Private IB Tutoring From Professional IB Teachers

Farhana currently teaches Mathematics at one of Toronto’s leading private schools and previously served as Head of the Mathematics Department at another school. She holds an Engineering degree from Assumption University of Thailand and a master’s degree from Framingham University. She has several years of experience teaching high school Mathematics, including IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation, and she is an IB Mathematics examiner who assesses Internal Assessments.

Farhana is deeply committed to helping students make significant progress, including students who begin at a lower achievement level and are aiming for top IB results. She believes that no student is incapable of doing Mathematics and that, with the right direction, structure, practice, and encouragement, every student can improve. Her teaching focuses on building strong conceptual understanding, mathematical confidence, clear communication, and effective exam technique.

Farida graduated from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in 2021 with an outstanding score of 43/45. She achieved 7s in Business Management HL, Psychology HL, English B HL, and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation SL, alongside 6s in Chemistry SL and Arabic A: Language and Literature SL. She also earned the full 3 core points, achieving an A in both Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and her Extended Essay (EE). She later graduated with honors from The American University in Cairo (AUC).
Having experienced the demands of the IB firsthand and achieved excellent results across a diverse range of subjects, Farida understands both the academic pressure and stress that come with the Diploma Programme. She knows that succeeding in the IB is not simply about understanding the content, but also about developing effective study strategies, managing workloads, preparing for assessments, and maintaining confidence throughout the journey.
As a tutor, Farida is supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in her students’ success. She aims to make challenging concepts easier to understand while adapting her teaching style to each student’s individual needs and goals. Having experienced how demanding the IB can be, Farida wants to make the journey less stressful and more manageable for her students, while being someone they can rely on for both academic guidance and encouragement. Her goal is not only to help students achieve excellent results, but also to help them build confidence, enjoy the learning process, and feel supported throughout their IB experience.

Felix was born in Güines, a large village in Cuba, where he grew up surrounded by nature—likely the reason he still loves being outdoors. He attended a high-tech secondary school, where he developed a passion for Physics, Mathematics, science, and electronics. He later moved to Europe, where he earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electronic Engineering. Seven years spent in various European cities gave him a deep appreciation for art, history, and museums, as well as friendships with people from all over the world.

He first worked as an engineer at a biotechnology research center and later taught IB Physics, Mathematics, and IGCSE Science for over ten years at an international school in Havana (ISH). He also tutored students in IB Mathematics across two consecutive syllabuses: Mathematical Studies and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI). Through tutoring and classroom teaching, he came to understand firsthand what inclusiveness, active learning, differentiation, and inquiry truly mean.

Now retired from in-person teaching, he lives in Buenos Aires with his wife and his daughter's family. He is excited to continue teaching and learning with you!
