Pietro Meloni, PhD in Physics, IB Mathematics and Physics tutor

IB Physics HL: a predicted 4, a 6 in the May exams, after four months.

T. Brown, parent · Google review

The problem

When results don’t move, more practice is rarely the answer.

Something specific is costing the marks, and until it is named, extra hours only repeat it. In my experience, the cause usually falls into six areas, often in combination.

Conceptual gaps
Problem solving
Exam technique
Time management
Reading the question
Gaps from earlier years

Does this sound familiar?

Do you recognise your child?

Works hard, but the grade doesn’t move.

The hours go into what already works.

Understands in class, loses it in the exam.

Exam performance is a separate skill, and it was never trained.

Has lost confidence in the subject.

Anxiety now costs more marks than the subject does.

Already strong, aiming for a 7 at HL.

The last boundary is decided by the hardest questions and the IA.

What is usually happening, and what changes

The approach

Diagnosis before repetition.

A real official past paper, worked through while I watch how the student thinks.
Conceptual, technical and exam-performance problems, separated.
Work on the areas with the greatest impact, on real papers.
Timed papers against the baseline. Progress measured, not assumed.

About me

Fees

From AED 1,280 per month.

One lesson a week. Two a week, the programme I recommend when a grade has to move by a fixed date, is AED 2,560. Each lesson is 50 minutes, with a short written update after it, periodic timed papers and your private family area.
