I am an IB tutor with a strong background in both the academic and practical aspects of the International Baccalaureate program. I hold a degree in Management Information Systems, an MBA with a specialization in Project Management, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Information Systems Management. I studied English Literature and History at the Higher Level (HL) during my own IB journey, achieving top marks that reflect my deep understanding of these subjects.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have helped students navigate the complexities of the IB curriculum, including preparing them for their Internal Assessments (IA), Extended Essays (EE), and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). I specialize in English Literature, History, and the full range of IB subjects, and I take pride in guiding students through the unique requirements of each component. I’ve helped many students improve their grades by teaching them not only the subject matter but also essential skills like critical thinking, essay writing, and time management.

My approach is personalized—I tailor my lessons to fit the specific needs and learning styles of each student. I focus on building confidence and ensuring that every student not only understands the material but also enjoys the learning process.
