Hong Kong families choosing the IB Diploma are usually choosing it over the HKDSE on purpose, for its breadth, its international recognition and the doors it opens to universities in the UK, US, Canada and Australia as well as HKU, CUHK and HKUST. That choice comes with a demanding two years: six subjects, an Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and a stack of Internal Assessments, all on top of a full school timetable.
IBScholarz provides one-to-one online IB tutoring for Hong Kong students, with tutors who teach the IB syllabus specifically. Lessons run live on Hong Kong time, and every session is recorded so your child can revisit it before a test.
IB tutoring for Hong Kong’s international schools
We work with IB MYP and Diploma students from across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, including students at:
- ESF schools, including Island School, King George V School, South Island School, West Island School, Sha Tin College and Renaissance College
- Chinese International School
- German Swiss International School
- French International School
- Canadian International School of Hong Kong
- Victoria Shanghai Academy
- Li Po Chun United World College
IBScholarz is an independent tutoring provider and is not affiliated with any of these schools. We plan each student’s lessons around their own school’s assessment calendar, so IA drafts and mock exams never catch them off guard.
Every IB subject, Higher and Standard Level
- Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (AA) and Applications & Interpretation (AI), HL and SL
- Sciences: Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Environmental Systems & Societies
- Individuals & Societies: Economics, Business Management, Psychology, Geography, History
- Languages: English A Language & Literature, English B, and Chinese language support on request
- The Core: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay guidance and Internal Assessment support in every subject
Economics HL, Chemistry HL and Maths AA HL are the subjects Hong Kong families ask us about most. Many students also want help with the written components of English A, where the jump in expectations between MYP and the Diploma catches people out.
Lessons that carry on through typhoons and rainstorms
All sessions are scheduled in HKT (GMT+8). Weekday lessons run from 4pm to 10pm, with morning and afternoon slots at weekends. Because every lesson is online, nothing is cancelled when a typhoon signal or a black rainstorm warning keeps everyone at home, and no one spends an hour crossing the harbour for a single session.
Ahead of the May examination session we add extra revision slots focused on past papers and timed practice.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer IB tutoring in person in Hong Kong?
All our lessons are online and one-to-one, which means your child is matched with the best tutor for their subject wherever that tutor is based. Lessons use a shared digital whiteboard and every session is recorded.
What time are lessons in Hong Kong?
Lessons are scheduled in HKT (GMT+8). Weekday slots run from 4pm to 10pm, with morning and afternoon slots at weekends and extra revision slots before the May exams.
Should my child take the IB Diploma or the HKDSE?
It depends on where they want to study and how they learn best. The IB Diploma suits students who want breadth and are aiming at universities in several countries; the HKDSE is the standard route into local universities. Both are accepted by HKU, CUHK and HKUST. Our university counselling team can help you think it through.
Can you help with the IA and Extended Essay?
Yes. We help students choose a workable research question, plan the investigation and understand the assessment criteria. The work itself always stays the student’s own, in line with IB academic integrity rules.
How much does IB tutoring in Hong Kong cost?
Pricing depends on the subject, level and how often you want sessions. Contact us for a quote and we will send you the options.
Is the first lesson free?
Yes. Every new student starts with a free trial lesson so you can judge the fit before committing.
