Two hours of live teaching every week across the whole academic year, following a published topic roadmap rather than whatever a student happens to bring. Taught by the same IB-experienced tutors as our one-to-one work, at roughly $55 an hour instead of $75 and up.

Where this sits

It is not a cheaper version of one-to-one tutoring. It is a different shape of support, and for a lot of families it is the better one.

From $75/hour

One-to-one tutoring

Our primary product. The right answer when a student needs targeted intervention on their own schedule.

$495/month

Year-Long Program

A structured weekly group across the full year. Lower cost, fixed schedule, complete topic roadmap.

Per cohort

Exam-prep intensives

Five-day intensives before a session. Bought alongside either of the above, not instead of them.

What a week looks like

Every class follows the same shape, so students know what they are walking into and parents know what was covered.

  1. 01

    Review

    Last week’s topic and homework, with the common errors named.

  2. 02

    Core topic

    The week’s scheduled material from the published roadmap.

  3. 03

    IB application

    Exam-style questions on it, marked against the real scheme.

  4. 04

    Preview

    A look at next week, so nobody arrives cold.

Between classes there is homework with worked solutions, a class chat moderated by your client manager, and the recording of the last session.

Five subjects, SL and HL

Each runs as its own cohort at each level. A new group opens once 3 students are placed at the same subject, level and timezone.

When classes run

One global slot to start with — Saturdays, 10:00 UK. We add slots as demand builds, rather than spreading early cohorts too thin to be useful.

How a place is confirmed

There is no buy button, deliberately. A cohort only works if the students in it are at a similar point, so we talk first.

  1. 01

    Tell us the subject and level

    Along with your timezone and where the student is now.

  2. 02

    Talk to a client manager

    They will tell you honestly whether the group or one-to-one is the better fit.

  3. 03

    Get placed

    Into a running cohort, or a forming one once 3 students match.

Questions parents ask

How is this different from one-to-one tutoring?

It is structured rather than responsive. A one-to-one tutor works on whatever a student brings that week; the Year-Long Program follows a published roadmap across 36 teaching weeks, so the whole syllabus is covered on a schedule rather than on demand. It costs less because the tutor's time is shared between up to 6 students.

How many students are in a class?

We target 4–5 and cap every cohort at 6. A new cohort opens once 3 students are placed at the same subject, level and timezone. SL and HL are always separate groups.

What if my child misses a class?

The group keeps to its schedule, so we do not run make-up classes for an individual absence. Every class is recorded and the materials and homework go out afterwards, so a missed week can be caught up before the next one.

Can we join part-way through the year?

Yes, where a place exists and the level is right. Your first month is reduced in proportion to the classes remaining in it, you commit only to the rest of that semester, and you get the earlier materials and recordings at no extra charge.

What happens between the two semesters?

January is a break in the billing — no instalment is taken. It is also when the end-of-semester review happens with the tutor and our academic team, which is where you decide whether to continue into the second semester.

Can we move to one-to-one later?

Yes. If the group turns out not to be the right fit, or a student needs targeted intervention, we will move them and adjust what you pay. Moving to one-to-one is not treated as a cancellation.
