Tips by IB Online English Tutors
We are a group of highly qualified IB Online English Tutors working in some excellent IB world schools. We help students improve their grades through our Online English tutoring sessions. Here are a few tips to help you get a 7 in IB English HL/SL.
Strong Vocabulary and Grammar
IB Online English Tutors suggest that there are two fundamentals for better English
- Knowledge of words
- Ability to convert these words into sentences
Good knowledge of words comes from good Vocabulary, while the ability to convert them into sentences comes from good grammar. You must read more and more to make your Vocabulary strong. Read newspapers, magazines, books, and online articles for new words. Write all unfamiliar/new words on a paper and look for their meanings and synonyms. IB Online English Tutors advise using these new words in sentences at least once. This trick will make you remember them forever.
Now it comes to the grammar !! Reading as much as possible will also help you to improve your grammar. Besides this, you should write more to strengthen your grammar. Try to convert everything you think into sentences. Do workbooks as much as possible, especially SAT workbooks.
IB Online Tutors divide the strategy to crack the IB English exam into two steps
- Analyzing the question paper and
- Writing the response to get good grades.
IB English curriculum is mainly analysis-based. The better you analyze, the better you perform. Give enough time to read the paper. Please go through all the sections A, B, C, and D thoroughly and compare their text in your mind. Mark important steps. Keep comparing and contrasting in your mind while reading the text.
Now it comes about the actual part! Write your response/essay. Before starting to structure your essay, you should keep one thing in mind. Simple writing is the key to good writing. IB Online English Tutors suggest only using correct, relevant, and structured words in your text. Keep the following points in your mind while structuring your essay. How it comes about the actual part!! Write your response/essay.
1. What is the purpose of writing
2. Is there any theme
3. What sort of tone is used
4. What is the structure of the text

PEEL Writing Technique

Here, IB Online English Tutors recommend PEEL writing techniques to structure the whole text. Here,
- P indicates for point (make your point)
- E indicates for evidence (support your writing with examples and evidence)

Help in IB individual Oral Exams by our IB English Tutors
Individual Oral Exam is an integral part of assessment for every IB English Language and Literature student. It is held during the first semester of the first year of the IB Diploma program. So, one can find it as the first encounter with a formal IB examination. It has two parts-
- It’s a 15-minute Oral exam centered around a global issue. Students get an additional 20 minutes for preparation.
- Students present a 10-minute verbal analysis of a non-literary text and literary extract chosen by the student.
- A five-minute question-and-answer session on a common global topic with the teacher follows.
- There is no need for a comparison & contrast, unlike paper 2.
IB IO is graded internally by school teachers but moderated externally by IBO, like any other subject, such as IA. In English HL, IO has a 20% total grade weight, while SL has 30% complete grades. Therefore, you can realize the importance of these Individual Orals. We have a team of highly experienced, qualified, and skilled IB Online English Tutors who are readily available to help and support students with their IO assessment.

IBDP English Students’ Success Stories
I have a deep interest in STEM subjects, but I had to choose the IB English Language & Literature SL course. It was a nightmare for me for the entire diploma year. One of my friends referred me to IB Elite Tutor Academy for my English SL course in August 2022. It boosted my confidence and helped me get a 6 in my IBDP May 23 English exam—thanks to my teacher, Mrs Ruchi Singh, and my coordinator, Mr. Faisal.

I was really having a hard time in HL English classes at school. My Tuition teacher helped me improve my analysis skills. She also helped me with my English IO and HLE.
Management at IB Elite Tutor is also very proactive and helpful. I highly recommend their English classes. Saksham Vohra IBDP English HL student May 23
My native language isn’t English, but I chose HL English for my IB Diploma course. I took English classes at this academy continuously for one and a half years and got a 7 on my May 2023 exam. Many thanks to you, Mr Faisal, for all your help. Much appreciated.
