Hi, I’m Tayla. I’m a qualified IB English Language & Literature teacher (DP1 and DP2) and an IB examiner. I’ve been teaching since 2015 and tutoring since my university days in 2011, when I completed my English degree and later PGCE. I work with IB English A Literature and Lang & Lit SL and HL students worldwide, with a particular focus on the IO, Paper 1, Paper 2 and the HL essay.

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’ve tutored for 15 years, including a decade in the classroom teaching IB English Language & Literature. I’ve led the subject within my school, mentored new IB teachers and supervised Extended Essays in English for five years. Since 2021, I’ve worked as an IB examiner and moderator, marking Internal Orals and written papers across multiple global exam sessions. I specialise in preparing students for the IO, Paper 1, Paper 2 and the HL essay, with detailed guidance grounded in current mark schemes.
Tutoring Approach
My sessions are structured but relaxed. We look closely at assessment criteria and unpack what examiners actually reward, then practise applying that to your own writing and speaking under realistic timed conditions. I’ll challenge your interpretations, help you refine your line of inquiry and make sure your analysis is precise rather than descriptive. I also bring a counselling background to my teaching, so lessons feel supportive and calm while still academically rigorous.
