IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Tutoring
Struggling with IB TOK?
Our IB TOK tutors report that TOK is easily one of the hardest components of the IB Diploma: coursework is demanding and the TOK project and presentation are very difficult to earn those coveted extra marks for. TOK is enigmatic and difficult, especially as there is no standardised TOK syllabus, textbook, or teaching style.
Not only is the subject itself intellectually demanding, candidates usually do not receive adequate guidance for top marks in the TOK Presentation and Essay components. Without a IB TOK essay tutor, candidates often find themselves struggling with TOK essay writing, structure, and even content, as discussion in class is usually quite generalised. Only an experienced, expert IB TOK tutor can coach for top marks.
Additionally, TOK students must engage with complex epistemological questions but are usually not aware of this, much less how to exhibit this in an IB-friendly way. It is uniquely difficult for candidates to apply critical lenses or more rigorous philosophy to have a nuanced and complex discussion in the TOK Presentation and Essay. This is where a one-to-one IB TOK tutor comes in.
