English Standard & Higher Level for International Baccalaureate + English Reading, Writing, Speaking for All Levels

English SL and Higher Level for the International Baccalaureate is a rigorous course, especially for ESL students. I completed the IB with HL English and received a 7 (highest mark) in my final exam. I will be able to go over both Standard Level and Higher Level syllabuses for the course specific to the material covered in your school, and prepare you for mock and final exams. I will include essay writing skills, literary criticism and analysis, as well as vocabulary expansion techniques in my teaching. A brief overview of the key features of English SL/HL as set by the International Baccalaureate Organisation:

• Higher level study requires a minimum of 240 class hours, while standard level study requires a minimum of 150 class hours
• Students study 13 works at higher level and 9 works at standard level from a representative selection of literary forms, periods and places
• Students develop the ability to engage in close, detailed analysis of literary works, building understanding of the techniques involved in literary criticism
• The study of literary works in context is emphasised, and through the study of literature in translation the student is challenged to reflect on the role of cultural assumptions in interpretation
• Students are assessed through a combination of formal examination and oral and written coursework.
• The formal examination comprises two essay papers, one requiring the analysis of a passage of unseen literary text, and the other comparative response to a question based on two works studied
• Students also perform an oral activity presenting their analysis of two works studied
• HL students comply with an additional written coursework requirement which consists of writing a 1200 - 1500 word essay on one of the works studied

Extra information

I can teach you English for any purpose: reading, writing, and speaking at all levels.

I am happy to teach you in preparation for the IB, and if you are already enrolled in the program. You will need to bring a laptop if necessary, English dictionary, pen and paper, and your course syllabus including the key texts you are studying.

Preparation for the Academic and General Reading IELTS exam
Taking the IELTS exam can be quite challenging, even for those who have mastered English as a second language. It requires a comprehensive understanding of its various components and the specific techniques needed to excel in each part. Each individual skill of the four skills it covers needs to be focused on and approached differently; my tailored preparation program utilizes practice tests and feedback sessions to address all of the mentioned. This is where I step in to provide you with a detailed overview of the various types of questions you will encounter and how to effectively approach them to achieve your desired band score.

Erica Barja
English classes for all levels, from children to adults.
In the classes, the objective is to go deeper into all the aspects of English that are more difficult for the students, reviewing at the same time other aspects that have already been acquired so as not to forget them. Normally, the students' mistakes are due to the previous knowledge they have of Spanish, so we can remedy them with practice and continuous correction of exercises. Before starting the private classes, we will try to establish the student's personal objectives in order to shape the classes to their needs.
