Best Online IB Tutors for the Diploma Programme
The IB Diploma combines six subjects with the core: the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS. Our IB tutors support both subject learning and the coursework that makes up part of the final grade.
HL and SL Subject Support
Tutors are matched to the student's subjects and levels, from Maths AA or AI to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Management and English A.
Internal Assessment (IA) Guidance
A tutor can help the student choose a workable topic, understand the criteria and plan the investigation. The IA itself must be the student's own work.
Extended Essay & TOK Support
Guidance with research questions, structure and referencing for the Extended Essay, and with the TOK essay and exhibition, following IB academic integrity rules.
Affordable IB Tuition in the UAE
Students in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain can book one-to-one online IB lessons with no travel costs. You choose the subjects, lesson length and number of sessions each week, and you can start with a free trial before committing.
What Affects the Cost of an IB Tutor?
As a guide, typical rates in the UAE are about AED 80–150 per hour at group tuition centres, AED 100–250 per hour for one-to-one online tutoring, and AED 200–500 per hour for home tutors who travel to you. IB Diploma tuition, especially at HL, is usually at the upper end of these ranges. The main factors are the level, the subject, the tutor's experience and how many lessons you book each week.

How We Plan IB Tuition Around Your Course
Subject support matched to HL and SL
The IB Diploma Programme combines subject study with its core. For tutoring, the exact subject, course and level determine the scope of work. A learner studying Mathematics AA needs a different plan from a learner studying Mathematics AI, and English course choices also matter.
Sharing the exact course details
Include HL or SL, the topic being taught and the assessment task. This allows lesson time to focus on the appropriate depth rather than repeat content the student already knows.
Developing analysis and connections
Lessons can help students explain concepts, interpret unfamiliar information and make arguments supported by evidence. A tutor can ask the learner to compare approaches or examine an assumption, then use a fresh example to check independent understanding.
Making feedback actionable
Choose a specific priority such as explaining a graph, supporting an interpretation or improving a chain of reasoning. Practise that skill in a short task before returning to a larger piece of work.
Internal assessment and Extended Essay study skills
Students can seek help understanding concepts, organising a study schedule and learning general research or analytical skills. Any support must respect the school’s guidance and IB academic integrity requirements. Tutors do not produce or rewrite assessed submissions for students.
Keeping authorship with the student
Research choices, analysis and submitted writing must remain the learner’s own. Questions about permitted feedback should be checked with the teacher or supervisor before sharing assessed work for outside support.

How the IB Is Scored and What Universities Look For
The IB Diploma is scored out of 45: up to 7 points for each of six subjects and up to 3 points from the Extended Essay and TOK. Final exams take place in May for most UAE schools.
Predicted Scores and Offers
Universities make offers based on predicted scores and sometimes on specific HL grades. Strong IAs and steady progress in Year 1 help students reach the predictions they need.
How can an IB student balance several subject priorities?
Start with school deadlines and identify the tasks that depend on missing knowledge. Separate learning a concept from completing a submission, and allow time to attempt work independently. A manageable tutoring plan targets the most important obstacle while leaving space for the wider Diploma workload.
How Our Online IB Lessons Work
Share your learning priorities
Include the IB subject, course, HL/SL level and the school’s guidance for the task.
Agree a manageable plan
Discuss the subject priorities, preferred lesson times in UAE time and the amount of independent practice that fits around school. Confirm tutor availability, fees and trial arrangements before agreeing ongoing sessions. You can request online support from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or elsewhere in the UAE.

IB Tuition FAQs
What is a good IB score?
The average worldwide is around 30 points. Scores of 38 and above are competitive for top universities, while the minimum to pass the Diploma is 24 points with other conditions.
How much help can a tutor give with the IA and Extended Essay?
Tutors can explain the criteria, help with topic choice and give general feedback. They cannot write or heavily edit the work, which must be the student's own under IB rules.
Is IB harder than A-Level?
IB is broader, with six subjects and the core, while A-Level goes deeper into fewer subjects. Students who are organised and enjoy variety often do well in the IB.
Should my child take Maths AA or AI?
AA suits students heading for Maths, Engineering or Physics; AI suits courses that use statistics and modelling. Check university requirements before choosing.
When should IB tuition start?
Early in Year 1 (DP1) is ideal, especially for HL subjects, so gaps do not build up before IAs and mocks.
