Online IB teacher cover for schools
When a teacher leaves, the class keeps going.
Your teacher left mid-year, or you can’t fill the post. Educifly sends a live, IB-experienced teacher who takes the class online. They follow your course plan and IA dates, and report to your DP Coordinator every term.
15 minutes. No obligation. You’ll know on the call if we can cover it.

WHAT IT IS
Online IB teacher cover:
a real IB teacher, in your timetable
IN ONE PARAGRAPH
Online IB teacher cover means a qualified, IB-experienced teacher takes over a class live online when a school’s own teacher can’t. Educifly provides this cover to IB World Schools for a term, a year, or the full two-year course. The teacher follows the school’s course plan and IA dates, marks the work, and sends the DP Coordinator a report every term.
IA means internal assessment: coursework the school marks and the IB checks. Every IB subject has some.
WHERE SCHOOLS GET STUCK
It’s never a good time
to lose a DP teacher
“Our teacher left mid-year.”
They resigned in January, and DP2 has IA deadlines in weeks. Your students can’t wait for a new hire. We can start a teacher on your timetable.
“We’ve advertised, and we can’t hire.”
Some posts don’t fill, especially in small subjects. An online teacher keeps the course running while you keep looking, or for as long as you need.
“Our teacher is going on long leave.”
Maternity leave, illness or a sabbatical. We cover the class for the full leave and hand back cleanly when your teacher returns.
“A transfer student needs a subject we don’t teach.”
One new student, one subject you don’t offer. We can teach them on their own, alongside your timetable.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps
from call to cover
STEP 1
A 15-minute call
Tell us the subject, SL or HL, DP1 or DP2, how many students, your timetable, and how long you need cover. We’ll tell you on the call if we can staff it.
STEP 2
Teacher matched, then a trial lesson
We choose a teacher who has taught that IB subject and level, and who fits your time zone. The class meets them in a trial lesson before you commit.
STEP 3
Lessons start, reports follow
The teacher takes over your timetable slots. Each term, your DP Coordinator gets a written report on every student.

No obligation. If we can’t staff it, we’ll say so on the call.
THE HANDOVER
Send us six things,
and we’ll do the rest
A clean handover is what makes cover work. These six things let our teacher pick up from the right place in week one.
1
Where the class is in the course: the course plan, and the last topic taught.
2
IA dates: draft and final deadlines for internal assessment.
3
The class list: with any learning support notes.
4
Marks so far: recent tests and coursework grades.
5
Your timetable: lesson times and your time zone.
6
Platform access: the system your school uses for lessons and classwork, such as Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams.
What our teacher does in week one
✓
Meets the class in a live lesson, and finds out what they know.
✓
Checks the IA timeline against the course plan.

FAQ
Teacher cover:
what coordinators ask
01
How fast can a cover teacher start?
A cover teacher can start as soon as we’ve matched the right teacher to your class. We match the teacher, run a trial lesson with the class, and then take over your timetable slots. We’ll tell you on the first call how soon we can start.
02
Which IB subjects can you cover?
We cover IB Diploma Mathematics (AA and AI), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Management, English A, and languages at ab initio and Language B. Each class gets a teacher who has taught that subject and level.
03
Can you cover a whole class, not just one student?
Yes. A cover teacher can take a whole class, a small group or one student. There is no minimum number of students.
04
Who handles the IA and exam preparation?
We work with your coordinator on IA and exam preparation. Our teacher keeps to your IA deadlines and helps each student plan and improve their work. Your school keeps the final say on how internal assessment is run and signed off.
05
What time zones do you cover?
We teach IB students in Europe, the Middle East, India, Singapore and Hong Kong. So lessons can usually fit inside your school day in those time zones. For schools elsewhere, share your timetable on the call and we’ll confirm a teacher who can match it.
06
How do you report to us?
Our teacher sends the DP Coordinator a written report every term for each student. It covers attendance, progress, a predicted grade, and where each student is with IA.
07
How are your teachers vetted?
Every Educifly teacher is vetted and background-checked before they teach. We only send a teacher who has taught the IB subject and level they will cover. Safeguarding documents are available to your school on request.
08
Can we start in January, and how long can cover last?
Yes, cover can start in January or at any point in the year. It can last one term, one year, or the full two-year course. It can also end when your own teacher returns.
09
How much does online IB teacher cover cost?
School rates for online IB teacher cover depend on the level, the size of the class and how long you need cover, and we quote them on a 15-minute call. Packages are available for one term, one year or the full two-year course. Each school gets one invoice, in its own currency.
