At KC Tutors, we provide personalised, high-quality tutoring designed to meet the unique needs of each student. Our approach is customised to suit your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, research interests, and the specific requirements of their IB Extended Essay.
We deliver comprehensive guidance through every stage of the Extended Essay process, including:
• Topic Selection: Helping students choose a focused, original, and researchable topic that aligns with their academic interests and the IB subject guide.
• Research Skills: Teaching effective research strategies, including how to gather and evaluate sources, conduct primary research (if applicable), and organise information.
• Structuring the Essay: Guiding students through the organisation of their essay, from creating a clear research question to developing a well-structured outline and ensuring logical progression throughout the paper.
• Critical Analysis: Assisting students in critically analysing sources, interpreting data, and constructing well-supported arguments.
• Writing the Draft: Providing ongoing feedback on writing style, argumentation, clarity, and coherence, ensuring that the essay adheres to the IB’s formal writing requirements.
• Citation and Referencing: Ensuring students follow the correct citation and referencing conventions, and guiding them through the use of citation software (e.g., Zotero or EndNote) for accurate bibliography creation.
• Final Revision: Offering in-depth support during the revision process to improve clarity, coherence, and academic style, while also ensuring that the essay fully addresses the research question and meets the IB’s assessment criteria.
In addition to this, we provide:
• Time Management: Helping students break down the tasks and deadlines for their Extended Essay to ensure steady progress and reduce stress.
• IB-Specific Guidance: Focusing on the unique requirements of the IB Extended Essay, such as the reflection process, adherence to word count, and the importance of independent research and writing.
• Proofreading and Feedback: Offering detailed feedback and revision suggestions to help students refine their essays and reach their full potential.
Our priority is to ensure that students complete a high-quality Extended Essay that demonstrates independent thinking, research capability, and academic rigor.
