Essay writing and IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IO

After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing.

In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction.

We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this.

I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

About Me

I always attended international schools, completed the IB, and know how to write high-quality essays in English. In addition, I also tutor biology and study it at university level. I teach in English.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual who graduated with a 38/45 in the IB program, bringing a strong academic foundation and a passion for helping others succeed.

My ability to communicate confidently and clearly allows me to break down complex concepts in a way that resonates with students, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. I am dedicated to excellence, refining my work through careful attention to detail, which I use to support others in improving their essays and assignments.

I look for students who are motivated to try their hardest and are organised so that I can plan my lessons ahead of time and we can make the most of our classes.

I take the time to ensure students understand challenging topics, especially in demanding subjects like Biology HL. With my experience in international schools and universities, I value diversity and am able to connect with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, making me an effective and approachable tutor.

Highly Recommended IB English Tutor! Nina has been an incredible help in improving my child's IB English skills. She is patient, knowledgeable, and knows how to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. Thanks to her guidance, my child has gained more confidence and made noticeable progress. I highly recommend Nina to any student looking for effective and supportive IB English tutoring!
Super patient, always kind, and really knows how to encourage people. No matter how many questions you ask, she never lose her cool and always explain things in a way that makes sense. Truely an amazing teacher and a wonderful person.
I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest. We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
Writing a strong, well-structured essay is a skill that takes time and guidance to perfect. Whether you're struggling with argumentation, structuring, clarity, or just need someone to proofread and refine your work, I’m here to help. After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL with top marks (7s in HL Essays and IO) and achieving High Distinction (80+/100) in my university writing, I know what it takes to craft essays that are clear, persuasive, and academically strong. In this class, I will help you with everything from brainstorming and structuring to refining your writing style and improving grammar. Our first session will be focused on understanding what you need—whether that’s detailed feedback, proofreading, or general writing advice. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized approach to improve your essays. Expect constructive criticism, clear explanations, and a focus on making your writing as strong as possible. I am looking for students who are willing to learn, improve, and take their writing to the next level. Every session will be tailored to your goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way!

Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.
