I teach IB English Language and Literature, with a lot of my lessons centred on Paper 1 technique, global issues and making the IO feel less vague. I have six years’ tutoring experience and previously worked with bilingual students who found literary terminology intimidating. My lessons are calm but fairly direct: we read closely, plan answers together, then practise until the student can explain their choices clearly.

Hi, I’m an IB English tutor and I’m probably happiest with poetry, speeches and slightly difficult novels. I’ve tutored students through HL and SL for four years, mostly online, and I like lessons to feel like a proper conversation rather than a lecture. For essays, I focus on getting the argument right first, then tightening topic sentences, evidence and analysis so the writing sounds like the student, just sharper.

I specialise in IB English Literature and have supported students with unseen commentary, essay planning and the Individual Oral. Before tutoring full time, I taught English in an international school setting, so I am used to students who are strong readers but unsure how to turn ideas into marks. I keep lessons text-led: we annotate carefully, compare possible interpretations, then build responses that match IB assessment language.

I’ve been tutoring IB English since my MA, and I still enjoy the odd details: why a narrator feels unreliable, how a single image can carry a whole paragraph, or where a Paper 2 comparison starts to drift. I work with students who want clearer structure without losing their own voice. Lessons usually involve live planning, short writing drills and honest feedback on what is actually earning marks.

My background is in English philology and teacher training, and I now tutor IB English Language and Literature alongside classroom work. I help students who are juggling busy IB timetables and need practical support with Paper 1, HL Essay planning and IO extracts. I am organised and quite precise in lessons, but not stiff; students are encouraged to challenge readings and defend their interpretation with evidence.

I tutor IB English Literature with a focus on drama, modern prose and close reading. I started tutoring younger students during university, then moved into IB support after working with international school pupils on coursework drafts. My style is friendly but detailed. We might spend twenty minutes on one paragraph if that is what helps the student see how tone, form and context are working together.
