Tutoring Experience

Over the past five years, I’ve guided numerous IB students through the intricate and fascinating world of Theory of Knowledge. My journey into tutoring began shortly after my graduation, where I started by assisting friends and classmates with their TOK essays and presentations. As word of my effective tutoring methods spread, I soon began receiving requests from students across Europe. My tutoring experience ranges from helping high-achieving students aiming for top marks to supporting those who find TOK challenging. I have honed a particular ability to simplify complex philosophical concepts, making them accessible and engaging for all learners. My approach goes beyond mere exam preparation; it’s about fostering a genuine interest in the subject and equipping students with the critical thinking skills they’ll need for university and beyond. Whether it’s structuring an essay, exploring ethical dilemmas, or preparing for the TOK exhibition, I tailor each session to the student’s individual needs and learning style, ensuring they’re fully prepared to excel.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is student-centered, focusing on each individual’s unique perspective and experiences. TOK is all about exploring knowledge questions from various angles, and I encourage my students to bring their own ideas and insights to our sessions. I start by identifying their strengths and areas for improvement, then create a personalized learning plan that builds on their existing knowledge while challenging them to think more critically. I believe in the power of discussion and debate, so my sessions often involve lively exchanges of ideas where students are encouraged to question assumptions and consider alternative viewpoints. Clear and coherent writing is also a key focus, essential for success in TOK essays and presentations. My ultimate goal is to not only help students achieve their academic targets but also to inspire a lifelong love of learning and critical inquiry.
