Others Tutors for International Baccalaureate (IB) in Al Barsha, Dubai

I have been a student of Miss Sondes for around 3-4 months because I desperately needed aid with my IB standard level French as I was sitting at a low score of 3-4. But during my classes with Miss Sondes, I could tell her expertise in the subject as she knew exactly where I needed to improve to drastically increase my grade as well as how I could see myself becoming a better at the language. Her classes were tailor made to ensure that I got the most out of the classes ranging from 1 on 1 sessions to group sessions that allowed insight on how others achieve good marks. As a tutor, she is a friendly person who encourages and uplifts the mood of the class so it would be a great experience, thus the classes were very enjoyable. Thanks to her, I was able to move my grade up 3 levels, and I would look nowhere but her for a French tutor.

I have been a student of Madame Sondes since the past year and a half of my IB diploma programme. I take French B SL and since I have started with Madame Sondes, I feel much more comfortable with the language and have become much more fluent. I have always struggled with speaking and doing oral presentations but with her patience and dedication, I have improved greatly and even scored a 7 in my final IB presentation. She has a kind and friendly personality and her passion has motivated me to work harder and do the best I can. Overall, a very wholesome experience!

As a graduating high school student, in preparation for University, my experience with Mme. Sondes' classes is more than expected. The most characteristic trait of her classes is the flexibility in her teachings. Aside from the detailed explanations and consistency of work done in class, she would offer additional knowledge in French cultures and knowledge. This is excellent for me as my target is the university of fine arts in Paris. In the process of preparation for exams, she's always dedicated and responsible in terms of the schedule of students. While preparing for my B1 exam last year, she emphasized on key topics and repeatedly drilled the context into me which helped me a lot during the exam. She encourages students to always speak French, strives for the better for students and more.

Ms. Sondes’ lessons are a bundle of education, excitement and challenge. She never fails to incorporate a range of activities that always leave me wanting to come back for another lesson! My French has improved tremendously throughout my two years with Ms.Sondes. I received an A* during my year 11 board exams, I am able to make conversation in French , and I am on the top of my class for French speaking. Not only have I developed a strong passion for the subject but I have also progressed in terms of conversating in French and developing confidence in my learning. I have never come across a more friendly, empowering and knowledgeable teacher before and I am very pleased with my experience!

Madam Sondes has been exceptionally supportive through my journey during IB. She has a unique way of teaching that allows me to understand the French language at a deeper level. She is also very positive when it comes to motivation. I started the year with a predicted 3 IB points out of 7 for HL French. Though my results aren't out yet, I am confident that I will be able to get a five or six as my final French IB Grade.
