IB Diploma Programme (DP)
The IB Diploma is the most widely studied international qualification at Swiss international schools. With subjects across six groups, Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS requirements, students face a complex and cumulative exam load. Our tutors are degree-qualified and experienced specifically in IB DP pedagogy — including Internal Assessment guidance and exam technique for Higher Level subjects.
We cover all six subject groups and support HL and SL students equally. Particular demand in Switzerland: Maths AA, Maths AI, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, History, English A and German B.
Internal Assessment (IA) & Extended Essay (EE)
Internal Assessment (IA): structured support for IA planning, first drafts and final submissions across all IB subjects.
Extended Essay (EE): topic selection, research question refinement, structure and draft feedback. Available for all EE subject categories.
Where IB Students Go Next
The IB Diploma is the entry qualification for leading universities worldwide. In Switzerland, ETH Zürich and EPFL typically require 38+ points. UK universities — including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and Edinburgh — accept the IB as a direct equivalent to A-Levels. Our tutors understand both domestic Swiss and international university admissions criteria, and structure exam preparation in Switzerland accordingly.
