Margarita G.

I completed the IB Diploma with 42/45 and later studied Psychology at Leiden University in the Netherlands. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students from a range of international and IB school backgrounds across Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and other countries.
My main subjects are IB Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation, Psychology, Spanish, and Russian. Having gone through the IB myself, I understand both the academic demands of the programme and the pressure students often experience alongside them. My teaching combines strong subject knowledge with a structured, exam-focused approach, while adapting lessons to the individual student’s level, learning style, and goals.

My teaching approach is highly tailored to each student. I aspire the lessons to be and feel like a space where students can ask questions openly, discuss what they are struggling with, and make mistakes without feeling additional pressure as they already get enough of that at school. I have worked with students with very different personalities, confidence levels, and academic needs, but I always reinforce structure and consistency: clear explanations, organised revision, and a strong understanding of what the IB actually expects. Past papers are a major part of my lessons, as they help students become comfortable with exam-style questions, understand marking criteria, and build a realistic picture of their current grade and what they need to do to improve it.
