Sev7n is India's only IB-native online learning platform — built by a certified IB Examiner, powered by our own LMS, and staffed by active IB Examiners and Cambridge educators. We serve 48,000+ students across 30+ countries. This is our story.
Sev7n began with a simple but powerful observation: most IB tutoring companies are staffed by people who have never marked an IB paper. They teach the content — but they don't know what examiners actually reward. That gap is where students lose marks, and that gap is what Sev7n was built to close.
I am Shailey Valecha — a certified IB Examiner with over 17 years of experience teaching IB Economics and Business Management to students at international schools and online. I have marked thousands of student responses. I know precisely which sentences earn marks and which ones don't — not from theory, but from the examiner's side of the desk.
I built Sev7n from Gurugram, India — entirely online, without a physical office — while living with a physical disability (left leg foot drop) that I have managed for over 30 years. Sev7n is proof that the best education can be delivered from anywhere, to anyone, when the teaching is genuinely expert.
What began as individual tutoring sessions grew into something much larger: a purpose-built online learning management system (LMS) where every session is recorded, every student has a personal dashboard, and every tutor is vetted against the same examiner-level standards I hold myself to. Today Sev7n serves 48,000+ students across 30+ countries — not through a marketplace model, but through deliberate, quality-controlled, examiner-led teaching.
"The difference between a 5 and a 7 in IB is almost never content. It is knowing precisely how to answer the question in front of you — the command term, the depth, the evidence, the structure. That is examiner knowledge. That is what Sev7n teaches."
— Shailey Valecha, Certified IB Examiner & Founder, Sev7nI also run tok2022.com — a Theory of Knowledge resource site that attracts over 12,000 IB students and teachers every month. It is a testament to what genuine curriculum expertise, made freely available, can do. Sev7n's approach to tutoring comes from the same philosophy: give students real knowledge, not shortcuts.
Most "IB tutoring platforms" are marketplaces — they connect students with freelance tutors they have never met and cannot vouch for. Sev7n is different in every meaningful way.
Most tutoring companies send you a Zoom link. Sev7n gives every student a personal learning dashboard — built on our own LMS — where every session, every resource, and every piece of feedback lives permanently.
These are not marketing numbers — they are the cumulative result of 17 years of teaching, one session at a time.
Sev7n covers the complete international curriculum spectrum — from IB PYP through to IBDP and Cambridge IGCSE. Every programme, every level, one consistent quality standard.
Sev7n was built on a conviction that the best IB teaching should not be locked behind geography, disability, or access to expensive local tutoring centres. We teach online — not as a compromise, but as the most powerful model for delivering expert, examiner-led education to students wherever they are in the world.
