Best IB English Literature tutors in the Netherlands & online

I'm Fiona, an experienced IB teacher / tutor / examiner with over 25 years working in prestigious international schools in South America and Spain. Following this I have spent 8 years supporting students through online tutoring; I am proud of my students' achievements, consistently gaining above the world average despite usually not being native speakers and/or with little previous interest in Literature. I most enjoy working with students who are preparing for exams or assessments; my aim is to take away the fear factor and share my knowledge gained through teaching and examining to help students achieve high. I have confidence in applying the assessment criteria and will give appropriate feedback and tips. As a life-long educator and parent of two successful IB and university graduates I am well aware of the challenges faced by students so I will also provide empathy along with the academic support! Outside tutoring my interests include reading, watching films, theatre and sport as well as travelling. Looking forward to working with you.

I’m Elise, an IB graduate with 43 points and top marks (7s) in English, French, German, and History, where I also received achievement awards. I went on to study Law and now work internationally in the legal field. Having experienced the IB myself, I understand how challenging it can be, and how much difference the right guidance can make. I love helping students gain confidence in essay-based subjects by showing them how to write clearly, think critically, and approach exams strategically. My goal as a tutor is to help students reach the grades they need while building lasting skills that will serve them well at university and beyond. My tutoring approach is personal and thorough. I have worked with students from a range of backgrounds and always adapt my approach to their personality and learning style. I quickly identify each student’s weaknesses and design clear, structured strategies to turn them into strengths. Alongside teaching, I provide detailed essay feedback, oral exam preparation, and broader IB support, from subject planning to time management and even university applications. I’m also highly responsive and make sure my students always feel supported and heard, whether they need clarification or encouragement. Outside of tutoring, I love learning languages and reading. I speak fluent English, Dutch, German, French and Mandarin, and am working towards beocming fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. I also love travelling, especially to adventurous destinations.

Over the twenty years of my teaching career, I’ve taught both the MYP and the DP in four IB schools around the world, engaging with many different cultures and building lasting relationships with students as I’ve prepared them for the rigours of internal assessments and final exams. When I teach, I like to get to the heart of things, revealing the fundamental principles behind the essential skills.

I’m Flora, an IB graduate with 42 points who now studies Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I achieved 7s in Higher Level English and Psychology, and have been tutoring IB students with Lanterna Education since 2024. My academic background and experience working alongside researchers and psychologists have strengthened my understanding of how people learn best — something I bring into every tutoring session. My approach is student-centred and supportive: I focus on helping students build confidence by breaking down challenging topics into clear, manageable steps. Whether it’s essay structure, exam technique, or understanding complex theories, I tailor my lessons to each student’s needs and goals. I see tutoring not just as teaching content, but as mentoring students through the IB experience. Outside of tutoring, I’m passionate about mental health and youth advocacy — I’ve served as a Deputy Member of Youth Parliament and volunteered with community wellbeing projects. In my free time, I love gardening, learning the harp, and exploring new ideas in psychology.

I’m Manmohini, an IB graduate with 40 points, now studying International Relations and Global Affairs in Italy. I earned 7s in HL History and HL English A, along with an A in TOK, and I’ve been tutoring these subjects for around four years. My experience working with organisations like NATO and the United Nations has deepened my understanding of global issues — something I love bringing into my lessons to make learning more relevant and thought-provoking. I focus on helping students see connections between ideas, develop strong essay and critical thinking skills, and approach the IB with confidence and curiosity rather than stress. My lessons are interactive and tailored to each student’s goals, whether that’s improving analysis, refining writing, or mastering exam techniques. I see tutoring as more than academics — it’s about building perspective and empowering students to express themselves clearly while staying balanced.. When I’m not tutoring, you’ll usually find me hiking, playing new music, or planning my next travel adventure.

I'm Eryk, a recent first-class law graduate from Oxford, an IB graduate with 44 points and a future commercial lawyer. I achieved 7s in HL Economics, English and History. As a tutor, I have high expectations for my students, as I know from experience that the only way to truly excel is to practise, practise and practise. My primary objective as a tutor is not to be just another teacher, but to focus on strategies that will enable my students to practise and prepare independently. I believe that teaching someone how to teach themselves is infinitely more valuable than simply teaching a concept, and I hope to teach my students skills they can apply beyond the IB. Outside of tutoring, I like running, reading, cooking and travelling. One of my more niche hobbies includes building plastic models. I also speak three languages, English, Polish and Russian, and I am currently learning German and Mandarin.
