IB Diploma Tutoring

Expert support for every component of the IB Diploma, Higher Level and Standard Level subjects, Internal Assessments, Extended Essay, TOK, and exam preparation.

The IB Is Demanding, But It Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming

The International Baccalaureate Diploma is one of the most rigorous pre-university qualifications in the world. Students take six subjects across different disciplines, complete an Extended Essay, study Theory of Knowledge, and fulfil CAS requirements: all while maintaining the depth needed for top university offers.

Our tutors are graduates of Oxford, Cambridge, and other leading universities, many of whom studied the IB themselves. They understand the specific challenges of balancing breadth and depth, managing Internal Assessments alongside exam preparation, and presenting the IB effectively in university applications.

How We Help IB Students

Every session is 1-to-1, online, and focused on what the individual student needs most. That might be working through Higher Level content in depth, structuring an Internal Assessment for top marks, refining an Extended Essay argument, or building exam technique under timed conditions.

For students applying to UK universities, we also help translate IB performance into competitive UCAS applications, including personal statements and admissions test preparation.

The Core

Extended Essay, TOK & CAS Support

The three core components of the IB Diploma can be worth up to 3 bonus points, and they’re often where students lose marks unnecessarily.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

TOK asks students to reflect on the nature of knowledge itself. We help students develop strong arguments, structure their TOK essay effectively, and prepare for the exhibition. Our tutors understand what examiners reward, genuine critical thinking, not recycled arguments.

Up to 3 bonus points (combined with EE)

Extended Essay (EE)

The Extended Essay is a 4,000-word independent research project. Choosing the right topic is crucial, it should be genuinely interesting to you and scoped tightly enough to handle in depth. Our tutors help with topic selection, research methodology, structuring your argument, and academic writing conventions.

Up to 3 bonus points (combined with TOK)

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)

CAS requires students to engage in creative, physical, and service-based activities. While we don't tutor CAS directly, we can advise on meeting the requirements efficiently and reflecting on your experiences in a way that satisfies the IB criteria.

Completion required for diploma

Internal Assessment (IA) Support

Internal Assessments typically account for 20-30% of the final grade in each subject. Despite their importance, many students leave IAs too late or choose topics that are too broad.

Our tutors help students at every stage: selecting a focused and achievable topic, planning the investigation or analysis, structuring the write-up to match IB criteria, and reviewing drafts before submission. For Science IAs, we also help design experiments that are both feasible and intellectually interesting.

Exam Preparation

IB exams require a different approach from mock-based revision. Papers are set globally and follow specific assessment criteria that reward depth of understanding over surface-level recall. Our tutors teach students how to decode mark schemes, structure responses that earn full marks, and manage time effectively across multi-section papers.
