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 draws on leading educational psychology research into the most effective study methods for high-school students.
Studies show the LEAST EFFECTIVE methods are rereading, highlighting and summarising — yet these are the MOST POPULAR among students.
Instead, 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.

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!!

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 👍.

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.

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.

Alex and the team are very compassionate and supportive. My brother had a fantastic experience with tutoring and got results we are all proud of. We couldn’t have done it without the support and knowledge provided by Alex and his team. Big thank you.

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!!

Alex from IB helped my son to achieve his best in IB. Alex was very patient, supportive and understood the learning gaps that my son had. 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. They provide the best support with lots of resources to share and the IB tutors are the best in Sydney !

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!

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.

Amazing Team and Exceptional Support!
Alex and his team at IB Solved provided extraordinary support and guidance during our son's final year of the IB program. The tutors were knowledgeable and deeply connected with my son, creating an environment where he felt comfortable, motivated, and fully supported.
As a parent, I truly appreciated how invested they were in keeping me informed and guiding me whenever I sought ways to help my son succeed. Their professionalism, coupled with a genuine, caring approach, made all the difference.
Despite the number of students they work with, Alex and his team manage to maintain a personalised and intimate connection that sets them apart. I would wholeheartedly recommend IB Solved to any family seeking a dedicated and compassionate tutoring team.
Thank you, Alex and the incredible team at IB Solved—5 stars all the way!

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!

My daughter worked with Natasha from IB Solved for HL English Literature and she was fantastic — organised, flexible, easy to communicate with, and incredibly supportive. Natasha helped improve my daughter’s analysis, essay structure and confidence, and truly believed in her throughout.
Alex was also wonderful — always responsive, proactive, and checked in after exams. We felt genuinely cared for and supported. Highly recommend IB Solved to any IB students.

The IB Solved team is made up of top achieving IB graduates who have scored 40+ in their IB Diploma and a Band 7 in the subjects they tutor. All our tutors have undergone training and continue to receive ongoing development throughout their time at IB Solved. They have been selected not only for their detailed knowledge of the intricacies of the IB but for their ability to teach, communicate and inspire their students.
We pride ourselves on our speed and efficiency in setting up tuition. We can set up tuition within 24 hours.
Our tutors are accomplished recent graduates who have excelled in the IB program, receiving a score of 40+ and only tutoring the subjects in which they scored the top Band 7. Not only are they highly skilled communicators, but they also have their own proven strategies that they can share with students.

At IB Solved, we understand that each student has unique needs. There is definitely no hard rule on exactly how many hours of tutoring is best for you and ultimately this will be determined together in your initial assessment with us.
However, generally we recommend at least one (but ideally two) hours per subject each week with your tutors to see significant improvements in performance. We have found that the best results come from students who not only have regular contact with their IB tutor, but also engage with the out-of-class work set by our IB experts.
At IB Solved, we pride ourselves on flexibility and understand that your child's schedule can be crazy and dynamic. However, our tutors are often dependent on their sessions as their primary source of income, so if you need to cancel a lesson, we require at least 1 hour notice. If notice is not given, our tutors reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the hourly rate.
