About Chikae


Bio

I have over 10 years of experience teaching HS math courses in the classroom, from Algebra 1 to IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches HL. I have taught in public high schools in the US as well as in an international school in China.

In particular, I have over 9 years of experience teaching and tutoring IB math courses. I can support students taking Analysis and Approaches HL & SL (AAHL and AASL) and Applications & Interpretations SL (AI SL).

I have over 10 years of experience teaching HS math courses in the classroom, from Algebra 1 to IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches HL. I have taught in public high schools in the US as well as in an international school in China.

** Please note that in accordance with the IB guidelines, I will not be able to support students with any part of their IA report process. I can help clarify requirements, but all of the work for IA's need to be done by the student, with approved and appropriate support from their direct teacher. This includes brainstorming topics, checking math calculations, and editing/critiquing the essay.**

I enjoy working with all sorts of students – from the students who are struggling in their classes to students who may be looking for more ways to challenge themselves! I want you to leave our time together not only feeling comfortable with what we covered but also feeling confident that you can attempt new problems on your own. Please note that I primarily work with students who can commit to regular (weekly) lessons – I can better support your academic growth if I am working with you regularly.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you in your math learning journey!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught either Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 (including the honors classes) every year for the last 13 years. I can help strengthen and extend any skills you may be having a hard time with. A solid algebraic foundation is the key to success for future classes!
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have taught either Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 (including the honors classes) every year for the last 13 years. I can help strengthen and extend any skills you may be having a hard time with. A solid algebraic foundation is the key to success for future classes!
Calculus

Calculus

I have taught regular Calculus as well as IB Math Analysis & Approaches HL, which involves a lot of Calculus topics. If you are struggling with Calculus, it is likely that you are having trouble with your algebraic foundation, so we will make sure to work on that as well.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I am a HS teacher with 10+ Years of Teaching Experience, but I also have an elementary age child and am very aware of what is covered in elementary schools. In addition, I can see the connection between the skills they are learning in ES with the skills they will need in HS.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

A solid algebraic foundation is the key to success for future classes! Prealgebra courses may be courses taken in a sequence before a regular algebra course or a supporting course taken concurrently with a regular Algebra course. I have taught both types of courses and can adjust as necessary to support your math learning journey.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Precalculus may seem like it is significantly harder than your previous algebra courses, but it is just an opportunity to synthesize all of your prior knowledge. Since I have taught Algebra 1 & 2 every year for the last 13 years, I can help strengthen any gaps in algebraic foundations that may be holding you back. I also teach Calculus, so I can help connect your understanding to future topics.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have taught all levels of mathematics from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, so I can support with any depth of trigonometric topics that you may be struggling with. I can help walk you through proving trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations, and graphing trigonometric functions. I can also help you with solving trigonometric application questions.

Outstanding Math Tutor

Chikae, thank you for your dedicated support of Nicholas over the past three years. Your structured approach, from setting clear plans and assigning targeted homework to providing extra resources and detailed feedback, made a real difference in his progress. You helped him navigate the IB Diploma math curriculum with confidence, discipline, and ultimately secure top grades. We especially appreciated your emphasis on consistent practice, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning. Your commitment and reliability have been invaluable, and we would confidently recommend you to any family seeking a results-driven, knowledgeable, and highly supportive math tutor.

Excellent tutor

Chikae did a great job of making my son feel comfortable and breaking down the material for him in a way he could understand. She checked in with me multiple times before their session to be sure she knew what my son needed help with. I highly recommend and would use her again.

Amazing Tutor!

Chikae tutored me for 2 years in IB MAA HL and she was my savior! She is great at simplifying challenging concepts and working through problems in a way that makes sense. She uses so many types of problems to help you understand topics. Thanks to her I was able to pull through with a good grade and confidence on my IB exam! I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!

What a gem!

Chikae started tutoring my daughter she suffered a severe concussion. It took a year for her to recover and Chikae was an essential partner in helping my then junior now senior navigate this challenge. I cannot imagine a better IB math tutor. Thank you Chikae!!

excellent at transferring knowledge

Chikae is a gifted teacher, She understands math on a very deep level and knows how to approach the subject matter in such a way that is simple to understand for her students. She is an IB rockstar! My daughter currently has an A+ in her IB HL 1 class and this has a lot to do with working with Chikae.

knowledgeable and patient tutor

Chikae is a great tutor! She prepared well in advance for our first lesson. She assessed my daughter's current level and plans accordingly to reinforce the weak areas of her math. Chikae is experienced, knowledgeable and patient. My daughter is looking forward to the next lesson.
