IB Tutors in Dhaka

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year pre-university curriculum built around six subject groups plus a core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service. Mathematics sits in its own group and, since the 2019 curriculum change, is offered as two distinct courses rather than one: Analysis and Approaches (AA), aimed at students who want a more traditional, calculus-heavy path often suited to engineering, physical sciences, or economics, and Applications and Interpretation (AI), which leans more toward statistics, modelling, and technology-assisted problem solving, often chosen by students heading toward biology, social sciences, or business.

Both AA and AI can be studied at Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL), and a student's choice between the two courses and the two levels is one of the most consequential academic decisions of the Diploma, since switching later in the programme is disruptive and generally discouraged by schools. LatteTutors maintains a verified tutor network for IB Mathematics across all four combinations — AA HL, AA SL, AI HL, and AI SL — and we ask every tutor to confirm which specific combination they have genuinely taught, since AA and AI diverge meaningfully in content despite sharing a subject name.

In Dhaka, IB Diploma schools cluster near Baridhara and Gulshan, close to schools such as the International School Dhaka (ISD) and other IB World Schools serving the diplomatic and international community. This page explains how IB Mathematics is assessed and scored, what tutoring support looks like within the Diploma's academic integrity rules, and how our verification process works.

Every IB Diploma subject, including both Mathematics AA and AI, is graded on a 1-to-7 scale, with 7 the highest and 1 the lowest, based on final examinations combined with an internally assessed component. For Mathematics specifically, that internal component is the Mathematical Exploration, a short piece of independent investigative work worth 20% of the final subject grade, assessed by the student's own teacher and moderated externally by the IB.

Across the full Diploma, a student's six subject grades can contribute up to 42 points, and up to 3 additional points come from a combined matrix of Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay grades, bringing the maximum possible Diploma score to 45. Candidates need a minimum of 24 points overall, alongside several additional conditions — including limits on how many subjects can be graded below a certain level — to be awarded the Diploma itself, rather than a passing score in Mathematics alone being sufficient on its own.

Because the Mathematical Exploration is teacher-assessed coursework rather than an external exam, and because IB grade boundaries for the written papers are set independently each session, we do not present tutoring as something that can guarantee a specific 1-to-7 grade or a specific overall Diploma score. What consistent tutoring support can realistically help with is stronger command of AA or AI specific content, better technique on IB-style command terms, and a clearer, well-scaffolded approach to the Exploration's mathematical reasoning — while the Exploration's actual analysis and write-up must remain the student's own original work.

The IB Diploma has a smaller but well-established footprint in Dhaka compared to Cambridge O Level, A Level, or IGCSE, concentrated mainly among international and diplomatic-community schools around Baridhara and Gulshan, including the International School Dhaka (ISD) and other IB World Schools in the same catchment. Because the cohort size for any single IB Mathematics combination — say, AI SL — is often smaller at any one school than an equivalent Cambridge subject cohort, students and families sometimes find it harder to access peer study groups or in-school extra help, which is where a specialist outside tutor tends to add the most value.

Families requesting IB Mathematics tutoring in Dhaka most often do so around three points in the two-year programme: early in Year 1 when choosing or adjusting between AA and AI, mid-programme when building consistent understanding ahead of internal mocks, and in the final months before May or November examinations when past-paper practice and Exploration finalisation both compete for time. Because IB families are frequently mobile between international postings, mid-year transfers into or out of Dhaka schools are also a real pattern we plan around, sometimes requiring a tutor to help a student catch up quickly on unfamiliar AA or AI content taught differently at a previous school.

IB Mathematics tutoring works best, and stays within the Diploma's own academic honesty expectations, when it focuses on building genuine understanding of AA or AI content and command of exam technique, rather than on producing work for the student. This distinction matters most for the Mathematical Exploration: a tutor can help a student understand mathematical concepts, discuss possible topics, and give feedback on drafts, but the analysis, calculations, and final write-up must remain the student's own, since IB moderators specifically check for exactly this kind of independent authorship. LatteTutors is explicit with every tutor we verify that this is the expectation, and we do not present or market our tutors as a way to complete coursework on a student's behalf.

Every tutor on LatteTutors passes an identity and academic background check before being shown to a parent, and for IB Mathematics specifically we confirm whether a tutor's real teaching experience covers AA, AI, or both, and at which level, since a tutor strong in AA HL calculus is not automatically well suited to AI SL's more applied, technology-driven content.

We are a matching and verification service, not the IB organisation or a school: LatteTutors does not set, mark, moderate, or award IB Diploma grades, and no tutoring arrangement we facilitate can guarantee a specific 1-to-7 grade or overall Diploma score, since those depend on the student's own examination performance and internally assessed work, moderated independently by the IB.
