Online IB, A-Level, IGCSE, AP, SAT & UCAT tutoring with tutors who've been there

They did it, and they did it well.

At IBPapa, our tutors have been in your shoes, journeying the murky waters of IB, A-Levels, IGCSE, UCAT, or the SAT, and are now studying at top-tier global universities.

We know that these exams aren’t a measure of how “smart” you are. Scoring well isn’t about being a genius, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re not capable. These exams test specific skills, strategies, and ways of thinking that aren’t always taught in the classroom or intuitive.

Many of our tutors once found certain subjects or tests challenging too, but they discovered the right approaches, and now they’re here to teach you what works.

We believe every student can succeed with the right support. Your tutor will focus on practical study methods, exam techniques, and building your confidence, so you can achieve your personal best, no matter where you’re starting from.

How our diversity can help you

Our tutors come from around the world and bring their wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

Just let us know your preference, and we’ll do our best to match you with a tutor who meets your needs.

What our students say

"A [name initialised for tutor's privacy] is a great tutor! After multiple tutors for IB chemistry I was on the verge of giving up my search for a tutor. I found A as a tutor because a friend of mine had him as his math and biology tutor. He is fun to talk to and is really relatable. In A’s classes, I not only learnt to like chemistry, but I actively noticed how I got better, more motivated and more confident in chemistry. He is perfectly familiar with the IB and helped me to get my IB SL chemistry grade from a 3 to a 6 in my finals!!"
