IB ESS Tutoring with Romina

Students often need additional help when several scientific, environmental and social perspectives need to be considered together.

Romina can work individually with students on areas they are finding difficult in class and help them identify where misunderstandings or gaps have developed.

Lessons can focus on:

• Reviewing school material
• Clarifying concepts
• Working through questions
• Connecting different areas of the course
• Improving the use of scientific terminology
• Interpreting information and evidence
• Preparing for upcoming school assessments
• Organizing revision

Rather than replacing the student’s school course, tutoring provides focused one-to-one support around the areas where the student needs it most.

Internal Assessment Support

Romina has experience guiding IB students through their Internal Assessments and understands that the challenge is often not only carrying out the investigation, but also organizing the process from beginning to end.

She can help students with:

• Exploring possible areas of investigation
• Narrowing an initial idea
• Developing a manageable research question
• Planning the investigation
• Organizing the different stages of the work
• Reviewing the use of evidence and data
• Identifying areas that require further development
• Planning revisions
• Managing submission deadlines

Her role is to guide the student through the process while ensuring that the research, analysis and final work remain the student’s own.

Extended Essay Support

Romina also has experience supporting students during the Extended Essay process.

A long research project can become difficult to manage when students have to balance it with six IB subjects, Internal Assessments, TOK, CAS and school deadlines.

Romina can help students:

• Explore possible research areas
• Refine a topic
• Develop a focused research question
• Break the project into manageable stages
• Establish realistic deadlines
• Organize research and evidence
• Maintain a clear direction
• Respond constructively to feedback
• Plan revisions
• Keep the project moving toward completion

The objective is to help students develop a structured research process rather than leaving major parts of the essay until the final weeks before submission.

Planning and Academic Organization

Romina’s experience with IA and Extended Essay supervision also allows her to support students who need help with the organizational side of the IB Diploma.

Students may know what they are expected to complete but still struggle to decide what to work on first or how much time to allocate to each task.

Romina can help them:

• Identify priorities
• Break large assignments into smaller tasks
• Set intermediate deadlines
• Track progress
• Prepare for upcoming assessments
• Balance ESS with other IB responsibilities
• Avoid last-minute work
• Develop more independent study habits

This can be particularly useful during periods when several IB deadlines occur at the same time.
