Who you'll be learning from

Phil Hulme, IB Maths Help and Developing Maths tutor

Phil Hulme

Qualified Maths Teacher · Developing Maths

Over 14 years of teaching experience, in the classroom and online, with IB students from schools around the world. Lessons are built around a deep, day-to-day familiarity with the IB Maths syllabus and mark schemes — not just textbook procedure — including help with the Internal Assessment (IA), from choosing a topic through to polishing the final write-up.

The same person who built and maintains this site's entire IB Maths practice-question bank and auto-marking engine — lessons and the practice site are designed to work together, not as two separate things.

Courses covered

Whatever course and level you're studying, lessons are tailored to your own pace and the way you personally learn best — not a fixed script.

Why 1-to-1 tuition, alongside the practice questions?

The free practice questions on this site are built to give you instant, auto-marked feedback on thousands of exam-style problems — brilliant for repetition and building fluency at your own pace. Tuition is for the part auto-marking can't do: working through why something isn't clicking, in real time, with someone who teaches these exact courses every day.

🧠 Understanding over procedure

The goal is genuine understanding of the maths, not memorised steps that fall apart the moment a question is phrased differently.

📝 Exam technique & past papers

Real past-paper practice and technique, not just content — the two are taught together, the way they're actually examined.

📐 IA support

One-to-one help with the Internal Assessment — picking a strong topic, structuring the exploration, and working through the maths itself. Pairs well with the free IA guide on this site.

💬 Adaptive to how you learn

Every student is different — lessons flex to individual pace and learning style rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
