IB tuition Singapore
IB tutors matched to the exact subject, level, and deadline.
One-to-one support for Diploma Programme students taking SL or HL subjects, with focused help for concepts, Internal Assessments, and final papers.
The programme
IB Diploma Programme support must fit the whole workload.
The two-year IB Diploma Programme combines six subjects with Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS). Students take at least three and no more than four subjects at Higher Level (HL), with the remainder at Standard Level (SL).
A useful tutor does more than explain tonight's homework. They identify the concepts costing marks, organize practice around the school calendar, and help the student balance immediate assessments with cumulative exam preparation.
SL, HL, AA, or AI
The course label changes the tutor you need.
Higher Level (HL) requires additional depth and content; Standard Level (SL) still demands exact syllabus and assessment knowledge. In mathematics, Analysis and Approaches (AA) emphasizes analytical reasoning, while Applications and Interpretation (AI) emphasizes modelling, context, and technology. Both are offered at SL and HL.
Match the syllabus
We shortlist by the exact subject, course version, and SL or HL—not by a generic subject label.
Match the assessment
Lessons separate conceptual gaps, exam technique, and internally assessed work so effort goes to the right place.
Match the student
The tutor must explain at the student's current level and build independence instead of creating reliance.

What IB tuition costs in Singapore.
A practical market range for one-to-one IB tuition is approximately S$55 to S$130 per hour. This is planning guidance, not a fixed quotation.
Diagnose
The first lessons identify whether the main issue is knowledge, application, timing, mathematical fluency, or response structure.
Plan
The tutor maps weak topics and upcoming assessments into a realistic weekly sequence.
Practise and review
The student attempts targeted work, receives precise feedback, and revisits errors until the method holds under pressure.
Academic honesty is non-negotiable.
Tutors may teach concepts, research skills, planning, analysis, citation, and revision. The student must make the intellectual decisions and submit their own work. EliteMind does not provide ghostwriting or complete assessed work for students.
Parent questions
IB tuition FAQs
How much does IB tuition cost in Singapore?
As an indicative Singapore market guide, one-to-one IB tuition commonly falls around S$55 to S$130 per hour. The final rate depends on the subject, SL or HL, tutor experience, lesson format, location, and urgency. EliteMind confirms the tutor's exact rate before lessons begin.
What is the difference between SL and HL tuition?
Higher Level (HL) courses generally cover greater depth and additional content, so the tutor must be comfortable teaching that specific level. Standard Level (SL) support still needs to follow the correct syllabus, assessment components, and school timeline rather than using generic subject material.
Do you support IB Math AA and Math AI?
Yes. We match for the exact course: Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI), at SL or HL. Families should tell us the course, level, current topics, and calculator model when requesting a tutor.
Can an IB tutor help with Internal Assessments or the Extended Essay?
A tutor can teach research, subject knowledge, planning, analysis, citation, and revision skills. Academic honesty remains essential: the student must make the intellectual decisions and submit their own work. We do not offer ghostwriting or completion of assessed work.
When should an IB student start tuition?
Start when a pattern appears: concepts remain unclear after school lessons, homework consumes excessive time, test errors repeat, an IA is becoming disorganized, or mock exams reveal gaps. A short diagnostic period is usually more useful than waiting for a crisis.
Is online IB tuition effective?
It can be effective when lessons include live working, shared annotation, immediate correction, suitable materials, and a tutor who keeps the student participating. Online matching also gives families access to specialists beyond their neighbourhood.
