Frequently asked questions

What is studied in the IB Maths course?

The IB Maths curriculum is a rigorous programme designed to prepare students for university-level mathematics. It explores core areas like algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, along with statistics and probability. The program offers two pathways: Analysis and Approaches, geared towards STEM careers, and Applications and Interpretations, emphasising the practical use of mathematics in various fields.

Our tutors can help you navigate this challenging curriculum, identifying your learning gaps and goals, whether it’s solidifying core concepts, mastering advanced topics, or preparing for exams. They will guide you through the relevant curriculum and use past paper practice to equip you with strong exam techniques.

How can tutoring help me prepare for IB Maths?

IB Mathematics tutoring personalises your learning journey, going beyond a traditional classroom. Tutors pinpoint areas needing extra support, break down complex concepts, and equip you with strong problem-solving skills. They’ll guide you through practice questions aligned with the IB format, sharpening your exam techniques and boosting both your understanding and confidence in tackling any mathematical challenge.

What should I look for when choosing an IB Maths tutor?

Experience specifically teaching IB Maths is crucial, as it ensures the tutor is familiar with the course’s unique challenges and expectations. An experienced IB teacher is also able to help a student navigate the toughest parts of the course. So, a deep understanding of the IB Maths curriculum and assessment methods is a top priority. Also, look to see if your tutor has experience as an IB examiner. In this case, they will be able to best prepare you as they know the potential pitfalls and useful exam strategies. Look for a patient, encouraging person who excels at communicating complex ideas clearly and effectively.

While a former IB student will no doubt help, they are unlikely to have the patience, teaching skills, and experience to help you succeed. Our tutors have taught hundreds and sometimes thousands of IB students, so you can have the confidence that they will be able to give you all the help you need to do your best in the final exams.

Is IB Maths difficult?

The demanding nature of IB Maths is well-known. It challenges students to not only understand mathematical concepts but also apply them in diverse and intricate ways. The high level of abstraction and integration of concepts from various mathematical areas can contribute to the difficulty. However, this very challenge fosters a rewarding learning experience. By adopting the right approach — consistent practice, active engagement with the material, and seeking clarification when needed — students can overcome these hurdles. Tutoring plays a vital role in this process by offering targeted support and guidance.

What are the qualifications of IB Maths tutors at TutorsPlus?

TutorsPlus boasts a team of highly skilled IB Maths tutors with a strong academic background in mathematics and advanced degrees. These experienced educators possess a deep understanding of the IB curriculum and excel at presenting complex concepts in an engaging and accessible manner. 

We carefully verify their qualifications, ensuring not only the necessary academic credentials but also a proven track record of effective teaching. All teachers are carefully interviewed about their teaching experience and qualifications. Our HR team then background checks them, which involves criminal record checks and references so that the families we work with can have peace of mind.

Our tutors are certified teachers who have undergone training and have experience teaching in international schools worldwide. Many have other posts of responsibility, such as Head of Maths, IB coordinator, or IB Maths Internal Assessment moderator. All these additional positions make our tutors uniquely placed to help your IB Maths grades improve.

In addition to their teaching experience, many of our tutors are also IB examiners. This unique experience provides them with deep insight into the IB assessment criteria, allowing them to tailor their instruction to effectively prepare students for exams.

How does online IB Maths tutoring work?

Tutors use various online resources, including shared documents, digital whiteboards, and problem-solving tools, to create an engaging and effective learning experience. Sessions are conveniently scheduled based on availability and can be customised to address your needs. These digital tools, mimicking the collaborative nature of a classroom environment, make online tutoring a highly effective learning method.

Students can also record lessons or parts of lessons to use in their revision at any time.

We prioritise your child’s needs and well-being above all. Understanding the importance of a strong tutor-student match, TutorsPlus offers a flexible approach to ensure the best fit. If, for any reason, a tutor isn’t the right match, we promptly find a replacement to ensure an uninterrupted learning journey for your child.
