I passed the IB diploma program for Biology Standard Level with full marks, I also received a 7 on my Internal Assessment (IA). I have a very good grasp on what the IB expects from it's students (all the weird and wonderful little criteria.) I have a very good grasp on Biology the subject itself, as it was one of my favorite classes and I understand the concepts on a broader and more minute scale, so I can help students to understand the topics as well as the specifics and how they all play into one another. I aim to provide students with not just the memorization of information in a somewhat robotic sense, but an actual understanding and comfortable grasp on all the topics, ideas and concepts. I can help with any homework or course work provided, including providing feedback and guidance on essays and assignments. I also like to set out extra homework (not difficult, just based on our sessions) to get back to me at the next meeting so that the student's confidence and grasp on the subjects continues to build and I can see where exactly they need assistance.

NB: prior to our meetings, if possible, I would appreciate being sent whatever course work or topics the student is currently doing in class (or the syllabus, in the best case scenario) in order to best maximize my planning and ability to assist.

About Me
Hi! :) I'm Elme. I'm South African, and I grew up all over Africa. I've lived in Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, the Netherlands for the past 5 years and now I live in the USA. I've traveled all over the world so chances are I've spent some time in your home country! As for tutoring, when I was a student in the IB I was in need of a tutor for math, and I tried out multiple different ones before I found what worked for me. Due to this, I have some invaluable personal experience as to what works and what doesn't. I also understand the inner workings of the IB and the weird and wonderful criteria that they set for their students, as well as how to 'hack' that sometimes complicated system. During my high school years, I tutored my siblings and their friends as well as my own friends and some other students who reached out. I consider myself pretty easy to get along with and I can quickly get a read on what exactly each student needs in the long run, in order for continued success :)
Education
I graduated from the IB Diploma Programme myself and I am currently doing my second year of a Bachelor of European Law at Maastricht University. I also attended UWCM for two years!
Experience / Qualifications
I have multiple years of tutoring IB students, including all different age ranges. I also was an IB student myself, and understand the inner workings and expectations. I recently completed my Bachelor's Degree in Law from Maastricht University, and will be starting my Master's Degree in International Business and Economic Law from the University of Southern California!

I can offer English tutoring for grades 3 through to DP2 in IB English. I passed the IB with a consistent 7 in English Language and Literature (the highest English course available) and received full marks for most of my assignments. I can help with fundamental concepts, understanding of what is expected to meet the IB's requirements, and how to answer the questions and do the assignments to meet the specific expectations of the IB. I am also available to help with the completion of assignments (in terms of guiding, correcting, and suggestions) and with whatever course work is assigned (including any books that are assigned.)

NB: If the work with which I am to help is related to an assigned reading book, please inform me of the book in advance so that I can do some preparatory work.

I completed the IB DP with a consistent 7/ high 6 in Higher Level History, and this has always been one of my favorite subjects. I am very good at this subject and have somewhat of a passion for it. I have a very good grasp of what is expected from the IB students as pertains to this subject, and I know the ins and outs of the criteria and the weird and wonderful little ways in which the IB expects the students to perform. I am able to help with any course work, homework, assignments, or assessments. As pertains to the DP students, I also did my EE on a History topic so I can assist there if need be. I am also a tutor in English and as comprehensive writing and legibility is a large part of what is expected from IB History students, I can offer particular insight into how to best write and get arguments across.

Hello! My name is Valeria and I am from Perú. I am a native Spanish speaker that have 3 years of tutoring experience. I will make your Spanish better through many real-life examples, conversation and grammar exercises. In addition, I can assign you different materials (videos, books, podcasts, etc) that will complement the learning process and make you more interested and motivated.

My goal is to understand the expectations of my students in order to customize the classes and satisfy their needs. Moreover, I strongly believe that when you start learning a new language, you get to know more about the culture. In this sense, you will learn and improve your Spanish and also get to know about the Latin culture without having to travel there.

Biology never sounded more fun!
Are you struggling with your biology classes? Or are you simply fascinated by understanding the mechanisms behind living organisms? Then this class is for you! Freshly graduated from a Bsc in Biomedical Sciences, I can help you with any topic that you're struggling with or that you're really interested in. Together we will make sure everything is understood, we will find analogies that really speak to you and we'll improve and/or solidify your already-existing knowledge. And who knows, maybe we'll even have fun doing so??

Hola a todos! I am Jana, a 20 year old German girl who lived in Madrid. I have an official C1 DELE certificate and I am offering Spanish tutoring (Mainly conversation but I would also offer grammar) for all levels.

I offer language classes and conversation from a bilingual native speaker in French and German and also English (C1 certified). If you want to improve your level or need help for school work in these languages (any subject), contact me!

I recently graduated from the Lycée Franco Allemand (French German high school) in Saarbrücken, Germany but grew up in a french-speaking household, which allowed me to have a natural, bilingual uprising and excellent knowledge in both these languages. Later on in high school I also improved my English level by studying for 6 months at the Parklands Languages High School in Chorley, Lancastershire.

Since I am currently enrolled at the Maastricht Science Program at the University of Maastricht and had been following rigorous scientific education during my high school (Biology and Chemistry specialisation), I can offer tutoring in any classes and especially in the Sciences in English, French or German.

My name is Alberto . An enthusiastic 19 year old Biomedical Sciences student at Maastricht University. During my studies I deal with advanced level biological content from Molecular Biology to Human anatomy, on a daily basis. There is also a big emphasis on being able to explain and communicate newly acquired knowledge, which contributes to my teaching skills. I have previously completed 1 year (60 ECTS) in Biology at the University of Oviedo, where I also learned about general animal and plant biology, Cell Biology, Chemistry and Physics, among others. I believe that Biology can be a challenging subject for everyone, Therefore I would love to share my enthusiasm and experience on the subject with any primary/high school student who may need it. I promise you, Biology can be a fun thing to learn, specially when you understand it!
Before each session, you could for example send me which topics you would like to focus on (e.g. picture of your textbook, homework..) so that we can address it during the session. The classes would be fully given in English and focused on each student's materials. The classes can also be given in Spanish if desired by the student (native Language).

I am willing to help you improve your language skills. As my nationality is German, I speak this language fluently. I used to live in Spain for nine years, that is why the Spanish language is no problem either. I am an International Business Student at Maastricht University, so my studies are constantly in English and it is the language I mostly use during my daily life.

bonjour,

My name is Alexander and I am 33 years old. I'm Dutch, but I grew up in France all my life.
In addition to my Baccalaureate (Mention bien), I also studied political science in Paris (Panthéon-Assas) for a year.
In short, I know where the trouble lies as a Dutch person in learning French. In addition to a grammatical preparation, I also provide a cultural background. I can help with test preparations from school to university level. French education demands more than just language, but also rhetorical technique. I'd be happy to help you with that too!

Feel free to contact us, and together we will develop your ideal lesson.
