Best IB Maths AA tutors in the UAE & online

I’m Jonathan, an experienced IB educator and examiner with over two decades of international teaching and leadership experience. I specialize in helping students excel in IB Physics, Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge through a thoughtful, individualized approach. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve served as IB Diploma Programme Coordinator, Physics/Mathematics Teacher, and TOK Teacher/Examiner at leading international schools in China, Sri Lanka, USA, Dominican Republic, and Senegal. I’m also the founder of SmartSmith Educational Consultants, where I guide students toward academic confidence and top IB results. I hold a Master of Science from Oregon State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from the University of Colorado. My tutoring focuses on clarity, curiosity, and confidence. I break down challenging concepts into simple, practical steps while connecting them to real-world applications. I emphasize critical thinking and conceptual mastery—skills that empower students beyond the classroom. Outside of tutoring, I’m an avid mountain climber, musician, and artist. I love exploring how science, creativity, and human curiosity intersect—both in my own life and in my students’ learning.

I am an experienced IB Mathematics HL teacher, as well as a former IB examiner and moderator. Over the years, I have helped many students achieve top grades — 6s and 7s — in their IB exams. I have also taught Theory of Knowledge (TOK) for two years.

I have achieved the highest average in MYP Mathematics across all Beaconhouse schools, reflecting consistently strong student outcomes. I am also an IA Moderator and Examiner, giving me first-hand insight into IB assessment standards, mark schemes, and examiner expectations.

I have been teaching for a long time; the past 15 years in international IBDP boarding schools in Norway, Wales, Italy and Hungary. I have been involved in writing textbooks, I have experience in teaching IB mathematics at all levels for both AI and AA.

I’m Amy, an experienced international mathematics educator with over 26 years of teaching experience, including 21 years in IB Mathematics. I’ve taught Applications & Interpretations (HL & SL), Analysis & Approaches (SL), and grade 8-10 Mathematics, supervised Extended Essays in Mathematics, and have served as an IB Assistant Examiner for over a decade, grading Internal Assessments as well as exams. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s in Education, and have taught in five international schools around the world. Along with my professional experience, I’ve also had my own child go through the IB Diploma Program, giving me firsthand insight into both the rewards and the stresses students face. This perspective helps me guide students with empathy and a balanced understanding of the program’s demands. My tutoring approach focuses on engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving. I tailor each session to a student’s strengths, challenges, and current coursework, helping them build confidence, deepen understanding, and develop effective strategies. Students can expect personalized support, practical guidance, and clear communication. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, gardening, and spending time with my family.

I currently serve as an IBDP Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches HL Examiner for both Explorations (IAs) and Paper 1, as well as an A Level Examiner for Pure Mathematics 3 and Mechanics. I hold Master’s degrees in Mathematics and Education, and my teaching experience has shown me that every student can thrive when they are guided with patience, structure, and encouragement.
