Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Sports, Exercise and Health Science is a specialized IB subject that combines physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and nutrition into one integrated course. While biology focuses on general cellular and genetic concepts, and PE emphasizes physical activity, SEHS requires you to understand why the body responds the way it does during exercise and how to apply that knowledge to real-world health scenarios. This means mastering both theoretical concepts (like VO2 max and energy systems) and practical applications (like training programs and injury prevention), which requires a different study approach than traditional science classes.

Students typically struggle with three main areas: (1) integrating multiple disciplines—you need to connect physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition rather than treating them separately; (2) applying theory to practice—exams expect you to analyze real training scenarios and health problems using scientific principles; and (3) data interpretation—understanding VO2 max tests, lactate threshold graphs, and body composition analysis requires comfort with scientific data. Personalized tutoring helps because a tutor can identify which specific concepts are holding you back and teach you how to make those critical connections between topics.

Personalized tutoring targets your specific knowledge gaps rather than reviewing everything uniformly. A tutor can pinpoint whether you struggle with energy system concepts, biomechanical analysis, or exam technique, then design focused lessons around those areas. They can also teach you how to structure extended response answers to earn full marks on essay questions, practice interpreting unfamiliar data sets, and work through past papers under timed conditions with immediate feedback—all tailored to your learning pace and style, which research shows accelerates progress far more than classroom instruction alone.

The best SEHS tutors combine two things: (1) deep subject expertise—they understand the IB curriculum requirements, common misconceptions, and how to teach complex concepts like the sliding filament theory or training adaptations clearly; and (2) practical experience—ideally they've studied exercise science, worked in fitness or healthcare, or coached athletes, so they can connect theory to real examples that make concepts stick. They should also be skilled at explaining why things work physiologically, not just memorizing facts, and comfortable working through data analysis and extended response essay writing.

Most students see measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused tutoring—typically one or two sessions per week—especially if they're addressing specific weak topics like energy systems or biomechanics. However, if you're aiming for a significant grade jump (like moving from a 5 to a 7), expect 2-3 months of regular sessions combined with consistent independent practice. The timeline depends on your starting point, how frequently you tutor, and how actively you apply what you learn to practice questions and past papers between sessions.

Energy systems (aerobic vs. anaerobic pathways and lactate threshold) and biomechanics (levers, force analysis, and muscle actions) are the most commonly challenging topics because they require both mathematical understanding and spatial visualization. Many students also struggle with the Internal Assessment component—designing and analyzing a valid exercise experiment while controlling variables. Additionally, integrating psychology concepts (like motivation and mental preparation) with physiological adaptations often trips up students who tend to compartmentalize their learning. A tutor can break these topics into digestible pieces and show you how they connect to exam questions.

IB SEHS builds a strong foundation in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and research methods that directly transfer to university programs in sports science, exercise physiology, physical therapy, nursing, or related health fields. The course teaches you how to think scientifically about human performance—analyzing data, designing experiments, and solving real-world health problems—which are exactly the skills you'll need at university. If you're planning to study health-related fields, scoring well in SEHS demonstrates both content knowledge and the analytical thinking required for advanced study, making you a stronger applicant.
