From a former student
“I can confidently state that my experiences in IBDP English A with Mr. Adam were some of the best in my secondary school years. His teaching style, which not only covered a variety of plays, novels, and essays, also taught us [HL students] how to analyse and appreciate these works from a literary perspective. Even today, what I learned in these classes has been influential in the ways I write about literary topics.”
Niya, former IBDP English A student
