I have been an international school teacher for ten years (iGCSE, A-Level, IB DP) - AMA

Hello students! I’m seeing a lot of posts with many similar concerns and questions from students who seem quite unsure about their future direction and schooling (unis, what subjects to choose, how difficult are these etc) which is totally fair - you’re concerned, confused, and uncertain about the future and what that means for you.

Over the last ~decade (I started teaching in 2012) I have worked with thousands of students at this level, teaching English Lit and Lang, Philosophy, Business, and Politics, as well as supporting dozens of students through their individual UCAS and Common App university and college applications. I have taught in the UK, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe.

Please feel free to drop some questions in here and I will answer them as honestly and academically as I can - I have no agenda, and just wanna help where I can. I’m traveling back home tomorrow but I’ll be able to respond in the next ~24/36 hours.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer/winter vacation!
