Private IB Tutoring From Professional IB Teachers

I, Carlos G, hold a degree of Teacher of Foreign Languages from the University of Castilla - La Mancha, Spain. I have taught Spanish A and B in the PYP and MYP, English Communications in the MYP and Spanish Ab Initio in the DP at the International School of London for seventeen years, where my IBDP students have consistently achieved marks of 5 and above. As I have taught in all three programmes Spanish B, I know exactly how to scaffold my students' learning and how to push them to be the best prepared for their next steps.

With over 15 years of expert tutoring experience across IB, IGCSE, SAT, and ACT curricula, I specialize in guiding students through the complexities of Math and Physics. Having worked within the IB world since 2009 and serving as an active IB Physics Examiner, I provide an insider’s perspective on mastering assessment criteria. My students consistently achieve excellence, maintaining average scores between 6 and 7 in both IB Physics and Mathematics. This proven track record, combined with a deep understanding of MYP and IP pathways, ensures every learner is equipped to reach their highest academic goals.

Cheryl is a highly qualified Biologist. She holds a First Class Honours degree in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Sheffield and a PhD (focusing on the oxytocin receptor in the male reproductive tract) from the University of Bristol.

For the last 26 years, Cheryl has taught in independent schools around the globe (including the UK, NZ and Egypt). She has taught Biology at the following levels: GCSE, A level, IB MYP and IB DP as well as NCEA courses in Biology. She has also taught Chemistry and Science and Environmental Systems and Societies. Keeping up to date with the courses through professional development, Cheryl's understanding of the mentioned courses is current.

Cheryl's students have consistently achieved grades greater than their CEM data predictions. This means that Cheryl always adds 'value' to the achievement of her students. She is particularly adept at advising on the Internal Assessment element of the Biology IB course and can provide feedback or mark the entire IA to give an insight into what grade you might achieve. Cheryl is proud of the fact that the the grades she awarded her students throughout her career matched with those of the IB examiners: her marking was consistently 'consistent' with them. This is no mean feat!

Cheryl also likes to aid students with study and revision skills. She has a Master's degree in Education and Psychology from the University of Cambridge. Her thesis investigated the impact of graphic organisers on metacognition and learning.

Cheryl has been described as approachable and good humored and builds working relationships easily. She uses a constructivist approach in her teaching which means that her students are not passive but active learners.

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.

Claire’s teaching experience spans 35 years, initially as an English and Drama teacher and from 2008 onwards as an IB Psychology teacher and personal tutor. Claire has taught GCSE and A Level Psychology as well as leading and teaching IB Psychology to international students. She also has a lot of experience as a personal tutor and as a supervisor and marker for the extended essay, as well as a great deal of experience as an IB examiner.

Claire works freelance as a resource writer and online tutor teaching groups and individual students from across the globe e.g., Vietnam, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China. She has co-authored two full-length IB Psychology textbooks (the ‘Psychology Sorted’ series) and topic IB textbooks for tutor2u on Relationship Psychology and Developmental Psychology plus student revision guides for all topics as well as having written countless Factsheets on a range of psychology topics for Curriculum Press. Claire particularly enjoyed running workshops for international teachers as part of the IB Conference in Barcelona.

Claire’s lessons are tailor-made to suit each student: they consist of lots of fast-paced activities, quizzes and games all designed to embrace the full range of learning styles, as well as in-depth exam work, unpacking questions and working on embedding critical thinking into exam answers.

Claire is a keen amateur figure skater: when she’s not teaching she is to be found in the middle of a freezing cold ice rink trying to perfect the toe loop jump and other terrifying skating elements!

Claire still loves teaching (even after all these years) and is very much looing forward to meeting you and contributing to your journey through the wonderful world of Psychology.

Constantin studied at Southbank International School in London from Grade 6 to Grade 12, completing both the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme. He achieved an IB score of 43 points, including a 7 in HL History and a 7 in Mathematics Applications and Interpretation SL, as well as an almost perfect score on his Extended Essay. He is currently pursuing a degree in Composition at the Royal College of Music, and his compositions have been performed across the UK. Since finishing IB, Constantin has privately tutored 10 students, both in DP1 and DP2, in Mathematics and History. His teaching philosophy centres on fostering genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for each subject. Rather than focusing solely on covering large amounts of material, he prioritises developing a deep conceptual understanding and effective independent revision skills, as well as equipping students with the tools needed for long-term success in the Diploma Programme.
