Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors
serving Peoria, IL

Having earned the IB Diploma herself, Zo knows the Analysis and Approaches curriculum inside out — the internal assessment expectations, the way Paper 1 and Paper 2 split non-calculator and calculator work, and the specific style of justification IB examiners want. She breaks down topics like differential calculus and probability distributions with the kind of clarity that comes from recently navigating the program as a student.

I am a recent graduate of Princeton University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring and have done so in multiple capacities over the last four years, including a fellowship during which I taught pre-algebraic math to a group of middle school students from traditionally underserved backgrounds in Saint Paul, MN. I love interacting with students and seeing them grow over the course of their studies. I'm ecstatic at the opportunity to learn alongside them as we venture into educational rabbit holes and uncover key concepts about math, science, and everything else.

She zeroes in on the conceptual understanding the IB examiners reward in Paper 2 and Paper 3 long-response questions.

IB Analysis and Approaches demands comfort with proof-style reasoning, calculus, and abstract algebra topics that many students encounter for the first time under exam pressure. Kate's science-heavy coursework at DePaul keeps her sharp on the rigorous mathematical thinking this course requires, particularly around differentiation, integration, and function analysis. She breaks multi-step problems into smaller logical moves so the overall structure becomes visible.

IB Math: Analysis and Approaches demands fluency across calculus, proof-based reasoning, and mathematical modeling at a level that surprises many students. Ryan's coursework at Cornell in computer science overlaps heavily with the program's emphasis on sequences, series, and formal logic, giving him a practical grip on the material that goes well beyond exam prep.

Having earned his own IB Diploma, Dalton knows firsthand how Analysis and Approaches blends proof-style reasoning with demanding problem sets covering sequences, differential calculus, and probability distributions. He's particularly sharp on the internal assessment component, coaching students to choose a viable math exploration topic and develop it with the rigor IB examiners expect.

I am not someone who is satisfied when a student memorizes steps to solve a problem. I always want the student to understand what he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my explanations, through theoretical and visual interpretations. In my spare time I like to paint and run.

IB Math: Analysis and Approaches demands comfort with proof-style reasoning and multi-step problems that blend calculus, algebra, and statistics in a single question. Allison's physics background gives her fluency with the kind of mathematical modeling the IB curriculum emphasizes, and her eight years of tutoring experience mean she knows how to pace students through both SL and HL content without letting anything slip through the cracks.

Analysis and Approaches leans heavily on proof-style thinking and algebraic manipulation, especially at HL, but even SL students need to be comfortable with sequences, calculus concepts, and function transformations. Lindsey's double major in biology and maritime studies gave her daily practice applying these exact tools to data analysis and modeling, so she teaches them with that practical lens intact.

IB Analysis and Approaches is one of the most demanding high school math curricula out there, blending proof-based reasoning with heavy calculus and statistics content. Kaitlyn's strength is connecting the course's abstract topics — sequences and series, complex differentiation, probability distributions — to the scientific modeling she does as a medical student. She also knows how to structure study around IB's specific exam format, including the paper 3 investigation component.
