Our Teaching Philosophy
At IBGradeUp, we believe that every student has unique strengths, learning styles, and goals. Our approach is not one-size-fits-all; instead, we adapt our teaching methods to match each student's needs, ensuring they not only achieve their target grades but also develop a genuine understanding and love for learning.
Our Key Teaching Principles
We combine proven pedagogy with personalized attention to deliver exceptional results
Personalized Learning
We start with a comprehensive diagnostic to understand your current level, learning style, and goals. Every session is tailored to your specific needs with individual learning plans, flexible pacing, and focus on your specific challenges.
Rubric-Aligned Feedback
All our feedback is criterion-by-criterion, aligned directly to IB rubrics, so you know exactly where you stand and how to improve. Includes detailed criterion analysis, clear improvement pathways, and grade predictions with justification.
Ethical Coaching
We coach academic honesty and proper research methods. Our role is to guide and empower, not to complete work for you. No ghostwriting, citation and referencing training, and original work verification.
Iterative Improvement
Learning is a process. We provide multiple rounds of feedback, allowing you to revise and improve until you reach your target grade. Multiple revision cycles, progress tracking, and continuous refinement.
