I learn best when I develop a personal interest in what I am doing. I learned to use the essential skills of the DP as tools to explore my curiosity, learn more about the world, and express my ideas clearly. I employ this approach with my students. In the short term, this helps students improve their grades. In a long time, it turns them into people with the skills to develop new concepts and the confidence to convince the world of their value.
Introduce myself and share my relevant background. Learn a bit about the student and their IB journey to discover their strengths and growing points. Encourage the student to realize and express what they hope to get out of our session(s). Please work with the student to develop a strategy tailored to their specific goals.
