Experiences of IB tutoring, understanding and progress.

Understanding and high expectations

“Amanda has been teaching my daughter Biology SL via zoom (she is in Canada and we are in the Philippines) since the start of IB and has helped her get to a 7. She is very supportive and encouraging, while staying persistent in making sure her students understand the topics. She's the perfect mix of solid academic tutoring and a kind, supportive personality.”

Clear explanations and confidence

“Amanda has a real gift for breaking down difficult themes and showing how each one fits into the big picture of the course. She also nurtured the confidence in my IB student in this complicated course, and the confidence spilled over into other courses as well.”

Trust and applying knowledge

“Amanda built a strong relationship with our son based on trust and encouragement. She focused not just on academic content, but also on helping him apply what he learned and communicate it clearly, which made a noticeable difference throughout his course. She also helped him grow in confidence, stay motivated, and see challenges as part of the learning process.”
