From Grade 3 to Grade 6: How Luna Mastered IB Mathematics

written by
Priyanjana Dey

The Challenge

Luna had a basic understanding of the IB syllabus but struggled to consistently solve questions requiring conceptual application and higher-order problem-solving. The goal wasn't just better grades — it was building the confidence, accuracy, and exam readiness that IB Mathematics demands.

Student: Luna

Grade: 12

Curriculum: International Baccalaureate (IB)

Subject: Mathematics (AIHL)

Tutor: Priyanjana Dey

Duration with Mentor Match: 5 Months

Classes per Week: 2

The Tailor Made Approach

Luna's learning followed a structured three-phase plan:

Foundations first. Every topic was covered thoroughly before moving forward. Where gaps appeared, targeted practice was built into the next session.

Exam-style practice. Once the syllabus was complete, Luna worked through IB Paper 1 and Paper 2-style assessments outside class. Each paper was reviewed in detail — mistakes, alternative methods, and strategies for accuracy and efficiency.

Integrated revision. In the final stretch, sessions connected concepts across chapters rather than revising topics in isolation — the way IB actually tests.

The Result

Over five months, Luna improved from IB Mathematics Grade 3 to Grade 6 — moving from Average to Good academic performance, with 95% attendance and consistent homework completion throughout.

"A 6/7 is remarkable. Really good efforts. SO PROUD of you." — Priyanjana Dey, Luna's Tutor

"She did really well." — Ruba Harfoush, Luna's Mother

Habits That Helped Luna Get There

The structured plan only worked because Luna showed up for it — every time.

  • 95% attendance — rarely missed a session
  • Consistent homework completion — completed all assigned practice outside class
  • Actively engaged with feedback — treated every reviewed paper as a learning opportunity, not just a score

Looking Ahead

Luna now wishes to get into her dream universities and fulfill her dream of becoming an architect.
