Major Challenges of The IB English Program

IB English Program poses a lot of challenges to students especially in coming out of the MYP or IGCSE English to IBDP English. The necessity to compose properly structured essays within a short period of time and to read the texts thoroughly, particularly in their socio-political background, to get maximum points is one of the primary obstacles. This is where the role of IB English Coaching becomes vital. Individual tutoring by qualified and experienced IB English tutors can assist students in acquiring the skills along with the content awareness needed to succeed in this discipline. These tutors can help the students to overcome their personal weaknesses along with help them learn how to write in a formal manner by providing specialised instruction to them.

IB English Individual Oral Tutor Can Help

The Individual Oral (IO) component of the IB English Program is another significant challenge that students face. Often, students do not realize the importance of treating their IO presentation as a formal examination, which leads to unpolished and unrehearsed deliveries that do not reflect their true abilities. Our IB English tutors can provide valuable assistance in preparing students for this critical assessment by teaching them the necessary exam preparation strategies and exam-taking skills. Through formal feedback and guidance, IB English tutors can help students identify their weaknesses and score high marks in the IO.

Limited Opportunities to Formal Feedback

The other problem facing students studying the IB English is there is no time to get formal feedback provided by the teachers or tutors before they even write the major assessments. Such guidance may result in students having problems with personal issues and may have a hard time manoeuvring the curriculum complexities. But IB English tutors can assist students to overcome these challenges and build their skills, content knowledge and critical thinking skills through individual instruction. Helping students to work through these difficulties, IB English tutors can guarantee that students can reach their potential and succeed in this demanding program at Amourion, we provide the best IB English tutoring services to students worldwide and Qatar in particular. Our qualified instructors are prepared in the International Baccalaureate (IB) system and they have a track record on ensuring that students excel in this demanding subject.
