How can my child prepare for IB Maths and Physics after IGCSE?
Nexus International School Singapore students prepare for IB Maths and Physics in DP1 by strengthening the foundations developed before their Year 11 IGCSE exams. I focus on algebra, functions, graphs and scientific reasoning so that the move into the IB Diploma starts with secure methods and clear explanations. Nexus students sit IGCSE exams in Year 11 and then take the IB Diploma. That transition makes independent problem solving and explaining each step useful priorities for preparation. As published by the school, the Nexus Class of 2026 averaged 35.7 IB points against a world average of 30.88, and 98% of students scored 30 points or more. These cohort results provide context, while I plan **IB tuition** around the individual student's starting point, chosen subjects and understanding of the material.
Which areas of IB Maths and Physics can tuition help with?
Nexus International School Singapore students can use IB Maths tuition and IB Physics tuition to work on AA or AI, demanding HL questions and the Internal Assessment. I identify the source of a difficulty, then use explanation, guided practice and independent questions to develop a method the student can apply again. As published by the school, half of all Nexus grades in the 2026 IGCSE results were A* to A (9 to 7). Strong previous results can still leave new demands to address in the Diploma. In **Maths AA**, I work on algebraic reasoning and calculus; in **Maths AI**, on modelling, statistics and interpreting technology outputs. For HL Paper 3, I develop extended problem solving within the chosen course. Physics HL support connects concepts, equations and data. For the IA, I discuss scope, reasoning and clarity while keeping the work the student's own.
How do online lessons fit into our Singapore evenings?
Nexus International School Singapore students can schedule one-to-one online IB Maths and Physics tuition on weekdays between 5 pm and 9 pm Singapore time. I teach from Europe and use this Singapore evening window to arrange sessions around each family's school commitments, activities and available time for independent study. I hold a **PhD in Physics**, specialising in experimental particle physics, and have more than ten years of experience teaching international-school students. Before we begin, I ask about the course, current topics and specific difficulties. During lessons, I explain ideas, ask the student to show their reasoning and work through relevant problems together. I use that work to decide what needs further practice. All tuition is individual and online, with **IB tuition** focused on understanding, clear written solutions and increasingly independent work.
Nexus International School Singapore families can book a 20-minute assessment session with me to discuss IB Maths or Physics needs. The session carries no charge and no commitment.
