Best IB English Literature tutors in the UAE & online

I'm Grace, an IB graduate with 45 points with over 4 years of teaching experience, studying French and Spanish at the University of Oxford. I achieved 7s in all my subjects (English Literature, Spanish B and French B at higher). I've taught students aged 10-18, and I have a strong knowledge of the IB and MYP programmes for languages and literature. I like to focus my teaching on global issues, associating studies with a real world context, and finding interesting points of engagement with the subject matter through culture, history, art and music. I'm a friendly face and an expert mentor in all things exam related: I also have expertise in teaching students with learning difficulties. In my sessions, I aim to build student confidence, empower students with their growing knowledge and help them to adopt the resilient attitude you need to conquer the IB! Outside of tutoring I love ballet, swimming, playing guitar and acting.

I’m Julia, an IB graduate with 45 points and an English Literature graduate from Durham University. I achieved 7s in all my subjects and an A in my Extended Essay, and I have been tutoring consistently in Maths HL/SL, English Literature HL, and Biology HL for the past 3 years since I graduated from the IB. My approach as a tutor is to cater my lessons to the student's needs - I like to find the core issues they are struggling with and focus on conceptual understanding, breaking down complex topics, and constructing exam strategies which suit the student's strengths. Beyond teaching, I find it important that my students enjoy learning and feel confident in their skills, so I am a very supportive and encouraging tutor for students finding difficulty managing their time and workload during the course - including giving my own tips from someone who experienced the same thing. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing sports such as volleyball and tennis, I am a big reader, and I am aspiring towards a career in journalism!

I'm Susi, an IB English teacher and examiner currently working at an international school in Spain. I have a joint degree in English and Psychology and I have been teaching and tutoring students for the last 17 years. I help students master challenging material by breaking it into clear, practical steps and guiding them toward strategies that lead to real exam success. I also provide a wealth of study materials, insights, and proven techniques to ensure they feel fully prepared. I offer clever tricks, and exam tips to help students perform their best. I see tutoring as more than just teaching- it’s about mentoring and building confidence. When I’m not tutoring or teaching, you’ll usually find me with a good book, planning my next road trip, watching a movie or football, out walking somewhere or catching up with friends. \

I'm Fatima, an English & ToK tutor with a postgraduate qualification in literature & linguistics. I've been teaching English for around 6 years, currently teaching English & ToK at an international school. My classes are designed keeping individual students’ needs in mind. I attempt to empower the student with an independent ability to form meaningful interpretation and analysis skills through pointed prompts and questions. We will deconstruct literary and multimodal texts together to inform the student’s interpretation and analysis abilities. My exam classes involve a stepwise breakdown of literary concepts to make them easy to follow with examples. I provide scaffolded templates for writing essays that break off the paralysis of being confronted with a blank page, and provide targeted support for each paragraph to ensure the writing is analytical, organized, and coherent while fulfilling all criteria. I am a literature & media aficionado who aspires to inculcate a love for literature in her students. These days I’m obsessed with exploring the oeuvre of Wes Anderson. In my free time, you can find me experimenting with cooking & crafts, and trying out a dozen small creative and community building projects. I am also fluent in Urdu and Pashto.

I completed the IB myself in 2015 and went on to earn a Biology degree from Durham University, one of the UK’s leading institutions. Since graduating in 2018, I’ve built a career in the conservation and ecology sector, where I’ve published scientific literature and funding proposals.

I'm Kirsty and I am teacher of English Language and Literature and English Literature at MYP and DP. I've been teaching for 20 years, the past 10 of which have been in IB programmes. I'm also an examiner for English A and have worked with students from a range of backgrounds and abilities. I studied BA English at the University of Hull and qualified as a teacher through the Graduate Teacher Programme. I spent 9 years working in UK schools before I moved into international education. Whilst teaching, I completed my MA in International Education through distance learning with the University of Bath. I take an individual approach to tutoring, focusing on the student's interests, abilities and needs alongside the requirements of the course to ensure engagement and progress. It is important to develop the skills for studying alongside the content knowledge and so these skills are embedded in my sessions. I have also worked as DP Coordinator for 5 years, which has given me a deeper holistic understanding of the Diploma Programme and how English fits within it. Outside of teaching, I live reading, travelling and baking.
