HL · SL · MYP — CURRENT SYLLABUS
Online IB Physics Tutor Coached to a 6 or 7
1-on-1 lessons built around the current IBDP syllabus — HL, SL, MYP. We don't teach physics in general. We teach how Paper 1B is marked, how the IA is graded, and how command terms move you a full band.
Trusted by IB families in Geneva, London, Dubai, Singapore, Mumbai & Toronto.
WHY MOST IB PHYSICS HELP FAILS
Generic physics tutors
can't teach the IB
IB Physics isn't hard physics with an IB sticker. It's a separate discipline — Data Booklet workflow, command-term grammar, a 10-hour IA, and the new Paper 1B Data Analysis. School covers the content. Mark recovery happens between the lines.
⚠️
Command terms cost more marks than calculus
Deduce, Explain, Determine, Evaluate — each has a mark-scheme meaning. Most students lose 8–12 marks a paper writing the wrong shape of answer.
📉
Paper 1B is graphs, not formulas
Linearisation, uncertainties, gradients, intercepts. Few schools dedicate weekly time to it. Examiners do.
🎯
The IA is 20% of your grade
And the part school teaching covers least. Most 5s become 6s on IA marks alone.
DEFINITION
What is an
online IB Physics tutor?
An online IB Physics tutor is a subject specialist who teaches the IB Diploma Physics syllabus — MYP, SL, or HL — through live 1-on-1 video lessons. A qualified IB Physics tutor is trained on the current IB Physics syllabus (Themes A–E), the Paper 1A, 1B, and 2 formats, the official Data Booklet, the IB command-term list, and the five Internal Assessment criteria.

Straight answers to the questions IB Physics parents and students ask us most — written to be clear, specific, and genuinely useful.
Book a Free Trial Class →
What is an online IB Physics tutor?
An online IB Physics tutor is a subject specialist who teaches the IB Diploma Physics syllabus — MYP, SL, or HL — through live 1-on-1 video lessons aligned to the current IB Physics syllabus, the Data Booklet, command terms, and the IA criteria.
How much does an online IB Physics tutor cost?
Plans are packaged by level (HL/SL/MYP) and weekly hours, and we walk you through the exact plan after your free trial. The diagnostic trial class is free — no card, no pressure.
How long does it take to improve an IB Physics grade?
Most students see measurable improvement within 6–8 weeks of weekly tutoring. Moving from a 4 to a 6 typically takes ~3 months. Moving from a 6 to a 7 — mostly technique and Paper 1B — usually takes 6–8 weeks of focused coaching.
How does an online tutor help with Paper 1B Data Analysis?
Paper 1B is data-based and rewards linearisation, uncertainty propagation, and reading information from gradients and areas. We run weekly Paper 1B drills using past-paper datasets and Logger Pro, until you can extract a constant from a graph in under six minutes.
Can a tutor help with the IB Physics IA?
Yes. Educifly coaches all five IA criteria (A–E): research question, method, data and analysis, conclusion, and evaluation. Tutors coach — they do not write your IA, in line with IB academic-honesty rules.
Why do command terms matter in IB Physics?
IB command terms (State, Outline, Describe, Explain, Deduce, Determine, Evaluate, Suggest) each have precise mark-scheme meanings. Answering Deduce as if it were Explain loses marks, because Deduce requires linking your answer to information already given in the question.
Do you teach the current IB Physics syllabus?
Yes. All tutors and resources are aligned to Themes A–E, the Paper 1A / 1B / 2 format, and the updated IA framework. Paper 3 has been removed and is not in our materials.
Is IB Physics HL really harder than SL?
Yes. HL adds five major content extensions — rigid body mechanics, thermodynamics, wave optics, electromagnetic induction and capacitors, and modern quantum physics — and is examined over more total time than SL.
How does the first session work?
The first session is a free 60-minute trial. Share your hardest topics and any upcoming tests. The tutor runs a short diagnostic and finishes by sharing a personalised plan. No card, no pressure.
What if the tutor isn't a good fit?
Tell us. We re-match within 24 hours, at no charge. The free trial exists exactly so fit is established before any commitment.
How quickly can I be matched with an IB Physics tutor?
Most students are matched within 24–48 hours, including weekends. Urgent exam-prep cases are usually matched same-day.
Do you cover IB Physics in Europe (Geneva, Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam)?
Yes. Europe is a core region — students in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, The Hague, Paris, and Stockholm are taught live in CET/CEST evening slots, with Paper 1B and HL extensions as the most-requested focus.
Is online IB Physics tuition as good as in person?
Yes — online IB Physics tuition is often better for the IB. An online IB Physics tutor shares the Data Booklet, runs Logger Pro and PhET on a shared screen, and drills Paper 1B datasets live — all hard to replicate at a kitchen table. You also get matched to a true IB specialist, not just whoever is local.
Don’t let Physics drag your IB total down.
One free 30-minute class. A real diagnostic. A written plan in your inbox the same day. No card. No commitment.
