Singapore is one of the most competitive places in the world to sit the IB Diploma. Students here routinely post averages well above the global mean, which means a 38 that would stand out elsewhere can feel ordinary in a Singapore classroom. When the target is NUS, NTU, SMU or a top UK or US university, every point in every subject matters.
IBScholarz gives Singapore students one-to-one online IB tutoring with tutors who teach the IB syllabus and nothing else: the same command terms, the same mark schemes and the same assessment criteria your child is graded on. Lessons run live on Singapore time, and every session is recorded so your child can rewatch the explanation before a test.
IB tutoring for Singapore’s international and independent schools
We tutor IB MYP and Diploma students from schools across the island, including:
- United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA), Dover and East
- Tanglin Trust School
- Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
- Stamford American International School
- Dulwich College (Singapore)
- Canadian International School
- Nexus International School
IBScholarz is an independent tutoring provider and is not affiliated with any of these schools. Because different schools set IAs, mocks and EE deadlines at different points, we build each student’s plan around their own school calendar rather than a generic one.
Every IB subject, Higher and Standard Level
- Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (AA) and Applications & Interpretation (AI), HL and SL
- Sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Environmental Systems & Societies
- Individuals & Societies: Economics, Business Management, Psychology, Geography, History
- Languages: English A Language & Literature, English B, and Chinese B on request
- The Core: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay guidance and Internal Assessment support in every subject
Maths AA HL, Physics HL and Chemistry HL are the subjects Singapore families ask us about most, usually in DP1 when the jump from MYP or IGCSE first shows up in test scores.
IB, A Levels or IGCSE: we tutor all three
Many Singapore families are weighing the IB Diploma against A Levels, or moving between systems when they change schools. Our tutors teach IGCSE and A Level as well as the IB MYP and Diploma, so a student can stay with the same team through the transition instead of starting over.
Lessons scheduled on Singapore time
All sessions are booked in SGT (GMT+8). Weekday lessons run from 4pm to 10pm, so they fit after CCAs, and there are morning and afternoon slots at weekends. In the run-up to the May examination session we add extra revision slots for past-paper practice under timed conditions.
Lessons are live and one-to-one on a shared whiteboard. Recordings are there for revision. They never replace the live lesson.
How it works
- Free trial lesson. Your child meets a tutor matched to their subject and level and works through real material from their current unit.
- A plan built on their school calendar. We map upcoming tests, IA drafts and EE milestones and set a weekly rhythm around them.
- Regular progress updates. Parents hear what was covered, what is improving and what still needs work.
