Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AP & IB tutoring
University & Results
IB Predicted Grades are often the deciding factor for university conditional offers. Our tutors focus heavily on the specific internal exams and coursework that teachers use to calculate these predictions, helping students secure the highest possible forecast for applications.
There is a distinct difference between teaching the curriculum and grading the exam. While standard IB certification helps teachers understand the content, becoming an IB Examiner requires years of vetted experience and active participation in global grading sessions. Our Examiner Tutors possess 'mark-scheme intuition'βthey don't just teach your child the material; they teach them exactly how to structure their answers to satisfy the specific criteria that examiners look for, capturing points that standard instruction often misses. For an independent analysis of IB tutoring service models, see our <a href='https://www.hackyourcourse.com/best-ib-tutoring-services-north-america/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' class='subtle-link'>2026 forensic audit</a>.
Yes. Many of our tutors (like Arjoon, Amy, and Teagen) are cross-trained in both AP and IB frameworks. This is ideal for students in "IB schools" who are self-studying for AP exams to boost their US college applications.
Absolutely. For students aiming for a 7 in HL subjects or a 5 on AP exams, we match them with our Masters or PhD-level tutors who provide depth beyond the standard textbook, preparing them for the most difficult paper questions.
IAs & Extended Essays
We strictly adhere to IB academic honesty policies. We do not write IAs for students. Instead, we act as high-level coaches: helping refine research questions, checking data analysis methods, reviewing drafts against the grading rubric, and providing feedback on structure and clarity.
Yes. TOK is often the most confusing part of the Diploma Programme. Our specialists help students deconstruct the prescribed titles, select appropriate real-world objects/examples, and formulate arguments that demonstrate the required depth of "knowledge questions."
Yes. We have fully adapted to the 2021 curriculum changes. Whether you are in Analysis & Approaches (AA) or Applications & Interpretation (AI), our tutors have specific question banks and strategies tailored to the distinct demands of each track.
Online Tutoring Experience
We use advanced collaborative whiteboards where both student and tutor write in real-time. It's often more effective than in-person because students have permanent access to all their board materials and can export them to images or PDFs anytime, creating a perfect study guide for exams.
Yes. Our tutors have access to a vast library of past papers and proprietary question banks. We assign targeted practice problems to reinforce concepts learned during the session, which the tutor reviews at the start of the next class.
The core IB curriculum (exams and IAs) is global and identical. However, most provinces, territories, and states require students to study their own local curriculum alongside IB, and taking AP courses alongside IB is very common in the US. Since all our tutors are based in North America, we understand these regional subtleties and can provide more tailored support than companies using overseas tutors.
Logistics & Scheduling
Yes. Because we have a large network of tutors across multiple time zones, we can often arrange intensive, short-term exam prep blocks on short notice to cover key concepts and exam strategies.
The "fit" is everything. If the chemistry isn't right after the first session, you are not charged for it, and we will immediately match you with a different tutor based on your feedback.
No, though we recommend it for consistency. You have full control. You can book extra sessions during exam weeks and pause during holidays. You only pay for the sessions you book.
If requested, we can communicate with classroom teachers to align our support with their specific lesson plans and areas of concern, ensuring our tutoring perfectly complements their day school instruction.
