Who are the tutors for IB Diploma?
Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in IB Diploma. We match you with someone who fits your child's level, goals, and schedule. All tutors are vetted and supported by Global Tutors. You can see tutor profiles and specialisms when you search so you choose someone aligned to your child's curriculum and subject.
How are IB Diploma sessions delivered?
Sessions are delivered on our interactive online learning platform. Your child can learn from home or anywhere with a stable internet connection. We use a dedicated platform designed for one-to-one learning so your child can focus on the lesson. Your child will need a device with a camera and microphone; many students use a laptop or tablet. No special software is required beyond the link we send you.
How does IB Diploma tutoring align with the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma Programme?
Our tutors are familiar with the DP curriculum: the six subject groups (studies in language and literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics, the arts) and the core (TOK, Extended Essay, CAS). We align teaching to your subject guide and assessment criteria and use past papers, mark schemes, and examiner reports so your child's preparation matches what the IB expects. We can support subject content, internal assessments, and exam technique.
How do I get matched with an IB Diploma tutor?
We hand pick the best tutor for your child's needs. Tell us your child's subject, level, curriculum (e.g. IB (International Baccalaureate), Cambridge, IEB), and goals (e.g. exam prep, coursework help, or general support). We recommend a tutor and you book your child's first lesson. If the fit is not right, our Fit-First Guarantee lets you request a replacement so you can try another tutor for your child at no extra cost.
What if the first IB Diploma tutor is not the right fit?
We offer a Fit-First Guarantee: if your child's first lesson is not the right match, we'll replace your child's tutor - no questions asked. The replacement must be for the same subject and curriculum. This way you can focus on finding the right tutor without worrying about commitment after one session.
Do you help with IB Diploma Internal Assessments (IAs)?
Yes. We help with planning, structure, methodology, and feedback on drafts. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student. We explain the criteria and how to improve your analysis and presentation so your child can submit with confidence. Proper citation and academic integrity are important; we guide your child on that too.
When are IB Diploma exams and how is the grade determined?
IB exams are held in May and November. Subject grades usually depend on final exams (often 70-80% of the grade) and internal assessment (20-30%). Each subject is graded 1-7; your child needs a minimum total of 24 points (and other diploma conditions) to pass. Our tutors help your child prepare for both the exam and IA components.
Can I change IB Diploma session times?
Yes. Sessions are scheduled around your availability. You can arrange regular weekly slots or book ad-hoc lessons depending on your package and tutor availability. Many students have a fixed time each week; others prefer to book as they go, especially during exam revision.
Do you offer group sessions for IB Diploma?
Our standard offering is one-to-one tutoring so that sessions are tailored to your child. If you are interested in small-group support for your child (e.g. siblings or friends), contact us and we can discuss options.
Can you help with Theory of Knowledge (TOK) or the Extended Essay alongside IB Diploma?
We have tutors who can support TOK essays and presentations and Extended Essay (the 4,000-word independent research paper) supervision in line with IB rules. We help with structure, argument, and clarity rather than writing the work for your child. If your child needs subject-specific EE support (e.g. in History or Biology), we can align that with your subject tutor.
