IB Math – One of our core competencies

IB Mathematics is one of the most challenging subjects in the IB Diploma and is also one of our core areas of expertise. Many students require targeted support in this subject, as both the content level and the IB-specific assessment criteria are particularly complex.

We provide comprehensive support to IB students in:

During the IB Diploma, students write Internal Assessments (IAs), Extended Essays (EEs), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and Essays & Presentations.
We specialize in providing professional, structural, and strategic support throughout this entire process—with the goal of achieving the highest possible score.

Our Answers to Your Questions

Everything you should know before you start.

What makes IB Tutoring special?

The International Baccalaureate has different requirements than national curricula. In addition to subject knowledge, assessment criteria, internal assessments (IA), extended essays (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and specific exam strategies play an important role. Our tutors specialize in the IB and are thoroughly familiar with the program’s requirements.
