Best IB English A tutors in the Netherlands & online

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 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 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 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.
