About Me
Aside from tutoring, I am an high-school teacher with many years of experience at some of the top international schools in both Europe and South America. As the moment I am working in Peru where I teach students towards gaining the IB Diploma in English and Economics. I am also the debate coach for the school debate team and we compete (and win) in various national and international debate events. I love travelling and photography and when I am not teaching I am busy working on my travel blog, sharing stories of my adventures trekking in the mountains or surfing in the Pacific Ocean.
Tutor Experience
I am an Edinburgh University graduate with an MA in English Literature and minor studies in Economics. I have been teaching both subjects at leading international schools in Europe and South Ameica and as a private tutor for many years. I am passionate about educating young minds and ensuring they achieve their full potential. To date I have worked as a private tutor, mentor, IB examiner, IB Workshop Facilitator and IB consultant. As a private tutor I have taught IB English A: Language and Literature; IB English A: Literature and IB Economics SL and HL. I have prepared candidates for some of the top universities in the UK and US, including Oxbridge, many of whom have been offered places at the world’s leading institutions. I continue to find innovative methods to empower students, enabling them to approach academic challenges and pursue specific goals with confidence and self-assuredness, which will allow them to obtain the grades they need to access the university of their dreams.

Jacob has been a very good English Language teacher. He has taught my daughter her English Language IGCSE exam (Y11). His methodology for working with this subject is very good. They worked on many past papers, studying deeply the different parts of the exam. He gave her very good advises to answer the questions and to produce her writing. They work on the writing part a lot and my daugther improve quickly her results and gained in selfconfidence. Jacob put some homework and gave her feedback.
He is very kind and patient and my daughter has performed very well in the exam with very good results.
Thank you very much for your effort and time. You have given my daugther the support she needed!

Gleb - Language A: Literature
Jacob really helped my son consolidate his thoughts and covered a great amount of work in the one hour. Jacob is extremely patient, flexible and very thoughtful. He has also given me great feedback as a parent.
Sonia - English
Jacob did a great job in trying to make my son think, even if he didn't want to. Jacob has exceptional patience and was able to make progress in guiding Toby through the characters and themes in Wuthering Heights.
Sonia - English
Fantastic - Jacob tailors the contents of the lessons exactly to my needs. He helps me develop my thought process by asking me questions which guide me to a deeper level of analysis. This has been very beneficial to me, as the ideas I write about are still my own, but Jacob has helped me significantly improve the level of my essays.
Victor - English
Jacob was very helpful in helping me prepare the structure of my IB English IO presentation. He was efficient with the time and provided helpful tips on the content that should be included or left out of my script. It is evident that he has experience working with IB related assignments as he was very familiar with the requirements and assessment criteria. He even provided a brief introduction meeting free of charge. All-in-all very helpful and friendly.
