PhD in English Linguistics
Hi, I’m Daxton. I know the importance of delivering critical feedback in a constructive manner. This helps students in understanding their strengths and weaknesses. I’m also proud of my multilingual talent, a skill set that allows me to connect with students from diverse backgrounds. This proficiency has been improved by my cross-cultural teaching experiences, which led to an understanding of varied cultures. I can confidently guide students with numerous needs and backgrounds.
My teaching method is centered around adaptability. I believe that no two students learn the same way. Hence, I always adapt my teaching methods to match the speed at which a student feels most comfortable. Before going into the curriculum, I invest time in assessing a student's unique learning style. This assessment is the backbone of our lessons, ensuring that every topic and concept are understood.
Daxton has helped me immensely in my IB English course. I owe my success to him. He is a decent fellow and a responsible tutor. Daxton is always ready and organized. I love to converse with him about the subject and language in itself. If you are searching for an authentic, experienced, and cheerful teacher, Daxton should be your choice.
This tutor has been late to both of my sessions. I was very disappointed.

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.
Doctorate degree in English literature
My Doctorate in English literature has taught me a lot about the subject and teaching methods. I've also taught disabled students. Plus, my participation in professional programs has allowed me to stay updated with the latest teaching techniques. My involvement in study abroad programs has given me the ability to teach a global student base.
I add gamified learning elements into my sessions. This approach not only makes lessons fun, but also helps in information retention. I strongly believe in the principle of learning by teaching others. Often, I encourage students to explain concepts to their peers or even to me. This not only reinforces their understanding, but also boosts their confidence. Every student's goal is unique, and I ensure that my teaching strategies help them achieve those goals.
I always love spending every minute studying with Mr. Finnegan. He inspires me because he has the passion of a young teacher in him. Stay blessed sir.

Technology is important in learning. Whether it's online tools, software, or apps, they improve our sessions. More importantly, I have adaptability. Every student is unique.

MPhil in American Literature
Early in my career, I got involved in a study abroad program that expanded my understanding of diverse learning styles and cultural details in language. This overseas experience deepened my teaching methods, making me more adaptable to students from various backgrounds. Moreover, I've always been keen on professional development. Regularly participating in workshops and seminars keeps me updated with the latest teaching techniques.
In my teachings, I emphasize constructive feedback. It’s essential to me that students understand not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind corrections or suggestions. This continuous dialogue makes sure they remain involved in their learning. Plus, considering the visual nature of today’s learning environment, I add visualizations and infographics in my lessons. These tools simplify complex ideas, making them more accessible and engaging. I guarantee that every lesson is impactful, resonating with their goals and current academic needs.
I’ll just say that Alfredo is a breath of fresh air in IB English. I haven’t looked at any other tutor since I got to know him. He makes me feel confident to learn.

In my 7 years of teaching, I've had the joy to work with a diverse group of students, both in-person and online. My online tutoring experience has allowed me to connect with students from different backgrounds and understand their unique challenges. I've always believed in the power of feedback. When delivering critical feedback, I ensure it’s constructive, clear, and leads to the student's growth. I believe this wealth of experience, combined with my dedication, is enough to help students excel in their English studies.
Rooted in the English language and the IB curriculum, my approach revolves around active engagement and consistent progress checks. I believe peer teaching is a valuable method. By encouraging students to explain concepts to their peers, they not only solidify their understanding, but also develop communication skills. To monitor the growth of my students, I carry out regular assessments and quizzes into our routine. These assessments serve dual purposes: they keep the students on their toes and help me identify areas that may need further reinforcement.
Even 5 stars aren’t enough for Miss Elsie. I believe she’s an icon in english. I’ve never encountered such a tutor in this subject. If all English pupils had such a tutor, no one would dislike the subject. From her study material to assigned homework, everything is on point.
I always look forward to my sessions with Elsie. Such an angel to study with.
MPhil in English
My time management skills are crucial. When guiding students through the IB curriculum, it's important to use time wisely, ensuring every topic is addressed thoroughly. I've also cultivated cultural sensitivity. As we explore the English language and its varied perspectives, recognizing and valuing diverse cultural contexts enhances our understanding. I believe this experience not only makes me an effective tutor, but also urges students to approach English studies with an open, informed mindset.
My primary goal is student independence. English, being a vast and varied subject, requires students to have confidence. To achieve this, I focus on strategies that encourage self-reliance. Equally crucial is the student-teacher partnership because learning isn't a one-way street. By emphasizing partnership and independence, I strive to make English a subject of mastery and enjoyment for every student I work with.

Relating English to real-world experiences is vital. So, I prioritize subject-related field trips, allowing students to appreciate English outside the sessions.

By letting students teach one another, they build communication skills and deepen their understanding.
