Best IB tutors in Surrey & online

I’m Julius, an IB graduate with 42 points currently studying Medicine at Heidelberg University. During my IB, I particularly enjoyed German, Biology, and Business Management, which I now also offer as tutoring subjects. Besides earning 7s in all three, I also received the Academic Excellence Award for best student in Biology and English Lang&Lit. I started tutoring during my first exchange year in England, where I served as prefect for Humanities (Psychology and Business Management) and German. During my IBDP, I continued helping younger peers with their essays and curriculum questions. After graduating from the IB, I worked at a local language school teaching English and managing their language camps. I tailor my lessons to each student’s individual needs and learning style. My sessions are engaging and interactive, focusing on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a positive, supportive learning environment. Effective teaching strategies I use include setting clear goals and achievable milestones, employing a variety of teaching methods, and integrating up-to-date course content. I always provide students with additional revision and study material, and I encourage them to complete my optional worksheets, essays, and practice questions between sessions to foster creative thinking and strengthen knowledge retention. I personally correct each assignment and give detailed feedback. At the same time, I carefully adapt the pace and workload to each student’s existing IB commitments. During sessions, I combine in-depth explanations with visual materials for complex topics, encourage discussions to deepen understanding, and use hands-on activities that connect syllabus content to real-world examples. I strive to help students think positively about academic challenges and develop a holistic understanding of each subject rather than a narrow, surface-level view. Additionally, I dedicate the first 15 minutes of each session to “toolkit training” - using spaced repetition to revisit previous material or to strengthen the key skills each course demands. Beyond academics, I aim to inspire genuine curiosity and passion for each subject, even for those students who might currently find them challenging. Tutoring, for me, is not only about academic progress but also about empathy: understanding the stress and pressure IB students face. My own IB journey wasn’t always easy; I had to integrate into a new school and strengthen my own course skills, such as learning how to structure essays effectively and manage my time better. Now, I hope to share those lessons and strategies to help the next generation of IB students succeed.

I’m Sreeja an IB graduate who now studies medicine in UCL. I’m currently in my third year where I’m completing an integrated Bachelors in Science (iBSC) in Anatomy, Cell Development and Biology. I achieved 7’s in Biology HL, Chemistry HL and Maths AA HL and have been teaching these subjects in both SL and HL for 3 years now. I also teach MYP sciences and maths. I’ve experience tutoring both in person and online for a range of ages so I have the ability to communicate to a wide range of students. I have different approaches to teaching depending on the subject and what the student responds best to. In Maths, I focus on being able to tackle problems so once the student understands the concept, we start doing practice problems. Starting with simple ones and slowly building up to more complex questions. In Biology and Chemistry I use a lot of diagrams and ask students to explain concepts back so I understand they know. I also do lots of practice IB questions with students so they understand how to structure their answers the key words IB examiners are looking for. Outside of tutoring I enjoy drawing, reading and walks in nature.

I’m Thairah, an IB graduate who achieved 41 points and now studies Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics, and Economics (MORSE) at the University of Warwick. I have over 4 years of experience tutoring students aged 11–18, supporting learners across a range of levels. My core subjects include IB Economics and Maths, as well as GCSE and KS3 Maths. Beyond curriculum teaching, I’ve guided students through Extended Essays, helping with topic refinement, structure, research direction, and academic writing skills. I understand first-hand the challenges of exams and large projects and I enjoy helping students navigate them with confidence. My lessons are interactive, engaging, and shaped around each student’s learning style and individual needs. I specialise in simplifying complex theory into clear, logical steps so that students can understand and apply concepts effectively, no matter their starting level. Many of my students see me as both a tutor and a mentor. My aim is to build knowledge, exam technique, and self-belief. Outside of tutoring, I love staying active at the gym, playing chess, travelling (30+ countries!), reading, learning languages, and playing piano. Connecting with people from different backgrounds comes naturally to me, and I bring that same adaptability and warmth into every lesson.

Over the twenty years of my teaching career, I’ve taught both the MYP and the DP in four IB schools around the world, engaging with many different cultures and building lasting relationships with students as I’ve prepared them for the rigours of internal assessments and final exams. When I teach, I like to get to the heart of things, revealing the fundamental principles behind the essential skills.

I’m Attila, a passionate Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics teacher with over 25 years of international teaching experience, including IB, A-Level, and IGCSE programmes. I currently lead the IB and A-Level Computer Science department at King’s College Alicante. I hold an MSc in Computing (Cyber Security and Human Factors) from Bournemouth University, a BSc in Electrical Engineering, and teaching qualifications in both Physics and Technical Education. Over my career, I’ve lectured at universities and colleges in the UK, developed online computing courses, and supervised research in emerging technologies such as blockchain and quantum computing. My approach to tutoring is practical, engaging, and concept-driven. I focus on helping students truly understand the logic behind problems—whether in coding, physics, or mathematics—so they can think critically and perform confidently in exams. I enjoy mentoring students toward independence, creativity, and a love of technology. Outside of teaching, I’m an avid volleyball player and coach, a musician, and a lifelong learner with a curiosity for how systems—technological or human—work. I teach in English and Spanish and enjoy helping students from diverse backgrounds reach their full potential.

I have taught a range of IB subjects, particularly in group 3 (History, Global Politics) and Theory of Knowledge, and am specialised in helping English language learners succeed in the IB Diploma.
