IB Diploma
Anna-Vibeke completed the IB Diploma as a student, and she has taught for the IB Diploma since 2003, at King's College School, Wimbledon and Sevenoaks School, Kent.
More on IB English Literature →I offer individual tuition in English Literature and Theory of Knowledge for the IB Diploma. I also help students develop their skills in language and literature, in English, Swedish and Danish.
A first consultation establishes what the student can already do, what their goal is, and what needs to be achieved.
Whether the aim is significant progress over one term or steady work across two or more years, our route is tailored to the student's needs.
We practise closely reading and annotating texts, polishing written expression and revising effectively. If appropriate, homework is assigned.
I provide feedback in an agreed-upon format, verbal or written. I summarise our progress and propose the next steps.
One-to-one, online or face-to-face in the Öresund region. Small groups by arrangement.

Born to Scandinavian parents, I spent my childhood in Australia and Japan, where I earned my IB Diploma. After studies at the University of Lund in Sweden and at the Alliance Française in Paris, I completed my BA in Literature at St. Olaf College, Minnesota and briefly taught English at the UN International School in New York. From 1995–1996 I taught English at East China Normal University in Shanghai.
I certified as a teacher of Danish to immigrant adults whilst studying for my MA in Literature at the University of Copenhagen. Alongside my studies, I guided tours to China, India, Nepal and Japan, effectively teaching history, geography, culture and the arts. Then, in Italy, I taught English at a military base in Montecassino and guided tours in Rome and the Vatican.
In 2002 I moved to London, attained my Post-Graduate Certificate in Education, and was employed by King's College School, Wimbledon, to teach English and Theory of Knowledge for the IB Diploma and to establish a department of Chinese. I became an IB examiner and workshop leader, and deputy head of IB. A trained yoga teacher, I established a successful yoga programme to complement students' academic lives.
After twenty years at King's College School, I moved to Sevenoaks School, Kent, and continued teaching English Literature, Theory of Knowledge and teen yoga. I established a thriving partnership with two education centres in Laos, enabling IB students to teach English conversation online to Laotian students.
In July 2026 I returned to the university town of Lund in southern Sweden. Now working as a private tutor, I meet the needs of individual students worldwide as they develop their skills in language and literary analysis, and as they prepare for entrance exams to schools and universities.
My strengths lie in my natural ability to connect with students from a wide range of backgrounds and in supporting them to achieve to their highest potential. A teacher at heart, I look forward to working with you.
“I am beyond grateful to have had you as one of my teachers here at Sevenoaks. Although I don't plan to formally study English, you have taught me the importance of pursuing interests for the sake of academic curiosity and general happiness. You have remained unwavering in your commitment to our class and have truly inspired me with your genuine character and energy. I hope you will go on to bring quiet joy to many more students.”
“Thank you for teaching me how to structure my Paper 1 and Paper 2 essays in English Literature. In the exam, I knew how to plan my essays. I am so grateful to you!”
“Thank you for being more than a teacher for me, surpassing what is expected of you, taking the role of a mentor and a genuine inspiration to the way I wish to live my life. Do not underestimate the impact you have on others. You are an unforgettable teacher. Thank you for enabling me to grow in character and flourish.”
“Thank you so much for all the time and effort you have put into helping N prepare for the entrance exam. We truly appreciate it and are very grateful to have been put in touch with you. Your words and encouragement throughout N's journey have touched us deeply. Giving him the best support and encouragement is what matters most. We cannot thank you enough for your guidance, your patience and your incredible support for N along this journey.”
“Anna-Vibeke taught me Danish for self-study Language A, and I really appreciated her compassion and interest in my progress as a student. I immediately felt that her teaching had a hands-on approach, which was incredibly helpful to my advancement in analysing texts and writing cohesive, meaningful responses. Over the course of one year, I felt that my proficiency and ability to write in the Danish language significantly improved, and I am grateful to have had such a wonderful teacher.”
I am based in Lund, southern Sweden. For students in the Öresund area — including Copenhagen and Malmö — I welcome face-to-face lessons. I also hold lessons online.
