IB Tutor - History, Global Politics, English (all levels)
From 50.29 $ /h
After having finished the International Baccalaureate at a United World College, I continued getting my BA in World Politics (cum laude) and am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. For my HL classes, I received a 7 in Global Politics, a 6 in History, and a 7 in English Lang&Lit.
I started tutoring in my own neighborhood from the age of 14, but have since gained 5 years of professional tutoring experience, including by working as a college-level student assistant. My approach to learning is influenced by my own diverse background. I have studied in the Netherlands, Armenia, Norway, and Egypt; all these places have shown me what works and what doesn't. When it comes to the IB, I strongly understand how essays should be structured and what exam strategies work best to achieve the highest results.

Extra information
I always prefer students to inform me well in advance of any topics they struggle most with. This way, I can prepare the necessary materials to enhance the tutoring session. However, I also understand that students can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of work and are not sure where to start. Together, we can figure out what your strengths are as well as any weaknesses.

About Me
Hello! My name is Arno and I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I am currently living in Bruges, Belgium, on my way to get my second master's degree in UE International Relations at the College of Europe. Before that, I got my Master's in European Affairs from Sciences Po Paris and a BA in World Politics (cum laude) from Leiden University. I love tutoring as a way to help other people unlock their potential. When I am not studying or tutoring, I spend most of my time in the outdoors, hiking, running, or kayaking.

My name is Arno and I am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. I have always loved languages. I was raised in a trilingual environment through which I learned Dutch, English, and Armenian. Being raised in this environment has changed the way I look at languages. Besides these three, I also speak Norwegian, Spanish, and French at a B2 level (CEFR) as well as Arabic at B1 level (CEFR).
I have more than 5 years of professional experience in language tutoring and know what works and what does not. I have tutored high school and college students and have taught languages to students as young as 7 and as old as 63. My most rewarding language tutoring experience was teaching Dutch to Syrian refugees. Through them, I truly understood the importance of language and how it can connect people from across the world.
My personal approach to language learning as a combination of learning how to speak quickly and truly understanding grammar. I try to integrate conversations in the target language from the first class, while at the same time teaching grammar in an accessible way. I understand that students often find grammar daunting, but with the right approach, it truly does not have to be. I do not believe in a "first learn, then apply" approach. When I teach, I want students to start engaging with the language from day one.
Whether you have been studying for years, or you are starting from scratch, I am sure that we can make you feel more confident in your abilities in no time!
