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 have six years of experience tutoring IGCSE and IB English Language and Literature, alongside French. I focus on essay structure, literary analysis, and mastering assessment criteria for these subjects. As a quadrilingual educator, I connect with diverse learners and adapt my teaching to their unique needs. My academic background and fluency in French make me particularly adept at improving language proficiency and confidence.

Tutoring Approach

I begin by identifying each student’s strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring they understand key criteria for success in English and French assessments. My sessions are interactive and dynamic, focusing on essay planning, literary analysis, and conversational fluency. I use my own study guides, sold on Classtify, alongside past papers from ibdocs to reinforce exam techniques and boost confidence. Progress is tracked with tailored objectives, and lessons remain engaging through a question-and-answer format.
