Our Approach to IB Education
For the last decade, we have refined and implemented an evidence-based approach to IB education, tailored to the needs of IB students
Our learning model is built on the findings of leading educational psychologists who compared a range of learning approaches to discover the most effective teaching and study methods for high-school students.
They found that the LEAST EFFECTIVE study methods included rereading, highlighting/underlining and summarising notes…yet these were the MOST POPULAR among students.
Rather the MOST EFFECTIVE learning strategies are:
Practice Testing with Feedback
Any form of testing of the learning material with feedback.
Distributed Practice
Implementing a regular schedule of practice that spreads study activities out over time.

We set out to solve this problem for IB students by:
We ONLY integrate evidence-based practices into our learning model. Based on education research and our own experience assisting hundreds of IB students, we recommend at least 2 hours of one-to-one tutoring per week for each IB subject requiring assistance.
Eliminating Low Utility Study
We provide high quality IB resources to save our students from wasting time on ineffective study practices.
Promoting Distributed Practice
We ensure regular, ongoing distributed review and practice of IB subject content with our IB tutors.
Facilitating Practice Testing
We integrate IB learning materials for practice testing with regular feedback from an IB expert within tutoring sessions.
Our Technology Driven Approach
We embrace modern education technology as a highly effective medium to facilitate high utility learning strategies for IB students.
Through our one-of-a-kind Student Portal, we provide our students with IB Resources, Study Courses and Assessment Review on-demand, supporting them both within and outside of tutoring sessions.

Alex not only provided tutoring but he was a valuable mentor throughout the entire IB journey. We highly recommend Alex, IB Solved and the team to anyone undertaking the IB course.

Alex tutored me for much of my IB journey, helping me in a variety of subjects, assignments and essays. He particularly supported me in a weaker subject of mine, maths, which ended up being one of my strongest. His diligence, meticulous guidance and encouragement made the process a whole lot easier!!
Grace Selim
Student
Alex from IB solved played an integral role improving my TOK Essay and English EE, achieving full marks in the essay (10/10) and a grade B in the EE. Alex was extremely patient when identifying the key areas of improvement and also offered a plethora of examples and useful resources that guided me through the IB. I would highly recommend Alex, IB solved to anyone undertaking the IB course.

I joined IB Solved in year 10 and I am currently a student in year 12 and it has been a big help. I have been overwhelmed by the stress of the IB and the amount of work but with the help of Alex and all other tutors they have helped not only get me better marks but nurture me into a more organised and resilient man.

I began tutoring with IBSolved near the end of year 10, and can undoubtedly say I would not have performed as well as I did without the help of both Alex and Marcus. I would 110% recommend this service to anyone looking to excel within the International Baccalaureate, as they provide the absolute best assistance when it comes to teaching content, writing IA’s, EE’s, etc.
Denis Antipas
Student
I first reached out to IB Solved in year 12 when I needed some help with my IB English Literature Written Assignment. What surprised me was how Alex Ciarroni, who was my tutor at the time, was able to immediately and seamlessly break down the complex intricacies of my text's themes, and delivered this knowledge in a concise and digestible manner. As such, I was able to achieve an outstanding external mark for this assignment. To this day, I hold IB Solved in very high regard and would recommend them to any IB student in need of academic assistance.
David Wang

Highly recommend IB Solved to all IB students. The services they provide, along with accompanying notes and exemplar resources, are of an incredibly high standard and definitely helped me during my time in the IB. All my sessions with Alex were extremely helpful and I can confidently say I would not have been able to excel without his guidance and tips. Undoubtedly the best company out there for IB tutoring.

I received tutoring from IB Solved from mid year 11 to my final exams in year 12. I was so lost within the complex intricacies of IB prior to beginning with IBsolved but Marcus and Alex helped to create an easy path to success for me through their tutoring and constant encouragement. I don’t know what I would’ve done without their help they were honestly amazing. Forever grateful!!
Nancy Faraj

I am a recent IB graduate from the class of 2021 and received tutoring from IB solved for my business IA. When I first came to Alex my IA had received a draft mark of 8/25 and was practically in turmoil. However, within a month Alex helped me revolutionise my IA and effectively restructure it entirely, enabling me to receive a final mark of 18/25 in the IA ( a band 7). His services were great and his standards were always high. IB solved provides great tutoring and I would recommend them to a friend.

IB Solved are legends! With their extent of insider knowledge and experience, they are able to provide invaluable advice, tips and tricks for how to survive and thrive in the IB - I'm so grateful to have had support from them this year, particularly Alex! The IB is undeniably a challenge, so I'd definitely recommend IB Solved for some assistance and guidance - it makes you feel much more encouraged and motivated to learn from someone who has once been in your shoes!

