They know that the IB structure can be complex, so they work patiently to break down challenging topics like Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and CAS requirements into easy-to-understand steps. We carefully select our tutors for their expertise and background, ensuring that your child will be in safe and caring hands as they navigate their studies.

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can an IB tutor help my child with the Diploma Programme?
Our IB tutors are experts in the specific demands of the International Baccalaureate. They can help your child understand and excel in core components like Theory of Knowledge (ToK), the Extended Essay (EE), and CAS requirements, offering clear guidance on what's expected. They also provide support for balancing the workload across Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) subjects, making the whole programme feel more manageable
What if my child is struggling with a specific IB subject, like a compulsory Maths element?
It's common to find certain subjects more challenging, especially with the IB's breadth. An IB tutor can provide targeted, one-to-one support in those areas, whether it's Maths SL or a particular science. This focused attention helps to build confidence and ensures weaker subjects don't negatively impact their overall IB score.
Can an IB tutor help with preparing for university applications, especially understanding IB points?
Absolutely. Our international baccalaureate tutors understand how IB scores translate into university entry requirements, including specific predicted HL grades that universities often ask for. They can help your child strategise to meet those conditions and effectively prepare their application, reassuring you about how UK universities view IB applicants.
When is the best time to start IB tutoring?
Many students find starting tutoring early in Year 12 helps them adjust to the significant jump from GCSEs and get ahead of the demanding workload for the International Baccalaureate exam. However, tutoring can be beneficial at any stage, whether it's to tackle specific Internal Assessments (IAs) in Year 13, manage exam stress, or provide focused revision for the final exams.
How do you ensure the quality and suitability of IB tutors?
We are committed to providing the best support. Every IB tutor on Tutorful goes through a rigorous vetting process, including background checks and interviews, and we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. This ensures your child is learning from highly qualified, experienced, and effective educators who truly understand the IB curriculum.
How much does IB tutoring cost, and how do online lessons work?
Our IB tutoring rates start from £34 per hour, offering flexible and transparent pricing. All lessons take place conveniently online in our virtual classroom. This allows your child to learn from home at times that suit your family, fitting seamlessly into their busy IB schedule without the need for travel. An online IB tutor provides the flexibility many busy students need.
