High school and university students often have difficulty finding a topic in history on which to write essays (such as the IB's Extended Essay or Internal Assessment). History essay writing is not easy and neither is finding a good history essay topic. Many students start writing on a topic and then discover that it is a dead end because it does not lend itself to anything more than a descriptive treatment.

Unlike various sites on the web that sell IB History Essays, Extended Essays and Internal Assessments written by others, we help students build the outline of essays they write themselves. In other words, our tutors help you write an essay in history that is your own. There is no risk of being accused of plagiarism because the essay is written by YOU, the student. Our tutors only help in narrowing down the topic, pointing out the available sources, creating the outline, and polishing the final draft.

This site will save you the time and effort of searching for a great IB History Essay topic. You will not waste time writing on a topic that does not work. Most importantly, this site provides you with the main points or components of the essay, which you then proceed to research and write about, thus creating a well-reasoned essay.

A good essay in history is not a descriptive account or a narrative exposition; it is not a biography or chronicle of events. It must not be about a broad topic covering a long period of time because this will make it difficult to establish a clear focus. The essay must provide opportunities for critical analysis of sources. And there should be enough sources (primary and/or secondary) available to permit the student to carry out a systematic investigation demonstrating critical analysis, historical understanding and judgment.

The historical knowledge we possess is based on a large writing paper service that has been painstakingly assembled over the years by a team of professional historians led by Dr. Evan Elpis (Ph.D. Columbia University). Available free-of-charge for all to use is the completed part of this data base, which is continually being expanded.
