Math is often considered the “make-or-break” subject for students pursuing IB, IGCSE, or AP programs. While these international curriculums are designed to develop strong analytical and problem solving skills, many students find themselves overwhelmed or stuck, not due to lack of effort, but because of a gap in strategy and support.
At Hemtor, we specialize in guiding students through these challenges with our focused and structured online tutoring approach.
Common Reasons Students Struggle in IB & IGCSE Math
- Jump in Concept Complexity
International curricula like IB and IGCSE introduce abstract thinking earlier. Many students are not prepared for the leap from procedural math to conceptual math.
How Hemtor Helps:
We break down complex ideas into digestible steps, using visuals, examples, and targeted practice to build clarity.
- Lack of Personalized Attention
In classroom settings, even the best students might not get the chance to clarify their doubts.
How Hemtor Helps:
Our one-on-one and small group sessions ensure each student gets the space and time to ask questions, revisit weak areas, and practice at their own pace.
- Fear of Word Problems and Applications
Math is no longer just numbers, it’s solving real world problems. Many students struggle with translating word problems into equations.
How Hemtor Helps:
We train students on problem deconstruction techniques, guiding them to break questions into steps and connect math with real life logic.
- Time Management During Exams
Many students know the concepts but struggle to finish papers on time.
How Hemtor Helps:
Timed mock tests, feedback based strategy adjustments, and pacing techniques help our students manage time confidently during exams.
- Low Confidence in Multi Step Problems
Long form math problems often involve multiple topics, and students may get stuck midway, even if they understand each part individually.
How Hemtor Helps:
We teach structured thinking and linking techniques so students can connect concepts and confidently solve advanced problems.
