Evan Kotronis | Physics and Maths Specialist

My name is Evan Kotronis and I work with IB students ONLINE AND WORLDWIDE to maximise their performance by teaching not only the subject, but how examiners award marks. 

As an active and official IB examiner, I help students avoid the common mistakes that cost marks and develop the precision required for top grades (6–7).

With over 20 years of experience in international education, I have taught at leading institutions including Athens College, Qatar Foundation and Tashkent International School. I specialise in IB Physics, supporting students across MYP, DP, IGCSE and A-Level.

As an active IB examiner, with additional examining experience in OCR, I bring a deep understanding of how top marks are awarded across leading international examination systems.

My experience as an examiner allows me to guide students with clarity, structure, and strategy — ensuring that their work aligns with official mark schemes and examiner expectations.
