The best IB IGCSE tuition Gurgaon parents can arrange is not settled by a badge or a star rating; it is settled by checkable evidence and a trial lesson you watch yourself, while home tuition stays IB Gram's lead service for families across the city. Most families reach this page holding two related questions at once: which tutor genuinely knows the IB Diploma Programme (DP) or Middle Years Programme (MYP), and which tutor genuinely knows Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel IGCSE, since a Grade 10 student today is often a DP1 student within eighteen months. This page treats both boards as one household decision rather than two separate searches, and explains exactly what a parent can verify about a tutor before committing to either.
A query for IB and IGCSE tuition in Gurgaon usually starts as one message, but it often hides two different jobs. A family with a Grade 9 student wants Cambridge IGCSE or Pearson Edexcel International GCSE support; a family with a DP1 student wants Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL) subject depth; and a family with both, an older sibling finishing IGCSE while a younger one is still in the Middle Years Programme (MYP), effectively needs two separate matches run in parallel. IB Gram treats these as distinct from the first message rather than assuming one tutor can simply cover international boards in general. The first question is always the exact syllabus: Cambridge IGCSE or Pearson Edexcel International GCSE for the older stage, and DP or MYP, with subject groups and HL or SL split, for the IB stage. An IB and IGCSE tutor Gurgaon families choose should be checked separately per stage; a tutor who has taught Cambridge 0580 Maths for years is not automatically the right fit for Edexcel 4MA1, and a DP Physics HL tutor is a different specialist from an MYP Sciences criterion-C marker, even though both sit under the same International Baccalaureate (IB) umbrella. Next comes the transition itself, when it applies: has the student already chosen DP subjects, is the family still deciding between the IB Diploma, A Levels or a move to CBSE or ISC after Grade 10, and does the tutor understand what changes in workload and marking at that exact point. Many Gurgaon families searching for IB and IGCSE tuition in Gurgaon are really asking this one question in disguise. School calendar and preferred schedule come last: mock dates, the exam series the school actually uses, and which weekday evenings are realistically free once school, activities and any existing tuition are accounted for. A free trial lesson, run exactly as a real session would be, is where the shortlist gets tested before anything is confirmed. This is the process behind every best IB IGCSE tuition Gurgaon match IB Gram arranges, whichever stage or board is involved.
1. Share the exact syllabus: Cambridge IGCSE, Pearson Edexcel, IB MYP or IB DP.
2. Confirm subject groups, HL or SL split, or Core versus Extended tier.
3. Flag any near-term transition, IGCSE into DP, A Levels, CBSE or ISC.
4. Share the school's mock and exam session dates for correct pacing.
5. Sit through a full free trial lesson before committing to anything.

Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Gurgaon usually run as a two-year course across Grades 9 and 10. Cambridge exam series happen in February/March, a series offered only in India, plus May/June and October/November; Pearson Edexcel International GCSE series run in January and May/June. Cambridge grades most syllabuses A* to G, with some subjects offering 9-1 versions under different codes, while Edexcel International GCSE grades 9 to 1 throughout. Many Cambridge subjects split into Core and Extended tiers, Core capping at grade C and Extended reaching A*, a tier decision that shapes an entire year's teaching, not just the final paper. After Grade 10, most Gurgaon IGCSE students move into the IB Diploma Programme (DP), though some move to A Levels, CBSE or ISC instead. The DP itself runs two years, DP1 and DP2, six subjects across six groups, three or four at Higher Level (240 recommended teaching hours) and the rest at Standard Level (150 hours), each graded 1 to 7. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE) add up to three more points, taking the maximum to 45, with 24 as the minimum to pass the diploma, subject to the IB's failing conditions, alongside Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS). Families with a younger child instead often sit inside the Middle Years Programme (MYP), five years, MYP 1 to 5, across eight subject groups, each subject assessed against four criteria, A to D, scored 0 to 8, converting to a final 1-7 grade through IB grade boundaries. The Personal Project falls in MYP 5, the Community Project in MYP 3 or 4, and MYP eAssessment in MYP 5 is optional, decided school by school. The real shift between IGCSE and DP is not just harder content; it is a change in what marks are actually awarded for, tier-based grade boundaries giving way to command-term-driven markschemes. Families explicitly searching for an IGCSE to IB DP transition tutor want exactly this handover mapped out, stage by stage, rather than generic exam tips applied across both boards.
