About Julia
I completed the IB in 2019 with 41/45 points. Since then, I have loved guiding students through the IB while simultaneously studying neuroscience and chemistry at university. Having completed the IB, I can relate to the student experience and help students achieve the highest possible grade, thanks to my extensive tutoring experience.

I like quickly grasping a student’s goals and creating a detailed plan to achieve them. I also discuss important things such as preferred learning styles and address any particular challenges a student may face.
