MPhil in Linguistics and PhD in Russian Literature
Over my 26 years in tutoring, I've come to value the significance of cross-curricular knowledge. By integrating concepts across different subjects, my students have been better positioned to understand English in relation to the world around them. This perspective not only makes lessons more engaging, but also offers a richer understanding of the material. When it comes to exam preparation for the IB curriculum, my experience has given me strategies that can help students solve the most challenging questions.
My teaching approach prioritizes clear communication. This means breaking down complex concepts into understandable bits, ensuring that students grasp the core of what's being taught. But it's not just about understanding; it's about engaging with the material. That's where critical reading techniques come into play. I guide my students to not just read, but to analyze, question, and interpret texts.
Chrysta started tutoring me when only a few months were left in my IB exams. I was so nervous about English, but she made it extremely simple thanks to her expertise. I’m proud to say that I achieved my goals in exams. If you are scared or nervous about scoring good in your IB exam, hire Chrysta immediately.
Time flies with Chrysta. It's my first month with her and I have already improved so much under her guidance. Chrysta brings relevant examples, valuable study materials, feedback, and a great tutoring method every time.
Ph.D
I am specialized in online tutoring Physics to F.Sc. , BSc, BS, O-Level, A-Level (Cambridge), Edexcel A Level, and Physics and Maths for SAT Exams.
I tailor my guidance to each student's individual needs, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. I do actively listen to students, addressing their questions and concerns promptly. I provide constructive feedback, highlighting achievements and suggesting areas for improvement.
M.Phil. English Literature
I am a passionate tutor with a highly practical approach to solving problems, and I possess a logical mind to view the world through completion. I have more than 26 years of experience in tutoring and leading students. I also served as a lecturer at a university in Abu Dhabi. Also, I’m running my language academy to help worldwide non-native speakers master English speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.
I call English a skill, not just a subject. Thus, I believe in using practical activities in online sessions that allow the students to practice English themselves. I avoid using the old drilling methods. I also let my students play English games and watch movies to enjoy the blend of learning and fun at the same time.
He is really good at tutoring English. He gave me professional IELTS tutoring, because of which I scored 8 bands in each part of this exam. Thankyou Riaz!
MSc. BEd
I have taught in two of the top CBSE schools in Dubai and Sharjah for 23 years. During this time, I taught biology to senior grades and science from grades 5th to 8th. Two of my students were UAE/Gulf toppers. I am passionate about mentoring and coaching children, guiding them to excel and enjoy learning.
Utilizing reliable, time-tested pedagogical strategies, I ensure that my lessons are both easy to understand and interesting. I encourage students to become curious, independent learners while providing them with proper guidance.
MS
I have been a TEFL Certified teacher of Chemistry for 25 years. I teach Organic Chemistry, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry.
My way of teaching is straightforward and to the point. Whenever I move on to the next step, I ensure my kids do well and understand what they've learned.
Ph.D. in Political Science
Throughout the last 25 years, I have focused on teaching political science at different educational levels. I have a firm grasp of the subject thanks to my Ph.D., and I aim to pass on this knowledge to my students. I specialise in assisting students in honing their analytical and research abilities, equipping them for future academic pursuits and professional political opportunities.
I aim to inspire my students with a love for politics and government. I provide extra resources, suggest books, and engage in lively conversations about political theories and ideologies. I aim to spark a genuine interest in the subject and show its relevance to our everyday lives and society.
Dr. White's has been really kind to me throughout. She taught me politics in a week. I connected with her on a very short notice, a week before my exams. I was extremely worried about it and I could not believe that she’ss accept it and accommodate me. Moreover, she taught me so well. That week made all the difference in my preparation.
I did not quite have any takeaways from her lessons, the lessons were average.
Florence explained things so easily to me. She is a good person and a better tutor. People who want to grow in the subject of politics should take her class once.
M.Sc. in Computer Science
I have been working in the ICT field for more than 30 years. When I first started my career, I had different jobs like managing computer systems and databases. I saw how computer technology changed over time, from personal computers to cloud computing. I have been a project leader for many IT projects. I worked with different teams and faced challenges like integrating systems and dealing with cybersecurity issues.About 25 years ago, I became interested in education. I think my experience could help students with ICT. Since then, I have worked with many students, making sure they understand the basic ideas of ICT and the quickly changing technology trends.
My tutoring approach focuses on applying ICT theories, not just understanding them. My teaching style combines traditional classroom learning with practical, hands-on sessions. We can analyze a code in one class and then test how it works in a simulated environment in the next class. Because technology is always changing, I regularly update my syllabus to keep my students up to date.
We sent messages to three teachers to get ready for our son's GCSE Further ICT tests. It was hard to connect to wifi on the first one, and it didn't try to rejoin. The second one looked like it was too busy to answer, and then we got Alexander. It's going to be third time lucky for sure! From the first lesson, we knew we had made the right choice: they were friendly, skilled, and knew a lot. As our son gets ready for his last test, it's clear that his confidence has grown a lot. Thanks, Alexander.
I wish we had more time to work with the newest software, but his stories from work make every lesson interesting..
It's an honor to learn from someone with so much knowledge. Each class is an in-depth examination into the world of ICT, and each time I feel like I know more.
Masters in Economics
With 25 years of experience in teaching and administration at Dubai's most renowned schools, I've dedicated 20 years to teaching Economics. Presently, I teach Business Administration and Economics at The City School.
At the start of each lesson, I emphasize sharing objectives and giving an overview of tasks. I find using a PowerPoint presentation helps students understand concepts better and allows them to review the material later on.
MSc in geography
I achieved a gold medal in BSc (hons) and MSc Geography. I have 25 years of teaching experience in Geography O/A level, with a success story of students achieving A* and A in Cambridge international Education.
I offer guided practice and individual attention.
Bachelor of science with mathematics, physics and chemistry
I am an experienced teacher of mathematics. I have been in the teaching profession for more than 25 years. My students always do very well in their examinations as I teach mathematics by giving a clear concept of the subject matter.
I give clear and precise explanations. My approach is centred on students' needs and satisfaction.
