IB TOK tutors in Germany & online

My name is Matilde. I completed the IB in 2021 with a score of 45 before coming up to the University of Cambridge, where I read Human, Social and Political Sciences and graduated at the top of my cohort. I am currently completing an MPhil in Social Anthropology at Cambridge, and will be progressing to a PhD in October. I have now been tutoring IB students for over three years. Alongside this, I have worked as an editor for the Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs and with a number of student-focused non-profits. As a result, I have a lot of good experience helping students improve their performance around exams! My approach to tutoring is deliberately flexible, as I recognise that each student brings their own strengths and ways of learning. That said, I do try to incorporate elements of the Oxbridge tutorial style, which I think lends itself particularly well to one-to-one teaching: encouraging students to engage critically with material and develop confidence in their own analytical voice.

I'm Hela, an IB graduate with 45 points who now studies Neuropsychiatry at University of Oxford. Previously I have received a first-class bachelors degree from St Andrews University. I received 7s from all of my studies, and I have been an IB tutor for the past 4 years, teaching mainly Biology and Mathematics AA and AI, both at a SL and HL. Despite having done these subjects at a university level, I remember studying them back in high school and how stressful and sometimes complicated the concepts were. Thus, I pride myself on being a patient tutor, that takes time whenever a concept needs to be explained in more detail, whilst at the same time providing further learning opportunities (recommending further readings/ competitions) for students who want to do explore a topic in more depth. Outside of tutoring I am an avid runner and rower and love to paint in my free time.

I am an experienced IB examiner in Literature, Language & Literature, and Literature & Performance, with over two decades of teaching experience across the Diploma Programme, including Theory of Knowledge (Essay). I currently teach IB English Language & Literature (HL/SL), Literature & Performance, and Theory of Knowledge at an all-scholarship K–12 international school, where students are deeply engaged, academically ambitious, and highly motivated.

As a prior IB Coordinator, I am also highly experienced with IB regulations. I am an expert in English A courses as well as ToK and the Extended Essay. For decades, I have served as an examiner for both papers as well as the internal assessments in Literature and Language and Literature. I specialize in critical analysis and development of writing skills.

I examine English B HL and Theory of Knowledge and teach both subjects in an international school in Spain. I have taught in the IB system for more than six years but my teaching experience goes back at least 10 more. As an examiner I have an inside line into exactly what the IB are looking for, whether it be in a TOK essay, English B writing or extended essays.

I currently serve as the Head and Coordinator of the IB Diploma and Career-related Programmes at Beaconhouse Newlands Islamabad and contribute to the IB community as an IBEN Workshop Leader, IBEN Evaluation Leader, and IB Examiner for English Language and Literature and Theory of Knowledge.
