Live 1:1 & pairs IB preparation
IB Online Tutoring: Live Small Classes
Support for MYP and the Diploma Programme, from first unit to final exams
The IB asks students to understand ideas deeply, explain their thinking and manage a heavy workload across subjects. Our live IB classes, 1:1 or in pairs, follow your child's school programme, strengthen the concepts behind each unit, and build the exam and written-work skills the IB rewards.
- Programmes
- MYP (ages 11 to 16) and DP (ages 16 to 19)
- DP grading
- Each subject is graded 1 to 7
- Levels
- Standard Level and Higher Level

IB subjects we teach
Every class is planned around your child's own syllabus, school pace and exam date.
IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches
Algebra, functions, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability at SL and HL, with a focus on reasoning and proof.
IB Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation
Modelling, statistics, functions and calculus in context at SL and HL, including confident use of the calculator.
IB Physics
Mechanics, thermal physics, waves, electricity and magnetism, and nuclear and quantum physics, with data-based question practice.
IB Chemistry
Structure and bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, redox and organic chemistry.
IB Biology
Cells, molecular biology, genetics, ecology, evolution and human physiology, with practice on extended-response answers.
MYP Mathematics and Sciences
Strong foundations in Years 1 to 5 so the step up to the Diploma is manageable, including criteria-based assessment tasks.
How our IB preparation works
- 1
Start with a diagnostic
The first classes find out exactly which IB topics are secure and which are not, so no time is spent on what your child already knows.
- 2
Teach the concept, then the exam
Each weak topic is taught properly first. Only then do we move to exam-style questions, so marks come from understanding and not from memorised steps.
- 3
Practise with real question styles
Students work through past-paper style questions, learn how marks are awarded, and practise writing answers the way examiners expect.
- 4
Timed practice and review
Closer to the exam, classes include timed sections. Every mistake is reviewed and sorted: a gap in knowledge, a misread question, or a timing problem.
- 5
Parents stay informed
After each class you can see what was covered and what comes next, so you always know how preparation is going.
A typical IB study plan
| When | What classes focus on |
|---|---|
| MYP years | Build secure foundations in math and science and get used to criteria-based tasks. |
| DP Year 1 | Weekly classes that follow school units, with early practice on exam-style questions. |
| DP Year 2, first half | Finish the syllabus, guidance on planning internal assessment work, and topic revision. |
| Final months before exams | Timed papers, review of repeated mistakes and paper-by-paper strategy. |
Who it is for
- Students moving into the IB from another curriculum
- DP students who find Higher Level math or science demanding
- MYP students who want a strong base before the Diploma
- Students who need help planning and structuring their internal assessment work
FAQs
IB tutoring: common questions
Yes. We teach Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation at Standard Level and Higher Level. Tell us the course and level when you book.
The teacher can explain what the assessment criteria ask for, help your child choose and plan a suitable topic, and give feedback on structure and clarity. The work itself must be the student's own, as the IB requires.
Yes. MYP classes focus on building understanding in math and science and on the skills needed for criteria-based assessment.
The start of DP Year 1 is ideal because the two years move quickly. Many students also join in MYP to prepare for the Diploma, or in DP Year 2 for revision.
Yes. The first class is a free trial where the teacher checks your child's level and explains how classes would work.
