Looking for online English IB tutors for my teens
Posted by banana_mama7466@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 18 comments
Hi guys,
I’m new to Dubai, from England.
My twins are taking the IB this year and go to GEMS. The teachers aren’t the best and we need help. I haven’t found any good tutors here- live in Jumeirah area.
I am thinking of using some online tutoring company. I find Keystone tutors antiquated and the tutors with Crimsons aren’t very qualified.
Any recommendations?

UAE-based option that a few people here have had good results with: Ignite Training Institute does online IB English tutoring, so timezone isn't an issue. They let you do a free session first before committing, which is worth knowing.

try Woog education. They specialise in IB English only. We have been using them for last 2 years and they are top tier. You pay more but their tutors are actual IB examiners and international school teachers not random freelancers.

Ty so much for this ! My teen had his second lesson with Woog and their onboarding and tutors are amazing! They have a whole system on teaching IB English and even real examiners and international school teachers. I’m impressed and definitely recommend to everyone! One happy mama!

It’s IB specific. You have experience with that?

italki is by far your best bet, there are multiple teachers to choose from and you're not tied to any type of sub

Isn’t that for English as a second language? I’m looking for IB literature 😅