Cambridge IGCSE: A*-G on most syllabuses, Core capped at C, Extended reaching A*.
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE: graded 9-1 across January and May/June series.
IB DP: six subjects, HL at 240 hours or SL at 150 hours, graded 1-7.
IB MYP: four criteria per subject, 0-8 each, converting to a 1-7 grade.
TOK and the Extended Essay add up to 3 points above six subject grades.
IGCSE Maths under Cambridge splits into Core and Extended tiers with separate papers, and Cambridge 0580 has both calculator and non-calculator components within the Extended tier; Edexcel's 4MA1 runs Foundation and Higher tiers instead, with its own paper structure. In both syllabuses, method marks matter as much as the final answer, a habit a tutor should be drilling from the first session rather than only before the exam series. At DP level, IB Mathematics splits further into Analysis and Approaches (AA) and Applications and Interpretation (AI), each offered at HL or SL, four genuinely different courses under one subject name. IB Sciences, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, carry both theory papers and an Internal Assessment component, marked against IB criteria rather than a single numeric scheme, which is a different skill from an IGCSE Core or Extended paper. IB English A and B work from set texts and command terms, define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss, to what extent, the same command terms that shape IGCSE English answers at a lower depth, so a tutor who teaches both stages can show a student explicitly how the expectation escalates rather than starting from zero at DP. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE) sit only at DP level and are largely discussion and writing based, a claim, a counterclaim, a research question refined over several drafts, work that suits a subject specialist rather than a generalist tuition programme. MYP subjects, assessed against four criteria (A-D) per subject rather than a single mark, reward a different kind of preparation again, an error log built around which criterion is actually losing marks, not just which topic. A tutor moving a family from MYP through IGCSE to DP has to shift teaching style at every stage, not just the content.
Cambridge IGCSE Maths (0580): Core and Extended tiers, calculator and non-calculator papers.
Edexcel IGCSE Maths (4MA1): Foundation and Higher tiers with separate paper sets.

Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) covers Sector 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 and 72, Ansal Esencia and Bhondsi, along with Tata Primanti. This corridor holds a dense mix of IGCSE and IB families, and families here searching for best IB IGCSE tuition Southern Peripheral Road usually want one tutor who can move between an older sibling's IGCSE syllabus and a younger one's MYP work in the same household, since evening traffic along SPR can make two separate home visits on the same evening genuinely difficult to schedule back to back. New Gurgaon, covering Sector 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 89 and 90, Kherki Daula and Pataudi Road, along with Vatika India Next and Godrej Air, is one of the newer corridors and still building its tutor density for specialist IB subjects. Families here searching for best IB IGCSE tuition New Gurgaon often accept a slightly later evening slot in exchange for a tutor who genuinely specialises in the exact syllabus, Cambridge over Edexcel or DP HL over SL, rather than settling for whoever is geographically closest. Dwarka Expressway spans Sector 102, 103, 104, 106, 108, 109, 110 and 113, with Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon among its societies. Ongoing construction and a longer stretch of road between societies here can stretch a short trip during evening traffic, so families searching for best IB IGCSE tuition Dwarka Expressway sometimes choose a hybrid arrangement, a home tutor for the subject that most needs in-person marking of working, and an online session for a specialist subject a home visit cannot reach. Society gate entry adds a small but real logistics step across all three corridors: a tutor needs to be registered as a visitor in advance in most gated societies, and a session that starts late because of a gate delay is a lost ten minutes a family should flag to IB Gram if it becomes a pattern. The same standard applies whether a family searches for best IB IGCSE tuition Gurugram or the Gurgaon spelling; the verification and trial process are identical either way.

