THE PROBLEM
You Don't Have a Spanish Problem.
You Have a Confidence Problem.
Most IB Spanish students aren't struggling because they lack ability. Whether you started this year or years ago, speaking feels exposing, grammar piles up fast, and expressing real ideas in Spanish is genuinely hard.
"I'm starting Spanish from scratch (ab initio)"
Ab initio moves fast for beginners. We build vocabulary, grammar and confidence from the ground up, at a pace that works.
"I freeze the moment I have to speak"
The Individual Oral rewards fluency under pressure — a different skill from knowing the words. We train both.
"Grammar rules never seem to stick"
Ser vs estar, the subjunctive, past tenses — we rebuild the patterns underneath so they finally click.
"The Individual Oral terrifies me"
We rehearse the visual-stimulus format until you can think and respond in Spanish with calm.
"The listening paper goes too fast"
We build your ear with graded audio and real exam timing until native pace feels normal.
"Vocabulary doesn't stay in my head"
We replace endless lists with theme-based, spaced practice that actually sticks.
WHAT IS IB SPANISH?
IB Spanish, Explained
Without the Jargon
IB Spanish is a Group 2 Language Acquisition subject offered in two routes: Spanish ab initio for beginners (SL only), and Spanish B for students with prior experience (SL and HL). Both develop speaking, listening, reading and writing around five real-world themes.
Ab initio builds practical Spanish fast, from the basics up. Spanish B goes deeper — giving opinions, comparing cultures, and analysing unfamiliar texts and audio, with HL adding two literary works.

Quick answer for students & parents
IB Spanish ab initio (SL) is for near-beginners; Spanish B (SL/HL) is for students with prior Spanish. All routes are assessed through Paper 1 (writing), Paper 2 (listening and reading) and an Individual Oral. Spanish is one of the world's most useful languages for university and beyond.

FAQ
Common Questions,
Answered
What's the difference between Spanish ab initio and Spanish B?
Spanish ab initio (SL only) is for near-beginners with little or no prior Spanish. Spanish B (SL and HL) is for students who already have a foundation, with HL adding two literary works. We tutor all three routes.
Can you tutor IB Spanish ab initio for complete beginners?
Yes — ab initio is one of our specialisms. We build vocabulary, grammar and speaking from the ground up at a pace that keeps beginners confident, not overwhelmed.
How is IB Spanish assessed?
Through two external exams — Paper 1 (writing) and Paper 2 (listening and reading) — and an Individual Oral assessed internally. We prepare you for all three.
Can you help with the Individual Oral?
Absolutely. We rehearse the visual-stimulus task, the follow-up discussion and the five themes until you can speak Spanish with confidence.
How do online Spanish lessons work?
Lessons are 1-on-1 over video call with a shared whiteboard, live conversation and real exam practice — so you're speaking and writing Spanish the whole time.
How are your Spanish tutors selected?
Every tutor is a fluent, IB-trained Spanish specialist with a proven track record. We assess language mastery, teaching ability and IB knowledge before they work with a student.
What if I need help right before exams?
We offer intensive exam-prep sessions to maximise your score in the time you have — including focused oral rehearsal and past-paper drills.
