The programme
What every TOK programme includes
Objects, prompt & commentary
Your tutor helps you choose the strongest of the 35 IA prompts, select three objects with specific real-world contexts, and write a commentary that links each object back to the prompt — the structure examiners reward.
Draft to A-grade polish
For students with a basic draft, we go through the required changes line by line — argument, evidence, TOK terminology and structure — to guarantee an A-grade standard before submission.
Coverage
Complete TOK coverage
Tuition follows the current TOK guide (first assessment 2022): the core theme and optional themes explored through the knowledge framework, five areas of knowledge, and the twelve TOK concepts — assessed by the Exhibition and the Essay.

Why ElitePrep
Why students choose ElitePrep for IB TOK

A record we publish
Over 94% of our students achieved Level 6 or higher in recent May exams, evidence of a consistent record of boosting scores and academic success.
Arguments that finally land
95% of students report a significant improvement in structuring claims, counterclaims and evaluations after just one term with us.
Measurable gains
On average, our students improve their practice-commentary and essay-draft marks by up to 40% through structured feedback cycles.
Coursework, secured early
Our students excel in the internal component, with 98% achieving top marks in their TOK Exhibition — banking a third of the grade before the essay is even set.
