IB Diploma Specialists

Expert IB tuition for IBDP students

The IB Diploma demands more than exam drills—it rewards inquiry, analysis, and cross-subject thinking. At Future Academy, we provide IB tuition that aligns to IB philosophy through small groups (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6), experienced educators, and comprehensive support for Math AA/AI, Sciences, TOK, and Extended Essay.

Our teaching team is led by Ms Chen (former RGS teacher; 15+ years teaching experience) and Mr Jason Lau (former Hwa Chong Math HOD; 17 years teaching experience at HCI). Together with our IB-trained subject teachers, we focus on what IBDP students need: conceptual depth, rubric-aligned assessments, and support for Internal Assessments and Extended Essays.

IB students benefit from our small-group format that encourages discourse, multiple perspectives, and collaborative problem-solving—skills that the IB Learner Profile values. Whether you need Higher Level depth or Standard Level support, we build the confidence and clarity universities expect from IB Diploma graduates.

Understanding the Programme

About the IB Diploma Programme

The IB Diploma Programme is a comprehensive two-year curriculum requiring six subjects across groups plus three core components (TOK, Extended Essay, CAS). IBDP assessments blend external examinations with Internal Assessments, demanding sustained effort rather than last-minute exam preparation.

International Curriculum

The IB Diploma is recognised by universities worldwide. The programme develops internationally minded students who understand multiple perspectives and approaches to knowledge across cultures and disciplines.

Inquiry-Based Learning

IB emphasises conceptual understanding through inquiry and investigation. Students learn to ask questions, design experiments, analyse data, and construct arguments—developing research skills valued by universities.

Core Components + Subjects

Six subjects (3 HL, 3 SL) plus TOK, Extended Essay, and CAS. Internal Assessments and external exams combine throughout the two years, requiring sustained academic effort and time management.

Teaching team

Why IB Students Need Specialised Support

The IB Diploma demands more than memorisation—it requires sustained inquiry, research, and critical thinking across two years. Generic A-Level tuition cannot address IB’s unique assessment requirements.

  • Internal Assessments (IAs) throughout Year 1-2 requiring original investigations
  • Extended Essay (4,000 words) demanding independent research and academic writing
  • Theory of Knowledge requiring critical analysis of knowledge claims across disciplines
  • Criterion-referenced assessment requiring precise understanding of marking rubrics
  • Cross-disciplinary connections and international perspectives valued in IB philosophy

FAQ

Common Questions About Our IB Tuition

How we align to IB rubrics, support IAs/EE/TOK, and fit busy IB schedules.

Yes—we provide IB Mathematics tuition for both AA (Analysis & Approaches) and AI (Applications & Interpretation) pathways at both Higher Level and Standard Level. Our teaching aligns pacing, technology use (GDC integration), and exam techniques to each course’s specific demands and assessment requirements.

We guide topic selection, methodology design, data analysis, draft reviews, and rubric alignment whilst upholding academic integrity. For Internal Assessments, we help students develop original investigations appropriate to their subject. For Extended Essays, we support research question formulation, outline development, academic writing standards, and citation requirements through systematic drafting and feedback sessions.

We maintain the same 1:6 small group format, inquiry-based discourse, and individualised feedback in online classes as in-person sessions. Many IB students prefer the saved commute time, and our ClassIn platform supports collaborative learning, screen sharing for mathematics, and document annotation for IAs and essays.

Concept clarity and confidence often improve within weeks as students develop systematic approaches to IB-style questions. Measurable grade shifts (moving from level 4 to 5-6, or 5 to 6-7) typically appear across 1–2 terms, depending on starting gaps and consistency. IB assessment is criterion-referenced, so improvement depends on meeting specific rubric requirements rather than exam curves.

IB tuition fees (IBDP Years 5–6) are SGD $616 per month for a standard 4-lesson package (2 hours per lesson). For better value, our 13-lesson term package costs SGD $1,848, giving you one additional lesson at no extra cost. These IB tuition fees cover small group classes with a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6, comprehensive HL/SL content, support for IAs and Extended Essay, and guidance between lessons. We offer multi-subject discounts for students taking multiple IB subjects. Visit our pricing page for detailed package information.

IB tuition differs from A-Level tuition in curriculum scope, assessment approach, and skills emphasis. The IBDP requires six subjects plus Core components (Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, CAS), whilst A-Levels typically involve 3-4 H2 subjects. IB assessment combines final examinations with Internal Assessments (IAs) throughout the two years, requiring sustained effort rather than exam-focused preparation. Our IB tuition addresses these unique demands: rubric-aligned IA guidance, TOK and EE support, criterion-referenced marking understanding, and development of IB Learner Profile attributes. IB tuition also emphasises inquiry-based learning and ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills that extend beyond subject content.

The ideal time to start IB tuition is early in Year 1 (DP1), as the IBDP involves substantial coursework beyond examinations. Internal Assessments begin in Year 1, and the Extended Essay requires 18-24 months of sustained work. Starting IB tuition early allows students to understand IA requirements, develop strong foundations in HL subjects, and receive guidance on research methodology before deadlines become pressing. IB Year 1 students also benefit from early exposure to IB assessment rubrics, which differ significantly from IGCSE or O-Level marking schemes. However, committed Year 2 students can still achieve improvements with intensive support and focused revision.

Small group IB tuition offers distinct advantages for IBDP students. The IB programme emphasises collaborative learning, critical thinking, and communication skills—all enhanced in small group settings. In our 1:6 format, IB students benefit from peer discussion (essential for TOK and IA development), exposure to different perspectives (valued in IB assessment), and collaborative problem-solving (central to IB pedagogy). Small group IB tuition is also significantly more cost-effective than one-to-one (which typically costs SGD $150-$250+ per hour for experienced IB tutors) whilst maintaining substantial individual attention. Our structured approach ensures systematic coverage of HL/SL content and consistent support across all IBDP components.
