Linksenpai Co., Ltd. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shiori Yoshida) is pleased to announce that its IB (International Baccalaureate) specialized online tutoring service, 'IB Academy,' surpassed 200 registered tutors in March 2026. As of December 2025, the number of IB authorized and candidate schools in Japan reached 260 (according to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's IB Education Promotion Consortium), and the number of IB students is increasing year by year. On the other hand, there has been a chronic shortage of specialized tutors capable of meeting the advanced learning demands of the IB. IB Academy has been continuously expanding its tutor network to address this challenge.
Background to Exceeding 200 Tutors
IB Academy has established strict criteria where only individuals who have obtained the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma can register as tutors. The IB curriculum differs significantly from general school education, and responding to unique subjects such as the Extended Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) requires tutors who have actually experienced the IB.
Since its founding in July 2024, IB Academy has continuously recruited tutors through its network of IB graduates both domestically and internationally. With the increasing learning needs of IB students, the number of registered tutors has grown, finally surpassing 200 in March 2026.
