Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I began teaching A Level and GCSE English at a Sixth Form College, where I also served as English Curriculum Leader. I later spent six years teaching in a UK secondary school, focusing on A Level English as Assistant Head of Department. For nine years, I taught IBDP English, IGCSE, and KS3 English at a leading international school in Vietnam. Additionally, I am experienced in teaching IB Core components, including Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay.

Tutoring Approach

My approach centres on tailoring tuition to the specific demands of IB English, focusing on the development of analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills essential for success in the IB Diploma. I design personalised sessions to address each student's unique challenges, whether tackling literary analysis, refining Internal Assessments, or preparing for Paper 1 and Paper 2 exams. By fostering confidence and clarity, I aim to help students excel in their academic journey.

Testimonials

I could not have been more grateful to have met Anita. Her teaching style is a perfect blend of passionate and nurturing. I feel myself come out of every session as an improved student and a little more confident in my skills. She grasps my areas of improvement immediately and guides me through on how to work on them. Could not have done this without her. Truly blessed to have her as my tutor.
