About Me

Hi! My name is Mihaela, I am both Bulgarian and Italian as I was born in Bulgaria and grew up in Milano, Italy, where I studied Management engineering.
I am an easy-going person who loves to discover new cultures and places. The driver of my motivation is curiosity, I like to learn and explore new things. Being able to get to know different customs, traditions and the history of others brings me happiness.
After some years of working as a project manager in Milano, I decided to take some time for myself to travel to some places of our beautiful world I've always dreamt of. It's my adventurous spirit that brings me to Australia.
Now let me tell you more about my teaching background: since I have two mothertongue languages I am passionate about learning new languages and helping others achieve the same. I am a very patient person and an extremely good communicator and try to make my classes as much enjoyable as possible.
Learning with me is fun! During my classes we do some theory like grammar exercises because it's a must in building a good base, but there is plenty of room for practice as well.
I believe that only by speaking and making conversations you can actually learn and become confident in a language!
Moreover I am very good in math, it's my other passion and the reason I chose to study engineering. If you need help in mathematics let me know.
I have over 7 years experience of tutoring and I have given lessons to students of elementary, middle, high school and university.
My teaching subjects have been Italian, English, math, history, physics, geography and art.
So if you need help also in other subjects do not hesitate to contact me!

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Renzo Diaz — IB Math (AA/AI) and Physics (SL/HL) tutor, online in CET. Teaching IB one-to-one since April 2016. M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano.

Ten years teaching IB Math and Physics one-to-one, every lesson myself, and I publish the results I can prove:
• a final 7 in IB Physics SL (May 2025, from a 3, the first exam session of the new syllabus)
• a final 6 in IB Math AI HL (May 2025, from a 4)
• Grade 7 in both IB Math AI SL exam papers (May 2024, from a 3)

How I teach: bring the question your child keeps getting wrong. I find the first step that isn't reliable — a missing concept, a misread graph, an algebra slip — rebuild the explanation around how your child thinks, then change the question to check the fix holds. Each week starts from what is live at school and last week's wrong answers.

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) — algebra, functions, calculus and proof, Paper 1 without a calculator and, at HL, Paper 3. Applications and Interpretation (AI) — modelling, statistics and the graphic display calculator. AA or AI, SL or HL: I help families decide from the university courses the student is aiming at.

IB Physics, SL and HL, on the current guide: the five themes, Papers 1A, 1B and 2, data-based questions, uncertainties and graphs; at HL, the extensions and the long extended-response questions. My engineering training (M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano) shows in how I teach it: define the system, state the assumptions, then connect the model to the mathematics.

The IA and the Extended Essay: guidance only, within the IB's academic-integrity rules — the student writes every word.

I have worked for 6 years now with kids from international schools who were "hating" maths because the methods used by their IB teachers were too complicated and hard to understand.

I believe that no one is "not mathematical", we just have to find the way to approach the subject together; I have indeed a few teaching methods that can be adapted to a kids' needs, I believe every kid needs a different method to fully understand the subject.

I provide 3 types of lessons that represent 3 phases:
1. THEORY - Understanding the theory behind the exercises, this phase is the shortest since I believe that to fully understand maths you need to exercise.
2. EXERCISES - Doing exercises divided by subject we. just went through in the theory part.
3. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam.

Dividing the process in 3 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

Math can sometimes be tough. You might think you’re not good at it, but you are not the problem. With the right teacher, you can understand it too. You just need to choose properly. With me, you won’t just do exercises — you’ll truly understand them. You’ll develop a logical mind, and after our lessons, you’ll be able to move forward on your own.

Having worked with over 100 students across various international curricula, I provide a high-level, integrated approach to the core STEM subjects: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are tailored to the specific mark schemes and requirements of IGCSE, GCSE, and the IB Diploma (SL/HL).

Mathematics: From IGCSE Extended/Additional Math to IB Math AA/AI (HL & SL). We focus on logic, function analysis, and the critical "investigative" style of exam questions.
Physics: Mastering the laws of physics, from Mechanics and Waves to Electromagnetism and Atomic Physics, with a heavy focus on the mathematical application of formulas.
Chemistry: Bridging the gap between theory and the lab. We cover everything from Atomic Structure and Stoichiometry to Organic Chemistry and Energetics.

Because I teach all three, I help students see the connections, like the math in Physics or the physics in Chemistry, making the entire STEM workload feel more cohesive and less overwhelming.

I provide the clarity needed to handle the high volume of material in these curricula, ensuring easy understanding and perfect preparation for top-tier grades (9s in IGCSE or 7s in IB).

I promote independent progress through practical exercises, methodological advice and regular follow-up.

Before/After the lesson:
To maximize effectiveness, sessions are prepared in advance with the student. This preparation includes creating materials for the lesson, outlining the key moments of the session, and monitoring the student's progress.

During the lesson:
The beginning is dedicated to reviewing previous concepts and verifying prior knowledge. Next, time is devoted to understanding new concepts, which will be tested through appropriate exercises. Finally, the correction of these exercises will allow for an assessment of the student's progress.

Any subject math/physics related if it's taught before college. If I don't quite remember it, I will naturally study it before classes.
For college courses although I naturally know them, I wouldn't feel so comfortable teaching them.
If you have any doubts don't think twice before texting:)

When I interviewed with Optiver, Flow Traders, DRW, Maven Securities and All Options, I prepared seriously. At my desk I could solve the probability questions and the mental maths without much trouble. In the real interview, with someone watching and the clock running, I got nervous and made mistakes I normally wouldn't. Looking back, what I needed wasn't more theory. I needed practice under real conditions, with someone telling me exactly where I went wrong.

That's what these sessions are for.

Each session is a mock interview in the style used by the major market making firms, followed by detailed feedback. We work on:

Mental maths under time pressure
Probability and expected value questions
Market making games: quoting a two-sided market, updating as new information arrives, managing your position
Betting and decision games
Estimation questions
Explaining your reasoning out loud, clearly and calmly
Behavioural questions like "why trading?" and "why this firm?"

How a session works

A short warm-up, then a mock interview at real pace. After that we go through it together: where you lost time, where your reasoning wasn't clear, how you handled pressure, and what to drill before the next session. You leave with a concrete list of things to work on, not just a score.

If you're earlier in your preparation, we can start with the foundations and build up to full mocks.

Who it's for

Students and recent graduates applying for trader and trading internship roles at market making and prop trading firms.
