Frequently asked questions

What qualifications and experience do your individual IB English oral tutors have?

Our IB English oral tutors bring exceptional qualifications and real-world IB experience to their teaching. All our tutors are certified teachers and hold degrees in English Literature or related fields and are certified teachers with years of experience in international schools.

Along with this, many of our tutors are IB English examiners. Therefore, they are well aware of what makes a great oral presentation. In other words, they know exactly what examiners look for and can help you master the specific skills needed to nail your oral assessment.

We carefully select our tutors through a rigorous screening process that evaluates not only their academic credentials but also their ability to communicate effectively and build student confidence.

How does an online IB English tutor work?

Our online IB English oral tutoring is a convenient and effective way to improve your linguistic skills from the comfort of your house. Using our interactive digital platform, you are able to engage in real-time conversations with your tutor, practice your oral presentation, and get valuable tips on how to improve it.

One more advantage of our online IB English tutoring is the possibility to record your sessions. You may access these records at any time to review your performance and bring the necessary changes. Along with this, you have a chance to instantly share documents with your tutor and use our interactive whiteboard to annotate texts together. Thanks to these digital tools, you can benefit from real-time feedback on your delivery, analysis, and presentation structure.

What is included in IB English io lessons at TutorsPlus?

Our IB English Individual Oral lessons provide all-around preparation that covers every aspect of this internal assessment.

First of all, our tutors will help you to master the fundamentals. This includes tips on how to analyse texts, identify their key literary devices, develop insightful interpretations, etc. Along with this, they can show you how to connect global issues to your chosen extracts and create convincing arguments.

Practice makes perfect; therefore, you can count on multiple mock oral presentations to rehearse. These exercises are designed to help you improve the structure of your Individual Oral. But not only that, your tutor may nudge you to find extra arguments or select more appropriate extracts. They are also of great assistance when it comes to answering follow-up questions. It is a stumbling stone for many students because they don’t know which questions to expect. However, practising with a tutor can give you the confidence to answer tricky questions off the cuff. After such mock exam sessions, you can receive feedback on both your content and delivery style.

Additionally, our IB English IO tutors will be happy to share time management strategies, which are useful to organise your thoughts within the time limits. You can also get to know proven techniques for developing your analytical voice, responding to questions, and maintaining a natural speaking pace.

What is the recommended frequency of IB English io tutoring at TutorsPlus?

We recommend weekly sessions to maintain steady progress. However, the ideal frequency of your tutoring depends on your timeline and current preparation level. For students just beginning their oral preparation or those who need to build confidence quickly, more frequent sessions might be beneficial.

Your tutor will help assess your needs during your first session and recommend a schedule that aligns with your goals and exam date. We can always adjust the frequency of your lessons as you progress – increasing sessions as your exam approaches or reducing them once you’ve built strong foundations.

How can I choose the right tutor to prepare for the IB English oral exam?

At TutorsPlus, we take the guesswork out of finding the perfect tutor. All our IB English tutors have undergone rigorous vetting and training to ensure they meet our high standards. These include both subject expertise and teaching quality.

We understand that personal connection matters in oral preparation, which is why we offer trial lessons. This gives you the opportunity to experience our teaching approach firsthand and ensure you feel comfortable with your tutor’s style. If you ever feel that your current tutor isn’t the best match for you, we’ll be happy to arrange a different tutor who might better suit your needs.

What methods do tutors use to improve my IB English oral skills?

Our IB English Oral tutors employ a variety of proven techniques to help you shine in your oral examination. These may include:

·        Reading sessions where you’ll learn to identify and analyse key literary devices and themes;

·        Regular practice presentations with detailed feedback on both content and delivery;

·        Recording and reviewing your practice sessions to improve speaking techniques;

·        Interactive text analysis using our digital tools;

·        Structured exercises to build confidence in literary analysis and public speaking.

IB English A tutors at TutorsPlus walk the extra mile to adapt these methods to match your learning style and address your specific challenges. But the result – enhanced analytical skills and presentation confidence – is well worth it!

Is there an opportunity to take a trial English oral lesson with a tutor?

Yes! We actually encourage students to start with a trial lesson. This session can give you a chance to experience our teaching approach, try our online platform, and get a feel for how our tutoring can help you prepare for your IB English oral exam. All in all, it is a sneak peek into what regular sessions would be like.

A trial tutoring session is also an opportunity to discuss your goals, assess your current level of preparation, and outline a personalised preparation plan. There’s no obligation to continue after the trial. Rather, we provide this opportunity to give you the peace of mind that our approach and the chosen IB English Individual Oral tutor are a good match.
