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

With over five years of tutoring experience, I’ve worked extensively with students preparing for IB English. My expertise lies in literary analysis, textual commentary, and refining essay-writing skills across the IB curriculum. I’ve supported students from diverse educational levels, including GCSE, A-Level, and university applicants, focusing on helping them master IB-specific requirements, such as Paper 1 analysis and Internal Assessments.

I’ve also provided tailored guidance for Oxbridge English applications, supporting students in personal statements, interviews, and entrance tests. My experience extends to both individual and group sessions, accommodating up to 10 students in engaging and interactive learning environments, online or in-person.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is centred on the unique requirements of IB English. I assess each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style to craft personalised lessons that build analytical and critical thinking skills. I provide targeted support for IB-specific components, such as the Individual Oral and Extended Essay, while offering regular feedback to ensure continuous improvement.

Lessons are meticulously planned, well-structured, and tailored to the IB syllabus, fostering an organised and engaging learning atmosphere. By aligning my teaching methods with each student’s aspirations, I empower them to excel in their coursework and confidently tackle exams.

Andy, GCSE student

"I struggle a lot getting to grips with new material, however, Riya immediately made me feel comfortable and supported. We had a discussion about my goals and the best way to achieve them. Not only did Riya help me understand the material, but she also planned lessons specifically according to these goals"
