I’ve taught IB English for nine years, mostly with students who are strong readers but unsure how to turn ideas into exam answers. I spend a lot of time on Paper 1 annotation, global issues for the Individual Oral, and cleaner essay structure. I’m fairly direct in lessons: we read the text closely, test the argument, then rewrite until the wording actually says what the student means. I also mark short timed responses between lessons.

Hi, I’m an IB English tutor who works mainly with students who find the subject a bit vague at first. My lessons usually start with a passage, a few messy ideas, and then we shape those into a proper response. I like teaching poetry and unseen prose because students can make quick progress once they know what examiners are looking for. I also help with IO scripts, especially keeping them natural rather than over-rehearsed.

I have a background in English literature and have supported IB English students with HL essays, Paper 2 planning, and Individual Oral preparation. I tend to focus on the student’s own wording rather than giving them a model answer to copy. A typical session involves close reading, argument checking, and editing one paragraph properly before moving on. I’m particular about quotations, context, and clean topic sentences.

I started tutoring IB English while doing my master’s, mostly helping classmates’ younger siblings with Literature essays and IO scripts. These days I work with students who need sharper analysis but do not want lessons to feel like school again. I’m especially good with drama texts, comparative paragraphs, and cutting out the vague bits that weaken otherwise decent essays. I keep feedback frank but not harsh.

I teach IB English with a fairly structured approach, useful for students aiming for 6s and 7s but unsure how to show depth in writing. I work through past papers, examiner comments, and the student’s own drafts. My main areas are Paper 1 technique, HL essay refinement, and building stronger links between authorial choices and meaning. I usually set small writing tasks, not long homework for the sake of it.

I’m a calm, practical IB English tutor and I like lessons to feel focused rather than overloaded. I’ve helped students with everything from their first IO outline to last-minute Paper 2 practice. I often use short extracts from novels, speeches, or poems, then ask students to build a real argument from details instead of memorising stock phrases. Students who dislike English usually respond well to this style.
