IB Examiner for Economics & TOK | UC Berkeley Graduate | IB/AP Econ

Melissa K.

I am a UC Berkeley graduate, certified teacher, and an examiner for both IB Economics and IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK). With over 20 years of international teaching experience, I’ve taught in leading IB schools across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S.

💡 Why choose me?

As an IB examiner, I know exactly what graders look for in Economics IAs, Extended Essays, and TOK Essays/Exhibitions — because I grade them myself.

My students consistently achieve 6s and 7s in IB Economics and top marks in TOK, while my AP students score 5s on AP Micro and Macro exams.

I also created apps for IB Economics and TOK that guide students step by step in drafting essays, IAs, and exhibitions. These tools provide immediate feedback aligned with IB rubrics, saving time and helping students reach a higher standard faster.

📘 What I offer:

IB Economics (HL & SL) — IAs, Extended Essays, exam preparation

IB TOK — Essay and Exhibition coaching

AP Economics (Micro & Macro) — targeted exam prep and practice

Essay writing, critical thinking, and university prep mentoring

👩‍🎓 My approach:
Every student learns differently. I combine personalized tutoring with access to my exclusive IB apps, giving students a blend of live mentoring and on-demand feedback. This powerful combination builds confidence, ensures alignment with examiner expectations, and accelerates results. Parents choose me because I not only bring insider knowledge but also innovative tools that give their children an advantage.
