Paula
43/45 IBPhysics HL was the subject I loved most during my IB years, and it led me to a Physics degree at the University of Groningen. Away from science I’m happiest being creative, drawing, painting or lost in a good book.
“Stay consistent and organised. A structured routine makes exam prep so much easier, and leaves room to enjoy the journey.”
It comes from truly caring: understanding each student, adapting to them, and making learning genuinely engaging.
Alya
39 IBMy favourite subject was Global Politics HL, and I went on to a dual degree in Business Administration and Laws at IE University. I’m fascinated by tech law and entrepreneurship, and I love bringing that curiosity into my teaching.
“Build a routine and a structure for every assessment, essay and exam. The more you practise it, the faster and sharper you become.”
For me, the secret is understanding and patience.
Ismael
43/45 IBPhysics HL was my strongest IB subject, so I went on to study Physics at King’s College London. When I’m not teaching you’ll find me hiking, playing flute or guitar, writing poetry or volunteering.
“Everyone tells you to be organised in higher study. As a naturally disorganised student myself, I promise it’s never emphasised enough.”
A good teacher understands what they’re delivering and, above all, actively listens to their students.
Blanca
38 IBPhysics was my favourite IB subject, and it took me to Aerospace Engineering at the University of Glasgow. Away from study I practise Muay Thai, sing in a band, and make time for music, travel and meditation.
“Success in the IB isn’t a thousand hours a day. It’s managing your time well and keeping a healthy, balanced life alongside it.”
Empathy is the secret. The best teachers put themselves in their students’ shoes, so students feel supported and stay engaged.
Roozbeh
IBMathematics was my favourite IB subject, which led me to a degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Verona. Outside academics I play piano, challenge myself at chess, and get out for football whenever I can.
“Focus on truly understanding the concepts, not memorising steps. Real understanding lets you approach any problem with confidence.”
I start from the basics, as if the student has no background, then build up gradually, so learning becomes a journey, not a hurdle.
Nadezhda
42 IBChemistry was my favourite IB subject, and I went on to study Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the Technical University of Eindhoven. Outside academics I love cooking and rock climbing.
“The material can feel overwhelming at first, but with enough practice everything falls into place. It’s about persistence and trusting the process.”
The secret is to never stop learning. Staying curious keeps education exciting for everyone.
