Learn from an IB-trained examiner

Nelson Barrios, Founder of Edukko and French & Spanish specialist

I’ve spent over 15 years preparing IB Diploma students for their French and Spanish exams across the UK, Spain and the UAE. I’ve also trained and worked as an IB examiner, so I know exactly what raises a grade and what holds students back.

“Build genuine communication and speaking confidence first, then layer the exam technique that turns it into marks.”

The programme

Everything you need to lift your grade

Six blocks that cover everything the exam tests.

Themes & content review

A structured run-through of the IB themes and core content, so you catch up on anything you missed during the year.

Past-paper practice

Work through real past papers with model answers and examiner-style feedback on what gains and loses marks.

Paper 1 writing technique

Master the text types, planning and language strategies that produce a high-scoring written response under time pressure.

Paper 2 reading & vocabulary

Targeted reading comprehension drills plus a vocabulary-building system that sticks, the fastest route to comprehension marks.

Listening & the Individual Oral

Listening practice for Paper 2 plus a dedicated IO booklet, with visual-stimulus drills and speaking strategies for top oral marks.

Graded exam simulation

A full mock exam under real exam conditions, returned with an estimated grade and a clear action plan, so there are no surprises on the day.

PR
Priya R. Parent, Dubai
★★★★★

“Left my Ab Initio revision way too late and totally panicked. One month with Nelson and Paper 1 and 2 finally made sense. His booklets saved me.”
