Mathew
Qualified IB English Tutor | BA English Language & Literature
London-based IB English A (Lang & Lit) tutor. I teach HL and SL and I’m happiest when we’re pulling apart Paper 1 extracts line by line. I also coach students through the Individual Oral and HL Essay planning, with plenty of timed writing practice. If you’re doing Orwell, Atwood or Othello, I’ve probably taught it. Quick turnaround on annotations, and I’ll help you pick global issues that feel natural.

Arnie
Qualified IB Chemistry Tutor | MChem Chemistry
IB Chemistry HL is my thing. I’m an ex-pharma lab analyst and now tutor online from Bristol. I like lessons that feel practical: acid–base calculations, equilibria, redox, then straight into exam-style questions. Organic mechanisms are a common pain point, so we drill those until they’re automatic. For IAs, I help students pick a variable that’s measurable and write a method that survives real lab errors.

Stela
Qualified IB Physics Tutor | MSc Physics
I taught in an international school for 8 years and still miss the option-topic debates (Astrophysics is my favourite). I help with Paper 2 problem sets, tricky data questions, and using the formula booklet efficiently under time pressure. If your IA is stuck at the “idea” stage, I’ll help you narrow it into a testable question with clean uncertainty work.

Benedict
Qualified IB Economics | BSc Economics
Hello! I tutor IB Economics (SL/HL). Students usually bring me messy diagrams and half-finished commentaries; we sort them out fast and tie everything back to the rubric. I’m big on micro market failures and development, and I’ll show you how to use real-world examples without drowning in statistics. Week-to-week, I plan around your school’s schedule and paper dates.

Lucy
Professional IB Tutor
Qualified IB Business Management Tutor | BSc Management
I’ve taught IB Business Management for 8 years, mostly with students in Dubai and online. Before tutoring I worked in retail strategy, so I’m comfortable with numbers as well as case studies. I support HL students with the IA and CUEGIS-style discussions, and I’m picky (in a good way) about definitions and using the toolkit properly. If finance ratios or decision trees feel clunky, we’ll practise them until the set-up is quick and neat.

Dexter
Qualified IB Geography Tutor | BA Geography & Environmental Studies
I’ve helped students with fieldwork IAs on urban heat, tourism impacts, and coastal change, plus lots of exam practice with case studies that actually match the command term. I use simple mapping tools (Google Earth is usually enough) and I’m keen on the HL extension topics, especially global risks and climate adaptation. I’ll also mark practice essays with IB-style comments.

Edgar
Qualified IB Maths Tutor | MSc Statistics
A lot of my students pick AI because they prefer stats and modelling to heavy algebra, so that’s where I lean too. We use the calculator properly, check interpretation, and practise Paper 3-style prompts for HL. I can guide a Maths exploration from question to write-up, including regression, hypothesis tests, and making the screenshots/working look examiner-friendly.

Gideon
Qualified IB Maths Tutor/Examiner/Teacher | MA English Literature
IB English A: Literature tutor, Edinburgh based. I’ve taught small groups for the last 6 years and I’m happiest with close reading, essay structure, and choosing works that give you plenty to say. I’m fine working from your school’s reading list, and I give blunt but useful feedback on drafts. We’ll plan the Individual Oral and practise Paper 2 comparisons without memorising chunky quotes. If you’re doing the HL Essay, I’ll help you land a sharp line of inquiry.

Engaging Lessons with our Online Platform
ONLINE TUTORING PLATFORM
Our online platform brings lessons to life, allowing students to draw diagrams, solve equations, edit essays, and annotate work. We deliver elite tutoring worldwide, matching students with the best tutors available.
Our tutors have in-depth knowledge of the specific details of each IB subject, including the unique challenges and requirements of both HL and SL courses, as well as providing guidance with Internal Assessments.
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. Each tutor has undergone a rigorous interview process to ensure their expertise and teaching effectiveness. 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.
One way to become an IB tutor is by joining a reputable tutoring company, such as IB First, which specialises in IB tutoring. IB First offers a platform that connects IB tutors with students and matches tutors with students and makes the tutor’s lives easier such that they can focus on teaching.

I’m based in Leeds and run online lessons most evenings. If you’re stuck on functions, calculus or vectors, we’ll go straight to past-paper questions and work backwards to the method. I share annotated markschemes and mini-sets for homework, and I’m happy to diagnose gaps from a mock script. I’m also good for IA brainstorming, especially modelling and optimisation with sensible assumptions.
