IB Design Technology tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Design Technology at IB.
Design Technology at GCSE and A-level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas) is part design thinking, part materials and manufacturing, part NEA coursework: a substantial design-and-make project that often determines the final grade. The written paper covers materials, processes, sustainability and design history. Tutoring helps most with the NEA: scoping a viable project, iterating with evidence, and writing up to the mark scheme rather than the student's instinct. On the written side, the breadth of materials knowledge catches students out. Look for tutors who've actually marked or moderated NEAs, not just taught the theory.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
