Mid-IB Revision Courses
Online preparation for the Mid-IB programme, in a group or one-to-one
Mid-IB Revision is the 5-week group programme we built for the summer between IB 1 and IB 2: 20 live lessons of 90 minutes (30 hours) in each subject, taught online in groups of up to 6. We refresh IB 1 content before it fades, use mock papers to surface the weak areas, and get the IA projects that stall over the holidays moving again.
Quick Answer
You can enrol at any time; once the dates are published we contact you and confirm your start date together. Each subject's group runs if enough students enrol. Groups are split into morning and evening so they fit different school calendars. Students who want to push an IA forward over the summer can add 60-minute IA sessions alongside the programme. The fee is refunded if the first week does not satisfy you.

About Mid-IB Revision Courses
Mid-IB Revision is a 5-week intensive review programme that helps students consolidate IB 1 and start IB 2 strongly.
All topics in the IB 1 curriculum are reviewed. Weak areas are identified and given extra time, and preparation for IB 2 topics begins.
Support is also provided for IA projects. IAs started in IB 1 are reviewed and taken further.
Mock exams show where the student currently stands, and each student gets a study plan aimed at their target scores.
The programme runs for five weeks in June and July, in the summer between IB 1 and IB 2.
IB assessment experience
Lessons are planned with teachers who have relevant subject experience and a strong command of the IB assessment criteria. Matching is done by subject, level, the student's current standing and teacher availability.

Process & Support
Where does the course help along the way?
Measuring which topics need revising
Revising all of IB 1 to the same depth in five weeks is not possible. In the first week short mock papers measure what has actually been forgotten, and the programme is built on that measurement rather than on guesswork.
Getting stalled IAs moving
An IA left half-finished over the summer costs far more in September, when the first months of IB 2 are already full. We give those projects separate time inside the programme, aiming at least to close the question and method stages.
Formal feedback stays with your school
Approval and formal feedback on your IA come from your school supervisor; we work on the structure and the method. We say so at the start so nothing is a surprise in September.
A plan for the first month of IB 2
By the end of the programme you should be holding a study plan: which subject on which day, which deadline when. We draw that up together in the final week; a plan made at the end of summer actually holds in September.
No new content
This programme is not for getting ahead on IB 2 topics. The aim is to make IB 1 solid and close the outstanding work – which is what leaves the first months of IB 2 free for new material.

How you can take this programme
- Open group: an online class of no more than 6. The programme's standard format and the lowest cost per lesson.
- Private group: when three or more friends join together we open a closed group of just those students, at the same price as the open group. How a private group works
- One-to-one: you can take the same programme on your own. Lessons are 90 minutes at the one-to-one rate, with the pace and topic order set around you.

- A typical exam question at the end of each topic
- Closing sections left incomplete in IB 1
Moving the IA
weeks 2-4
- Establishing where each stalled project stands
- Settling the research question and method
- Preparing a draft to take to the supervisor in September
Second measurement
week 4
- A new mock on the topics revised
- Marking the gaps that did not close
- Planning the final week around them
The IB 2 plan
week 5

This framework is the course's overall outline; the details are settled around the group's needs.
How the Lessons Work
How Mid-IB Revision Courses sessions are structured
The mock decides what gets revised
Students' guesses about what they have forgotten are usually wrong: the topic they feared is intact and the one they thought was easy has gone. So we open with short mocks in the first week and build the revision list from the results.
The IA moves before the summer ends
A half-finished IA ends up running alongside new content in September and both slip. We give those projects their own sessions inside the programme, aiming to close the question and method and enter September with a draft.
We do not teach new content
These five weeks are not about getting ahead of IB 2. Once IB 1 is solid and the outstanding work is closed, the first months of IB 2 are free for new material anyway. We keep that order.
A written progress report every week
We share which topics were revised, what stage each IA is at and what comes next, in writing, every week.
Where Students Struggle
Our experienced IB teachers help you get past each of them.
Our Teaching Approach
IB-Focused Methodology
Work with teachers who know the IB assessment criteria inside out.
Where We Start
The first lesson sets the level, and the topic order follows from it.
The IA and the Exam
From the research question to the report, from past papers to mark schemes.
Past-Paper Focused
Real exam questions and mark scheme analysis.
Share before your first lesson
The information below helps the lesson plan focus on the student's real needs from the very first minutes.
- Target IB grade (e.g. 6 or 7) and exam date
- Current level: latest mock grade, predicted grade or weak topics
- School curriculum: the textbook used, IA / EE topic, deadlines
- Study schedule: lessons per week, available days and time slots
