Testimonials

  • Leilani, Year 12

    ‘Hanna was my saving grace when completing my final year of the IB. English was a subject that I was the least comfortable with and I lacked the necessary confidence to succeed. From my initial sessions with her, I made more progress and learned more about the HL essay, IO and paper 1, than during the months of preparation I had independently completed. I actually ended up scoring one of the highest marks in my year for the IO, which is something I never thought possible. She is able to cater the sessions to your specific needs, irrespective of your level and, is well worth the money you invest towards improving your grades. I couldn't recommend her tutoring service enough.

  • Student, Year 12

    ‘With Hanna’s help, I was able to achieve a band 7 in English A: Literature (HL). Hanna was particularly helpful in developing a sound writing technique. She taught specific strategies which expanded upon what I learnt in school. Hanna was genuinely very knowledgeable in the ways of the IBDP and I felt confident she knew exactly what markers were looking for.’

  • Christopher, Year 12

    ‘Hanna was instrumental in helping me gain the confidence in myself which I needed in order to be able to perform well and achieve a band 7 in my final exam for English. Thanks to her skills and depth of knowledge, she was able to teach me an alternative perspective into reading and analysing texts, allowing me to grasp the understanding of authorial choices. Without a doubt, I can attribute part of my success to her guidance and teaching - filling gaps in my knowledge not covered by my class teacher.’

  • Student, Year 11-12

    ‘Hanna was an excellent English tutor for my IB Diploma in Year 11 and 12. She could always be relied upon to provide thorough feedback on written work to ensure that my writing skills were constantly improving. Hanna also ensured that I was equipped with the analytical skills to thrive under pressure when presented with unseen texts in examination conditions. Hanna is also a very honest and supportive tutor and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to maximise their results in English.’
