About IB Internal Assessment Tutoring
Our IB Internal Assessment tutoring programme covers the Internal Assessment (IA) projects across all subjects of the IB Diploma Programme. We develop independent research and academic report writing skills. Our experienced IB teachers provide guidance suited to each subject's IA requirements.
For the science IAs (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, ESS), we systematically teach experiment design, independent and dependent variables, control variables, data collection, uncertainty calculations, graphing and error analysis. Each step is structured according to the IB assessment criteria.
The Mathematics IA is a mathematical exploration and modelling project. We provide support in choosing a research topic, selecting a mathematical method, calculations and analysis, personal engagement and reflection. Our teachers share high-scoring sample IAs.
The Economics IA portfolio consists of three commentaries. We teach the selection of a suitable news article, linking to economic theory, the use of graphs and diagrams, and writing analysis and evaluation. Guidance is provided for one article each from microeconomics, macroeconomics and international/development topics.
The Business Management IA is a research project on a real business. We provide support in business selection, research question development, primary and secondary data collection, applying analysis tools (SWOT, financial ratios, etc.) and report writing.
For the language subject IAs (English, Turkish), Individual Oral (IO) preparation is critically important. We teach extract/image selection, identifying the global issue, structuring the presentation and question-and-answer strategies. Practice presentations are carried out and feedback given.
Our service is fully personalised to the student's subjects and IA requirements. IAs make up a significant portion of the total IB grade (20-25%). Our programme builds the skills needed to achieve high scores across all IAs.
IB assessment experience
Lessons are, wherever possible, planned with teachers who have relevant subject experience and a strong command of the IB assessment criteria. For some subjects we can offer lessons with teachers who have IB Examiner experience; matching is done based on subject, level and teacher availability.

About grade boundaries: IB grade boundary ranges vary noticeably by subject, level and exam session. In some subjects the proportion needed for a 7 can range between 55–85%, so the current May/November session boundary documents should be checked separately. In our one-to-one lessons we review the student's realistic grade range together using past-session boundaries and mock results.

Academic language and citation
Thesis, evidence integration, academic tone and citation style (MLA / APA / Chicago) are chosen together.
Final check and submission
Final read-through, format check and a submission timeline aligned with school deadlines are planned together.

How One-to-One Lessons Work
The general structure of IB Internal Assessment Tutoring sessions
Starts with diagnosis
In the first session a diagnostic past paper / oral assessment clearly maps the current level and knowledge gaps.
A plan based on the target grade
A weekly lesson and study plan is made together, factoring in the student's target grade, exam date and school calendar.
Concept + problem solving
Each session has two blocks: concept consolidation and past-paper-focused problem solving.
Feedback against the IB rubric
IA, written tasks, orals and exam answers are read line by line against the IB assessment criteria, with concrete revisions suggested.
Weekly progress
A short progress summary is shared at the end of each week; the plan is revised as needed.
Recorded lesson replays
Lesson recordings can be shared on request, so students can revisit a topic during revision.
