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.
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.

Very helpful, and Mr. Jacob was very polite.
Very polite, and considerate.
Jacob was extremely helpful and supportive when guiding me through my IB English oral. He maintained an enthusiastic attitude to our lessons, which relieved so much of the stress around the process. I now feel confident to finish my preparations alone. Thank you Jacob!
