What I teach
- IB Mathematics
- Analysis & Approaches and Applications & Interpretation, at both Standard and Higher Level, including the Internal Assessment.
- IB Physics
- Standard and Higher Level, including the scientific investigation.
- Admissions tests
- SAT Mathematics, and the Bocconi admissions test, where 24 of the 50 questions are mathematics.
- University mathematics
- First-year undergraduate courses: calculus, linear algebra and analysis.
How I teach
- Understanding before method
- Students who grasp why a method works can handle an unfamiliar problem. Students who memorised the steps cannot, and unfamiliar problems are exactly what these exams are built from.
- A plan from day one
- Topic priorities, a realistic timeline and defined goals from the first session, so a student always knows where they stand and what comes next.
- The cycle between lessons
- Every lesson is followed by a custom worksheet, which I mark before the next session. Misconceptions get corrected while they are still small.
- Calm and honest
- Lessons are unhurried. We slow down where something is unclear, and I say so plainly when an approach is not working rather than continuing it.
Practical
- Languages
- English, Italian and Croatian, all to a fluent standard. A lesson can run entirely in any of the three.
- Format
- Online via Zoom or Google Meet with a shared whiteboard. 60 minutes as standard, 90 during revision periods.
- Where students are
- International schools across Europe. Because lessons are online, location is not a constraint.
- Getting started
- A free 20-minute introductory call, with no commitment either way.
