When I first came to Jamie, my Paper 1 was stuck at Level 6. But after studying with Jamie over the past year, I ultimately achieved an incredible 98% overall score in IB English A—including a perfect 20/20 in Paper 1, with the rest of my components securing a High Level 7! I think the biggest takeaway from Jamie's classes is that 'the devil is in the details.' When writing Paper 1 and Paper 2, many students tend to be too generic. Jamie helped me understand the power of dept

I felt overwhelmed by IB English initially, especially when trying to deconstruct unseen texts and build cohesive arguments under time pressure. Miss Jamie provided me a lot of support with her clear PETER-L structure and taught me a tremendous amount of techniques that contribute to synthesising a solid and meaningful argument. Her guidance regarding on how to link the author’s signature technique with effect on readers have massively improved my essay quality. I couldn’t ha

I am very grateful to Ms Jamie for teaching me both IB English Language and Literature and TOK. I only started her tutoring quite late, just before the second year of IB, and I had been struggling with how to approach both Paper 1 and Paper 2 effectively. Her lessons and teaching helped me grasp the writing techniques that were key to scoring high on the English papers. Her detailed feedback and high scoring exemplars were extremely helpful in improving my writing and buildin

As a science student, humanistic subjects weren't my strong suit, and I often felt lost when structuring English essays. Joining Miss Jamie's class gave me complete clarity on how to spend the crucial first 5 minutes of an exam and how to construct a high-scoring essay. Her detailed feedback after every practice helped me refine my techniques step by step. When I walked into the exam hall, I felt confident and calm. In the end, I secured a Level 7 in English and got accepted

What helped me most was mastering the Paper 1 writing skills. I used to struggle with organizing my thoughts, but Miss Jamie taught me how to structure my ideas logically and build compelling arguments.

"Studying with Miss Jamie over the past two years since Grade 10/11 transformed my English performance completely. In fact, my school teacher said they had never seen such rapid progress in their entire career! Ultimately, I achieved a perfect IB score of 45! Miss Jamie's exclusive analytical techniques, exemplar essays, and curated readings were invaluable. For Paper 1, she showed us how to construct unconventional, high-level arguments backed by solid rubric evidence—turnin

My IBDP English journey started extremely rough, and I didn’t know how to tackle unseen texts and annotate literature strategically. However, ever since I attended Miss Jamie’s Game-Blasting English Course, my English toolkit expanded tremendously. Miss Jamie taught me a list of literary devices which aided me in annotating unseen texts and their effects on readers. Her PETER-L writing structure has also helped me aced both Paper 1 and Paper 2, which ultimately allowed me to

I have never been really confident about my English ability when completing the IBDP program. However, since attending Miss Jamie’s Game-Blasting Summer Course, I slowly gained confidence in my writing ability. I really enjoy the warm and friendly atmosphere Jamie brings to the classroom which really motivates me to strive and openly share my opinions. I thank Jamie for equipping me with the essential literary devices and writing skills to excel in my studies. Thanks to Miss

IBDP English was a very difficult subject for me. However, Miss Jamie gave me a lot of resources and personalised feedback which helped me feel more confident in this subject. Miss Jamie is also a very engaging and supportive teacher who helped me develop a positive attitude towards IB English, which definitely attributed to my success in the final English exams. I am very grateful for all the help Miss Jamie has provided.

I started learning with Miss Jamie before IBDP even started as I felt my English skills were lacking overall in terms of writing and reading. After joining her classes, I have gradually improved and refined my Paper 1 skills through numerous practice papers, along with the various literary techniques that Miss Jamie taught, which have elevated my overall analytical skills. On top of exam preparation, Miss Jamie has also greatly supported me on preparing for the Internal Oral

Throughout my IGCSE journey, Miss Jamie was able to teach me how to structure my answers properly and effectively. With her guidance, I was able to analyse the techniques and literary devices in the passage during my exams effectively. My analytical skills significantly improved after learning her tips and tricks on how to spot and formulate my responses.

Jamie’s teaching style is very casual and interactive. She encourages us to ask questions and patiently explains to us how to answer the questions in the most effective way. Jamie also ensures that everyone can keep up with the pace so she often stops and asks us if we’re following to make sure we understand the content.

I think Miss Jamie has helped me a lot, such as reading her two helpful publications, and getting loads of useful feedback from her has assisted me in achieving a good grade in my FLE. Not only can I learn so much in her classes, but it is also fun and interactive, making me look forward to her class every week! Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ms Jamie for shaping me into who I am today.

"I lacked foundation during Year 9, especially when the Literature papers tortured me. I was pretty astonished by Miss Jamie's teaching experience and background, so I immediately contacted Alpha Education for a lesson. For First Language papers, Miss Jamie has a broad collection of online resources and past papers. Every 2-3 lessons, she will provide us with a new set of papers, while combining her personal teaching resources to enrich our understanding of the IGCSE examinat

I’ve transferred from a local school to international school and there’s a big gap in my English skills and writing skills. My mom introduced me to Miss Jamie and she has helped me increase a lot of my confidence in English in general. Miss Jamie makes me learn really efficiently in class because her teaching is really structured and straight to the point, which is also really detailed, but she also gives us a really comfortable environment to learn and to be able to ask ques

I learned from Miss Jamie mainly on how to score points/answer questions, and also her lessons were less boring and it made material more memorable.

I chose Ms. Jamie because I was struggling in English, and especially in English Literature, which I got a 5 in my mock exams. I often struggled with my analysis, finding it hard to move beyond surface-level reading and was often underdeveloped. What I found most helpful about Miss Jamie was her interactive teaching style and access to curated model answers from past students. All of which were invaluable and helped me improve my understanding of the core themes in various t

Miss Jamie encouraged me to use a wider range of literary devices in my analysis, especially poetic techniques I hadn't learned before. This helped me reduce repetition in my quotes and improve my exam scores.

I came to Miss Jamie mainly because I felt like I lacked the skills and techniques to answer in a way that the examiners are looking for, so I studied and gave it my all for my Year 11 mocks because I believed that the grade will be a great indicator for my finals which I ended up getting a high A. Of course I wanted to push myself for a few more marks and get an A* instead, but I was clueless in terms of answering techniques. So I decided to reach out to Miss Jamie. During
