Tutoring Experience

I’m a student at Sciences Po Paris studying Politics and Humanities. I completed IGCSEs and the IB Diploma. Over the past years, I’ve tutored students from middle school to IB across three countries, in classrooms and online one-to-one sessions. These varied contexts sharpened my adaptability: I tailor methods, pacing, and resources to each learner, building skills, confidence, and exam readiness through clear targets and regular feedback, and care.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is structured, personal, and skills-focused. After a brief diagnostic, I set clear targets tied to syllabus and mark schemes, then build weekly plans. I teach close reading, argument structure, and evidence use for essays, and rehearse timing with past papers. Feedback is specific and actionable, with model responses and revision checklists. Having taught across countries, I adapt pace and methods to each learner as needed.

Valeria, IB Student

My daughter has never been as motivated to attend her tutoring sessions and be involved at school than she was when tutored by Josephine.

Ciara, Parent

After going through several tutors, Josephine is the only one who managed to explain the content in a way that got me to understand it. I highly recommend.
