BEFORE YOU BOOK

Understanding the IB

Two programmes. One tutor who knows both.

Middle Years Programme

The MYP runs across Grades 6 to 10. It builds inquiry skills, conceptual thinking, and academic habits before the DP begins. Many students underestimate these years. The students who do well in DP are usually the ones who have built strong foundations in MYP.

Grades 6 to 10 · Assessed through criteria-based tasks, with optional MYP eAssessment in Grade 10 · Personal Project in Grade 10 · Subjects: Maths, Sciences, Languages, Humanities

Diploma Programme

The DP runs across Grades 11 and 12. Six subjects plus the core (TOK, the Extended Essay, and CAS), and final exams. The DP is demanding. The Internal Assessment, Extended Essay, and Theory of Knowledge are unique to IB and require specific guidance that most tutors cannot give.

Grades 11 and 12 · Six subjects across SL and HL · IA, Extended Essay, and TOK · Maximum score of 45 points

The IB grading system and what top universities expect.

IB Diploma grading scale from 1 to 7 per subject, showing a maximum total of 45 points including up to 3 points from TOK and the Extended Essay
IB DP subjects are each graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Here is what each grade means and where our students land. Grade 4 is the passing mark per subject. Grades 6 and 7 are what competitive universities expect in your child’s strongest subjects. A total score of 38 or above opens doors to Oxford, Imperial, UCL, NUS, and top US universities. Uplift Academy students have achieved scores of up to 44/45, including a 7 in IB Biology.

IA, EE AND TOK

The parts of IB that most tutors skip.

The IA, Extended Essay, and TOK are not optional. Together they contribute significantly to your child’s final score and to how universities read the transcript. Uplift covers all three.

Internal Assessment

The IA is a subject-specific investigation marked by your child's teacher and moderated by the IB. It is worth roughly 20 to 30% of the final subject grade, depending on the subject and level. Most students do not know what the marking rubric actually rewards until it is too late.

Your Uplift tutor reviews the IA against the actual rubric. They help plan the investigation, structure the report, and identify where marks are being left on the table.

Extended Essay

The EE is a 4,000-word independent research essay submitted in Grade 12. Combined with TOK, it contributes up to 3 bonus points to the total DP score.

Your tutor helps choose a researchable question, build an argument, and write to the EE assessment criteria. We start in Grade 11, not the week before submission.

Theory Of Knowledge

TOK is assessed through an exhibition and a 1,600-word essay. It is unlike any other subject and confuses most students. Knowing what a strong knowledge question and argument look like makes all the difference.

Our tutors guide students through exhibition prompt selection and essay structure. We focus on what the assessment criteria actually reward, not philosophical abstraction.

THE UPLIFT EDGE

What makes us different?

The IB promise we stand behind.

Tutors who currently teach at IB schools.

Our IB tutors are not former teachers or weekend tutors. They are active international school teachers who set IAs, attend moderation sessions, and know what examiners penalise.

One tutor. Grade 6 to results day.

Your child keeps the same tutor whether they join in MYP or at the start of DP Year 1. No switches before the IA deadline. No new face two months before finals. The same person who heard your child struggle with Paper 2 in October is there for Paper 3 in May.

IA, EE, and TOK are included. Not extras.

Most tutors teach syllabus content and stop. The IA, Extended Essay, and TOK are treated as add-ons. At Uplift, these are part of every DP engagement. They contribute up to 3 bonus points and significantly affect university decisions. We treat them that way.

Indian teachers. Personal care. Every time zone.

Our tutors carry the personal investment that Indian parents recognise. The 9pm WhatsApp answer. The monthly Progress Report. The tutor who remembers what went wrong in last month's practice paper. Families in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and London feel this difference in the first month.

SUBJECT SPECIALISTS

Why Uplift Academy for IB

IB tutoring by teachers who mark IAs every year.

Uplift Academy provides 1-on-1 IB tutoring for MYP and DP students across Grades 6 to 12. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Arti Agarwal, we are the trusted IB tutoring partner for Indian diaspora families in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, London, the US, Australia, and across 15 countries. What separates our IB tutors is that they currently teach at international schools. They set internal assessments. They know the IA rubric not from a guidebook but from applying it to real student work. When your child's tutor reviews their Chemistry IA, they mark it against the same published criteria.
Many IB students come to us stuck between a 4 and a 5. They know their subject. They do not know how to show the examiner what they know. That gap is what our tutors close. We serve Indian families who hold their child's education to the highest standard. Our tutors understand that. They schedule around your time zone, answer doubts on WhatsApp, and treat your child's results as personally important to them. That is not a policy. That is just how Indian teachers work.
Founded by Dr. Arti Agarwal, MBBS Gold Medallist, King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, and Government of India (Ministry of HRD) awardee for teaching excellence. An IB Biology tutor with a medical degree is not just teaching a syllabus. She is teaching the subject from the ground up.
