The main subjects I have experience tutoring in are: IB English Literature, IB English Language and Literature,Theory of Knowledge, IB Philosophy, IB Theatre, IB Art, IB Environmental Systems, and Personal Statements for University Application. In my experience tutoring, I’ve worked with over 70 students and I’ve been fortunate enough to see their final overall scores surpass their predicted scores by an average of 5 total points on the IB 24-40 point scale. I’ve also had the joy of building personal relationships with these students and have really appreciated not only getting to watch them grow in ability, but also in confidence as we work together. My primary focus as an IB tutor is supplying my students with the necessary skills to develop their ideas and arguments with regards to their internal assessments, and to aid them in preparing for their exams. When it comes to working on their internal assessments, we focus on strengthening weak points within their arguments and establishing a thorough structure that makes sense to the student, so that in any circumstance they feel that they have a firm grasp on the subject they are exploring. In regards to preparing them for their examinations, we focus on slow-burn study-prep. Which includes: essay structure, how to approach a text, various methodologies involved in the syllabus, and practice papers that we dissect as a duo to keep the students as involved in the learning process as possible and ensure that as they finish their experience with the IB, they retain the knowledge and skills they have learned long after their examinations are over. In the case of Personal Statements, I focus on aiding the students in establishing a written piece which accurately encompasses who they are, while also placing them in the best light possible. We focus on effectively communicating their course choices, extracurriculars, interests in the program they are applying for, and why they would be the perfect applicant for the University’s consideration. As a tutor, I believe it is my job to not only teach my students their subjects and the skills to approach their coursework, but also give them a safe space to make mistakes and learn. I aim to establish an environment where students feel comfortable asking me questions, knowing that I won't make them feel silly for needing help and will instead support them on their journey to becoming more confident in their studies.
