IB EPQ tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching EPQ at IB.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification, taken alongside A-levels and worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own research question and produce a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance with a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec 7993 dominates (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (P301-P304), OCR (H856), WJEC / Eduqas and ASDAN also offer it. Tutoring is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching — research-question scoping, source evaluation, dissertation structure, methodology, viva preparation, and Production Log discipline. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover dissertation craft well. See also /levels/epq for the full breakdown.
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.
