Tutoring Experience
Since beginning my teaching career in 2004, I've had the privilege of working with diverse students in various settings. I started as an ESL teacher in South Korea and the Czech Republic, and in 2006, I settled in Szczecin, Poland, where I transitioned to international schools and eventually into the IB Diploma Programme. Alongside my work in schools, I have regularly tutored students privately in English as a Second Language. Additionally, as a school-appointed tutor, I guide students in the IB School-Supported Self-Taught (SSST) Language A: Literature course, supporting them through a challenging yet rewarding curriculum. My teaching philosophy is centered on openness: every student presents a chance to learn and adapt, bringing a unique perspective to each lesson.
Tutoring Approach
I start with a thorough assessment of each student's current skill level to understand their strengths and areas that may need extra attention. I create a structured and controlled environment, which allows students to approach learning with confidence and focus. From here, I regularly evaluate their progress by providing tasks that closely mirror the format and demands of their upcoming exams, such as practice questions or timed assessments. This approach not only helps to solidify their understanding but also prepares them for the pace and pressure of real exam conditions.
During lessons, I aim to foster a dynamic, engaging experience by minimizing lectures and actively involving the student in the learning process. I believe that the best learning happens when students take an active role, so I encourage them to think critically, ask questions, and explore concepts independently. Rather than simply providing answers, I guide students to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills, making each session a collaborative journey. This interactive approach keeps lessons stimulating and ensures that students are truly absorbing and applying the material, building their confidence and autonomy as they progress.
Testimonials
I can't recommend Jason enough as a tutor. He has a fantastic, deep knowledge and understanding of material which allows him to explain even difficult subjects in a way that anyone can understand. He is friendly and patient, and he never made me feel uncomfortable or pressured, whilst at the same time making the lessons interesting and even captivating. Thanks to his guidance, my confidence and grades in English improved considerably. Jason truly cares about helping you succeed and wants all his students to achieve.
