Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have over five years of teaching experience specializing in IB Maths HL/SL, IB Chemistry HL/SL, AP Calculus, AP Precalculus, and GCSE/IGCSE/A-Level/AP Chemistry, having worked in both international schools and online tutoring platforms. I’ve taught a diverse range of students, helping them achieve excellent academic results. My online tutoring experience includes working with students from Asia, where I’ve tailored lessons to meet their academic goals and prepare them for acceptance into prestigious universities. I am committed to creating engaging lessons that adapt to individual student needs, fostering both understanding and success in their subjects.

Tutoring Approach

When I begin working with a student, my first step is to identify their specific needs—whether they want to catch up on content, deepen their understanding, or improve their test-taking skills. From there, I craft lessons tailored to these goals, ensuring they know exactly what they need to achieve. We develop a structured plan together, outlining the amount of material required for success. I incorporate tools like my iPad for notes and interactive whiteboards to make the learning process more dynamic and accessible, ensuring each lesson is engaging and suited to the student’s style of learning.

In addition to customized lessons, I rely on past papers and practice tests to gauge student progress and adjust our approach as needed. Regular assessments help track improvement and build confidence as we work through the material. Equally important is creating a positive, comfortable environment where students feel at ease to ask questions and engage fully in the learning process. By fostering this supportive relationship, I ensure students not only meet their academic goals but also gain a stronger, long-lasting understanding of the subject.

Testimonials

Kuutti, IB Maths & Chemistry Student

"Prepares explanations for questions sent beforehand, punctual, explains one topic in different ways for better understanding, etc. He has helped me catch up all the work that I missed and the topics I didn't fully understand which has improved my efficiency and overall performance in the class."

Merliah, IB Chemistry Student

"5/5
Mr. Rodrigo has an in-depth understanding of the syllabus and chemistry overall and was able to answer all my questions clearly and thoroughly. Mr. Rodrigo’s approach to teaching is really adaptive depending on the type of lesson we are taking, this helped when we had to balance the quantitative and qualitative aspects of chemistry. The sessions were always well planned and not a minute was wasted, we were able to cover a huge chunk of the IB chemistry material under time pressure. Overall with Mr. Rodrigo’s help and guidance I was able to achieve the score I needed in IB Chemistry. I fully recommend Mr. Rodrigo for any Chemistry student who finds the subject challenging, as he was truly a game changer in my approach to a subject I used to fear."

Mansour, IB Chemistry Student

Rodrigo is amazing he took the time to review the material I sent him that I didn’t understand. To which he answered every single one and then explained it clearly to me. I 100%recommend him if you have a test the next day and have no idea what is going on. Trust me he literally explained 2 weeks of confusion in 1 hour. I feel ready to ace that test all thanks to Rodrigo!

Anna, Maths Student

Amazing Tutor! Rodrigo really dedicates his time to making sure you understand the concepts and are prepared for your exams/quizzes. He is a great explainer, and honestly one of the best tutors I’ve had. He knows what he is talking about and very professional.