Absolutely loved every tutoring session with IB solved. Would not have been able to complete IB the way I did without the team. Alex was my main communicator and helper - cannot thank him enough for the effort and helpfulness he offered. I would 100% suggest this organisation to anyone who is in need of any help regarding IB + a bit of fun and laughs in between ahah! Whether it is IA's, general subject help, TOK presentations/essays - they are good at it all. Loved it. Highly recommend!!

I began tutoring with Alex halfway through year 12, it first started off with Alex helping me out with my TOK presentation and TOK essay. Alex helped me massively and I was about to achieve an A in TOK. I was very pleased with his service and I then started to get tutored for business. Before Alex, i was averaging 4’s and 5’s but with Alex’s help, i was able to achieve a band 7. Alex would also help me with maths and English as well as my EE. I was very pleased with Alex’s help and strongly recommend him as a tutor for all subjects, especially in TOK. I strongly believe that Alex has massively helped me in achieving the mark that i wanted to achieve.

Prior to receiving tutoring from IB Solved by Marcus Buvac I was close to dropping Economics as a subject as a whole as I was unprepared and lacked confidence in the subject. However, subsequent to Marcus Buvac tutoring me for SL Economics, he assisted me in gaining the knowledge, skills and confidence required to achieve a band 7, in which I achieved. I highly recommend IB Solved to anyone studying the IB.

IB tutors are excellent, especially Alex for Maths AA - HL and Lachlan for Spanish - AB. They gave practical tips, taught with technical depth and always available to advise my son as he prepared for his IB exams and assessments. Highly recommend IB Solved and their team of great tutors 👍.
Irene Julitta Ponniah
Parent
I engaged with Alex and the team at IB Solved after a difficult start to my daughters final year of school and IB. Her school had failed her and the entire IB cohort and they were falling behind. This created unnecessary levels of stress and anxiety but reaching out to IB Solved was the best decision I have ever made! The support we received was incredible and in a short span of time, with the support of her IB Solved tutors, my daughter Chloe was back on track and able to complete her final year with confidence.
I would recommend IB Solved to anyone completing the IB Diploma. It is, without any doubt, the best investment I made this year in my daughters education.
Thank you to Alex and your wonderful team of tutors for making Chloé's year a success!

Excellent tutoring, helped me a ton in Maths AASL and Physics HL right before my exams. I was struggling with Physics especially, and my tutor, Samuel, explained any topic or question I needed help with detail and still make it easy to understand.
Aarsh Lal
Student
I started this in Year 11 when I was failing maths and biology and could not get above a 3 in either subject. By the end of year 12 finals i was getting 5's and 6's. This place is amazing, and the tutors are so wonderful. If I did not go with IB tutoring I probably would not have gotten into my university course. My tutor Ravnit was the biggest help ever and I could not have done this without her.
Kassidy Duffy

IB Solved is an excellent tutoring agency, especially for those who want to boost their IB score. What I found really valuable was being able to get advice and insights from top IB students, who have experienced and learned from similar difficulties I was having. Moreover, the tutors had really flexible times, which really helped me with my busy schedule.
Evan Yiallourides

Great service for my TOK essay and English HL essay, helped me a lot to score well and certainly scored better due to the help I received in these areas. Good organisation and friendly tutors.

I have received lots of valuable resources and tips from the tutoring sessions conducted by Adam that have helped me immensely on building on my analytical skills in English SL. He has given full devotion to my academic progress in English SL and has guided me in improving my grades in this subject. I had faced many difficulties in English but within 4 months in DP1, I had improved my English marks from an IB 4 to an IB 6 with Adam’s meticulous guidance.
The insightful knowledge and IB experience that Adam has shared with me has no doubt given me guidance with assignments and assessments such as the IOC and WIT.
All the exemplars that I have received from Adam serve as a benchmark for what one should strive for in English and I couldn’t be more grateful for the number of hours Adam has dedicated towards increasing my English competency.

In a busy year 12 of IB, IBSOLVED was really extremely helpful for me. Especially when I felt lost after writing
almost 50,000 words of academic writing. They reminded me of the perfect formula to achieve consistently high scoring IAs. BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALEX FOR HELPING ME WITH MY TOK ESSAY AND EE. Not only was he helpful in giving me extremely specific feedback on my entire essay; he also guided me through text messages and was fast to respond to any questions I had on the recommendations and suggestions he made. I really recommend for any IB students to ask for help from this website.
