About Vivian

Looking for proven results or in-person math tutoring in Markham?

In 2026, six of my IB students achieved Level 7, the highest score, through my structured approach, weekly targeted exercises and graded work over 12 to 18 months.

I'm Vivian, a math tutor with 20 years of experience helping students in Grade 9-12 prepare for tests and exams across IB, AP, and standard programs.

I hold an Honours Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, and spent over a decade as a Software Developer at IBM.

My passion is helping students build strong math skills and improve their grades by 10– 20%.

Success Stories of My Long-Term Students:
------------------

-- Harvard Acceptance Story #1: From Grade 4 to Harvard

A student from Havergal College began working with me in Grade 4. Through consistent weekly two-hour sessions, she advanced her mathematics studies by three academic years and was later accepted to Harvard University.

-- Harvard Acceptance Story #2: Building an Academic Lead from Grade 3

A student from University of Toronto Schools began my program in Grade 3 and stayed two academic years ahead in mathematics. He consistently achieved grades of 97% or higher and was later admitted to Harvard University.

-- How did this happen?

These students practiced success (and also failures) early. They developed strong habits – discipline, consistency, and excellence – through years of focused work and advanced learning.



------------------
My Programs:
------------------

1. Advance One Grade in 4 Months
------------------
Complete the next grade's curriculum in 4 months through 2 classes per week (4 hours/week)

2. IB SL Exam Prep (DP1 students)
------------------
Start early with targeted support that builds on what students already know in DP1. Avoid last-minute cramming.

3. IB Exam-Style Workshop
------------------
Practice real exam-style questions, understand how marks are awarded, and learn how to avoid common mistakes that lead to cost marks.

------------------
Why I Created These Programs
------------------
Tutoring can be highly supportive and even more effective when paired with clear objectives and structure.

These programs are designed to be structured, time-bound, and goal-oriented, offering students a clear challenge with measurable outcomes.

My Tutoring Approach

. How to Achieve Higher Scores?
. What's my IB Exam Prep Method?


iPad & Apple Pencil Requirements for Both Online/In-Person Lessons
------------------
Before we arrange the lesson, please let me know if the student has an iPad and Apple Pencil.

I prefer working with students who have this setup for effective tutoring, as it allows me to have a line of sight into the student's work during the week and review their work more efficiently before each lesson.

This is especially important for IB students, as a significant part of the preparation involves independent work outside our tutoring sessions. Having an iPad and Apple Pencil allows me to review, mark, and provide feedback on students' work more efficiently, helping us stay on track and achieve our learning goals.


During the school year,
---------------------------
I tailor each session to reinforce what you're currently learning. My approach includes:

1. Bring the student up to speed on concepts they don't understand.

2. Practice assigned questions first to strengthen understanding of the material covered in class.

3. Build exam/test readiness with mock test questions that range from basic knowledge to higher-level thinking, and learn to recognize and tackle different question types.


After the school year ends,
---------------------------
I ask students to identify 3 units they find most challenging. We then focus on:

1. Reviewing key concepts in those areas.
2. Practicing a variety of related questions.


Whether during or outside the school year,
---------------------------
The goal is the same: to fill knowledge gaps, strengthen understanding, and help you feel confident going into your exams.


---------------------------
Mock Tests for Achieving High Scores
---------------------------
I set a goal for my student to complete at least one mock test per unit.

For those aiming for a 95%+ average, I recommend completing 3 or more mock tests to maximize performance.

These tests are graded so students can see which areas need improvement before the actual test day.


---------------------------
My IB Math Prep Strategy: By-Topic Learning and Tackle the Toughest 20% to Aim a Level 7
---------------------------
My approach is structured and targeted: with over 400 past exam questions (from 2006 to 2025) by topic, allowing students to master one area at a time.

This topic-specific method leads to deeper understanding, stronger retention, and ultimately better results.
