Best IB tutors in Zurich & online

My name is Maja and I am currently a PhD student at King’s College London working on therapies for blindness. Before this, I got a BSc in Biochemistry and MSc in Neuroscience at Imperial College in London. I graduated from the IB with 43 points and 7s in my HLs of Biology, Chemistry and maths. I’ve been tutoring since I graduated from school and have 8 years of experience with students 1-on-1 and in group settings. I try to take a personalised approach to each student and focus on exam strategies that really work. I am also happy to advise on career paths and university admissions.

I'm Maria, an IB graduate who achieved 7s in Biology HL, Chemistry HL, and English A Language & Literature HL. I now study Biomedical Science at Monash University and tutor all three subjects at both SL and HL. I have strong experience in Chemistry and Biology and a solid background in academic writing and communication that informs my English tutoring. I teach both content and provide IA/HL essay support. All my IAs and my HL essay individually received high 7s, and I have extensive experience helping students refine their ideas, structure and phrase writing appropriately, and strengthen scientific reasoning to meet the IB criteria. I really emphasise a personalised and interactive approach to teaching - I design each class around your goals, learning style, and pace. Rather than lecturing or just “delivering content,” my lessons are conversational and collaborative - I ask you questions, sketch diagrams on screen, break concepts down visually, and encourage you to work through ideas with me. My goal is to help you understand why something works, not just memorise what the syllabus says. I focus on exam-centric strategies, confidence-building, and creating a supportive environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and engaging deeply with the material. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy music, art, and getting lost in a good book! I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in achieving your academic goals!

I have over 15 years of experience teaching both face-to-face and online across a range of international curricula. I currently teach Economics and Business, delivering the IB Diploma Programme Economics (HL & SL), Cambridge AS/AL Economics, OCR GCSE Economics, Cambridge IGCSE Business and Economics, Pearson GCSE Economics, and Pearson International Advanced Level Economics and Business. In addition, I serve as an examiner and assessment specialist for several awarding bodies, including OCR, Cambridge, and Pearson.

I’m Vatsal, an IB graduate with 42 points who now studies Natural Sciences at Cambridge. I did 4 HLs in IBDP - Maths AA, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and achieved a 7 in all of them. I have tutored for around 2 years, both online and for friends in person. My style is to understand a student's experiences and interests and relate concepts being taught to those. I like working on fundamentals and first principles as well as an emphasis on problem-solving. I see myself as a mentor as much as a tutor. Outside of academics, I love sports (especially tennis, NBA, F1), eating, and photography.

Hi, I’m Angela, an experienced IB educator and Head of English at Pathways School Gurgaon. With over 30 years in international education, I’ve guided students through both MYP and DP English Language & Literature, helping them discover not only how to write well but how to think deeply.

I am Monika, a certified German and English teacher with extensive international experience in IB MYP and DP programmes. I have been teaching IB German A, B (SL/HL), and Ab initio for several years across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, preparing students for outstanding results in their final exams. With a Master’s in German Language and Literature, plus a BA in both German as a Foreign Language and English Language and Literature, I bring deep subject knowledge and over 20 years of teaching experience, from UK curricula to international schools. I have also authored student books and digital learning materials used in the classroom. My teaching style focuses on creating engaging, learner-centred lessons, building confidence, and developing exam strategies tailored to individual learning needs. I value clear communication, cultural context, and helping students think critically in the target language. Beyond teaching, I love reading and exploring literature, sewing and designing clothes, swimming, gardening, travelling and taking long walk with my dog.

I have taught a range of IB subjects, particularly in group 3 (History, Global Politics) and Theory of Knowledge, and am specialised in helping English language learners succeed in the IB Diploma. I focus on building foundational comprehension and critical thinking skills, and supporting approaches to learning that help students gain confidence and autonomy.

I am Fiona, a passionate and empathetic IBDP Chemistry & MYP Science educator with over nine years of experience teaching IBDP Chemistry and Cambridge Chemistry both online and in international schools. I hold a Bachelor of Education (Science) in Chemistry and Mathematics and an IB Educator Certificate (IBEC) from the University of British Columbia. I’m also pursuing a Master of Education in Advanced Teaching through the University of the People, funded by the International Baccalaureate. I have completed IB Category 1 & 2 workshops in Chemistry and Category 3 training in Approaches to Teaching and Learning, enhancing my ability to deliver engaging, concept-based lessons. My online sessions simplify complex Chemistry concepts, strengthen analytical and problem-solving skills, and build confidence for IAs, EEs, and exams through targeted guidance and feedback. I believe in making Chemistry meaningful by linking theory to real-life applications. My approach combines clarity, empathy, and encouragement to help every learner grow in confidence and understanding. Outside teaching, I enjoy working with the community, spending time with the less fortunate, and engaging in service initiatives that inspire compassion and purpose.

My name is Susanne, IB teacher since 2010. I have been teaching the IB A courses for over 15 years now and have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with IB students. I am also very familiar with the demands of the Cambridge IGCSE First Language course. I have worked as an IB examiner for several of the A Language components, including the Extended Essay. I have worked with German A students of all abilities and a number of different national and international backgrounds. I am aware of neurodiverse conditions, learning needs and gifted and talented special considerations. I have always been able to cater for all my students in a tailored way and numerous thank-you-letters from both students and their parents bear witness to this. My special field of interest is the supervision of the Extended Essay. I was EE coordinator for several years and I am an IB EE examiner. I have looked after students’ EEs in German B and English B, but mainly in German A. Most of them achieved a B or an A, often close to, or reaching, full marks. To me, the Extended Essay is the most fascinating of the DP core elements: it is a process of personal and academic growth and a matter of pride for students to have accomplished this task. I have always felt privileged to be part of this process. Each student brings their own core of subject and general knowledge to the session. I find where this connects with the skills and the content they need to know at the end of our time together. I give my students clear guidance and timelines and will always provide them with enough work and feedback to achieve the best version of learning for them. My lessons usually include a sizeable portion of laughter and discussion because voicing opinions and exploring topics without the fear of ridicule is the most efficient way to learn precise language and careful appreciation of other people and their texts. This includes the student’s own written work and every work of literature or media publication we deal with in class. This is even easier in 1:1 sessions when I can tailor content and pace exclusively. My life outside of tutoring contains a lot of line dancing, theatre, cooking and baking, music, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of our planet.

I’m Sahir, a seasoned IB Economics and Business Management educator with over 15 years of experience teaching the IBDP, A-Level, and IGCSE programmes across Europe, North America, and Asia. I hold advanced IB certifications (Category 3) and have taught at prestigious international schools including École des Roches in France and Gaudium et Studium in Poland. Alongside classroom teaching, I serve as an IB Economics and Extended Essay examiner and contribute to the IB’s global risk assessment and quality control team—ensuring fair and consistent marking worldwide. With over 8,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring experience, I’ve helped countless students achieve top 6–7 grade outcomes and a 100% pass rate. My tutoring style focuses on building conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and exam technique, combining data-driven teaching with practical strategies that help students feel confident and in control. Outside of teaching, I’m passionate about behavioral economics, and exploring local cultures during my travels. I speak English and Urdu, and enjoy connecting with students from diverse backgrounds who share a curiosity for global learning.
