Match tutoring to the programme your school enters

DSE and IB use different mark schemes, IA requirements, and exam calendars — tell your tutor which pathway your child follows.

IB extended tasks need earlier planning

Internal assessments and extended essays benefit from tutor feedback across months — not only in the final week.
