IB specialistIB Business Management Tutor15 years' teaching
I’m María, an IB graduate with 37 points and a Bachelor in Political Sciences and International Relations from the Argentine Catholic University. I worked in an international school for 15 years where I taught MYP History and Geography, and IBDP Economics and Business Management at High LeveI. In 2022, I started tutoring IB and A level students online, and in 2023 I became an IB Examiner in Business Management HL Paper 2 and Extended Essay. During teaching, I usually complement course textbook with presentations that focus on main content and include videos or other visual tools to help students access knowledge in different ways. I try to teach at a slow pace, always referring back to key concepts during explanations. During practise, I include quizzes or past paper questions to help students get acquainted with the real exam. I also engage students in debates and discussions where they can apply theory to real world cases. During assessment, I try to give as much feedback and tips as I can to help them develop exam strategies that really work. I also explain assessment criteria in detail for students to understand what is expected from them, especially when working on Internal Assessment and Extended Essay. Outside of tutoring, I love spending time in the mountains, where I usually go trekking and horse riding. I also enjoy traveling, especially to Portugal, where most of my family lives.
