What students say

Was assisted very efficiently and clear communication is one the attributes of the tutor !! Can’t be more thankful

Imran K.

I recently came across IB Pros while searching for a tutor for my son, who had recently switched to IB. I was impressed at how quickly I was contacted by the IB Pros team and was connected to various tutors who had met my requirements. The tutor that we selected has been nothing but very professional and my son thoroughly enjoys the sessions. I'm looking forward to an improvement in his performance.

My experience with IB Pros was great, I had so many questions and things I was confused about such as the IA and EE, the session gave me so much motivation and strength, Ms Julia was great and provided me with so many information regarding the IA, and gave me lots of different options regarding my EE research question!!

My mom found IB pros as a help for my essays and how to study for IB classes in general. Honestly it has been a really big help for me. I have only been working with IB pros for a month or so but I can already see the improvements
