About:
A certified teacher, I have two decades of teaching experience spanning top Ivy League universities and top IB schools across Europe and North America. I specialise in English A, English B, Theory of Knowledge, Spanish Ab Initio, and French Ab Initio. I am also an IB Examiner for English and TOK and my expertise covers the Individual Oral, 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. My online students consistently achieve exceptional results across all IB assessments, with recent successes in my current school including multiple 7s in English A/B and A grades in TOK/Extended Essay.
"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
"Sebastian is an excellent English tutor. He explains concepts clearly, creates engaging activities, and is currently helping me tackle challenging IGCSE reading and writing assignments. His patient approach and structured lessons have significantly boosted my confidence in English."
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 across three continents have furnished me with a comprehensive understanding of all procedures relating to the implementation and delivery of IBDP, IGCSE and A Level programmes and how to adapt to each student's individual learning style.
In our online sessions, I adapt my approach to match your learning style - whether that's discussion-based learning, or hands-on practice with past papers. I will share tools that are designed not just to prepare you but to instill a sense of confidence that empowers you to excel. Beyond English and TOK, I bring extensive experience in teaching IB French and Spanish, both of which I speak at a native level. 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!
