What €100 buys you
A former Head of Maths with IB examining experience (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.
Priority turnaround 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 useful: it works from the official IB descriptors and my own guidance, and every band it gives is backed by quotes from your draft. But there are three specific things a human still does better:
- Judging tone and narrative flow. Whether your personal engagement reads as genuine or manufactured is a human judgement the AI is much less reliable at.
- Recognising when you're solving the wrong problem. Sometimes an IA has beautiful maths but is answering a question that isn't quite the one it set out to answer. Humans spot that faster.
- Answering "but what should I do?" live. Written feedback tells you what's weak. A 20-minute Zoom lets you ask "yes but WHICH of these three rewrites should I do first if I've only got two weekends left?" and get a genuine answer.
Who this is for
Students who want Pete's view before their one teacher-feedback draft, or before the final version. Tell your teacher you had a review and acknowledge it as your school requires. 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.
