International Baccalaureate (IB) Secondary Tutors in Palm Jumeirah

I was largely self-taught in biology because my biology teacher at school didn’t effectively teach me the subject. Vanessa's tutoring was incredibly helpful during this time. In school, I would just take notes in class, which often led to poor marks on the mock exams. Vanessa started by having me fill out a questionnaire to assess my situation and identify areas for improvement. She asked me what I wanted to work on for each session, which I found really helpful. At school, we were constantly behind schedule, and with finals approaching, I didn’t even have enough time to review all the information in Higher Level (HL) biology. Vanessa was always well-prepared for our sessions, which allowed me to learn content in just two hours—something that would have taken three weeks to cover in school. She had an excellent teaching approach that helped me grasp and retain a lot of material efficiently. Vanessa also assisted me in preparing for my exams. At school, we never completed Practice Paper 3, but Vanessa made sure I was ready. After I completed Practice Paper 3, she would carefully review the marking scheme to evaluate what I had included and what was still needed to achieve full marks. She used the same method for Paper 2 as well. Ultimately, hiring Vanessa as my tutor was the best decision I made. Thanks to her, I was able to achieve the grade I needed to get into university. I’m not sure I would have passed without her help. She is an amazing tutor, and our sessions were always enjoyable."

She's an excellent tutor who is always punctual, rarely being late, and even then, only by 1-4 minutes at most. I’ve learned a lot from her because she truly knows her subject and is passionate about it—qualities that I feel many others lack. Her teaching is engaging, though I’ll admit that my strong desire to learn plays a big part in making the experience enjoyable. If you're eager to expand your knowledge and become highly skilled, I strongly recommend her. Even for casual learners, she’s a great choice, but I especially recommend her to those with a genuine passion for learning.

Out of all of my tutors for IB, Vanessa was by far my favourite! I loved out tutor sessions because it was a mix of academics and fun. Vanessa always ensured that the topics we discussed related to everyday life and funny experiences. I would always look forward to the sessions, because it felt less like a lesson and more of a fun conversation which is what led me to remember all the content during the exam. I wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa as a tutor—not only for her exceptional teaching skills but also for her continued commitment to her former students, staying connected and offering support to us even after our time together.

Miss NMA came as a sheer blessing for me. I was grappling with Economics and Accounts and just wasn’t getting it. I had other tutors before her who convinced me that I was no good. But Miss NMA didn’t just boost my confidence; with patience and absolute belief in me, she helped me understand and score with great marks. She is truly an excellent teacher. There were days when I didn’t feel like studying, but her dedication was unwavering. She pulled me up and ensured that I was ready for the exams. I am ever thankful, and whoever chooses her as a tutor, I guarantee their success. I strongly recommend her!

I recently took classes from NMA for Grade 12 and was thoroughly impressed. She is knowledgeable and cover every topic in detail, including past papers, which really helped with exam preparation. The online classes saved me time on travel and recorded sessions were provided for flexibility . Overall, Miss Nma provided excellent support and effective teaching methods. Highly recommended

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.

Mr Abdul is very humble and well verse with the methods students need. My son Lucas got great help to improve his understanding and grades.

Nothing. His profile is incorrect, He is only available after work / evening. And could not keep his commitment for my son. Always late (Dubai excuse; traffic), or did not attend without notice and came back next day with excuse last minute travelling abroad. Now he can say that i made him wait for his last payment AED 600 for months, it is correct and i hope i teach him a lesson...

His teaching skills are great. I learnt Spanish and French very fast with him. He is very helpful and easy going. I highly recommend it to anyone.

He's very dedicated and teaches Spanish really well.She is very motivating and very helpful.
