About HL Minds

We're a small team of recent IB graduates who remember exactly how the IB feels - the deadlines, the papers, and the stress. Our tutoring is practical, friendly and exam-driven. We focus on understanding first, then drill with past papers so skills stick.

Our Approach

  • Diagnose understanding and build a simple learning plan.
  • Explain concepts clearly with worked examples.
  • Practice with targeted past questions and examiner expectations.
  • IA/EE support where relevant, keeping authenticity & integrity.
  • Weekly rhythm that fits school life and exam timelines.

Why It Works

  • Relatable: We just finished the IB - strategies are fresh.

English, Spanish & History • English at University College London • The languages and the humanities are difficult to master, especially in a rigorous system like the IB. Having said that, achieving great scores in them is very doable once you understand the structure of the exams and the exact material you should study.

    How We Make Steady Progress

    Consistent beats cramming. Each lesson follows a loop: quick recap → 2–3 targeted past questions → mark-scheme feedback → next steps. We recommend:

    • Cadence: 1-2×/week normally; 2+×/week in the 6–8 weeks before mocks/exams.
    • Homework: focused question-set (or a 20–40-minute timed set) between sessions.
    • Study pack: build a shared formula sheet/glossary + exam checklists as we go.
    • Assessment rhythm: one timed paper every session every 2 weeks before an exam.
    • IA/EE: lock a research question early; milestones → outline → draft → feedback. Integrity first.

    Checklist

    • Send syllabus/option topics, exam dates, and target grade.
    • Share recent tests or coursework (with teacher comments).
    • Agree a weekly slot and preferred contact (email/WhatsApp).
    • Set up a shared folder/Doc for homework, feedback, and the formula sheet.
