Our background
IB Wave is an online tutoring platform that connects IB (International Baccalaureate) students with the best tutors, all of whom are alumni of the Diploma Programme. Founded in 2021, our aim is to help students taking the International Baccalaureate, in Spanish or English, to improve their results and maximise their preparation for the system’s official exams. We have a unique methodology and the best tools for the online tutoring of International Baccalaureate subjects.
Implications of IB Wave:
- Active participation in the development and deployment of innovative educational actions.
- On-going evaluation of the students' performance and continued feedback with the coordinators and director of IB Wave.
Our
values
Adaptability
We fully adapt to our students' needs and schedules. Our students choose when to attend classes. Tutors prepare the syllabi according to their students’ needs and lessons are taught in individual sessions.
Commitment
Our tutors' experience allows us to empathise with the students' reality and provide them support. Our commitment is to provide the best lessons designed according to the students' needs to improve their results. As former Diploma Programme students, our tutors prepare their classes aware of the necessary requirements in this demanding programme.
Dynamism
We are pioneers: the flexibility of our services is part of our methodology. We are in continuous evolution to give our IB Wave customers the best at all times. Digitisation is part of our DNA, and we have the necessary resources to make lessons stimulating.
Inside IB Wave
100% flexible, remote schedule.
Our Proposal
- Salary: €20 per hour with the possibility of growth according to the number of total hours taught in IB Wave.
- Work with the latest integrated virtual teaching tools with iPads and the Apple Pencil (if you don't have them, we make sure you can access one).
- Management of your own schedules autonomously and flexibly with the student.
- Resource folder with worksheets adapted to each course offered, and official questions classified by topic.
- Training in our methodology, so that you know what to do at all times.
How does it work?
- We have different services according to the number of hours. Each pack is designed to fulfil an academic purpose and serves as an orientation for the client or student to know the range of solutions we offer.
- Flexibility is a basic principle of our proposal. The individualised nature of our packages, the differences in the duration of each topic according to the subject, the disparities in academic level among the students, and the variety of scenarios at each stage of the academic year force an on-going adaptation to the students' needs.
- As a tutor, your criteria to assess how the hours of the package will be invested is fundamental and should be based both on the course purchased by the client, on the student's indications, on the response to the student's initial contact, and on the evaluation of the student's performance as the course progresses.
- Such precondition of flexibility implies that your preparation must be broad enough to cover different dynamics or face a very high pace of learning. This is especially important in the first lesson of the package, as you haven't met the student yet.
- Lessons do not have a predetermined duration, but they must be agreed in advance with the student.
Our team
IB Wave brings together a group of teachers of various nationalities from all over the world, who were once IB students and now have a common passion for this system and for teaching.
Most of them being young university students, they share their commitment to their students, their energy and dynamism in the classes, and their deep knowledge of the subjects they teach, as well a proactive attitude to teach the courses offered.
All tutors are committed to the IB Wave methodology, and their professional and personal circumstances are compatible with a continuous activity on our platform.
Our tutors have achieved an overall grade of 37 or more, and a minimum of 6 in the subject they teach, as well as being a native speaker or highly advanced in English if the classes are taught in that language.
