Specialist Online English IB Tutors
The IB can feel like a big step up. Suddenly, it’s not just about understanding a book, but analysing complex texts and structuring arguments in a very specific way. It’s a lot to keep track of, and it’s completely normal to feel a bit lost. Even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.
You don’t need to become an expert in the IB. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need help with. We then find the right person for them from our highly-vetted tutors—someone who can make sense of it all.

Making sense of IB English, one lesson at a time
The right tutor does more than just explain the difference between Paper 1 and the HL Essay. They find a way to connect with your child, helping them find their own voice and build arguments they can feel proud of. It’s about seeing them engage with the subject again.
That confidence is what makes the difference. It's what helps them tackle unseen texts without panicking and prepare for their oral assessment feeling ready. And it’s that self-belief that will support them long after the exams are over, especially as they look ahead to their UCAS application.

How we find the right person for your child
Our Tutor Finder asks the right questions: about your child’s goals, how they learn best, and any specific areas they struggle with in IB English. Based on your answers, we recommend a shortlist of tutors we would genuinely choose for your child. No scrolling through hundreds of profiles.
Every tutor on that list has been carefully vetted—only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted. They are all ID-verified, DBS-checked, and chosen for their ability to build confidence. As thousands of reviews from parents show, we have a 4.6-star rating for a reason.
Most families have their first lesson within days. It’s a low-pressure session for the tutor to get to know your child. And if it’s not the right fit? Our First Lesson Guarantee means we find someone else, at no extra cost.

Andrea P
Andrea is a caring tutor. She tutored my daughter for IB admissions, and my daughter passed. What impressed me about Andrea is that she followed up several months later to check if my daughter passed. That was a class act and hallmark of a great tutor.
