Best IB English A tutors in Switzerland & online

I’m Tayyaba, an IB English Language and Literature teacher with over 17 years of experience in international education. As an IB Examiner and Extended Essay Supervisor, I’ve consistently helped students reach their academic goals, with a 100% pass record, most improving by one or two grades, and my Extended Essay students achieving an A. I hold a Master’s degree in Mass Communication (Gold Medalist) and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from the University of Balochistan. I’ve taught IBDP English A: Language and Literature at Beaconhouse Newlands and Beaconhouse Margalla Campus, where I also supported students through Internal Assessments, Extended Essays, and exam preparation. My tutoring style focuses on simplifying complex ideas, strengthening analytical writing, and developing exam strategies that truly work. I guide students to think critically and communicate with clarity and confidence. Beyond the classroom, I love exploring world literature, listening to music, and travelling to experience diverse cultures. Fluent in English and Urdu, I believe language learning is not just about words,it’s about understanding the world.

I’m Eva — Head of English, IB Examiner, and Workshop Leader with over 20 years of international experience teaching and tutoring English, German, and French. I hold a PhD in English and Comparative Literature and a Master’s in French and Comparative Literature. For the past 10 years, I’ve also been part of the IB Educator Network, leading workshops and mentoring teachers around the world. I teach all IB language courses — Language A, B, and Ab Initio — as well as the MYP, and I guide students through their Extended Essays with care and precision. My tutoring sessions are designed to make language learning clear, personal, and inspiring. I love helping students find confidence in expressing themselves — whether it’s mastering essay structure, refining analysis, or simply finding joy in language. Languages are my lifelong passion — I speak several and continue learning Mandarin Chinese. A German who’s lived in Paris, Johannesburg, and now Cyprus, I bring a truly global perspective. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me jogging, swimming, travelling, or exploring art — always learning, always curious.

I'm Grace, an IB graduate with 45 points with over 4 years of teaching experience, studying French and Spanish at the University of Oxford. I achieved 7s in all my subjects (English Literature, Spanish B and French B at higher). I've taught students aged 10-18, and I have a strong knowledge of the IB and MYP programmes for languages and literature. I like to focus my teaching on global issues, associating studies with a real world context, and finding interesting points of engagement with the subject matter through culture, history, art and music. I'm a friendly face and an expert mentor in all things exam related: I also have expertise in teaching students with learning difficulties. In my sessions, I aim to build student confidence, empower students with their growing knowledge and help them to adopt the resilient attitude you need to conquer the IB! Outside of tutoring I love ballet, swimming, playing guitar and acting.

I’m Tahmina, an experienced IB teacher and IB Examiner specializing in English A, English B, Russian A, and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). I hold a Master’s degree in Educational Management from ADA University and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from the Azerbaijan University of Languages. For over seven years, I have been teaching at Khazar University Dunya IB School, where I work with MYP and DP students as a Language A/B and TOK teacher, Extended Essay supervisor, and ATL Coordinator. My certifications include IB training in Language and Literature, English B, TOK, ATL skills, and Extended Essay supervision. Alongside my school experience, I have taught Russian A, as well as SAT and IELTS preparation, and coordinated international academic competitions. My tutoring style is structured yet supportive: I focus on helping students break down complex ideas, refine their critical thinking, and build strong exam strategies. As an IB Examiner, I know exactly what examiners are looking for and guide my students to meet and exceed those expectations. I see myself not only as a tutor but also as a mentor who helps students grow in confidence and independence. Outside the classroom, I enjoy literature, exploring global education trends, and speaking four languages: Azerbaijani, English, Turkish, and Russian.

I'm Alice, an IB graduate with 45 points who has just graduated with a first-class degree in History from Durham University. I am currently doing a Masters in Law in London as part of my training to become a solicitor in the UK. I achieved 7s in all of my IB subjects and have been tutoring IB students for nearly 5 years. My tutoring style focuses on adapting to my tutee's individual learning styles, and making my sessions interactive and fun to help students really grasp the fundamentals of the IB programme. I can really relate to the challenges of the IB, so I love to work with students to build their confidence in their subject areas, by focusing on strengthening their exam answers and Internal Assessment work. Outside of tutoring, I love cooking and baking and I also compete for a field hockey team in London. I also have two black cats!

I am Laura and I am an English A and TOK teacher. I am also my school's IB Coordinator as well as an IB examiner, so have a lot of experience in the world of IB! I have worked in schools in the UK, Europe, South American and North America. I have over a decade's experience teaching English A (Language and Literature, Literature, and Literature and Performance courses) and have taught and tutored many students who have achieved the highest grades at SL and HL. In my tutoring, I have a wealth of resources to break down the skills required for exams and IAs and to build confidence in analysing and evaluating effective examples for both exam papers; making sure the foundations are strong to develop individual analysis is something I do in all lessons I teach. I have years of experience working with students with accommodations and have a range of resources to help those who need more explicit examples and chunking of tasks. Being an examiner, I also have many years of past questions and papers to help with final preparations as well. I am happy to support at any stage of the IB process and give you confidence boosts in your own work when needed! Outside of tutoring, I do a lot of reading, exercising and walking my dog. I am also trying to keep up my own language learning of Portuguese and Italian.
