Mathematics is an obligatory course for a student to earn an IB Diploma. There are two mathematics courses, both offered at a Standard and Higher Level:
A student chooses one among these options at a Standard (SL) or Higher (HL) Level, according to his/her desired university degree in close collaboration with their school. However, some schools do not offer all four options because of lack of staff or restrictions due to the students’ choices.
I am academically qualified to teach both courses at any level, and have been awarded certificates from the International Baccalaureate Organization (I.B.O.) for my successful participation in their workshop courses.
This is an ongoing process and I am continuously engaged in lifelong education to improve my knowledge and sharpen my IB Mathematics specialization. Students and their parents seeking a tutor specialized in IB’s specific courses therefore benefit from someone who has not just studied Mathematics!
In addition to my personal notes, I offer my students all of the coursebooks needed for IB Mathematics. Moreover, my office is equipped with everything else needed to make the lesson an enjoyable and productive experience.
Internal assessment (IA) is a required component of the IB Mathematics course for both SL and HL students, and it contributes 20% to the final mark. IA is a piece of written work in which students investigate a mathematical subject. It allows them to demonstrate the application of their talents and abilities, while following their personal interests without the time limits and other restrictions inherent in the written exams. Internal assessment should be woven into regular classroom instruction as much as possible, rather than being a stand-alone consideration after the course has been taught.
It is graded on the basis of five parameters:
Unfortunately, many schools don’t offer students as much help as they need with IA, and they feel alone facing a task which seems insurmountable. I have helped many students to write impressive mathematical explorations for their IA which have been always graded with the highest possible marks. I am aware of the official IB guidelines, and am equally conscious of the obligation for academic honesty. I counsel students as to where to start, which books and articles they should study and, of course, how to record the results of their research.
All the IA investigations of my students written under my supervision are kept in my portfolio. I am proud of the highly graded IA mathematical explorations I have supervised, and can arrange for you to see them at any time, if interested.
Please get in touch with me for reliable and cost-effective assistance with your internal assessment mathematical exploration (IA).
Extended Essay (EE) in mathematics is not a popular choice for IB students, but it is a wonderful journey for those who dare to take it. I like to say that if the IA exploration is analogous to a Master thesis, then the Extended Essay is the Ph.D. dissertation!
Having sound expertise in IB Extended Essays in mathematics, I welcome anyone seeking reliable support. Extended Essay is an indispensable component for earning an IB Diploma, and it must be carefully written for students to attain its three marks, along with TOK.
These are some (but not all) of my contributions to students’ EE:
Don’t be hesitant and give mathematics a chance in your Extended Essay subject selection! You won’t be alone, and we will enjoy the journey together!
Depending on the specific interests of students and seasonal needs, I offer numerous options for IB students such as:
Don’t worry — there are a few carefully selected and skilled private tutors for all the other IB courses (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Management, English, TOK etc.) who collaborate with me, so every student will be completely prepared for IB exams. They are all highly qualified and have a track record of delivering dependable tuition services to my students with proven success.
Manos AlevrasDecember 22, 2024 A very organized, professional, and experienced team. Fully recommend. Γρηγορης ΚακαρασκαληςDecember 19, 2024 Εξαιρετικός επαγγελματίες τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα. Spiros KouloumprakisDecember 17, 2024 No one does it better than Mr. Gavras. Went in with a grade U in AS level maths and came out with a score four grades higher! Not only are his explanations the epitome of clear and concise, he will not mind repeating himself several times until the content is understood. Thank you for all the help! Αλεξάνδρα ΖακυνθινούDecember 17, 2024 Ο κύριος Γαβρας και η ομάδα του είναι εξαιρετικοί επαγγελματίες, άριστοι γνώστες του εκπαιδευτικού αντικειμένου τους και πάνω από όλα “άνθρωποι”, πραγματικά κοντά στο μαθητή και τις ανάγκες του! Το συνιστώ χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη! Είναι ευτύχημα να υπάρχουν τέτοιοι επαγγελματίες στις μέρες μας . Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ! Julie CostaDecember 4, 2024 Very professional, understood out child’s needs and enabled him to improve his Ui Kley. Great communication, we were kept aware of the programme so we could easily keep track of progress. ARGYRIOS KAPSAMPELISNovember 12, 2024 Εξαιρετική γνώση του αντικειμένου και πολύχρονη εμπειρία από τον κ. Γαβρά και τους συνεργάτες του. CharaSeptember 30, 2024 I had the opportunity to collaborate with Mr. Gavras as a college and career counselor for a year now. During our partnership with Mr. Gavras, I admired his deep knowledge of the IB and A-Levels curriculum along with his great pedagogical approach with students. I would highly recommend Mr. Gavras if you are a student aiming for top-tier universities. JohnJuly 15, 2024 Very professional and organized! Mr. Gavras is an excellent and experienced teacher who ensures success for his students. I deeply appreciate the guidance and support he provided. Thank you, Mr. Gavras, for your dedication and help!
