Engaging Lessons with our Online Platform

Deep Understanding of IB Subjects
Personalised One-on-One Learning
Our tutors tailor their teaching methods to each student's unique needs, ensuring a customised approach that targets individual strengths and weaknesses.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme offers a comprehensive and balanced curriculum divided into six subject groups: Studies in Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts. Students select courses from each group, ensuring a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills. In addition to these subjects, the IB curriculum includes three Core components that are integral to the programme: the Extended Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).
The Extended Essay involves independent research and a 4,000-word paper, fostering advanced research and writing skills. Theory of Knowledge encourages critical thinking and explores the nature of knowledge across disciplines. Creativity, Activity, Service promotes personal growth and community engagement through extracurricular activities. This rigorous and holistic approach is designed to cultivate well-rounded, inquisitive, and compassionate individuals, preparing them for success in higher education and beyond as globally minded citizens.
Hiring a specialised IB tutor is crucial because the IB programme is unique, differing significantly from other exams like A-Levels and AP. Each IB subject has specific requirements, and only a tutor with specialised IB experience can provide the tailored guidance needed to meet these standards. Specialised IB tutors have in-depth knowledge of the curriculum, exam formats, and assessment criteria, allowing them to offer precise and effective support. With years of experience teaching the IB, they help students develop essential skills, understand complex concepts, and excel in their coursework and exams. This targeted assistance can greatly enhance a student's performance and confidence in the demanding IB environment.
Yes, our expert International Baccalaureate tutors have experience teaching both IBDP students aged 16-19 and MYP students aged 11-16. For IBDP students, we provide tutoring at both standard level (SL) and higher level (HL), so whatever your level, we have got you covered!
There are quite a few differences between IB SL and HL. In IBDP, SL and HL courses differ in terms of the depth and complexity of topics covered, as well as the expectations for the level of independent research and analysis. HL students study a broader range of topics in more depth, and are expected to conduct their own research projects. SL students have a slightly narrower range of topics, but still cover the same core content as HL students. MYP courses provide a foundation for further studies in IBDP, covering a range of subjects and emphasising the development of critical thinking and research skills.The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is renowned for its rigorous and challenging curriculum, designed to prepare students for university-level studies. In 2020, 192,000 students from over 5,000 schools across 150+ countries participated in the IB program. Of these, 173,000 completed the full Diploma program, with an impressive 89.7% pass rate. Over the past five years, the average pass rate has been 79.3%.
Achieving top scores is possible, as shown in 2020 when 31.6% of Diploma recipients earned a perfect score of 7. The average score for all Diploma students in 2020 was 31.3, surpassing the five-year global average of 29.9. While the IB is undoubtedly challenging, with the right mindset, study habits, and support from qualified tutors, students can excel and achieve exceptional results.
At IB First, all our tutors are seasoned professionals with extensive experience in teaching the IB curriculum.

The majority of our tutors are not only qualified IB teachers but also examiners, bringing invaluable insight into the assessment process. Furthermore, many of our tutors are alumni of prestigious universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, providing students with top-tier academic guidance.
To become an IB tutor, it is preferable to have achieved a grade 7 in the subject being taught within the International Baccalaureate programme, as well as attended a top-tier university like Oxford or Cambridge indicating a strong academic background. In addition to academic qualifications, an IB tutor should possess excellent planning and organisational skills, a passion for teaching, and prior experience working with students. Gaining relevant qualifications, such as a degree in a relevant subject, and obtaining teaching experience can also be beneficial in becoming an IB tutor.
