Before calculus, algebra, or even geometry — mathematics begins with numbers and the art of arithmetic. These skills are the building blocks for all higher-level thinking in IB, A-Level, AP, and Olympiad math.
But here’s the truth: many students struggle with advanced math not because they’re weak — but because their basics were never built with care.
As an international private math mentor, I focus not only on advanced concepts, but also on repairing and mastering foundations for lifelong success.
📘 What Topics Are Covered?
This is far beyond basic school drilling. My mentoring includes:
1. Place Value, Number Systems & Types
- Whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals
- Prime numbers, factors, multiples
- Rational and irrational numbers
- Scientific notation and surds (IB/A-Level bridge)
🔑 I help students intuitively understand structure of number systems — not just memorize rules.
2. Operations and Order of Operations
- Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- BODMAS / PEMDAS mastery
- Mental math techniques and estimation
🧠 Speed and accuracy come from strong internal number sense, which I help develop personally.
3. Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages
- Converting and comparing
- Ratio and proportion
- Real-life applications (finance, data, etc.)
📊 These skills support problem-solving across statistics, economics, and real-world modeling.
4. Factors, Multiples, and Number Properties
- LCM and HCF techniques
- Divisibility rules
- Even/odd, prime/composite properties
- Modulo and congruence (bridge to number theory)
📚 Important for Olympiad and entrance exam readiness too.
5. Word Problems and Logic
- Multi-step problems
- Age, time, speed-distance questions
- Logical puzzles using arithmetic
💡 This is where students learn to “think in math” — the key to success beyond the basics.
🎓 Who Is This Mentoring For?
✅ Students preparing for IB MYP, IGCSE Core/Foundation, or GCSE Maths
✅ Students transitioning into IB DP, A-Level, or AP who need to revisit or master foundations
✅ Parents looking for long-term mentorship, not just short-term tutoring
✅ Gifted young learners who need acceleration in arithmetic and logic
