Ethan

Hi, I`m Ethan! I recently completed the IB Diploma with 38 points and I`m a Bachelor of Arts History student at the University of Warwick. I specialise in tutoring IB students in English Literature, History, Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay support, Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS), and Theatre - subjects I`ve just been through myself, so I know exactly what examiners are looking for and where students typically lose marks.

In English Language, I focus on essay structure, close textual analysis, and exam technique - particularly how to turn a solid reading of a text into the kind of precise, well-evidenced argument examiners reward under time pressure. In History, I help students build strong source-analysis skills and structure essays that balance detailed knowledge with sharp argumentation, since it`s often the analysis and structure that separate a good answer from a great one, not just the facts recalled.

I`m particularly passionate about helping students structure strong TOK essays and EEs, since these often trip people up more than the subject content itself. It`s as much about the process as the writing! I also enjoy helping with ESS`s mix of scientific and essay-based content, and bringing a practical, performance-focused approach to Theatre. My own results came from a lot of trial, error, and refining exactly this kind of thing, and I enjoy passing that on.

I`m friendly, patient, and focused on building your confidence as much as your grades. Get in touch and let`s figure out a plan that works for you.

Experience: IB Diploma, May 2026, 38 points. Achieved a 6 in English Language, History, ESS, and Theatre, a B in Theory of Knowledge, and an A in the Extended Essay.

English Language (6): Strong focus on close reading, textual analysis, and essay technique. Comfortable coaching students through unseen text analysis, comparative essays, and structuring arguments that meet IB command terms precisely.

History (6): Skilled in source evaluation, essay planning, and balancing detailed historical knowledge with sharp, exam ready argumentation. I help students move from just knowing the content to writing analysis that scores highly.

Extended Essay (A): Experienced in topic selection, research structure, referencing, and viva prep, with a particular focus on the process and structure that trips most students up.

Theory of Knowledge: Experienced in essay planning and exhibition prep, with a focus on the structure and reasoning skills that TOK specifically rewards.

ESS (6): Comfortable tutoring the subject`s blend of scientific content and essay based assessment, including case study application and structured written responses.

Theatre (6): Practical, performance focused approach covering both the practical and written/analytical components of the course.

Student Mentor, Dwight School London (2024 to 2025): Led small group mentoring sessions for younger students on wellbeing and school adjustment. Direct experience guiding students one to one outside a classroom setting.

NW7Hub Volunteer: Ran weekly technology lessons every Tuesday at Mill Hill Library’s NW7 Hub, helping members of the local community build confidence using computers, smartphones and online services. I explained technical concepts clearly, supported individuals with different levels of experience, and adapted my teaching to suit their needs. This strengthened my communication, patience and ability to explain information effectively.

Leadership: Student Council President and Investment Club President at Dwight School London. Experience organising, communicating with, and motivating groups of students.

Approach: I focus on breaking down exactly what IB examiners reward, including command terms, structure, and how to turn raw knowledge into exam ready answers, since that`s usually the gap between a good grade and a great one.

Availability: Starting at the University of Warwick this autumn. Tutoring online when needed and open, with flexible timings and weekends.