Families at schools such as Pathways World School, Aravali, Pathways School Gurgaon, Lancers International School, Scottish High International School, GD Goenka World School, Heritage Xperiential Learning School, The Shri Ram School, Aravali and DPS International Edge are named here only as local context: IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel, and this page does not state which board or programme any particular school follows. What every family across Gurugram (Gurgaon), Haryana shares, whatever the specific school, is a calendar built around exam series and mocks. Most Gurgaon IB schools enter DP students for the May exam session, with November used by a minority of schools and by retake candidates; Cambridge IGCSE offers a February/March series available only in India, alongside the more widely used May/June and October/November windows, while Pearson Edexcel International GCSE runs in January and May/June. Each school sets its own DP2 mock examination dates, usually several months ahead of May, and a household running IGCSE and DP at the same time effectively tracks two separate exam calendars in one school year. Past papers, markschemes and subject reports come through the school itself or the exam boards' own official channels, and these show exactly how marks are awarded far more reliably than a tutor's memory of a paper from several years ago. Command terms, define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss, to what extent, set the depth every answer needs, at both IGCSE and DP level, though the depth expected under the same command term rises sharply at DP. May results for the DP session are released in early July, a date that shapes when a family reviews the year and plans the next one, IGCSE tuition for a younger sibling or DP2 preparation for an older one, often in the same conversation.

Home tuition is IB Gram's lead service across every page on this site, and for a household juggling IGCSE and IB at once, it often has a particular advantage: one tutor visit can, in some cases, be timed so an older IGCSE sibling and a younger MYP sibling are seen back to back, using the same evening slot rather than two separate bookings. A tutor working directly from a student's own notebooks and the school's worksheets at the kitchen table remains the more reliable starting point for a younger student, or any student building exam habits for the first time. Online tutoring solves a different problem: reaching a genuine specialist, a DP Physics HL tutor or an Edexcel-specific Maths tutor, who may not live near a given Gurgaon corridor at all. A shared whiteboard and annotated past papers carry working just as clearly as a physical notebook for most subjects, though IB and IGCSE Sciences practicals obviously cannot happen on a screen, and a family should expect online sessions to lean on the school's own lab work for that part of the syllabus. Hybrid combines both without forcing a single choice for the whole household: an IGCSE subject at home in the evening, a DP HL specialist online later in the week, run by two different tutors without either losing track of the student's actual coursework. This suits many two-stage IB and IGCSE households in Gurgaon well, since the two students on different boards rarely need the exact same format. None of the three wins outright for every family. A student who drifts without someone in the room needs home tuition regardless of how strong an online specialist might be; a family chasing one narrow HL subject with no local match needs online regardless of general preference. IB Gram's matching process asks which situation is actually in front of it, corridor, subject, board and student, before recommending a format, home, online or hybrid, rather than defaulting to one for every request.
Home tuition suits younger students and households timing two siblings in one evening.
Online reaches a specialist HL or Edexcel-specific tutor without a local match.
Hybrid runs an IGCSE subject at home and a DP specialist online in one week.
IB and IGCSE Sciences practicals rely on the school's own lab work, not a screen.
The right format depends on the student, the subject and the board, not habit.
Families comparing IB and IGCSE tuitions in Gurgaon, or weighing what the best IB IGCSE tuition in Gurgaon actually looks like, usually have three or four real alternatives in mind, not just one service against a single rival. Each suits a different situation, and the honest trade-off is depth against cost: a coaching batch usually costs less per hour, a live online group class offers peer discussion a one-to-one session cannot, and a tutor found by word of mouth may work well with no independent verification at all.
