What a tutor can support

Lessons can concentrate on one immediate difficulty or connect several areas into a longer revision plan.

Algebra and functions

Strengthen the symbolic fluency that underpins almost every AA topic.

  • Equations, inequalities, and algebraic manipulation
  • Sequences, series, exponentials, and logarithms
  • Transformations, inverses, and composite functions

Calculus

Connect techniques to graphs, rates of change, optimization, and unfamiliar applications.

  • Differentiation and integration
  • Applications and interpretation
  • HL extensions where relevant

Geometry and trigonometry

Move from memorized identities to flexible problem solving and clear diagrams.

  • Trigonometric identities and equations
  • Geometry, vectors, and spatial reasoning
  • Complex numbers where required

Exam reasoning

Practice choosing an approach, justifying steps, and recovering when a route does not work.

  • Past-paper and mixed-topic questions
  • Calculator and non-calculator strategy
  • Precise written communication
Right level, right depth

Support adapts to where the student is

The tutor works from the student's actual pathway, current understanding, and next assessment rather than a generic lesson sequence.

AA SL

Secure the core syllabus, improve algebraic accuracy, and build confidence applying standard methods in exam contexts.

AA HL

Work at greater depth with extension content, proof, and unfamiliar multi-stage problems that demand flexible reasoning.

Inside a lesson

A practical route from uncertainty to independent work

1

Locate the difficulty

Start from the student's current unit, marked work, or a representative past-paper question.

2

Rebuild the reasoning

Clarify the underlying idea and identify any algebraic or conceptual dependency that is getting in the way.

3

Apply it independently

Move into carefully chosen AA-style problems, with the student taking increasing ownership of the solution.

What to bring to the lesson

A little context lets the tutor spend more of the lesson on the exact support the student needs.

  • Current topic or syllabus section
  • Recent marked work or a difficult question
  • Calculator model, if the lesson needs it
  • Next assessment date and target
