These Frequently Asked Questions can help answer some of the most common questions about how my IB marking and coaching service works.
Do you guarantee grades?
No, I don’t guarantee grades. My role is to provide examiner-informed feedback that helps students to align their work with assessment criteria. I can help them to improve the clarity of their writing and overall structure to meet examiner expectations. My results over years of international teaching indicate that my guidance works – but there are no promises or shortcuts.
Do you rewrite essays?
No. I do not rewrite any essays, nor do I edit student work. My feedback is given to strengthen students’ independent thinking, analysis, and evaluation. I provide the guidance they need to make improvements themselves before submitting their final work.
How many rounds of feedback or additional sessions are needed?
Usually, a single round of feedback gives the clarity and actionable steps a student needs to improve their work. If students make significant changes and wish to have these checked, that is possible at additional cost.
How quickly will I receive feedback?
You will typically receive the feedback within 48–72 hours of receiving payment for standard submissions. During peak assessment periods it will be closer to 72 hours, but I will always communicate timeframes once a submission has been received and payment has been made.
What types of work can be submitted?
The types of work to be submitted for feedback include extended response practices, draft essays for IBDP History, TOK exhibition commentaries and essays, as well as IGCSE History practice paper extended responses, source analysis feedback, and coursework guidance. I tailor all feedback to the assessment criteria for each subject to make sure each student understands how examiners award marks.
Who is this support suitable for?
This support and examiner feedback is suitable for students aiming for excellent results, including those who value examiner-informed feedback to improve their writing, and analysis and evaluation skills. Students should be prepared to apply guidance independently. This is not a volume tutoring service. My feedback is targeted support for students who want actionable, specific feedback on their work.
Is academic integrity maintained?
As a current IBDP History examiner, I will not compromise my role by providing protected IB materials. All the support I offer is fully compliant with IB and IGCSE academic integrity guidelines. The feedback I provide aims to develop the students’ skills and thinking without rewriting any of the work, predicting any grades, or using confidential materials.
When do I need to pay for the service?
To begin the service, you’ll need to complete the Contact form and upload your submission for review. I’ll then send an invoice via email for payment (via PayPal or Wise). Once payment is made, I’ll begin reviewing your document to provide feedback. No feedback will be given until the invoice has been paid.
