Best IB ESS tutors in the UK & online

I’m an IB Diploma graduate and former IB DP Coordinator with over a decade of international teaching experience in Singapore, Japan, and the U.S. I completed my undergraduate degree at Imperial College London and my master’s at University College London (UCL) before earning a Distinction-awarded M.Ed. in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Adelaide. Since 2017, I have served as an IB Geography Examiner, marking Internal Assessments and Paper 3 exams, and attending standardization meetings with examining heads and lead examiners.

I'm Olympia, a French and English IB tutor! I completed the IB in 2023 with 40 points, and I am now studying Politics, History, and Finance at Sciences Po Paris with a year at Cambridge. I achieved a 7 in History HL, 7 in French A SL, 7 in ESS, 6 in Economics HL, and 6 in English A HL- these are all topics that I tutor in. In our tutoring sessions, I adapt to what needs the most practice: exams, the IA, terminology, structuring essays, etc. I have been tutoring IB students for 4 years now, and I also tutor young professionals online. I am a firm believer that 7's in the IB are achievable with the right strategy and study method, which we can work on together. Outside of tutoring, I still study at university and enjoy playing tennis and rowing!

I'm Sophie, I graduated with 40 IB points in 2014. After studying at 5 universities across 3 countries (starting with Leiden University) in the Netherlands, I became a Geography and Environmental Systems and Societies teacher at a Dutch international school. I started my career as a schoolteacher in 2017, and more recently have also become a Careers Counsellor for IB students. I have tutored hundreds of students since then, mostly in maths and sciences but also in languages and of course my own exam subjects. I am great at integrating exam practice into my lessons so students can smash their exams. When I'm not tutoring, I like acting, dancing and baking.

I'm Greta, an IB graduate with 43 points who is about to finish a BSc at the London School of Economics (LSE) in International Relations and History. I achieved 7s in History HL (including all 7s on paper 1, 2, and 3), French Language and Literature HL, Environmental Systems and Society (ESS) as well as an A in TOK. I have been tutoring IB students for 3 years but I also have prior experience teaching non-IB syllabuses. I focus on helping students master the exam strategies that proved effective during my own IB experience. Additionally, I support students throughout the IA process, from topic selection to final submission. Outside of tutoring, I am a volunteer English teacher to forcibly displaced people in a refugee center.

I’m Annha, an experienced IB educator and examiner specializing in Biology (HL/SL) and Environmental Systems and Societies (HL/SL). With over 8 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless students to achieve their academic goals from earning 6s and 7s in IB exams to producing top-tier Internal Assessments (IAs) and Extended Essays (EEs) (as I work as a reviewer for Clastify as well). I hold an MPhil in Food Safety and Quality Management and a Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, and I’m a Certified IB Educator (Biology and ESS Category 2). Since becoming an IB DP teacher in 2021, I’ve also taught at the MYP level, helping students build strong scientific foundations that prepare them for the Diploma Programme and beyond. My tutoring style is student-centered and inquiry-based. I focus on simplifying complex ideas, connecting them to real-world examples, and developing core IB skills such as critical thinking, data analysis, and structured writing. I love creating interactive, visually engaging lessons that make learning science both meaningful and enjoyable. Outside the classroom, I’m deeply passionate about environmental science and sustainability, and I enjoy writing, photography, exploring nature and playing guitar. My students describe me as approachable, patient, and encouraging — a teacher who makes learning not just effective, but genuinely enjoyable.

I’m Sitwat, an experienced IB Biology and Science educator with a strong academic foundation in Zoology and Botany. I hold a Master of Education from Northwest Missouri State University and have taught in international schools across South Africa, Vietnam, Pakistan, and the UAE. This global experience has strengthened my ability to adapt to diverse curricula, learning styles, and academic expectations. I teach IB Biology (SL & HL), Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS), Chemistry, general Science, and MYP Science. Over the years, I have supported students from varied academic backgrounds, helping them build conceptual depth while refining exam performance skills. I have supervised Extended Essays and provided structured guidance for Internal Assessments, ensuring alignment with IB criteria in research design, data analysis, evaluation, and scientific communication. I also facilitate collaborative science projects that promote inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary understanding. My tutoring approach is structured, analytical, and student-centred. I begin with a focused diagnostic review to identify gaps, then break complex biological processes into clear, logical frameworks. I emphasise precise use of IB command terms, markscheme analysis, and data interpretation skills so students can convert understanding into high-scoring responses. Each session is tailored, interactive, and strategically aligned with assessment objectives. I aim to develop independent scientific thinkers who approach challenging concepts with confidence, clarity, and academic rigour.
