A person checks every match.

Tell Michi your subject and goals, or book a free 15-minute intro call. The Michi team reviews the fit by hand, looking at your goals, IB subject, language, availability, and the tutor's track record, then matches you with a tutor. Your matched lesson is booked for you and appears in your dashboard. If the first fit isn't right, the re-match is free.

Ai Amy Ishikawa

I love helping students see subjects from new perspectives. My lessons are tailored to each learner, encouraging curiosity, independent thinking, and the confidence to go beyond what's expected.

Profile checkedTutor-reviewed IB report workflow

Interactive and student-centred, with an emphasis on asking questions, exploring ideas, and building confidence.

Teaching philosophy: I believe education should inspire curiosity, encourage independent thought, and give students the confidence to explore ideas beyond the syllabus.

Chikashi Nakano

Hello! I'm Chikashi Nakano from Japan and currently a student at Stanford University. I recently graduated from an international school with a perfect 45/45 IB score. Having lived in Vietnam for 9 years, Kenya for 4 years, and Japan, I enjoy working with students from diverse backgrounds. With previous tutoring experience, I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

Profile checkedTutor-reviewed IB report workflow

My teaching is practical and exam-focused. I use past paper questions to build problem-solving skills, confidence, and exam technique.

Teaching philosophy: I believe in working smarter, not harder. By focusing on efficient strategies and understanding concepts, students can achieve better results with less stress.

Pricing

Simple pricing: the tutor's rate plus the subject.

Each lesson price is the tutor's base rate plus a subject premium that reflects how scarce and high-stakes a subject is, not prestige. The estimate you see while booking uses the same formula.

Lesson price = tutor base rate + subject premium

Public tutors start at University Tutor and above. Bookings are 1:1 only, 90 minutes standard, with 60 minutes on request. Prep and the session summary are included, and EE/IA/TOK intensive support replaces the normal subject premium rather than stacking on top.
