📖 About the Programme
What is the IB Diploma & Who is it For?
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a rigorous 2-year pre-university qualification for students aged 16–19. Recognised by top universities worldwide as one of the most demanding and prestigious school-leaving qualifications, it develops critical thinking, research skills and global awareness.
Who Takes the IB Diploma?
Students aged 16–19 (Years 12–13) at IB World Schools globally. Offered in 160+ countries. Very popular in international schools across UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and UK independent schools.
Scoring System
Scored out of 45 points. Students take 6 subjects (3 HL + 3 SL) scored 1–7 each, plus up to 3 bonus points from the Core (EE + TOK). A score of 36+ is considered excellent for top university entry.
University Recognition
The IB Diploma is accepted by all UK Russell Group universities, Ivy League colleges (USA), and top institutions in UAE, KSA and globally. Strong IB scores open doors that other qualifications cannot match.
Why Students Struggle
The IB is significantly harder than A-Levels or IGCSE. Students must balance 6 subjects + EE + TOK + CAS simultaneously. Many students underestimate the workload — which is exactly where our tutors help.
🏗️ Programme Structure

🎯 IB Core
IB Core Component Support
The IB Core — Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS — contributes up to 3 bonus points. Many students neglect these critical components. Our tutors give them the attention they deserve.
Extended Essay (EE)
4,000-word independent research essay
We guide students through choosing a focused research question, structuring their argument, using academic sources and writing to IB examiner standards. Subject-specific EE tutors available for all groups.
Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
TOK Essay (1,600 words) + Exhibition
TOK is notoriously confusing for students. Our specialist TOK tutors demystify the Ways of Knowing and Areas of Knowledge, and help students write high-scoring TOK essays and Exhibition commentaries.
Internal Assessments (IA)
Subject-specific coursework components
Every IB subject has an Internal Assessment worth 20–25% of the final grade. We guide students through every IA — from Maths AA exploration to Biology labs to Economics commentaries — to maximise marks.

❓ Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our IB Diploma online tutoring service.
Do you provide support for Extended Essay and TOK — not just subject tuition?
▾
Yes — we are one of the very few tutoring services that provide dedicated Extended Essay, TOK and Internal Assessment support. We have specialist tutors who focus specifically on EE research design and writing, TOK essay and exhibition structure, and subject-specific IA guidance. These components are worth up to 3 bonus points and can make the difference between a 35 and a 38+ IB score.
Which IB subjects do your tutors cover?
▾
We cover all 6 IB subject groups at both Higher Level and Standard Level — including IB Maths AA HL/SL, Maths AI HL/SL, Physics HL/SL, Chemistry HL/SL, Biology HL/SL, Economics HL/SL, Business Management, Psychology, History, Computer Science, English A and English B. If your subject is not listed, contact us — we likely have a specialist available.
How is IB Maths AA HL different from regular A-Level Maths?
▾
IB Maths AA HL is widely considered harder than A-Level Maths. It covers a broader range of topics including complex proof, further calculus, statistics and option topics (Graph Theory, Calculus, Statistics, Discrete). The exam style also differs — IB uses "command terms" like "demonstrate", "justify" and "prove" that require very specific response styles. Our specialist IB Maths tutors know exactly how to prepare students for both the content and the exam style.
Are sessions available for IB students in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman?
▾
Absolutely — IB is very popular in Gulf international schools and we serve many students across UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), Qatar (Doha), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman. All sessions are fully online via Zoom with a shared digital whiteboard. We cover all Gulf time zones and offer morning, afternoon and evening slots to fit around your school schedule.
What IB score do I need for top UK universities?
▾
Requirements vary by university and course: Oxford/Cambridge typically require 38–42+ with 7,7,6 or higher at HL; Imperial College London requires 38–40 with 6,6,6 at HL in relevant sciences; UCL requires 36–38; King's College London requires 33–35; most other Russell Group universities require 30–35. Our tutors are experienced in advising on specific score targets for different courses and can help you build a realistic plan to achieve your required score.
Is the first IB trial class really free?
▾
Completely free — no credit card, no commitment. In your 30-minute trial session, your tutor will review your IB subject combination, identify your biggest challenge areas, discuss your university target score and outline a personalised support plan. You only pay if you choose to continue. Most students find immediate value from the first session and choose to continue with weekly tuition.
