Tailored IB Support
Choosing the right IB tutor can feel overwhelming, and we understand how important this decision is for your child's learning journey. Our dedicated tutors go beyond just teaching; they take the time to understand your child's unique way of learning. 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. Your child’s success and comfort are our top priorities. We offer one-on-one IB lessons just for your child. If they need help with a subject, writing an Extended Essay, or completing Internal Assessments (IAs), we are here to support them. If maths is hard for them, we can help with Standard Level Maths to boost their score. This personal help builds confidence and can improve grades; most students raise their grades with our support. Our tutors also know how IB points affect getting into university, so they can help your child aim for the right grades for their favorite courses.

Georgina B
I found Georgina when we began our home educating journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, with a deep understanding of how children learn. My daughter had formal lessons on comprehension and grammar, as well as sessions that encouraged creativity, exploration, and cross-curricular learning. Georgina used my daughter’s interests to teach concepts and often connected English with art and photography, making each lesson engaging and meaningful.
She was always very patient and kind, creating a calm, positive atmosphere where my daughter felt comfortable and able to learn at her own pace. The home activities she set were thoughtful and reinforced what had been covered in my daughter’s lessons.
I highly recommend her because educators with her level of insight and creativity are rare, and she truly understands how to teach children in a way that works for them.

Sutandra C
We couldn't be happier with Sutandra! He has been tutoring our son for his GCSE Physics preparation, and the results in just three months are incredible.
Sutandra has a real gift for making complex concepts clear and engaging. We've seen a significant, measurable improvement in his grades, but even more importantly, his entire attitude toward the subject has transformed. Our son now approaches Physics with genuine enthusiasm and confidence, a change we hadn't thought possible. We highly recommend Sutandra to any parent looking for an effective and inspiring tutor.

Alena S
Alena tutored my Year 12 daughter with her BTEC3 Health and Social Care when she got behind. She was a big help and my daughter's confidence is much improved through her sessions. Alena was always punctual and helpful. The experience was something my daughter enjoyed and benefitted greatly from. She was easy to deal with and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Christina V
We had a great experience with Christine. She made my nervous and shy daughter feel at ease immediately (we'd already tried a few other tutors).
Chris focused on what we asked for her focus on initially, but then moved on to different subjects when she saw my daughter was progressing well. Each session felt tailored to her learning needs.
My daughter excelled in her 11plug and won places in 2 top schools. We can't recommend Chris enough.

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.
