Academic integrity
Ethical Support for Internal Assessments, TOK and the Extended Essay
Good support builds the student's thinking and research skills. It never replaces their assessed work.

Tutors do not write, rewrite or complete assessed work for students.
Theory of Knowledge
Support can cover knowledge questions, arguments, different perspectives, critical thinking and assessment expectations. The final exhibition and essay remain the student's own.
Official IB TOK overviewExtended Essay
Support can cover research-question refinement, planning, source evaluation, argument skills, referencing principles, time management and supervisor feedback. The tutor does not write or rewrite the essay.

IB family feedback
What IB Families Say About Combo Tutors
Feedback already held in our testimonial library, shown without adding ratings or claims to the page schema.
“My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.”
“We were looking for a tutor who truly understood the IB curriculum, not just the subject. Combo Tutors matched us with exactly that. My daughter's IB Maths HL grade improved by two levels and she felt supported every step of the way.”
“I was predicted a 4 in IB Chemistry and had basically accepted it. My tutor rewound everything to the fundamentals I had misunderstood and rebuilt from there. I ended up with a 6 in the final exam — completely beyond what I expected.”
