Mission

 Bringing Smart, Data-Driven Learning to Every Student

What if every student had access to the same high-quality education as those attending the world’s top private schools?
At ibGuru, we believe that affordable yet effective education should not be a privilege—it should be accessible to everyone. While we started with the IB curriculum, our vision is much bigger: to leverage technology and innovative teaching methods to make secondary education truly global, personalized, and data-driven.
Through smart study tools, real-time progress tracking, and gamification, ibGuru is revolutionizing how students learn—helping them improve, stay motivated, and succeed without the barriers of expensive tutoring or location-based limitations.

 A New Approach to Learning: Korean Education Meets Smart Technology

Korea is known for its rigorous education system, where students seek the best tutors and most efficient study methods to maximize academic performance. From Hakwon academies to super-tutors teaching 150+ students at once, Korean education has mastered the art of high-performance learning—but it comes at a cost: stress, burnout, and inequality.
At ibGuru, we take the best of Korea’s results-driven approach but reinvent it for global students using technology:
Expert-curated study materials accessible to all.
AI-driven insights to guide students efficiently.
Gamification that turns studying into a rewarding experience.
We’re not just creating another study tool—we’re building a new way to learn smarter, not just harder.

 The Founder’s Story: Why I Started ibGuru

I was fortunate to study the IB curriculum, despite being part of the first cohort in my school with only 20 students. While I enjoyed the broad and critical-thinking approach of IB, I realized that many students struggled without access to tutors or extra support.
I chose to self-study rather than seek private tutoring, knowing the financial burden it placed on my family. Later, when I became a tutor myself, I saw how expensive private education was—and how many students were left out simply because they couldn’t afford it.
This inspired me to launch GuruMe, a tutoring platform to connect students and tutors transparently. Over time, this evolved into:
TutorHive – a tutoring app connecting students with international tutors.
IBtheTOP – a specialized IB academy.
Publishing IB & UK University Books – to provide free guidance through blogging and printed resources.
And finally, ibGuru – a tech-driven, data-powered learning app that helps every IB student study smarter, regardless of background.
My ultimate goal? To collaborate with the IBO and create a scholarship foundation that makes IB education accessible to more students worldwide.

 Where We’re Headed

Our mission at ibGuru is not just to help students pass exams but to change how secondary education is delivered globally.
Right now: We provide expert-guided study tools, real-time analytics, and gamified learning to IB students.
In the future: We will expand to A-Levels, SAT, GCSEs, and beyond, making quality education affordable, data-driven, and globally connected.
Education should not be about privilege—it should be about potential. With ibGuru, we are building the future of learning.
Join us on this journey.
