Best IB History tutors in the Netherlands & online

I’m Ann, an IB History and ToK tutor. I have taught IB for over 35 years, which I know makes me sound old, but I promise you that I am young at heart. I was also an IB examiner last year. I have a flexible tutoring style and try to adapt this to the needs of the tutee. I focus on breaking down questions to help students see how command and key terms affect the type of response that scores well. I also practice the skill of choosing the right question in exams and planning and writing under pressure of time, as this can often be the difference between performing moderately or at a high level. I have a lot of experience taking students through the History IA and EE as well as theToK exhibition and essay. Outside of tutoring I love to travel as I have spent the last 30 years living and teaching in some really exciting countries such as Cambodia, Japan, Sri Lanka and Angola. I also love to paint and go hiking around Andalusia where I currently live. I hope that if you meet me you will find me to be positive, relaxed and knowledgable.

More recently I was Head of Department for Humanities at Bandung Independent School, again supervising DP History Extended Essays and running the Theory of Knowledge Department. I have taught DP Higher Level History for the past sixteen years, including managing the History Internal Assessments. I am also an International Baccalaureate Examiner and Examination Designer.

I'm Beth with IB teaching experience in international schools in Europe and the United States of over 15 years. I am also an examiner for the IB (since 2015) in History and Extended Essay.

I am a qualified and experienced IB MYP/DP History and Theory of Knowledge teacher. I have 20 years of teaching experience. I am also an IB History Extended Essay and Paper 2 examiner since 2010.

I’m Makena, an IB graduate with 41 points currently studying Medicine at the University of Oxford. Before this, I completed a BSc in Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter and completed a year of research at the Francis Crick Institute in James Briscoe’s Developmental Dynamics Lab. I achieved 7s in HL Chemistry, Biology, and History, and I have been tutoring students for over 5 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with a wide range of students and understand how to adapt lessons to different learning styles, goals and levels of confidence. My tutoring approach focuses on making difficult concepts clear, manageable, and memorable. I aim to help students not only improve grades, but also genuinely understand the material and develop effective revision and exam strategies. I see tutoring as a collaborative process where students feel supported, challenged, and motivated. Outside of academics, I am a scuba diving instructor and love sailing, travelling, and spending time outdoors.

My name is Melina and I have worked as an IB teacher since 2010 and since 2014 I also work as an examiner for IB. I currently teach History and Global Politics at school, and I also have extensive experience as an online tutor. I believe I can help students with all the components of the programme, giving them tips and helping them build confidence to face their exams. I am passionate about teaching, watching other people facing their challenges and overcoming them. For me, students are an inspiration and an example of resilience, hard work and commitment. I live in Barcelona with my family. I love reading and cats.
