My path to IB MYP wasn't a straight line. I started out teaching IGCSE Math to grades 6 through 10 at an international school, and later moved into online tutoring — preparing UK-based students for their 11+ and 13+ entrance exams, alongside GCSE tutoring. It was after a move to a new city that I joined an IB World School, and that's where I first encountered the IB MYP curriculum properly. It changed how I thought about teaching math altogether.
Over 7+ years, I've taught and tutored 150+ students, and completed subject-specific IB training and workshops along the way. But what I kept noticing, across every curriculum I taught, was the same gap: students never had enough genuinely exam-style practice. Textbooks give you theory. Past papers are limited and get reused until students start pattern-matching instead of actually solving. What was missing was a steady supply of original, exam-style questions — real practice that mirrors what an actual assessment feels like, without the answers being memorized in advance.
That's why I built Informational Compass — starting with IB MYP 4 & 5 Standard Math, with plans to expand further over time. My approach is simple: if a concept doesn't click the first time, I don't just repeat it — I find a completely different way in. That might mean a new real-life example, a different analogy, or breaking the problem into smaller steps — whatever it takes, at whatever pace the student needs. I also believe practice should be active, not passive, which is why I regularly use quizzes to check understanding as we go, rather than waiting until the end. If there's one thing my students have said consistently, it's that I never lose patience — if a concept doesn't land the first time, I'll explain it again, differently, for as long as it takes. That same principle is baked into every practice paper here: complete, step-by-step worked solutions, so you're never stuck without support.
