# Hack Your Course AP & IB Tutoring

> Hack Your Course is a North American tutoring service focused exclusively on the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. One-to-one instruction is delivered by career educators and examiners, never university students, with managed tutor matching, ongoing oversight of every session, and pay-as-you-go monthly billing with no required packages. Serving families across the United States and Canada, with regional teams for Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto.

Subjects covered include IB Math AA and AI (SL/HL), IB Chemistry, Biology and Physics (SL/HL), IB English A, IB Economics, IB Theory of Knowledge, the IB Extended Essay and Internal Assessments, the full range of AP subjects, and SSAT/SAT/ACT preparation. All tutoring is one-to-one; internal assessment and essay support is guidance and feedback only, never ghostwriting.
