IB Diploma preparation at TestPrep USA, in short

What TestPrep USA offers for the IB Diploma

Live online one-to-one tutoring in 90-minute lessons. Everything is taught online, so you can join from anywhere; prices are in US dollars.

How much does IB Diploma tutoring cost?

A single 90-minute one-to-one lesson is $100. Packages bring the rate down to $95 a lesson in the 20-lesson package ($1,900).

How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. There is no separate diagnostic test for IB Diploma, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.

One-to-one or a group course?

There is no open IB Diploma group course. Bring 3 or more students together and we open a private group course for you.

Each subject is graded 1–7 and TOK and the Extended Essay add up to 3 points, for a maximum of 45. The Diploma needs at least 24 points and every pass condition met.

How IB lessons work

Lessons follow your subject guide and your school's pace, and use the IB's own past papers and assessment criteria.

First-lesson assessment

No separate diagnostic test: the first lesson assesses your level against your own recent work.

Past papers and markschemes

Lessons work from IB past-paper questions and markschemes for your syllabus, so you see how marks are awarded as well as what the content is.

Command terms and timing

Practice in reading command terms, allocating time by marks and setting out answers the way the markscheme rewards.

IA, EE and TOK supervision

One-to-one guidance on choosing a question, planning research and reviewing drafts against the IB criteria. The work stays your own.

Small groups

The Pre-IB, Mid-IB and IB Revision programs are taught in groups of at most 6 students.

Tutor matching

How does a new student start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your subjects and goals, not a lesson or a test. There is no separate diagnostic test for the IB Diploma, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.

Who are the tutors?

TestPrep USA is taught by the TestPrep Group's faculty: 188 tutors, each listed on our team page with what they teach and, where published, the year they began teaching, their degrees and the TestPrep question banks they wrote. Tutors are matched to the exam you are preparing for on the free intro call.

Do you help with the Internal Assessment, the Extended Essay and TOK?

Yes, in one-to-one supervision lessons: choosing a question, planning the research and reviewing drafts against the IB assessment criteria. The work you submit must be your own, as the IB requires. Supervision starts at $100 for a single lesson, with packages of more lessons.

Can I take one-to-one tutoring instead of a group program?

Yes. One-to-one lessons are available in every subject listed, at your pace and on your schedule, and some students combine a group program with private lessons for one subject or for the IA.

How do I choose between Math AA and Math AI?

Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches puts more weight on algebra, calculus and proof, and is the usual choice for mathematics, physics, engineering and many economics degrees. Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation puts more weight on modeling, statistics and technology, and suits many social science, business and life science courses. Check the requirements of the university courses you are considering before you choose.

What is your refund policy?

Not satisfied after your first private lesson? Full (100%) refund. Not satisfied after the first week of your group course? Full (100%) refund. No exam grade is guaranteed.
