Certified IB Examiners vs. Gig-Platform Tutors
Superprof, Preply, and Wyzant connect you with freelancers. Bespoke Learning pairs you with certified IB & AP educators who know the rubrics, the syllabi, and exactly how to get you the grade you need.
What Sets Bespoke Apart
Three differences that matter for IB & AP students
Certified Specialists, Not Freelancers
Every tutor is an IB/AP certified educator — many are former examiners. Not university students learning alongside your child.
AI Study Coach + Live Tutoring
24/7 AI-powered practice between sessions — essay outlines, quiz generation, and feedback curated by certified teachers.
Rubric-Driven, Results-Focused
Every session is anchored to the actual assessment criteria. Predicted grade tracking, session reports, and structured revision plans.
