IB Tutor in London: Online One-to-One IB Tuition

What London students often need beyond a re-teach

Many students in London who take the IB Diploma or the Middle Years Programme want more than a repeat of the lesson. They want to understand how IB marks work, how to answer command terms, and how to plan a long piece of work such as an IA or the Extended Essay. These are skills, and skills develop when someone works through them with your own material rather than with general examples.

Because sessions are one-to-one and online, the time goes on your questions, your drafts and your plan instead of on general explanations. If a command term keeps catching you out, a session can look at how it is worded and what a strong answer needs to show. If a plan feels vague, you can build it step by step with a tutor. Families looking for IB tuition often value this focus on the student's own work.

Online IB tutor or home tutor in London: what is the difference?

💻

Sessions are online, not in person at your address

A home tutor traditionally travels to a student's address and teaches in person. Our sessions work differently: they are online, and you take part from home, from your own desk, with your own notebooks and books beside you. We do not send tutors to your door, and we think it is better to say so plainly than to leave families guessing.

🚆

No travel across London to reach a tutor

In practice, the difference is mostly about convenience and focus. There is no travelling across London before or after a session, and you meet your subject tutor on screen.

📝

Work from your own desk with your own material

You can open your own drafts, past papers and coursework and work through them together with live feedback.

🎓

Meet a subject tutor on screen, one to one

If you were searching for a home tutor because you want to study comfortably from home, online sessions may suit you well.

IB tuition: subjects and components we cover

Tutoring is available across the IB Diploma and the Middle Years Programme. The list below shows the main subjects and components. If your course is not named exactly, tell us which courses and levels you take and we will confirm availability for your subjects and level.

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches, Applications and InterpretationIB Physics, Chemistry and BiologyIB Economics and PsychologyIB English and other languagesInternal assessments (IA)Extended Essay, TOK and CAS

Choosing a tutor by subject matters because each IB course is assessed in its own way. A mathematics session looks different from a session on an English essay or a Psychology response, and the core components have their own expectations again. Your subject tutor can concentrate on the demands of your particular course, including the criteria that your own work will be judged against.

How online IB tutor sessions work

How online IB tutor sessions work - ib tuition
  1. Share your subjects, levels and goalsWorking with an IB tutor starts with a simple step: you share your subjects, levels and goals.
  2. Be matched with a suitable subject tutorWe then help you find a suitable subject tutor and agree what the first session should cover.
  3. Agree what the first session should coverThis means the opening session is aimed at something real, such as a difficult unit, an upcoming assessment or a draft that needs attention.
  4. Work live on questions, past papers or courseworkIn each session you work through your own questions, past paper practice or coursework with live feedback. Your tutor explains why an answer earns marks under the IB criteria, so you can see the reasoning and not just the correction.
  5. Leave with a short practice listAfter each session you leave with a short list of things to practise, and the next session starts from how that practice went. That rhythm keeps the sessions connected to one another.

Help with the IB core and coursework

Narrow a broad idea into a focused question

The internal assessments, the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge are long pieces of work that reward early planning. A tutor can help you narrow a topic into a focused question, structure an argument and read your draft the way an examiner would.

Read drafts against the IB criteria

Seeing your writing through that lens can show where an idea is unclear or where a point needs more support.

Structure an argument across a long piece

Tutoring is there to explain the criteria, ask better questions and show you where a draft can be clearer or more focused.

You remain the author of your work

You stay the author of your work.

Your school supervisor stays your first contact

Your school's supervisor remains your first point of contact for the Extended Essay and your coursework, and a tutor works alongside that guidance rather than replacing it.

Middle Years Programme students and the Personal Project

Tutoring also covers the Middle Years Programme, so this page is for MYP families too. Students in MYP5 can find that several things become important at once: summative tasks, the Personal Project, feedback on achievement levels and decisions about DP or CP subjects. When everything arrives together, large tasks can start to feel overwhelming and may be put off.
  1. Revisit earlier units using achievement-level feedbackIn November and December, many MYP5 students may be revisiting earlier units, looking at feedback to spot recurring weaknesses, and moving the Personal Project toward completion.
  2. Keep Personal Project work moving in small stepsExact timings depend on the school, so check your own deadlines first.
  3. Understand what DP or CP subjects will ask of youA tutor can help you break the work into manageable steps, review criteria that need attention, and understand what a chosen DP or CP subject will involve.

Making the most of tutoring between sessions

Tutoring works best when the work continues between meetings. Bring real questions to each session: a problem you could not finish, a paragraph you are unsure about, or a past paper question where the marks surprised you. Drafts are especially useful because they show your thinking and give your tutor something concrete to respond to.

After each session you will have a short list of things to practise. Work through it before the next meeting, and keep a simple note of mistakes that recur, matched to the IB criteria they relate to. Then open the next session by reviewing how that practice went. This habit makes patterns easy to see, and it keeps the sessions focused on what you actually need next.
