Best IB English Literature tutors in Switzerland & 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 Nicole and I am an IB graduate with 44 points who now has a Bachelors degree in Political Science and a Masters degree in Communication Science. I achieved 7s in HL English Literature, History, Drama, and SL Biology and Spanish B. I have about 3 years of tutoring experience, with a tutoring style that focuses on tailoring my approach to the student's needs and how they best learn, as well as offering emotional support in times of stress. My style is adaptable based on the student, as different students learn differently. I also focus on exam technique and strategy. Outside of tutoring I love travelling, reading, writing, climbing, dancing, playing guitar, and hanging out with friends!

I’m Ayla, an IBDP graduate with 44 points, currently studying Politics and International Relations at the LSE in London. I achieved 7s in HL English Literature and HL Global Politics, and SL Maths AI, SL Spanish B and SL Environmental Systems and Societies. I also achieved an A in both ToK and my EE (in Global Politics). Having just completed the IB myself, I know how challenging it can be, but also how rewarding it feels to make progress and gain confidence along the way. As a tutor I focus on empathy, encouragement, and clarity - I break things down, share strategies that worked for me, and create a space where students feel supported and motivated. More than anything, I want my students to come away from sessions not just knowing more, but also believing more in their own abilities. Outside of tutoring, I love debating in Model UN, ballet and playing tennis.

I’m Manmohini, an IB graduate with 40 points, now studying International Relations and Global Affairs in Italy. I earned 7s in HL History and HL English A, along with an A in TOK, and I’ve been tutoring these subjects for around four years. My experience working with organisations like NATO and the United Nations has deepened my understanding of global issues — something I love bringing into my lessons to make learning more relevant and thought-provoking. I focus on helping students see connections between ideas, develop strong essay and critical thinking skills, and approach the IB with confidence and curiosity rather than stress. My lessons are interactive and tailored to each student’s goals, whether that’s improving analysis, refining writing, or mastering exam techniques. I see tutoring as more than academics — it’s about building perspective and empowering students to express themselves clearly while staying balanced.. When I’m not tutoring, you’ll usually find me hiking, playing new music, or planning my next travel adventure.

I'm Anja, an IB graduate with 42 points and I currently study Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. I achieved 7s for both my HL Biology exams, IA, and an A for my Biology-based Extended Essay. I also achieved 7s for my English Literature exams, individual oral, and HL essay. This is my 3rd year formally tutoring students. When tutoring, I prioritise having students understand the logical background to a concept. Across my students, I feel a real appreciation for the different ways that students learn and work, and change approaches depending on the student, to find strategies best suited to the student. I have a genuine love for my subjects, and am always excited to engage with them through tutoring! I've been in the IB for the primary, middle, and diploma programmes (PYP, MYP and DP), so my methods of learning and teaching have always been rooted in the values of the IB itself, giving me an intimate understanding of the program and the ways they expect students to apply their knowledge. Outside of tutoring and college, I really enjoy boxing, visual arts and playing the saxophone as part of a jazz club!

With over a decade of experience in international education, I’ve supported IB students across English, History, Global Politics, and Theory of Knowledge, both in top-tier schools and as a freelance tutor/coach. I’ve guided hundreds through every stage of the IB journey—from internal assessments to final exams—with an emphasis on personalized learning and deep understanding. Drawing on professional training in pedagogy and counselling, I offer thoughtful, holistic support that blends subject expertise with strategic insight, helping students craft strong written work, sharpen exam technique, and approach learning with confidence and clarity.
