€100 human Examiner IA Review — why it costs what it costs

A practising IB examiner reads your IA draft and gives you 800 words of criterion-by-criterion feedback plus a 20-minute Zoom.

What €100 buys you

A practising IB examiner (that's me) personally reads your IA draft. Not skims — reads, with the descriptor sheet open. Then writes you roughly 800 words of criterion-by-criterion feedback with specific paragraph references. Then meets you on Zoom for 20 minutes to walk through the top three changes.

Turnaround: 3–5 working days from upload to written feedback. The Zoom is booked separately at your convenience within 14 days of the written report landing.

Why not just use the €5 AI version?

The AI is very good — it's trained on my own rubric and the official IB descriptors, and I use it myself when I'm marking at speed. But there are three specific things a human still does better:

Who this is for

Students in the final six weeks before their IA is submitted, whose current internal school feedback is either late-arriving or inconsistent. Also students whose predicted grade is one band below their offer requirement — the IA is the highest-leverage thing you can still change.

Who it isn't for

If your IA is at 40% completion, save your €100 — get the structure right first with the AI tool, then book the human review closer to submission.

Class-code option

Schools can bulk-buy this tier at a discount and give students a class code to redeem. That's the sensible route if you're a Head of Maths wanting to guarantee your DP2 cohort gets external feedback before submission.

Academic honesty — same rules as the AI tier

The review is guidance. You own your submission. I don't rewrite paragraphs for you — I tell you which paragraphs to rewrite. That's the ethical line and the professional one.
