Having marked official IB assessments and trained teachers in the Diploma Programme, he brings a rare combination of classroom expertise, examiner insight, and curriculum leadership to his work with students.

His students have consistently achieved outstanding results, including raising predicted grades to final 6s and 7s, while maintaining a 100% pass rate in Cambridge and IELTS examinations.

Beyond the classroom, Dexter has authored major sections of Kognity’s IB Language & Literature digital textbook and designed IB-aligned resources for Revision Village, two of the most widely used platforms supporting IB students around the world.

Formerly Head of English at Colegio Suizo de México, Dexter has taught and led programmes across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. This global experience allows him to connect with students from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds and adapt his teaching to each learner’s needs.

Known for his structured, supportive, and engaging approach, Dexter specialises in turning complex tasks into clear, practical strategies that students can apply with confidence. His aim is not only to help students achieve exceptional academic results, but also to develop the independence, analytical skills, and self-belief that will serve them far beyond the IB.

Dexter’s tutoring style is structured, supportive and highly practical. He helps students understand exactly what examiners are looking for, then breaks complex assessment tasks into clear, manageable steps. Lessons usually combine close analysis, guided modelling, targeted feedback and independent practice, so students do not just receive answers but learn how to think, write and revise more effectively themselves.Dexter aims to build confidence as well as results. Whether a student is preparing for IB, IGCSE, A-level, IELTS or Cambridge English, he adapts his approach to their level, goals and learning style, helping them develop stronger analytical skills, clearer writing and a more independent approach to study.
