Testimonials

Amazing guidance and content preparation. Especially with paper 2, all of the material that we went over during class was very useful, targeted, and precise, helping a lot with building your own analysis based on strong foundations.

Y13 IB student, Beijing

I found the tutoring sessions really helpful, especially the clear feedback and strategies for improving my writing. The personalized approach made a big difference, and I’d recommend your services to anyone who wishes a BIG improvement in their grades.

Anonymous, Y13 IB student

These classes genuinely helped me so much! So well organised, and the extra resources provided such as authors intents, quote banks, or main techniques really helped make the essay writing process easier. And of course Miss O’Rourke is an amazing teacher and paid so much attention to small details which really elevated my understanding of the texts we studied!
