IB Mathematics
HLIB Maths HL tuition: algebra, functions, calculus, vectors, statistics and probability, proof, Paper 3 problem solving and IA guidance.
Overview
IB Diploma Mathematics is offered as two courses, Analysis and Approaches (AA) and Applications and Interpretation (AI), each at Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level. Both cover five topics: number and algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and calculus. HL goes into more depth, with extra content such as proof and further calculus in AA, or modelling and advanced statistics in AI.
IB Maths is taught by Matteo Locatelli, who holds an MSc in Space Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and has more than three years of experience teaching IB, high school and university students. Lessons adapt to each student, building deep understanding of hard topics, IA preparation and exam confidence.
Lessons run online and 1-to-1 on Google Meet, with a shared virtual whiteboard.

FAQ
HL has three exam papers and an internal assessment. Papers 1 and 2 are 2 hours each and worth 30% each. Paper 3 is a 1-hour problem-solving paper worth 20%, and the mathematical exploration (IA) is worth 20%.
Analysis and Approaches focuses on algebra, calculus and proof, with a non-calculator Paper 1. Applications and Interpretation focuses on modelling, statistics and technology, with a calculator on every paper.
Paper 3 is an HL-only paper with two longer problem-solving questions that lead you through an unfamiliar idea step by step.
Yes. IA support covers choosing a topic, planning the mathematics and structuring the report, within the IB's rules on the help a tutor can give.
Lessons are online and 1-to-1 on Google Meet, using a shared OneNote whiteboard to work through equations and diagrams together.
