The IB ab initio syllabus

Every exam component, covered.

Ab initio has its own rules — and every session is built around the exact component you're preparing for, so nothing feels disconnected from what you'll actually sit.

✍️ Paper 1 · Writing

Master the text types

Two written tasks chosen from a set of three — blogs, emails, articles and more. Clear frameworks for each text type so 70–150 words never feels like a blank page.

🎧📖 Paper 2 · Listening & Reading

Sharpen ear and eye

Regular practice with audio passages and written texts, building speed and confidence so unfamiliar vocabulary turns into educated, accurate guesses.

🗣️ Individual Oral

Speak with confidence

Low-pressure speaking practice from day one — mock orals, photo description drills, and real feedback until talking feels natural.

What I offer

Sessions built around you.

I start by assessing where you are, then build every lesson around your school's syllabus and your next assessment — no wasted time.

Hi, I'm Antony Padilla

I'm a certified Spanish teacher born in Peru, with a passion for teaching my mother tongue to students from all over the world. My certification comes from Instituto International House Mexico (IH Mexico), accredited by the prestigious Instituto Cervantes.

For the past 3 years I've focused specifically on IB Spanish ab initio — helping students strengthen their grammar foundations and prepare for mock exams across all four skills. My approach is personalized and student-centred: I start by evaluating each student's level and tailor every session to their needs.

Lessons are dynamic, structured, and judgement-free. We'll work at a pace that suits you, with clear goals and constant feedback every step of the way.

After my lessons with Antony, my performance was outstanding among my classmates. I couldn't believe how much I improved in such a short time.

★★★★★

Everything was explained clearly and tied directly to what we were doing in class. My grades went up within a term and I finally felt prepared for the IO.
