About:
A certified teacher, I have been teaching English langauge and literature since 2004. I teach and tutor IGCSE and IB English as well as IB Theory of Knowledge, and I am also a school-appointed tutor for students taking the IB School-Supported Self-Taught (SSST) Language A: Literature course. I bring over a decade of experience as an IB examiner in two subjects (Language & Literature and TOK) to my teaching, ensuring students know exactly what is necessary to excel in their exams, internal and external assessments and extended essays. I am passionate about all forms of creativity and expression, and I have a knack for logic and critical thinking. This gives me a well-rounded approach to literary analysis, interpretation, argumentation, essay writing, and related topics.
Teaching experience and approach:
My educational background is in literature, cultural studies and philosophy, and I hold a MA in European Studies as well as a TEFL teaching certificate. I started my career as an English teacher in language schools in Asia and Central Europe before beginning to teach within the IGCSE, MYP and IB Diploma programmes in 2010.
I take a particular interest in helping students discover their potential through oral and written communication, inspiring critical, analytical and creative thought in the pursuit of personal, communal and global awareness. The core of my teaching philosophy is openness. This means listening to my students and drawing upon my decades of skill and experience to adjust to their needs. Every student is unique and part of the excitement of my job is figuring out how we will connect and learn from each other. I hope to think my openness will be contagious, and the student will grow in confidence to make great strides in their learning.
Qualifications:
- BA in Literary and Cultural Studies
- MA in European Studies
- Certificate of TEFL

Jason provided clear, thoughtful, and constructive feedback
ParentWe had a very positive experience with Jason. He provided my son with clear, thoughtful, and constructive feedback on his work. He challenged my son’s thinking in a supportive way and helped him refine his arguments and use of examples. We found the session very valuable and would highly recommend him.

Jason helped me achieve better grades
StudentMy lessons with Mr Jason had a great effect on me especially about how the IB student should think to answer the questions, with his guidance and lessons I achieved better grades and developed significantly, before I was achieving a grade of 3 in English and with his lessons I started to achieve 5’s and 6’s. - IB2 Student
