them, and interpret your results—combining reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and communication skills. Many students struggle because they focus on computation rather than understanding what the problem is actually asking. Personalized tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach: identifying key information, choosing appropriate mathematical tools, and connecting your solution back to the original context.

Look for tutors with demonstrated expertise in IB curriculum and strong conceptual understanding of advanced mathematics—not just procedural knowledge. Ideally, they have experience preparing students for IB exams and understand the specific demands of Analysis and Approaches, including proof techniques, calculus, and mathematical communication. The best tutors can break down complex concepts, ask guiding questions that build understanding, and help you develop problem-solving strategies rather than just providing answers.

Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences or feeling lost during transitions to more rigorous coursework. Working 1-on-1 with a tutor creates a judgment-free space where you can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn from them—building confidence through small wins. As you develop deeper understanding and see patterns connecting different concepts, you'll shift from "I can't do this" to "I understand how this works," which fundamentally changes how you approach challenging problems.
