IB Maths AI Tutor45/45 IB graduateCornell University3+ years' IB tutoring

I’m Shivani, an IB graduate with 45 points who now studies Psychology at Cornell University. I achieved 7s in HL Math AI and HL Psychology, and I’ve been tutoring IB students for over 3 years. Many students struggle with complex mathematical concepts because the more fundamental ideas are a little bit confusing. So, I focus on ensuring that the core concepts are understood and then the more complex concepts become easier to break down. With Psychology students, I focus on helping them develop a structure for exam writing, which influences how they learn as well. I also help develop exam strategies that are personalized to each student's needs. I see myself as a mentor as much as a tutor. Outside of tutoring, I love cooking, travelling, and swimming!

IB specialist

IB Maths AI Tutor16 years' teaching

I’m Daniel, an IB Examiner for Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) HL with about 23 years of tutoring experience and 16 years of teaching mathematics in international schools across Africa, Asia, and Europe. I hold an MSc in Mathematics from University of Macau and I've guided students through a whole range of curricula—from IB MYP and DP to IGCSEs and A-Levels, even university-level exams. I've also prepped students for top university entrance tests like the TMUA and MAT, and trained students for contests like the Maths Olympiad. All these has really shaped how I teach, combining conceptual depth with analytical precision, all while making sure students are exam-ready. My lessons are interactive, structured, and highly visual. I use LiveBoard and colorful digital slides to break down complex ideas into clear, step-by-step explanations. I encourage students to understand not just how to solve a problem, but why each step works—building deeper insight and lasting confidence. I’m particularly skilled at helping students build confidence and thrive at a pace that suits their individual learning needs. Outside teaching, I love movies, coding, keeping up with world events, and, of course, spending time with my family.

AI at Swiss universities

Maths AI is accepted on the same terms as AA in Switzerland

At Swiss universities, Maths AI is not a second-best course. swissuniversities lists applications and interpretation beside analysis and approaches, at SL or HL, as recognised maths subjects. EPFL states that both courses are accepted, and ETH Zurich names either one for its maths HL.

What decides entry, then, is the level and the grade. ETH and EPFL need AI at HL inside a high total: 38 of 42 points at ETH, and at EPFL 38, or 36 for Swiss and resident families (our Lausanne page explains EPFL's conditions). Elsewhere, AI at SL fills the maths category; when HL matters is covered on our Maths AA page.

Two cautions. Abroad, TU Delft takes only AA HL and some UK STEM courses prefer AA, so check a Dutch or British engineering shortlist early. And the names matter: Basel rejects the old "Math Studies", and Geneva and Lausanne list "Mathematics studies" as not recognised; those are an older course, not today's AI.

Who AI suits

Students who enjoy maths applied to real questions and can explain what a result means. It sits naturally beside IB Biology, Geography or Economics, whose investigations draw on the same statistics.

Results

Maths AI HL, the level ETH and EPFL look for

AI HL is a small entry: 8,527 candidates in May 2025, against 42,968 at SL. A 4 was its most common grade, and 25.6% of candidates reached a 6 or 7. At SL the mean was 3.9, the lowest of the four IB maths courses.

SL or HL

How AI HL differs from AI SL

The step to HL is steep. Geometry and calculus hours more than double, and new material arrives: matrices and eigenvalues, graph theory, Markov chains and differential equations.

Standard Level

Maths AI SL

  • 150 hours of teaching
  • Paper 1 (short questions) and Paper 2 (longer ones), 90 minutes each, with a calculator
  • Exams 80% of the grade, exploration 20%
  • Fills the maths category at most Swiss universities
  • Not enough for ETH or EPFL
Higher Level

Maths AI HL

  • 240 hours of teaching
  • Papers 1 and 2 of two hours each and a one-hour Paper 3 built around two longer problems
  • P1 and P2 30% each, P3 20%, exploration 20%
  • Accepted as the maths HL by ETH and EPFL
  • Counts as the maths HL under swissuniversities’ rule

The course

What the Maths AI syllabus covers

Statistics is the largest topic at both levels, and a graphing calculator is allowed on every paper, so fluent GDC technique is worth as many marks as content knowledge. The exploration is worth 20% and can be redrafted before submission.

A revised version of the course is taught from August 2027 and first examined in May 2029; current students finish on today's syllabus.

Reviews

Reviews from families who book our IB tutors

“We have been extremely impressed with the service provided by Lanterna. They were quick to respond when we requested a tutor, and we were matched with Omar, an HL Mathematics tutor. Omar has been fantastic, always available to help our son, who was struggling significantly with mathematics. Thanks to Omar's dedication and expertise, our son managed to score a 7 on one of the papers of his exam in just two months! Thank you so much!”
“We have been extremely impressed with the…” Mathematics
“I contacted Lanterna in my daughter's final year of the IB programme and I only wish I had contacted them sooner! From the start, they took care to identify my daughter's needs and to match her with the most appropriate Tutor. Our experience with her tutor was overwhelmingly positive. His level of dedication went above and beyond the call of duty. Lessons were well prepared and constructive feedback was consistently given.”
Shelly D. Physics
“Every tutor we met through Lanterna was not only academically outstanding but also remarkably patient, encouraging, and generous with their time. They helped my daughter grow into a stronger and more independent learner. We feel incredibly fortunate that such exceptional former IBDP students became her mentors.”

FAQs

Maths AI tutoring for Swiss families: your questions

My child takes Maths AI. Can a tutor still prepare them for ETH or EPFL?

Yes. Both institutes accept Applications and Interpretation, so there is no need to change course; what they require is maths at HL inside a high total. A Lanterna tutor works on the HL content that costs marks, typically calculus, matrices and the statistics of Paper 3, and helps your child explain results in the precise language AI mark schemes reward.

Where can a student in Zurich or Lausanne find a Maths AI tutor?

Online, with Lanterna. Families in Zurich, Lausanne and smaller towns choose from the same Applications and Interpretation tutors, from IB graduates to experienced DP teachers and specialists. Book a free consultation, tell us the level and the latest test result, and we propose a tutor.

Can a tutor help with the statistics in an AI exploration?

That is one of the most common reasons families come to us. A tutor can help your child find data worth analysing, choose a test that suits it (regression, chi-squared or a t-test at HL) and understand what each criterion rewards. The analysis and the writing stay your child's own; our internal assessment page explains the rules on help.

What do Maths AI lessons cost for a family in Switzerland?

The starting rate is £58 (~65 CHF) an hour; the franc amount is an estimate, as we charge in pounds. It varies with the tutor type and the number of lessons in a package, and we explain the options in a free consultation.

Which part of AI SL should a tutor tackle first for a student on a 3?

Usually the calculator. A student who can run a regression or solve an equation on the GDC without hesitating gains time for the questions that ask them to interpret the answer. No grade can be promised, but the students we have tutored in Maths AI rose on average from 3.7 to 4.8.

We are weighing TU Delft as well as ETH. Can a tutor help with that maths decision?

We can help you weigh it in a consultation, and the answer depends on the university list. For Swiss universities, including ETH and EPFL, a switch is not needed. For engineering at TU Delft it is, because Delft accepts only AA HL. If a switch makes sense, your school's IB coordinator decides how late it can happen, and a tutor can then close the gap in algebra and proof that AA assumes.
