NURTURING EDUCATORS
All QE tutors go through QE’s stringent 3 stage selection. First, we screen credentials for specialised tutors with proven teaching record at established schools. Next, we conduct a personal interview to ensure these candidates are likeable and effective communicators who can lead and inspire. Finally, a panel session where prospective tutors deliver a lesson to our curriculum planners.
Junior Tutors
They graduated from top IB/IGCSE schools with stellar grades, many of whom are ex QE tutees who have been cherry picked to join our teaching team. Having first hand experience in both the IB/IGCSE and QE courses, they offer invaluable support to students for effective learning and continue to share a proven formula for success.
Senior Tutors
Graduates, current, and ex school teachers with minimum 5 years experience and bachelors’ degree with top honours. Experienced and well-acquainted with teaching the IGCSE syllabus in international schools, they provide IGCSE students with a systematic approach to learning- strengthening academic foundation and developing content mastery
Examiners
IGCSE examiners who have been teaching their entire careers and consistently rank top among their colleagues. They have experience marking IGCSE papers and know exactly what examiners are looking out for. Students who need pinpoint help for exam skills, answering techniques, and focused drills, often benefit the most. Rest assured, your children will thrive under their mentorship.
