Tutoring Experience

With over 15 years of experience, I have specialised in teaching and supporting students in IB Theory of Knowledge. As an IB TOK examiner, I provide targeted feedback that helps students refine their essays and presentations. My students consistently improve their grades, and their progress is a testament to the trust they place in my guidance.

I focus on creating a motivating learning environment that fosters critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. My approach empowers students to engage with knowledge questions confidently and develop skills that extend beyond TOK into other academic and personal pursuits.

Tutoring Approach

I tailor my teaching to IB Theory of Knowledge, leveraging my 15+ years of experience to help students thrive. I guide them in constructing strong TOK essays and presentations while nurturing their ability to explore knowledge questions critically.

I prioritise understanding each student’s unique perspective, building trust and creating an environment where they feel confident to express and explore ideas. By celebrating every milestone, I encourage continuous improvement, ensuring students leave with a profound understanding of TOK and skills for lifelong learning.
