Major Challenges of The IB English Program

The IB English Program presents significant challenges for students, particularly in the transition from MYP or IGCSE to IBDP English. One of the main hurdles is the need to write well-structured essays within a limited timeframe and to analyze texts in detail, especially in their sociopolitical context, to score the highest mark. This is where the role of IB English tutors becomes vital. One-on-one tutoring with experienced and qualified IB English tutors can help students develop the necessary skills and content awareness to excel in this subject. By offering tailored instruction, these tutors can assist students in overcoming their individual weaknesses and mastering the art of formal writing.

IB English Individual Oral Tutor Can Help

The Individual Oral (IO) component of the IB English Program is another significant challenge that students face. Often, students do not realize the importance of treating their IO presentation as a formal examination, which leads to unpolished and unrehearsed deliveries that do not reflect their true abilities. IB English tutors can provide valuable assistance in preparing students for this critical assessment by teaching them the necessary exam preparation strategies and exam-taking skills. Through formal feedback and guidance, IB English tutors can help students identify their weaknesses and score high marks in the IO.

Limited Opportunities to Formal Feedback

Another challenge that students encounter in IB English is the limited opportunities to receive formal feedback from teachers or tutors before major assessments. This lack of guidance can lead to students struggling with individual issues and finding it difficult to navigate the complexities of the curriculum. However, IB English tutors can help students overcome these obstacles and develop their skills, content awareness, and critical thinking abilities through personalized instruction. By assisting students in navigating these challenges, IB English tutors can ensure that students achieve their full potential and succeed in this rigorous program.

Ryan never fails to break down complex problems into the simplest terms — which is so so helpful as ib math is a lot more abstract than the regular syllabus. He’s very succinct yet patient with teaching and actually takes the time to cater to my learning goals. i’m a lot more confident with math now, he fr lives up to the easy sevens name

I've had several tutors in the past, but Ryan is by far the best one I've ever had. He is very patient and takes the time to understand my individual learning style. He is also very organized and always comes prepared with a lesson plan. Thanks to Ryan, I'm now excelling in my classes and feeling much more confident in my abilities. He paces the lessons very well and helps me with the dumbest questions that I come up with. I LOVE ryan - best tutor ever 😎💖

Ryan is an outstanding tutor. He is patient, kind, and really knows how to explain difficult concepts in a way that is easy to understand. I was struggling with my IB Physics class, but Ryan's help made all the difference. He was able to break down the material into manageable parts and helped me develop strategies for solving problems. I highly recommend him and the Easy Sevens Tutoring centre!
