Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

IB Tutors Seattle, powered by Hack Your Course

What makes IB Tutors Seattle different from other tutoring companies in the area?
Our entire model is built on specialization. Unlike generalist agencies that cover K-12, we focus exclusively on the IB curriculum across Seattle and the Eastside. This means our tutors are not just subject experts, but experts in the specific demands of the IB program as implemented in local schools like Chief Sealth International, Interlake, and other regional IB programs. We combine this with active management oversight and professional, vetted North American educators to deliver a fundamentally better experience for Seattle-area families.
Should I get a tutor for IB in the Seattle area?
Honestly, not every student needs a tutor for every subject. Many bright Seattle-area students excel on their own. However, the IB is uniquely demanding, and even the strongest students often seek support for specific challenges where a specialist can make a significant difference. Tutoring is most valuable for: • Mastering IAs, EEs, and TOK: These components have complex markschemes. A specialist tutor familiar with local IB programs can provide precise, markscheme-aligned guidance that classroom teachers often don't have the time to offer individually. • Exam Preparation: Targeted review of past papers and exam strategy with an expert can significantly boost confidence and scores. • Building Foundational Skills: For challenging subjects like HL Math or Physics, a tutor can solidify understanding and prevent small gaps from becoming major problems. A tutor is a strategic investment in navigating the most difficult parts of the IB, ensuring Seattle-area students earn marks that reflect their true potential.
What is your approach to using AI in tutoring?
We embrace modern tools, and AI can be incredibly effective for tasks like checking essays for grammar or getting quick, one-time help on a concept, especially if students know how to use it correctly. In fact, our tutors are encouraged to leverage AI as a productivity tool to enhance their teaching. However, AI is a tool, not a mentor. It cannot replicate the deep, personalized guidance of a specialist educator who understands the nuances of the IB markschemes and your student's unique learning style. We believe in teaching students how to use AI effectively and ethically—as a powerful assistant, not a replacement for critical thinking and genuine understanding. We highly recommend its correct use as part of a modern learning strategy.
Are your tutors actual teachers or university students?
Our tutors are vetted, North America-based professional educators. Many hold advanced degrees (M.Sc., PhD, B.Ed.) from top universities and have significant teaching experience in IB schools. We do not hire peer tutors. Our acceptance rate is highly selective (in the single digits) to ensure we only bring on elite, professional educators. Some are certified teachers and some IB certified teachers. However, no matter the tutor, you will get the highest quality of work with IB Tutors Seattle.
Can I choose or change my tutor?
Yes, you have complete flexibility. While our expertise shines in our specialist matching process—where we select the ideal educator for your student based on our deep experience with Seattle-area IB programs—you are certainly welcome to request a specific tutor. All our Seattle and Eastside families benefit from a First Session Satisfaction Guarantee. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, you will not be charged. Here is how it works with tutor selection: • When we match you with a tutor: The Satisfaction Guarantee is fully in effect. This is our recommended path, as it allows us to use our expertise to find the best long-term mentor for your student, risk-free. • When you select a specific tutor: You can absolutely request a particular tutor. In this case, the Satisfaction Guarantee may be voided. We believe in complete transparency and will clearly confirm this with you during the booking process. Our priority is to ensure there are no surprises. If at any point the match isn't working out, we are always happy to find a different tutor for you from our network. Please note: Key exclusions apply to the Satisfaction Guarantee for certain short-term engagements, such as exam preparation or essay reviews. Full details are outlined in our service contract.
How do you track and report student progress?
Our management team actively reviews session reports submitted by our tutors after each session. This allows us to monitor progress, share feedback, and proactively support families throughout the Seattle metro area. We are engaged partners in your child's success and provide continuous quality control.
Are your Google reviews legitimate?
Yes, absolutely. We are proud of our 200+ (and growing) verifiable 5-star Google Reviews from families across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We believe in full transparency, which is why we use a public platform like Google, in contrast to many agencies that display curated, non-verifiable testimonials on their own websites.
Do you serve families across the Seattle metro area?
Yes. We have extensive experience serving families throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, and surrounding communities. Our regional focus allows us to understand the nuances of local IB schools and programs, from Seattle Public Schools' IB offerings to Eastside district programs, providing a level of local context that national agencies cannot match. We serve students in all major Seattle-area school districts and beyond.
Do you offer support for both Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) subjects?
Yes. Our specialists have deep experience with the distinct requirements of both HL and SL courses across the IB curriculum. We ensure your tutor is an expert in the specific level your student is taking and familiar with how these courses are taught in Seattle-area schools.
How do you help with specific IB components like the Extended Essay (EE), Internal Assessments (IAs), and TOK?
Our instruction is precisely aligned with official IB markschemes. Our tutors are trained to teach students what actually earns marks on these critical components. We go beyond simple content review to focus on the structure, formatting, and analytical depth required by the IB to score highly on the Extended Essay, Internal Assessments, and TOK. Our experience with local IB programs helps us understand common strengths and challenges among Seattle-area students.
Do your tutors follow the most recent IB syllabus updates?
Yes. Staying current with curriculum changes is a core part of our specialist focus. Our educators are required to be up-to-date on the latest syllabus requirements, exam formats, and markscheme adjustments to provide the most accurate and effective instruction for IB students in the Seattle area.
What are your tutoring rates and packages?
We offer transparent hourly rates in US dollars and optional, discounted packages for long-term commitments. There are no hidden fees. Package hours are flexible and never expire. Please book a free consultation for the most current rates. Our prices reflect the premium quality of our tutors who are paid competitively and provided with necessary materials. We invest significantly in ensuring quality standards are met.
Are there any exceptions to the Satisfaction Guarantee?
Yes, integrity and clarity are important to us. The guarantee is designed for finding the right long-term fit and does not apply to short-term engagements like exam preparation, essay review, IA help, or EE checks, or when a client specifically requests a particular tutor.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule any session to avoid being charged. This policy applies to all sessions, including the very first one, as our professional tutors reserve that time specifically for you.
How does scheduling work across different time zones?
Once you are matched with a tutor, you will coordinate scheduling directly with them. This provides maximum flexibility to find a time that works for both your family and the educator, whether you're in the Pacific time zone or working with tutors in other regions. Our tutors are experienced in managing scheduling for busy Seattle and Eastside families.
Do you offer online or in-person tutoring?
The majority of our sessions are conducted online, allowing us to connect you with the best possible specialist tutor from our network. This is especially valuable for families who want access to top-tier IB expertise regardless of location. Online sessions for 2024-25 ensure consistent access and safety. In-person tutoring may be available in select locations; please inquire during your consultation.
How do I get started with IB Tutors Seattle?
The first step is to book a brief, no-obligation consultation with our management team. Call us at 888-717-2533 or visit hackyourcourse.com. This allows us to understand your student's specific needs so we can make the perfect specialist match from our network. A contract outlining our terms is required before the first session to ensure clarity for both parties.
