IB Mathematics, taught one student at a time.
I’m Alex Koo. I have taught mathematics to international-school students in Singapore for more than 16 years. I will take on a small number of new students for home-visit 1:1 tutoring from May 2027, and university admissions consulting is available now.
Places are limited and offered after an interview and placement test.

How I can help
University strategy, from IB subject choice to offer
IB subject, major and country strategy for the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea, from Grade 9 to applications in Grade 12. I work with a few families each year.
Group classes
I also teach small-group IB and IGCSE Mathematics classes at an academy in Orchard.
Included in every tutoring month
Preparation beyond the two hours
Question bank
IB Math past papers since 1999
I draw on IB Mathematics past papers going back to 1999, and give students more than 2,400 questions from the last 20 years, sorted by topic and question type and updated every exam session.
Other IB subjects
Past papers for other IB subjects
For IB students, topic-sorted past-paper questions for their other subjects, such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Business Management.
Workbook
Workbook and flash cards
A dedicated notebook for every worked solution, plus flash cards for formulas, definitions and common question patterns.
School exams
School exam preparation
Targeted problem sets before unit tests and mock exams at the student’s school.
Learning system
Study methods and mentoring
I review how the student studies as a whole, including habits, planning and revision, and teach methods that make study time more efficient in every subject.
Reports
Lesson feedback and monthly report
Written feedback after every lesson, compiled into a report for parents each month.
I just wanted to reach out after a year of college and tell you thank you for all the time and effort you put into our weekly tutoring lessons.
Enquiries are open
New 1:1 tutoring starts in May 2027, and admissions consulting is available now. Tell me about your child’s course, school and goals. I read and reply to every enquiry myself.
