Best IB ESS tutors in the Netherlands & online

I’m an IB Diploma graduate and former IB DP Coordinator with over a decade of international teaching experience in Singapore, Japan, and the U.S. I completed my undergraduate degree at Imperial College London and my master’s at University College London (UCL) before earning a Distinction-awarded M.Ed. in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Adelaide. Since 2017, I have served as an IB Geography Examiner, marking Internal Assessments and Paper 3 exams, and attending standardization meetings with examining heads and lead examiners.

I'm Sophie, I graduated with 40 IB points in 2014. After studying at 5 universities across 3 countries (starting with Leiden University) in the Netherlands, I became a Geography and Environmental Systems and Societies teacher at a Dutch international school. I started my career as a schoolteacher in 2017, and more recently have also become a Careers Counsellor for IB students. I have tutored hundreds of students since then, mostly in maths and sciences but also in languages and of course my own exam subjects. I am great at integrating exam practice into my lessons so students can smash their exams. When I'm not tutoring, I like acting, dancing and baking.

I'm Olympia, a French and English IB tutor! I completed the IB in 2023 with 40 points, and I am now studying Politics, History, and Finance at Sciences Po Paris with a year at Cambridge. I achieved a 7 in History HL, 7 in French A SL, 7 in ESS, 6 in Economics HL, and 6 in English A HL- these are all topics that I tutor in. In our tutoring sessions, I adapt to what needs the most practice: exams, the IA, terminology, structuring essays, etc. I have been tutoring IB students for 4 years now, and I also tutor young professionals online. I am a firm believer that 7's in the IB are achievable with the right strategy and study method, which we can work on together. Outside of tutoring, I still study at university and enjoy playing tennis and rowing!

I have taught IB Geography and ESS for 15 years in Hong Kong in a top ESF school where I was Head of Department for both subjects. I like to get to know your learning style so that I can personalise my teaching to maximise the effect and success. If you need support with your EE or IA, I can help you understand and love the process and not just the outcome.

I am Hamza, an IB teacher and examiner with nearly a decade of experience as an educator. I graduated High Honors from Swarthmore College, a liberal arts college in the US with majors in Political Science and History. I have taught the Environmental Systems and Societies (SL), Global Politics (SL & HL) and Theory of Knowledge classes since 2019, and have served as an examiner since 2023. I am adept at providing extensive feedback and one-on-one mentoring for Extended Essays, IAs, Theory of Knowledge essays and Exhibition commentaries. My focus is on fusing the IB curriculum's requirements with an interdisciplinary lens that makes my classroom engaging and rigorous. I approach my lessons with a focus on equipping my students with robust conceptual toolkits and relevant real world knowledge. My teaching style is deeply interactive and resembles a seminar - I explain the content, but I value the discussion and conversation that follows most of all. I encourage my students to ask questions without any hesitation, and to contribute to the conversation by crafting their own arguments. I strive to make my classroom inclusive and respectful, and I am invested in getting to know my students' individual learning styles and needs, so I can tailor my teaching to what works best. The values I seek to uphold in my classroom are mutual respect, inquiry and reflection. Outside of my work as an educator, I play squash and collect vintage typewriters.

I'm Greta, an IB graduate with 43 points who is about to finish a BSc at the London School of Economics (LSE) in International Relations and History. I achieved 7s in History HL (including all 7s on paper 1, 2, and 3), French Language and Literature HL, Environmental Systems and Society (ESS) as well as an A in TOK. I have been tutoring IB students for 3 years but I also have prior experience teaching non-IB syllabuses. I focus on helping students master the exam strategies that proved effective during my own IB experience. Additionally, I support students throughout the IA process, from topic selection to final submission. Outside of tutoring, I am a volunteer English teacher to forcibly displaced people in a refugee center.
