Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can an English IB tutor help my child with the different course options?

An experienced English IB tutor can clarify the distinctions between 'Language & Literature' and 'Literature,' and the implications of choosing Higher Level (HL) versus Standard Level (SL). They'll help your child understand the specific demands of their chosen path, ensuring they're on track to meet their academic and university goals, and reassure you about the academic standing of each option.

Will universities value English IB, especially the 'Language & Literature' course, as much as traditional A-Levels?

Absolutely. Leading universities widely recognise and highly value the IB Diploma, including the English IB. The 'Language & Literature' course, which examines how language works in various contexts from literature to media, develops sophisticated critical thinking and analytical skills that are incredibly desirable for degrees like Law, History, and many others. Tutors help students articulate these skills effectively for UCAS applications.

How does tutoring help with unique IB assessments like the Individual Oral (IA) or HL Essay?

These assessments can feel daunting. An English IB tutor provides a safe, structured environment for your child to practice their Individual Oral, offering constructive feedback to build confidence and refine their delivery. For the HL Essay, they can guide your child through topic selection, research, structuring arguments, and refining their writing, breaking down what might feel like a huge, independent project into manageable steps.

My child finds the 'unseen texts' in Paper 1 tricky. Can an English IB tutor help with that?

Yes, definitely. Paper 1's unseen texts, which can range from literary excerpts to advertisements or infographics, require a specific analytical approach. An English IB tutor will teach your child effective strategies for breaking down unfamiliar texts, identifying key features, and constructing strong analytical responses under exam conditions, making it feel much less intimidating.

How do I know I'm getting a good English IB tutor?

We carefully vet all our tutors. They are subject experts with a deep understanding of the English IB curriculum, and only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted onto the platform. Each tutor also has a detailed profile, including reviews from other students and parents, so you can confidently choose the right match for your child.

How quickly can an English IB tutor make a difference?

The impact can be surprisingly swift. With personalised, one-to-one support tailored to their specific needs, many students find that focused tutoring leads to significant improvement in understanding and confidence. Students working with our tutors often improve by at least one full grade.
