I am a passionate IB expert and DP Business Management examiner with over 15 years' experience working within the IB programme. I am positive, patient and flexible, and use engaging and innovative teaching strategies so my students quickly gain the confidence and motivation to achieve their goals. Currently Head of Humanities at a prestigious international school, and previously Extended Essay coordinator, I bring in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of how to excel in the IB Diploma.

"My son has had several sessions with Karen Dariana as an IB business tutor and she is simply excellent. She is warm and affable, and imparts enthusiasm for the subject in an accessible manner. I had advised her ahead of time of my son's learning style, and she really listened and adjusted accordingly. ... In just a few lessons, my son has gained so much more confidence in the topic. My only regret is that I did not find her months ago!!" - IB2 Business Parent.

I followed my undergraduate studies in International Business Management with a Master of Education and Innovation through Technology. I have been working in international schools for over a decade as a Head of Department, DP CORE coordinator, Business Management, and Humanities teacher and I am an accredited IB Business Management examiner and IB Workshop Leader. I recently spent three years as the Extended Essay coordinator at my school and use this deep knowledge to guide students towards success in this core part of the Diploma. I actively incorporate the IB principles into my teaching, offering opportunities of collaboration and responsibility to students. I am always well-prepared and ready to adapt to a student's learning style so they can access and retain their learning as well as clearly demonstrate what they know.
