What You’ll Learn

Note: The new IB History course began teaching in August 2026, with the new assessment model applying from May 2028. Students taking the May 2027 assessment will follow the existing course and assessment pattern. Our tutoring support is fully aligned with your specific assessment year.

The IB History SL curriculum is structured around a comparative, multi-perspective approach to world history, encouraging students to develop historical knowledge while thinking critically about the past. The course examines political, economic, social, and cultural history and emphasises historical concepts, evidence, context, and multiple interpretations.

The current curriculum is organised into the following components:

Prescribed subjects
World history topics
Historical Investigation (Internal Assessment)

The DP History curriculum emphasizes six key historical concepts:

Change
Continuity
Causation
Consequence
Significance
Perspectives

The Growing Stars IB History SL Tutoring Program helps students develop a connected and comprehensive understanding of history while strengthening critical analysis, source evaluation, research skills, and engagement with multiple perspectives.

Course and Assessment Updates (For May 2028 onwards)

New Course Overview

The updated IB DP History course is a flexible world history course designed to suit diverse school contexts. It explores global, regional, and national themes through a balanced combination of comparative, thematic, and in-depth study.

Changes to the Course Content

The updated course maintains significant continuity with the current course while offering more diverse topic choices (including climate and resilience, and innovation and transformation) and greater opportunities to explore marginalized perspectives.

Redefined specified concepts: Four concepts—cause and consequence, continuity and change, perspectives, and significance—are integrated throughout the course.
Paired case studies: Prescribed subjects are redesigned as paired case studies, developing skills in using sources and exploring diverse evidence.
Global themes: World history topics are redesigned as global themes, developing skills in making connections across diverse historical examples.
Regional in-depth topics: Depth studies are redesigned as regional in-depth topics for focused regional evaluation.

Assessment Changes

The updated History course maintains continuity with the previous model, with several key updates:

Paper 1: Remains a source-based paper using paired case studies, featuring more authentic and open-ended questions based on an inquiry question and diverse sources.
Paper 2: Adds a new Section A with questions on specified concepts. Section B includes short-response and essay questions on the global theme, with fewer essay responses required.
Time Allocation: Adjusted to provide more thinking time during exams.
Internal Assessment: Remains a Historical Investigation of the student’s choice, but the reflection section has been removed. There is now a greater focus on the inquiry question, sources and perspectives, synthesis, and evaluation, using a maximum of seven sources.

What Makes Our IB History Tutoring Unique?

Personalised Instruction: At Growing Stars, we recognise that every IB student faces a demanding workload. Our expert tutors personalise every lesson according to the student’s learning pace, target achievement levels, and specific school syllabus.
Curriculum Alignment: Because students select different prescribed subjects for Paper 1 and world history topics for Paper 2, our tutoring is customised directly to the student’s selected topics, prescribed textbook, and classroom materials.
Individualised Attention: Working 1-on-1 provides focused support in historical analysis, argument development, and examination skills that are often unavailable in fast-paced IB classrooms.
Flexible Online Access: Learn from home, the library, or anywhere with an internet connection, making high-quality support effective for busy IB schedules.

Program Details & Tutoring Benefits

Historical Knowledge & Skill Development: Support with source analysis, evidence evaluation, argument development, IB command terms, and the application of historical concepts.
Historical Investigation Support: Step-by-step guidance for the Internal Assessment, helping students develop, refine, and present their work effectively to achieve maximum marks.
Exam & Assessment Preparation: Targeted preparation for Paper 1, Paper 2, school quizzes, topic tests, and mock exams. We focus heavily on mark scheme expectations and effective exam techniques.
Progress Monitoring: Receive instant feedback after each session and a monthly progress report. Education Managers monitor progress and implement remedial measures whenever necessary.
Academic Integrity: All tutoring support strictly follows IB academic honesty guidelines, particularly regarding independent research for the Historical Investigation.
