About

This course covers all major IB MYP Spanish units (Years 6–10), including topics such as Medio ambiente (environment), Redes sociales (social media), and Costumbres y tradiciones (customs and traditions). Sessions will be tailored to learners’ levels, with a stronger focus on MYP Years 4 and 5, as their board assessments are approaching. Students will work on criterions A–D, practice with past papers, and receive individualized oral preparation. I’ll also share tips and strategies to master listening, reading, and writing tasks, based on the proven methods I’ve personally used to succeed in IB Spanish.

Hi! I’m Shravya, a passionate and academically driven student who loves helping others learn and grow. I’ve always enjoyed diving deep into subjects like biology, chemistry, geography, psychology, and math, and now I’m excited to share that passion with others as a tutor. I was inspired to join Schoolhouse after being recommended by a peer and my college counselor, both of whom recognized my dedication to academics and mentorship. I’m here to create a positive, engaging, and supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance is mandatory unless there’s a genuine reason for absence. If you’re unable to attend a class, please inform me in advance (at least 12 hours).

Homework is optional, but all in-class tasks must be completed. If we run out of time during the session, you may email your completed work to me on the same day.

Even if I’ve already shared the topic in advance and it’s something you’re familiar with, I still recommend attending — I often share spontaneous tips, tricks, and exam insights while teaching.

If you choose not to attend for this specific reason, please let me know clearly beforehand. I can then share notes, expectations, and coverage details, and guide you on how to catch up later if needed.
