TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take my word for it

Mia had always struggled with Maths, so for her final year of school, we reached out to Top IB Tutors to arrange a tutor. The tutor worked closely with Mia, coordinating schedules that suited them both. The tutor was consistently punctual and provided invaluable support, helping Mia build her confidence in Maths. Mia was incredibly grateful to have this guidance throughout her final year in the IB, and the improvement in her results was clear.

I got tutors from Top IB Tutors in the final six months before my exams for Maths and Chemistry. Every session was extremely organised and professional. They helped me get organised for my exams and taught me content that I had forgotten or did not understand. I was incredibly happy with my scores in the end and eternally grateful to my tutors who helped me!

I was very determined to get a good study score for Maths AA HL. However, I needed a tutor to help me get through the IB. I had sessions weekly with my tutor from Top IB Tutors. Every week we worked through problems that I did not understand. This was super helpful for me as I felt super comfortable with any sort of question they would ask in the exam. In the end, I did super well in Maths AA HL, and I have to thank my tutor for helping me get there.

The Internal Assessment is a replication of a published psychological experiment, including hypothesis, method, results, and evaluation. It is up to 2,200 words and counts for 25% of the SL and 20% of the HL final grade. Our tutors assist in experiment selection, analysis, and scientific writing to meet IB criteria.

Paper 1 (2 hours): Short-answer and extended-response questions on the three core approaches (49 marks).

Paper 2 (1 hour): Extended response on one option (22 marks).

Paper 1 (2 hours): Same as SL (49 marks).

Our tutors train students to apply theories, write strong arguments, and practice effective time management.

Why should you get a tutor for IB Psychology?

Psychology tutors help with mastering theories, applying them to questions, and improving structured essay writing. They also assist with IA planning, data analysis, and critical evaluation. Tutoring strengthens understanding and prepares students for future study in psychology, neuroscience, or social sciences.
