About me
Hi, I’m Ashleigh - the teacher behind Miss IB Maths.
​
When you join my tutoring programme, it’s me on the other side.
​
No random tutors.
No uncertainty about who your child will learn from.
​
Just one qualified maths teacher who genuinely cares about their progress.
​
For the past eight years, I’ve been an IB examiner and IB mathematics teacher in top international schools across Europe, helping students with different backgrounds, levels of confidence, learning styles and needs.
​
When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me outdoors - hiking, skiing, paragliding, scuba diving, ski touring, or exploring somewhere new with my Australian Shepherd, Blue.
Why I Teach Maths
Many students feel anxious about maths or assume they’re “just not good at it.”
My mission is to change that.
​
I love helping students move from frustration and self-doubt to confidence and belief in themselves. I want them to see that being ‘good at maths’ is not only something you are simply born with or without - it grows through practice, support, and the right guidance.
​
I believe maths is a powerful subject - not because everyone needs trigonometry in their career, but because it helps students develop:
​
-
strong reasoning and problem-solving skills,
-
resilience when things feel challenging,
-
clear, flexible thinking, and
-
confidence in handling complex situations.
Even if your child doesn’t need maths for their future studies, learning it well gives them essential tools for life.
Why Students Struggle - And How I Fix It
Most students find maths difficult because their foundations were never fully secure.
​
It’s a bit like fitness: you can’t go to the gym once and expect results.
​
Maths works the same way.
If core number and algebra skills aren’t strong, advanced topics feel overwhelming.
​
That’s why I always begin with a diagnostic test. It shows me exactly where the gaps are and what your child needs. From there, I create a personalised learning plan built from years of real classroom experience.
​
How I Teach
My approach is friendly, structured, and highly supportive.
I focus on:
-
clear explanations,
-
steady confidence-building,
-
adapted practice to the student's learning style,
-
celebrating progress along the way.
Because it's simple: one-off tutoring sessions are not going to change grades. Consistent practice does.
​
Maths is a skill, and skills grow through repetition, coaching, and time.
A tutoring subscription ensures your child gets the structure, routine, and reinforcement they need to make meaningful progress.
​
If your child needs a tutor who truly understands the IB and who is committed to making maths feel simpler and less intimidating, I’d love to support them.
