Spanish is impossible.

— and a plan that actually fits the IB syllabus.

Ab initio has its own rules — so prep should too

Every part of the course is taught with the exact exam component in mind, so nothing feels disconnected from what you'll actually sit.

Paper 1 · Listening

🎧 Train your ear

Regular practice with authentic-style audio, building speed and confidence with real accents and pacing.

Paper 2 · Reading & Writing

✍️ Master the text types

Clear frameworks for blogs, emails, and articles, plus reading strategies that turn unfamiliar vocab into educated guesses.

Individual Oral

🗣️ Speak with confidence

Low-pressure speaking practice from day one, so describing a photo or chatting with an examiner feels natural.

How we'll work together

Sessions are built around your school's syllabus, your assessment calendar, and where you're starting from.

📚 1:1 online lessons

Weekly or flexible sessions tailored to your pace, your textbook, and the topics your class is covering right now.

📝 Exam & IO preparation

Past papers, timed practice, and mock individual orals with detailed, encouraging feedback you can act on.

🏠 Homework & coursework support

Help working through assignments, written tasks, and the individual oral prep your teacher has set.

🌱 Foundations for beginners

Solid grounding in core grammar and high-frequency vocabulary, so the rest of the course builds on something steady.
