Best IB tutors in Lausanne & online

I'm Avishi, an IB graduate with 43 points who now studies economics and finance at HEC Paris. I was born in India and moved to France when I was ten, which is the place where I finished my schooling. I achieved 7s in HL Math AA and HL Physics, and I've been tutoring IB students since I graduated, for over 4 years now and have been tutoring in general for over 6 years. I focus primarily on connecting with the students since every person has a very distinctive and unique method of learning which works for them. I then tailor the sessions to make them as dynamic as possible where we are working through exam-style past paper questions together, to help students come to the solution and discover the best way to approach problems. I also ensure that my sessions focus on best exam strategies and we work with questions that are the same difficulty and representative of the final IB exam questions. Outside of tutoring, I love playing tennis, chess, travelling, watching movies, and am an avid foodie!

I’m Selma, an experienced IB Biology teacher with over 15 years of teaching IB students at international schools. I hold a degree in Biology and have been teaching IB DP programme for many years. I’ve also guided dozens of students through their Internal Assessments and Extended Essays, helping them achieve top grades and gain confidence in scientific inquiry. My approach is structured yet supportive — I focus on helping students see the big picture in Biology by connecting topics across units. I also work on strengthening exam technique and command term understanding, which are key to success in IB assessments. Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time in nature, travelling, and exploring new scientific topics to bring fresh ideas into my teaching.

I’m Adriana, a passionate Spanish teacher with several years of experience teaching IBDP Spanish B and secondary Spanish, both in international and British school settings. I am also an accredited IB examiner, which gives me a strong insight into how students can succeed in assessments. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (International) from the University of Nottingham and have been teaching Spanish across different age groups and levels, from middle school to the IB Diploma Programme. My background includes designing engaging curricula, implementing digital learning tools, and supporting students to develop confidence and fluency in Spanish. As a tutor, I focus on creating an encouraging and structured learning environment where students can strengthen not only their language skills but also their critical thinking and cultural awareness. I combine exam preparation strategies with practical communication, so students feel ready for both assessments and real-life use of the language. Outside the classroom, I enjoy hiking, traveling, yoga, and exploring different cultures. These interests help me bring authentic perspectives and cultural richness into my lessons. I look forward to guiding you through your IB Spanish journey with enthusiasm, clarity, and personalized support.

My name is Celina, I graduated the IB with 44 points in 2021, and I am now working on my master's degree in aerospace engineering at TU Delft. I received 7s in HL Physics, Math AA, and Music, and I have tutored students with Lanterna for around 2 years now. I am also a teaching assistant for several courses at my university. I guide students in the same way I learn difficult subjects myself: ensuring a solid foundation with basic concepts, and slowly building upon it to avoid attempting to understanding too many ideas at once. I am a firm believer that everything can be explained in terms that are easy to understand if simplified correctly. I developed this simplification skill to be able to understand complex topics during the 3 years it took to obtain my bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy Track & Field, beach volleyball, martial arts, hiking, skiing, and sailing. I am also classically trained in singing, piano, and violin – hence why I enjoy teaching IB Music – and I try to practice my instruments whenever I get the chance.

I scaffold every approach, case study and task so that students and their teachers know exactly what is required of them. My aim is to extend their thinking and knowledge of new works and artists. I live by the motto of 'teacher does the project first' and this has resulted in workshops being created that support all performers, creators and musicians.

I’m Mansha. I graduated with my IB Diploma from an international school in India in 2019. I scored a 43/45 with 4 HL subjects. I’m now pursuing a PhD at the University of Oxford, after completing a BSc in Physics, Mathematics, and Molecular and Cellular Biology (honors) at Johns Hopkins University. I’ve been a university mentor and teaching assistant, and a tutor for the IB, AP, A-Levels, and SAT for the past 5 years. I’ve worked with students all over the world, and that’s one of the things I love about my work! I believe every student deserves to enjoy their subjects, and that understanding your needs and individual learning styles is important to helping you grow and become a confident, independent learner. I love the subjects I teach, and my core goal is to make them just as enjoyable for my students! Outside my work, I enjoy pottery, learning new languages, reading, and cooking and baking. You can find me self-learning the piano, doing art, or going for long walks. I love animals, and I have an adopted parrot and small dog who make appearances in my meetings sometimes!

I’m Mateus, an IB graduate with 43 points who studied Politics and International Relations at the University of Cambridge, graduating with First-Class Honours, and later completed an MSc in Applied Social Data Science at the London School of Economics (LSE). I now work as a Data Analyst for the United Nations, where I use statistical and analytical tools to support policy research and decision-making. I achieved 7s in HL Global Politics, HL Economics, SL Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches, SL French, and SL Design, as well as an A in my Global Politics Extended Essay. I’ve been tutoring IB students for over four years, helping them improve their confidence, analytical thinking, and exam performance, especially across the humanities and social sciences. My tutoring style is clear, structured, and supportive. I focus on breaking complex ideas into simple steps while teaching effective essay and exam techniques. Outside of tutoring, I love football, skiing, and travelling, and I speak English, French, and Portuguese.

I hold a Master’s degree from MAJU Islamabad and a Bachelor’s degree from UCP Lahore. Over the years, I’ve successfully guided IB students through all aspects of the course, from mastering Paper 1 and Paper 2 topics to completing their Internal Assessments and Extended Essays with confidence.

I’m Daria, an IB Language and Literature teacher and Russian B specialist with experience teaching across MYP and DP. I hold a Master’s degree in Education (Russian as a Foreign Language) and have been teaching since 2017 in international schools and language centres. I currently teach Russian Language Acquisition and Russian Language and Literature in the IB and support students preparing for Internal Assessments, Individual Orals, and final exams through personalised one-to-one tutoring. My approach combines clear exam preparation with deeper understanding. I help students not only improve their results, but also develop the ability to think, interpret, and express ideas with confidence. I break IB criteria into practical steps and make expectations transparent and manageable. I design my lessons around ideas that genuinely inspire me — because I believe curiosity is contagious. I am not afraid to explore complex concepts or approach literature through challenge, using a variety of stimuli such as texts, visuals, films, and discussions. My goal is not only short-term results, but to plant ideas that stay with students long after the course. Outside of teaching, I love literature, museums, and watercolor painting. My daughter studies in an IB school, so I also see the system from a parent’s perspective. I am currently based in Tashkent, but I often bring a bit of my hometown, St. Petersburg, into my lessons.
