Tutoring Experience

With 7 years of experience teaching and tutoring IB students, I have worked in leading international schools across Europe, particularly in Germany and Switzerland. My academic background in History and Cultural Studies, paired with an MA in International Education, has equipped me with a deep understanding of the IB curriculum. Over my career, I have successfully mentored over 100 students through their IB Extended Essays, with many achieving top grades. My experience also includes teaching IB History and TOK, where I strive to make historical events and complex theories accessible and engaging.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is centered on fostering intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. I believe in making education an engaging and transformative experience. In my sessions, I encourage students to question, analyze, and connect ideas across different subjects, particularly in TOK and History. By tailoring my lessons to each student’s unique learning style, I ensure they not only grasp the material but also enjoy the discovery process. My goal is to guide students toward producing Extended Essays that reflect both depth of knowledge and originality.
