Language acquisition is a requirement of the IB programme and requires all students to study one additional language. My tutoring methods give students a strong foundation to master the required receptive and productive language skills for their exam. Via online platforms, I teach students worldwide in the comfort of their homes.
Middle Years programme ( MYP) and Diploma programme (DP)
One-on-one instruction is offered from the comfort of the student´s home. This safe and conducive learning environment will equip students with the IB language acquisition required skills. Sessions are tailored to the student’s own learning needs and personal pace. Deeper learning will boost confidence and support students to reach their full IB language acquisition potential.
A slot is allocated to students and sessions take place on a regular basis throughout the year.
Students who only need occasional support can purchase tutoring packages. This gives the students the opportunity to get support when they feel they need it. These packages are particularly popular before the Individual oral assessment and to practice listening skills, but they can also be used for revisions or before exams or mocks.
School breaks are a great opportunity to rest and relax, but also a perfect time to catch up and stay on top of one’s work.
Individual classes (cover all four language skills)
Individual writing classes
Individual oral classes
Individual listening comprehension classes
Group sessions
Free level assessments
Listening comprehension
Images for orals

Reading material for reading comprehension
Vocabulary banks for each IB topic
Grammar worksheets with practice exercises and answer sheets
Giving students the best possible preparation for their final exam

Consolidating grammar
Communication and collaboration with parents are paramount. After the student’s assessment, a meeting will take place to get acquainted and discuss the student’s assessment and individual needs. Thereafter, parents will be kept in the loop and provided with regular feedback.

Classes with Ms. Bacheca have helped me not only improve my Spanish, but also feel more comfortable and confident to speak and write in Spanish. Before her lessons I was always stressed whenever I had Spanish summatives, but she has helped me feel more prepared for my exams -especially the individual oral for Spanish.

Even though the classes are online, I can always concentrate easily and access the material needed.
Madame Bacheca is genuinely the best. She is extremely committed to her students and ensures that we are well prepared for IB exams. She knows the program and syllabus very well, allowing students to know what they need to do for success. Her fun and interactive classes are something I look forward to each week!

It has been a blessing working with Ms. Hasna. She is very understanding and practical and brings everything closer to home.

Ms.Bacheca taught our son French for 3 years. She was his teacher, mentor and advocate. He not only learnt the language but became a very confident speaker. In the IB this was the one subject that he was never stressed about and his results reflected that.
Ms. Bacheca was able to help our daughter improve her French enough to enable her to obtain a 7 in her IB French course. Even though we were based in North America, she was very accommodating in terms of the times that she tutored our daughter, to allow her to maximize her study effectiveness. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Madame Bacheca is one of the greatest teachers my daughter has ever had. She always gets out of classes smiling and having learnt something new. She looks forward to having her classes and has improved her French significantly.

Madame Hasna is not just an excellent languages teacher; she is a great educator. She takes the time to understand the needs of her students, how they learn, and what is the best approach to use to guide them to fulfill their potential. She encourages her students and injects the love for languages and the commitment to learn into them. She has been teaching my daughter IB French recently and the transformation I have seen in just a couple of weeks is tremendous which is reflected in my daughter’s recent top grades.
In addition to being an excellent teacher, Madame Hasna is a humble and caring person. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning languages and driven by achieving outstanding results.

Madame Bacheca is truly the best. She helps students practice all of the required skills in order to score a 7 in IB French. I personally was able to score a 7 in all of my final French exams as a result of all the practice she assisted me with and the guidance she gave. Not only have I aced the exams, but I have truly learned how to speak, understand and engage with the target language at an advanced level.
I was relaxed and felt prepared during my Spanish exam because of all the work we did during our classes! Worked out really well for me!
I just wanted to let you know that I met my condition at Cambridge in large part due to a 7 in French. Merci beaucoup!!!!
“2% from a 7!
Going into my IB exam I felt confident having studied and practiced with Ms. Bacheca’s help and guidance. Her teaching and helpful skills helped me successfully navigate the IB exam and I couldn’t be more grateful
“Through the help of Ms. Bacheca, I was able to learn so much for my learning during the IB. Not only did I earn an amazing grade, I was also able to enjoy learning about Spanish speaking cultures and enjoy learning Spanish overall.”
7 in Spanish! I certainly wouldn’t have gotten a 7 without you. Thank you so much!
“Thank you so much Ms. Bacheca. I got my IB results, and I got a 6 in French. Thank
you for your guidance and help.
In my final Spanish IB exams, I attained a 7 – all thanks to Sra. Bacheca. She consistently believed in my ability and gave me countless resources to fully prepare me (and beyond) for my Spanish exams. Her patience and persistence pushed me to improve steadily, whether it be in my range of vocabulary or grammatical structures. When the exams came, I was able to take them confidently – knowing that Spanish had always been the subject I was the most non-confident in.
Ms Bacheca is a truly knowledgeable and experienced teacher. I started tutoring with Ms Bacheca around the middle of 11th grade and she taught me right up until the end. I received a 7 in all components of the Spanish IB course alongside full marks in the oral. None of this would have been possible without Ms Bacheca’s guidance and support alongside her myriad of resources.
Thank you for all your amazing teaching, it really helped!
“Thank you for your support throughout the course. I am very glad given where I began!
I’d like to thank Señora Bacheca for helping me advance my Spanish and achieve a 7 on my final IB exams!
Sra. Bacheca is a LEGEND!! Without her constant help, support, and love I would be no where near how prepared I was which reflected in the May exam results! I am ever so grateful for her!
7 en español!!
“I just found out I got a 6 in Spanish! Thank you so much for all your help, I couldn’t
ever have done it without you.”
I am really happy with the outcome of the exam, with 7s on all French exams! My preparation was really good and lessons with Madame Bacheca were really helpful! I felt much more confident during the listening where I previous had difficulties. My writing was also improved, with a higher level of grammatical complexity.
Madame Bacheca has been an amazing French teacher. Through her teaching methods and consistent encouragement, she has helped me achieve a 7 on my French IB exam. Each of her sessions has helped me improve various aspects of the exam, and her focus on IB-specific requirements and vocabulary allowed me to devote my study time effectively. Her classes are always well-organized and planned, and Madame Bacheca is always extremely kind and thoughtful, making me more comfortable asking questions.
“Younger me would not even be able to comprehend the calibre of French I have gotten
to. Speaking French became so much easier with your support. I would like to think that
it certainly played a part with me getting the desired grades!
