Vetted Tutor

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

I have over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring students at secondary and pre-university levels, with a focus on English Language and Literature and exam preparation for IB (English A and B), IGCSE, and Cambridge assessments. My tutoring experience includes designing tailored learning plans that emphasize skill development, critical thinking, and academic confidence, as well as guiding students through Extended Essays and offering targeted support for both internal and external assessments. I take a student-centered approach, ensuring lessons are engaging, personalized, and foster autonomy, helping learners not only succeed academically but also develop a lasting connection to their studies.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is student-centered, adaptive, and supportive, designed to meet the unique needs and goals of each learner. I focus on identifying individual strengths and areas for growth, using a blend of guided practice, active questioning, and scaffolded feedback to ensure steady progress. By incorporating real-world examples and exam-style tasks, I help students develop both confidence and competence in their subject areas. Above all, I foster a safe and respectful learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, take risks, and grow into independent, self-assured learners.
