Frequently asked questions

How can your TOK tutors help?

Theory of Knowledge is one of the most conceptually challenging IBDP components. You may require the help of a qualified TOK tutor to gain clarity on abstract concepts and develop practical assessment skills.  

You can count on us to master essential components of the TOK programme. Do you find the fundamental TOK concepts puzzling? Then let tutors break them down for you using accessible examples and clear explanations. We can enhance your understanding of the basics to create the necessary platform for deeper exploration, whether it is your TOK essay or research for other IB disciplines. 

Your performance in the course will be assessed based on the TOK Essay and Exhibition. With TutorsPlus, you can receive support for both. For your essay, your tutor can guide you to craft well-structured arguments, select relevant real-world examples, and develop nuanced analyses of knowledge questions. Additionally, their feedback will enable you to refine your writing and meet the specific assessment criteria. 

For the TOK exhibition, our tutors can provide assistance in selecting appropriate objects connected to your prompt and articulating these connections in your commentary.   

Last but not least, a tutor can contribute to developing your critical thinking skills essential for success in TOK and the entire Diploma Programme. They will encourage you to question assumptions, recognise diverse perspectives, consider the implications of different knowledge claims, and much more.  

How does your TOK online tutoring work?

At TutorsPlus, we are proud to deliver a dynamic one-on-one, face-to-face learning environment. We believe this approach is the most effective way to engage with the complex concepts of the Theory of Knowledge. And because our sessions take place online, you can save time for travel. Despite the distance, we ensure a high-quality learning experience comparable to in-person tutoring.  

Besides high-quality video chat and instant messaging, our digital classroom offers other valuable features.  For instance, it is possible to exchange files and share your screen. Similar to a traditional classroom, we provide an interactive whiteboard, where you and your TOK tutor can visualise concepts, share ideas, and explore different perspectives. And for added convenience, if you need to review the material, you can record and replay your session at any time. 

How can I get started with TOK tutoring?

Getting started with TOK tutoring with TutorsPlus is as easy as it gets. To begin, simply reach out to us. You can call us directly at +41 22 731 8148 or send an email to

Once you connect with us, we would like to understand your specific needs and learning goals. We’ll discuss your current understanding of TOK concepts, any areas where you feel you need extra support, and your preferred learning style. This allows us to tailor our tutoring approach to best suit your needs. We also take the time to answer any questions you may have about our tutoring services and tutors. 

During this consultation, you may request a trial session. This option provides a valuable opportunity to experience our online tutoring platform and get a firsthand feel for our teaching methods.  

Once you are confident in your tutor, we’ll work with you to create a personalised plan that addresses your individual needs and helps you achieve your TOK goals. We’re committed to providing you with the support and guidance required to excel in your TOK course.  

What qualifications do your TOK tutors have?

We have assembled a large team of experienced educators with varying backgrounds and teaching styles to support your Theory of Knowledge needs. Each tutor brings unique perspectives to this interdisciplinary subject, yet all share core qualifications that ensure exceptional teaching quality. 

Our TOK specialists hold advanced academic degrees (Bachelor’s and higher) in fields such as Philosophy, Education, Sciences, and Humanities. Additionally, each TOK tutor boasts vast teaching experience in international schools, specifically within the IB curriculum. This means they understand the TOK assessment criteria to a T and recognise what examiners look for in essays and exhibitions. Many of our tutors have served as TOK examiners themselves. This insider perspective allows them to translate those criteria into actionable strategies for success in TOK. 

Alongside impressive expertise and experience, our Theory of Knowledge tutors pride themselves on exceptional flexibility. They are able to explain complex ideas in a way that resonates with your specific learning style. Specifically, they can connect abstract TOK concepts to real-world examples, and conversely, link your personal TOK insights to relevant theories.  

Can I get help with the TOK exhibition?

Absolutely. We recognise that the TOK Exhibition is a relatively new assessment component responsible for one-third of your grade in Theory of Knowledge. We are happy to provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process.  

To begin with, our tutors can help you explore the prompt options and identify those that offer rich opportunities for knowledge analysis.  

Next, we can assist with finding appropriate objects. Our tutors will be happy to help you evaluate potential choices and select objects that best represent various aspects of your knowledge question. 

If you struggle with crafting your TOK Exhibition commentaries, we’ve got you covered as well. You can receive guidance on how to write clear explanations that emphasise your analytical thinking and knowledge analysis. 

Throughout the process of creating your TOK Exhibition, we provide constructive feedback on your drafts. We want to make sure that your work showcases an understanding of TOK principles and their application to real-world contexts as well as meets the marking criteria.  

Do you have trial TOK tutoring sessions?

Yes, we offer a trial TOK tutoring session to introduce you to our digital classroom and teaching approach before you commit to regular sessions. 

To ensure we can match you with the right tutor, we try to identify your current TOK understanding, specifically your grasp of TOK concepts, progress with writing your essay, and exhibition preparation. At the same time, we would also like to get to know how you learn best.  

If, after the trial session, you feel that a suggested TOK tutor isn’t the right fit, there’s no pressure. We are committed to finding the ideal tutor for your needs, and will happily discuss alternative options.
