Andrew for Hire - A little more about myself!

Hello hello hello! Welcome to the website! If you're here, there's a very good chance you're also in my mocks server . However, if you come from the IB server (I occasionally shared some posts there to get more traffic), you'll see that I have loads to offer. c; If you're interested, please fill out this form:  Andrew's tutoring form . I'll get in touch with you to understand your needs better. Just reach out and I'm more than happy to discuss your particular needs. Group tutoring are also available at a discount, please get in touch! Who am I? I'm a Chemical Engineering graduate from McGill, has a passion for assessments (especially maths assessments) and develops a passion for good teaching. I'm a mock exam writer (duh, I have an entire mocks server) since May 2020, writing papers for both AA and AI every exam season. I've been a session leader and occasionally revision organiser on the IB server for some time now. Here's the link to so...

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.4) Logs and Exponential

Image
Hiya! It's this time of the year again.   The unit test consists of three standards - simplifying logs and exponential expressions, solving logs and exponential equations and handling logs and exponential functions. The SL and HL versions are very similar, with only slight differences in Standard 2 and 3, making the paper a bit less algebraically demanding. AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew  

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.4) Trigonometric identities (v2.4)

Hiya! It's Andrew and once again we're back with my FAVOURITE topic in the entire course - trig identities! You'll have a chance to experience what it's like to be Vietnamese (yes, we take trig equations VERY seriously) and a dozen questions to flex your trig identities muscles. Today's tests feature reciprocal and inverse trig functions for HL and the Identities for All.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew  

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.4) Integral Calculus

Hiya! After a month's hiatus, I'm now back with the unit tests on integration. If you haven't checked out the new YouTube channel , please give it a like and subscribe! c; Today's tests cover integration techniques, definite integrals and applications of integration, including but not limited to finding areas and kinematics. The HL tests cover HL integration techniques (integration by parts, more advanced substitution and trigonometric substitution), as well as HL applications (volume of revolution, reduction formula and an introduction to improper integrals). Note that you have 90 minutes (instead of 1h) to answer all the questions. Take your time... but also don't! AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Until next time! Andrew  

[AAHL][AASL] (Unit Test v2.4) Differential Calculus

Hiya! This is the second calculus test in the Unit Test v2.4 series. The first two standards for SL and HL are identical, but the grade boundaries will be a little easier on SL.  The first standard is on differentiation techniques, testing your ability to use the chain rule, product rule and quotient rule to find derivatives and solve simple problems. The second standard is on applications of differentiation - graphical analysis and optimisation. The third standard, HL differentiation techniques, focuses on implicit differentiation and higher derivatives. AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew
