A strong IB Extended Essay lives or dies on its research question — too broad and the argument sprawls, too narrow and there's nothing to analyze. Jean wrote her own undergraduate thesis in Latin American History at Duke and later completed a law degree, so she knows how to frame a focused argument and sustain it across thousands of words. She walks students through every stage from topic selection to final citations, with particular attention to building a coherent analytical thread.

The IB Extended Essay is often a student's first real experience with independent research — choosing a question, building an argument across 4,000 words, and meeting IB's specific assessment criteria. Jessi earned her own IB diploma and then wrote extensively at the graduate level at Yale and UPenn, so she understands both the IB rubric's expectations and what genuine academic argumentation looks like. She digs into the research question refinement stage early, since a sharply focused question makes every other part of the essay easier.

The IB Extended Essay is essentially a 4,000-word research paper written by someone who's never written a research paper, and the biggest pitfall is choosing a question that's either too broad or impossible to answer with available sources. Anna walks students through narrowing their research question, structuring an argument with proper academic sourcing, and meeting each criterion in the rubric. Her own interdisciplinary background — spanning neuroscience, computer science, and the humanities — means she can advise across a wide range of EE subjects.

The IB Extended Essay asks students to do something most haven't attempted before: sustain a 4,000-word argument built on independent research. Harry's own background conducting independent research in India, combined with his theater and communications training at Northwestern, means he can walk students through every phase — from narrowing a research question to structuring a thesis that holds up across twenty pages.

The IB Extended Essay is essentially a miniature research thesis, and Kaya knows the process inside out — from narrowing a research question to structuring an argument that meets IB assessment criteria. Her Princeton public policy training required exactly this kind of sustained, evidence-driven writing, and she applies that rigor to every draft. Rated 5.0 by students.

The IB Extended Essay is often a student's first experience writing a sustained, research-driven argument — and the process from research question to final draft can feel overwhelming without clear structure. Clare tackles it in stages: narrowing the topic, building an argument framework, and refining the academic voice that IB examiners reward. Her own college research in biopsychology means she's been through the long-form writing process herself.

The IB Extended Essay is unlike any assignment most high schoolers have faced — 4,000 words of independent research with real academic expectations. Christine completed the IB Diploma herself in Shanghai and knows how to navigate everything from narrowing a research question to meeting the reflections criteria that supervisors often underemphasize. She's especially strong at helping students in psychology, biology, and language-related EE topics structure an argument that earns top marks.

The IB Extended Essay asks students to sustain a 4,000-word research argument, which is a fundamentally different skill from writing short essays in class. Amanda has guided IB students through topic selection, research question refinement, and the structured drafting process, drawing on her own experience producing lengthy research writing in public health and medical school.

An IB Extended Essay lives or dies on its research question — too broad and the argument collapses, too narrow and there's nothing to analyze. Olivia walks students through the process of scoping a question, building a structured argument, and weaving secondary sources into original analysis. Her American Studies training, which demanded exactly this kind of interdisciplinary research writing, makes her especially effective with essays in literature, history, and social science categories.

The IB Extended Essay demands something most high schoolers haven't done before: sustain a focused, research-driven argument across 4,000 words. Willow earned departmental honors in two writing-intensive majors at UCLA and studied abroad at Humboldt Universität Berlin, giving her firsthand experience with the kind of independent research and thesis development the EE requires. She digs into structure, source integration, and the reflective components that examiners weigh heavily.
