My tutor, Saleh Ghoneim, clearly had an in depth understanding of the subject as well as specifically what the examiners were looking for. He was very helpful in making me understand where I could get marks. Lanterna has very qualified professionals that all seem to have a mastery when it comes to understanding what exactly the IB asks from students.

What we cover
The French B Syllabus, Broken Down
Five themes, three language skills, and an oral. Here's how French B is built, and where students most need support.
The current Language B guide, shared across French, Spanish, English and more, has been examined since May 2020. It is organised around five themes, identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organization and sharing the planet, and assesses receptive, productive and interactive skills. HL students also study a work of literature. French B is aimed at students with prior experience of the language.
