Best IB English A tutors in the UAE & online

I'm Alice, an IB graduate with 45 points who has just graduated with a first-class degree in History from Durham University. I am currently doing a Masters in Law in London as part of my training to become a solicitor in the UK. I achieved 7s in all of my IB subjects and have been tutoring IB students for nearly 5 years. My tutoring style focuses on adapting to my tutee's individual learning styles, and making my sessions interactive and fun to help students really grasp the fundamentals of the IB programme. I can really relate to the challenges of the IB, so I love to work with students to build their confidence in their subject areas, by focusing on strengthening their exam answers and Internal Assessment work. Outside of tutoring, I love cooking and baking and I also compete for a field hockey team in London. I also have two black cats!

I’m Tahmina, an experienced IB teacher and IB Examiner specializing in English A, English B, Russian A, and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). I hold a Master’s degree in Educational Management from ADA University and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from the Azerbaijan University of Languages. For over seven years, I have been teaching at Khazar University Dunya IB School, where I work with MYP and DP students as a Language A/B and TOK teacher, Extended Essay supervisor, and ATL Coordinator. My certifications include IB training in Language and Literature, English B, TOK, ATL skills, and Extended Essay supervision. Alongside my school experience, I have taught Russian A, as well as SAT and IELTS preparation, and coordinated international academic competitions. My tutoring style is structured yet supportive: I focus on helping students break down complex ideas, refine their critical thinking, and build strong exam strategies. As an IB Examiner, I know exactly what examiners are looking for and guide my students to meet and exceed those expectations. I see myself not only as a tutor but also as a mentor who helps students grow in confidence and independence. Outside the classroom, I enjoy literature, exploring global education trends, and speaking four languages: Azerbaijani, English, Turkish, and Russian.

I am Laura and I am an English A and TOK teacher. I am also my school's IB Coordinator as well as an IB examiner, so have a lot of experience in the world of IB! I have worked in schools in the UK, Europe, South American and North America. I have over a decade's experience teaching English A (Language and Literature, Literature, and Literature and Performance courses) and have taught and tutored many students who have achieved the highest grades at SL and HL. In my tutoring, I have a wealth of resources to break down the skills required for exams and IAs and to build confidence in analysing and evaluating effective examples for both exam papers; making sure the foundations are strong to develop individual analysis is something I do in all lessons I teach. I have years of experience working with students with accommodations and have a range of resources to help those who need more explicit examples and chunking of tasks. Being an examiner, I also have many years of past questions and papers to help with final preparations as well. I am happy to support at any stage of the IB process and give you confidence boosts in your own work when needed! Outside of tutoring, I do a lot of reading, exercising and walking my dog. I am also trying to keep up my own language learning of Portuguese and Italian.

As a prior IB Coordinator, I am also highly experienced with IB regulations. I am an expert in English A courses as well as ToK and the Extended Essay. For decades, I have served as an examiner for both papers as well as the internal assessments in Literature and Language and Literature. I specialize in critical analysis and development of writing skills.

My name is Matilde. I completed the IB in 2021 with a score of 45 before coming up to the University of Cambridge, where I read Human, Social and Political Sciences and graduated at the top of my cohort. I am currently completing an MPhil in Social Anthropology at Cambridge, and will be progressing to a PhD in October. I have now been tutoring IB students for over three years. Alongside this, I have worked as an editor for the Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs and with a number of student-focused non-profits. As a result, I have a lot of good experience helping students improve their performance around exams! My approach to tutoring is deliberately flexible, as I recognise that each student brings their own strengths and ways of learning. That said, I do try to incorporate elements of the Oxbridge tutorial style, which I think lends itself particularly well to one-to-one teaching: encouraging students to engage critically with material and develop confidence in their own analytical voice.

I'm Mike, and I have been working in IB schools for more than 10 years, teaching MYP and DP English Language and Literature, English B, and Theory of Knowledge, and have taken on the leadership roles of Diploma Coordinator, Extended Essay Coordinator, TOK Coordinator, and Head of English. I have five years of experience as an IBDP English examiner, marking the Individual Oral and Paper 2, and have been an English and TOK tutor since 2020. In terms of my tutoring approach, I am very much focused on helping students with whatever they need help with, and in whatever way they need help. That's why my first two questions for my students are always some variation on: "What do you want to work on, and how do you want to work on it?" And if a student doesn't know how to answer those questions, I have plenty of suggestions that will help you find the answer. Outside of tutoring, I love reading, watching sports, and spending time with my family.
