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

With decades of in-classroom and tutoring experience, I’ve successfully guided students from international schools studying IB, IGCSE, MYP, and AP English. My lessons focus on essay structure, interpretation, and exam technique, built on many years of experience teaching across diverse cultures worldwide. I help students reach academic goals, develop their critical thinking skills, and gain lasting confidence in English language and literature.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is centered on students and their individual learning needs. I believe genuine progress grows from trust, support, and clear communication. I create engaging, interactive lessons that encourage participation and reward effort and improvement. Using positive reinforcement and accessible, well-structured resources, I guide students to think critically, express ideas effectively, and reach their full potential confidently.
