About
I am an experienced IB-aligned Mathematics and Geography educator with 4+ years of international teaching and tutoring experience, currently serving in academic leadership roles (Deputy Headteacher / Director of Studies). I specialize in IB DP Mathematics (Applications & Interpretation) and inquiry-based teaching approaches that build conceptual understanding, exam confidence, and independent thinking.
My professional strengths lie in IB-style pedagogy, data-informed instruction, assessment literacy, and digital learning integration. I have supported students across IGCSE, IAL, and IB-aligned pathways, helping them improve outcomes through structured revision plans, past-paper analysis, and clear success criteria. I am currently completing the IBO IBDP Mathematics AI Category 1 Workshop, further strengthening my alignment with IB standards.
I am particularly motivated by online IB tutoring, as it allows me to work closely with students globally, provide individualized academic support, and maintain the rigor and integrity of IB teaching in a flexible, student-centred environment.
