Frequently asked questions

What fees can I expect to pay for sessions with a KnowledgeActive coach?

Upon request, all financial conditions pertaining to the needs of the IB student are shared with parents/guardians following the discovery meeting. Fees vary according to individual needs based on face-to-face/online/hybrid coaching sessions and local/international travel requirements necessary to the delivery of IB academic coaching and mentoring programme.

How is KnowledgeActive unique?

Our team of academic IB coaches are renowned for the genuine pride that they take in their IB students performance, the professional bond that they establish with their IB students, and their active presence at each stage of the IBDP-journey. Our IB coaches focus on boosting IB student confidence, instilling and cultivating transferable skills they can apply at university or (even) beyond.

Can I contact my academic IB tutor via WhatsApp/phone when I have questions?

Yes, this is a core-student-focused value for KnowledgeActive. IB students can contact our specialised academic coaches with their questions at any time. We don't want our IB students to have to wait for the next session to receive answers to their questions. Please understand that our coaches will respond to you as soon as they are available.

Do my academic coaches have many other students?

KnowledgeActive makes sure our students receive the appropriate academic coach, matching the student profile and needs. Furthermore, we diligently choose our IB students, based on intrinsic motivation, dedication, maturity, and willingness to commit to the sessions, and we do not accept every IB student.

How long does the average student remain with KnowledgeActive?

KnowledgeActive has a wide variety of IB students. Some students start in Grade 10 (pre-IBDP) to ensure the adequate IBDP-programme is selected. Other students access the academic coaching programme during their IBDP. KnowledgeActive also works with students who are IB graduates but return to us for coaching during their university careers for support with aspects of their studies, such as academic guidance with thesis.

How are coaches allocated?

At KnowledgeActive, we match the IB tutor - coach to the IB student, based on individual academic requirements  - according to each IB candidate's subject area (s) and individual needs. This is key to unlocking the potential of each IB student.
