Working with a TutorsPlus Extended Essay tutor gives you a significant advantage in what can be a challenging academic journey. Our tutors are carefully selected professionals, certified teachers with extensive experience in high school education. Many hold degrees from top universities worldwide, including the UK and USA, and all possess a Bachelor’s Master’s or PhDs in their respective fields.
Our tutoring approach begins with a thorough assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to create a personalised learning plan tailored to your needs. We’ll focus on areas where you require the most support while also challenging you in your stronger areas. The result is continuous improvement and acquisition of effective learning habits.
When it comes to the tutoring process, TutorsPlus provides a dynamic online learning environment featuring interactive whiteboards, online chat, learning apps, and a wealth of digital resources. You can even record your sessions for later review.
While the IBO suggests allocating about 40 hours for the Extended Essay, the actual time needed can vary significantly depending on your topic, research approach, and writing skills. As a rule, research-intensive subjects require more time for data collection and analysis.
Typically, the initial research and topic selection takes 5-10 hours, while the detailed research and data collection is going to be around 15-25 hours. Add to this writing and revising (15-20 hours) as well as final editing and formatting (5 hours) and you will get a more realistic idea of an Extended Essay timeline.
Remember, these are estimates meaning you might need significantly more time for research or report writing and revision. Therefore, it is important to start early and keep in mind your other IB commitments. Our tutors can help you create a realistic timeline that fits your schedule and ensure you produce quality work without becoming overwhelmed.
Absolutely! We offer flexible tutoring options to suit your needs. If you’re in Switzerland, we can arrange in-person sessions at a location that works best for you. For students anywhere else in the world, our online tutoring platform brings expert guidance right to your home.
Our virtual learning environment is designed to be just as effective as face-to-face sessions. Using interactive whiteboards, real-time document sharing, and video chat, you’ll have a dynamic learning experience that mirrors in-person tutoring. You can collaborate with your tutor, brainstorm ideas, and receive immediate feedback – all of this from the comfort of your own space.
Our experienced Extended Essay tutors will be happy to guide you through every stage of the process. We start by helping you select an engaging topic within your chosen IB subject and craft a focused research question that will drive your investigation.
Throughout your Extended Essay journey, your tutor will support you in developing strong research skills and teach you how to find and evaluate reliable sources. Along with this, you can count on them to share valuable tips on how to structure your essay effectively, from a compelling introduction to a persuasive conclusion. You will be able to showcase a deep understanding of your topic as well as meet all IB formatting and documentation requirements.
If required, we can also help you complete your Reflections on Planning and Progress Form (RPPF). This is an essential component where you document your research journey and learning outcomes.
