Exam coaching from tutors who took it.
AP and IB are not "harder versions of the regular course." They're different exams with different scoring rubrics, different timing pressure, and a different relationship to content. The best AP/IB tutor is one who has personally written the exam your child is preparing for — not a generic subject tutor who reads the syllabus the night before.
Every AP/IB student at Keats is matched to a specialist tutor: AP Calculus AB to a tutor with a math or engineering background who has written AP Calc, IB Chemistry HL to a chemistry major who has done IB themselves, AP English Literature to an English major who has graded essays. Match by exam, not just by subject.
Lessons combine: (1) structured content review against the official syllabus, (2) targeted weak-area work after a diagnostic, (3) timed practice tests with detailed mark-up, and (4) exam-day strategy for pacing, multiple choice, and free-response sections.
Six things every AP/IB student gets.
A pre-built playbook from our most successful families.
Tutors who have written the exam
AP/IB tutors trained at UBC and other top universities, many of whom personally wrote the exam — and got the score.
Diagnostic-first approach
Session 1 is a focused diagnostic against past papers. We identify the weak topic before we plan the program.
Timed practice tests
Real exam conditions, real timing pressure. Marked against the official rubric, with structured walk-through after.
Exam strategy coaching
Pacing, multiple-choice technique, free-response structure, IA/EE coaching for IB — not just content review.
Written progress notes
Every session: topic covered, mock score progression, target gap, next focus.
Keats AP/IB booklets
Subject-specific exam booklets — condensed content review, exam-style questions, full mark schemes.
