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

Over the past 6 years, I have accumulated over 1,000 hours of tutoring experience, helping students grapple with and excel in International Baccalaureate English. I have facilitated the understanding of complex literature, honed essay writing skills, and provided support for coursework, consistently contributing to the improvement of students' grades.

My feedback is always constructive and encouraging, fostering a positive learning environment. I've taught in different settings, from academic summer camps in the United States to exchange programs in the United Kingdom, which has honed my adaptability and understanding of diverse learning needs. Additionally, I've held workshops on essay writing and public speaking, underlining my dedication to nurturing comprehensive language skills.

Tutoring Approach

In my teaching approach, I prioritize understanding the individual needs and existing knowledge of my students. For examination preparation, we dissect texts together, engaging in a profound literary analysis. I guide students through past paper questions, focusing on developing solid essay structures and critical thinking skills.

My lessons often result in resources the students can employ during exams. When working on assignments, we brainstorm ideas, focus on creating strong arguments, and ensure academic writing is polished and coherent. I believe in nurturing a holistic understanding of English Literature, drawing connections between texts, historical contexts, and modern interpretations.
