About:
A certified teacher, I tutor English, French and Spanish, specialising particularly in IB English A (both courses), English B, Theory of Knowledge and Spanish Ab-Initio. Drawing upon extensive teaching experience in top-tier schools in North America and Europe, I offer tailored and effective online tutoring sessions. My expertise covers a wide array of IB assessments, from the Individual Oral, to the TOK Exhibition and Essay as well as Internal Assessments and Extended Essays. What sets me apart is my set of tried-and-true strategies for each assessment type. Beyond the IB, I bring to the table considerable experience in tutoring iGCSE and A Level English, French and Spanish also.
"Sebastian has been an incredible tutor for me. As soon as the IO was introduced to me, I began looking for tutors, and I really hit the nail on the head with Sebastian. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to do an excellent job on my IO as well as have a successful start to my HLE. I highly recommend Sebastian as a tutor to anyone who is looking to get to the highest band markers." - IB student
Teaching experience and approach:
I hold a BA in English Literature, a Master of Comparative literature and Hispanic studies and a PhD in Hispanic studies. My two decades of teaching experience of English, Spanish and French have furnished me with a comprehensive understanding of all procedures relating to the implementation and delivery of IBDP, IGCSE and A Level programmes. In terms of results, for example, I have a track record of my Spanish ab initio students consistently achieving 6 and 7.
In my sessions, I draw upon reliable strategies that I have developed over the course of my career. These tools are designed not just to prepare you but to instil a sense of confidence that empowers you to excel. For those tackling the HL Essay, I've designed a structured approach that starts with a text that resonates with you and ends in a high-scoring essay. Allow me to guide you in joining the ranks of students who I have helped to ace their IB assessments. I look forward to working with you soon!
