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 been tutoring IB students for around a year, supporting learners in IB Chemistry and Biology at both SL and HL, as well as IGCSE Chemistry and Biology. Having recently completed the IB myself with strong results, I bring up-to-date insight into the curriculum and exam expectations. I use my firsthand experience to help students understand assessment demands, build confidence and approach exams with clarity and structure.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is centred on practice and application. I believe regular exposure to real exam-style questions is key to success, supported by clear and focused theory. I prioritise helping students apply their knowledge in an exam context, which is essential for IB success. When needed, I slow the pace to thoroughly explain foundational topics, adapting my methods to each student’s learning style and individual pace effectively.

Testimonials

"Very productive communication. Sofi quickly identified my knowledge gaps and the lessons have been truly great!"

IB Chemistry student

"Sofi is an amazing tutor. She is patient, and explains things in a simple way that make sense to you. She puts in a lot of work to make personal notes about the topic you have requested, and provides practice questions which she will then go through with you. Sofi is very flexible with scheduling lessons, and she’s always open to answering questions outside of lessons."

Anah, IB Biology

"Sofi was incredibly helpful. Throughout the lessons she showed dedication to them, providing notes and practice questions, explaining difficult concepts very easily and making them very understandable. Best chemistry tutor I have ever had, as she managed to help me understand topics no one else could explain to me properly."

Rasim, IB Chemistry

"The lessons have been very helpful and productive. She is always very kind, supportive and understanding. I do enjoy learning chemistry with her and improving on different units!"

Romy, IB Chemistry

"Incredibly lovely tutor, provides clear, relevant information using a combination of theory and application of knowledge to exam questions. She also creates incredibly useful notes to look back on outside of lesson time and is very knowledgeable about the subject and exam structure in general."
