Tutoring Experience

Over the past eight years, I've tutored a multitude of students in both IB and IGCSE English. I started my journey in a leading Bahrain school where I helped students navigate the challenging IGCSE English curriculum, witnessing their grades improve significantly. After moving to online tutoring in 2020, I've continued to guide students worldwide, raising their understanding and appreciation for English. Many of my students have exceeded their predicted grades, with several being admitted to prestigious universities. During my Master's, I also volunteered at a local community centre in Berkeley, helping adult learners enhance their English skills.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is rooted in building a connection between the text and the student, making English a vibrant, living subject. I focus on cultivating independent thinking, encouraging students to express their unique interpretations. I value dialogue and encourage questions to foster an engaging learning environment. I adapt my methods to each student’s learning style, providing personalized guidance.
