Sean

Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kent State University. Throughout middle and high school, my access to tutors and other assistance services was limited. This in turn inhibited my learning and caused me to struggle in aspects of school that never really clicked. So I want to give others what I never got, and hopefully make learning easier to achieve. My subject of choice is math, but specifically, I tutor Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry.

Sam

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate from Yale University with a degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. An advocate for math and science education, I have become a writer and poet concerned with aesthetic philosophy since my graduation. My passion for teaching has taken on many forms, including as a music instructor, having maintained a private cello studio and conducted after-school string orchestra programs, as a running coach for youth and high school cross country and track athletes, and as a tutor in math and chemistry. At the moment, I tutor mathematics, which I believe to be an exceptionally crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a performing musician, and an amateur distance runner.

Alireza

Academic Coaching Tutor • +37 Subjects

I have 17 years experience in teaching general English, IELTS, TOEFL, and other international exams. I obtained my MA 14 years ago and am currently a PhD student in English teaching. I love to share my knowledge with my students in a friendly, warm, and culturally comfortable atmosphere I create all through my classes. I am particularly good at teaching speaking and writing in a smooth and exciting way. My students receive step-wise instructions in writing and clear feedback on their work. For speaking, I mostly focus on what my students want English for. This, I believe, maximizes our class efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sports, Exercise and Health Science is a specialized IB subject that combines physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and nutrition into one integrated course. While biology focuses on general cellular and genetic concepts, and PE emphasizes physical activity, SEHS requires you to understand why the body responds the way it does during exercise and how to apply that knowledge to real-world health scenarios. This means mastering both theoretical concepts (like VO2 max and energy systems) and practical applications (like training programs and injury prevention), which requires a different study approach than traditional science classes.

Students typically struggle with three main areas: (1) integrating multiple disciplines—you need to connect physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition rather than treating them separately; (2) applying theory to practice—exams expect you to analyze real training scenarios and health problems using scientific principles; and (3) data interpretation—understanding VO2 max tests, lactate threshold graphs, and body composition analysis requires comfort with scientific data. Personalized tutoring helps because a tutor can identify which specific concepts are holding you back and teach you how to make those critical connections between topics.

Personalized tutoring targets your specific knowledge gaps rather than reviewing everything uniformly. A tutor can pinpoint whether you struggle with energy system concepts, biomechanical analysis, or exam technique, then design focused lessons around those areas. They can also teach you how to structure extended response answers to earn full marks on essay questions, practice interpreting unfamiliar data sets, and work through past papers under timed conditions with immediate feedback—all tailored to your learning pace and style, which research shows accelerates progress far more than classroom instruction alone.

The best SEHS tutors combine two things: (1) deep subject expertise—they understand the IB curriculum requirements, common misconceptions, and how to teach complex concepts like the sliding filament theory or training adaptations clearly; and (2) practical experience—ideally they've studied exercise science, worked in fitness or healthcare, or coached athletes, so they can connect theory to real examples that make concepts stick. They should also be skilled at explaining why things work physiologically, not just memorizing facts, and comfortable working through data analysis and extended response essay writing.

Most students see measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused tutoring—typically one or two sessions per week—especially if they're addressing specific weak topics like energy systems or biomechanics. However, if you're aiming for a significant grade jump (like moving from a 5 to a 7), expect 2-3 months of regular sessions combined with consistent independent practice. The timeline depends on your starting point, how frequently you tutor, and how actively you apply what you learn to practice questions and past papers between sessions.

Energy systems (aerobic vs. anaerobic pathways and lactate threshold) and biomechanics (levers, force analysis, and muscle actions) are the most commonly challenging topics because they require both mathematical understanding and spatial visualization. Many students also struggle with the Internal Assessment component—designing and analyzing a valid exercise experiment while controlling variables. Additionally, integrating psychology concepts (like motivation and mental preparation) with physiological adaptations often trips up students who tend to compartmentalize their learning. A tutor can break these topics into digestible pieces and show you how they connect to exam questions.

IB SEHS builds a strong foundation in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and research methods that directly transfer to university programs in sports science, exercise physiology, physical therapy, nursing, or related health fields. The course teaches you how to think scientifically about human performance—analyzing data, designing experiments, and solving real-world health problems—which are exactly the skills you'll need at university. If you're planning to study health-related fields, scoring well in SEHS demonstrates both content knowledge and the analytical thinking required for advanced study, making you a stronger applicant.
