IB Computer Science Tutoring

Why do you need an IB Computer Science tutor?

Computer Science for the IB is uniquely challenging given its emphasis on broader critical thinking. Some candidates take the course because of a genuine passion for the subject. Many others choose it because they feel unprepared for natural sciences after the integrated MYP programme and believe IB Computer Science will provide important skills for the future. While the latter is certainly true, BartyED’s IB Computer Science tutors have found that many candidates in IB Computer Science struggle, challenged by both the steep learning curve and the practical applications of the course.

In our tutors’ opinions, the IB Computer Science course is very demanding. It requires confidence in computational concepts, algorithmic thinking, and practical programming. For HL candidates, there is the additional Paper 3 which counts for 20% of the final grade, and involves an investigative response to a case study. An experienced IB Computer Science tutor can be an invaluable resource for candidates who are starting the Computer Science programme.

Regular, individualised tutoring ensures the consolidation of key first principles, such as arrays and loops. More specialised tutoring can then help to develop the deployment of polymorphism or implement abstract data types. Here’s how BartyED IB Computer Science tutors can help students with the internal assessment.

Ace your Internal Assessment with BartyED’s IB Computer Science Tutors

IB Computer Science students particularly struggle when completing the Internal Assessment which comprises 30% of the SL grade and 20% for HL. In order to secure the highest marks on this assessment, it is necessary to design a computer program to respond to a real client’s needs. Support from IB Computer Science tutors can be instrumental in improving student performance here.

BartyED’s Computer Science tutors truly understand the marking rubrics for the assessment. A targeted IB Computer Science tutoring programme with experienced tutors can thus help students include sufficiently complex code (e.g. website projects that incorporate JavaScript/PHP/SQL functionality, or programming projects that interact with an Access database). BartyED’s IB Computer Science tutors provide focussed instruction and review aiding candidates to develop as coders in preparation for future study.