| What matters | Home tutor through IB Gram | Coaching centre batch | Live online group class | Tutor found by word of mouth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attention per student | Full one-to-one attention across both IGCSE and IB stages | Divided across ten to thirty students in one batch | Shared attention, though peer discussion adds some depth | Depends entirely on that individual tutor's own style |
| Syllabus fit | Matched to Cambridge, Edexcel, MYP or DP specifically | Often built for CBSE or JEE patterns, not international boards | Usually one fixed track for the whole group | Unverified whether the tutor has taught this exact syllabus |
| Travel and time in Gurgaon | A tutor travels to the family's own sector or society | Family travels to a fixed centre, often across the city | No travel; needs a stable connection and a quiet room | Varies; usually meets at the tutor's own location |
| Scheduling flexibility | Slot set around school timings, mocks and the exam series | Fixed batch timing, rarely moved for one student | Semi-flexible, though the whole group must agree to a change | Depends on that tutor's other existing commitments |
| Coursework or IA help within academic integrity rules | One-to-one guidance on structure and process, not the writing itself | Rarely covered; batches focus on content and drilling | Possible in the general session, less individual attention | Depends entirely on that individual tutor's own boundaries |
| Feedback to parents | A short call or written note after each session | Periodic centre reports, less detail per student | Group progress updates, less specific to one student | Informal, if it happens at all |
| How the tutor is chosen and checked | Syllabus and tier verified by IB Gram before shortlisting | Centre hires its own staff; parents rarely see credentials | Platform-level vetting varies; worth checking before enrolling | No independent verification beyond a personal recommendation |
| Trial before committing | A free trial session run exactly like an ongoing lesson | Often a paid demo class, or none at all | Sometimes a free class, sometimes a paid trial batch | Rarely offered; you are trusting the recommendation itself |
| Cost structure | Priced per session or package, reflecting one-to-one time | Usually cheaper per hour, split across many students | Mid-range, group pricing without one-to-one depth | Varies widely with no standard structure to compare |
| Who it suits best | A household needing both IGCSE and DP or MYP covered | A student who enjoys a group pace and peer energy | A family wanting structured content with some peer interaction | A family with a trusted personal referral already in hand |
IB Gram checks the exact syllabus and level before a tutor profile ever reaches a shortlist: Cambridge IGCSE Maths Core, Edexcel International GCSE Biology Higher, DP Chemistry HL, or MYP Sciences, not a general international board tutor Gurugram label. For a household with both an IGCSE and an IB student, IB Gram checks each tutor against the stage they will actually teach, since experience at one level does not automatically transfer to the other. What IB Gram verifies: which specific syllabus and tier or level a tutor has taught, familiarity with the relevant exam board's command terms and markscheme style, and whether the tutor has handled a transition year, a student moving from IGCSE into DP, before. None of this is a guarantee of outcome; it is the minimum a family should expect to be true before a trial lesson is even booked. What a parent should still check personally on the trial: does the tutor ask about the school's own scheme of work before starting content, do they work from the student's actual notes and recent test papers rather than a generic worksheet, and do they explain a mark scheme point clearly rather than simply supplying the correct answer. A tutor who does this consistently in one session, home tutor or online, is showing a habit, not a one-off performance. No certificate, however official, and no number of years teaching substitutes for watching a full trial lesson happen with your own child. An IB workshop certificate or long general teaching experience says something about a tutor's background, but only a trial shows whether that background translates into a lesson this specific student actually learns from, at this specific syllabus and tier. A search for best IB IGCSE tuition near me still narrows to the same three checks: syllabus, tier and a trial lesson, regardless of which corridor it is typed from.
IB Gram confirms the exact syllabus and tier, not a general board label.
Ask whether the tutor has handled an IGCSE-to-DP transition year before.
Check the tutor works from the student's own notes, not a generic worksheet.
A trial lesson should open with the school's scheme of work, not content.
No certificate substitutes for watching one full trial lesson with your own child.
Best, for IB and IGCSE tuition, cannot be settled by a ranking or a top rated badge; no independent body audits tutoring outcomes in Gurgaon, and any number attached to such a claim, a success rate, a count of students taught, a star average, is unverifiable by the time a parent reads it. IB Gram will not make that claim about its own tutors, on this page or any other, and treats a service that does with real caution rather than reassurance. What can be checked is narrower and more useful: the exact syllabus and tier a tutor has taught, whether that experience covers both stages a household may need, IGCSE now and DP within a year or two, and how a trial lesson actually goes. A tutor who is excellent at IGCSE Core Maths is not automatically the right DP HL Analysis and Approaches tutor, and a family judging best for a two-stage household has to check both separately rather than assuming one strong session proves both. A scoring approach for the trial: does the tutor confirm the exact syllabus and tier before starting, rather than teaching generically; does the session end with something specific, a marked practice question or a named next step, rather than a vague instruction to revise; and does the tutor ask, unprompted, about the school's own mock or exam series date. A tutor who clears all three in one trial is a stronger match than a longer resume with a rougher session. Best for whom differs by household. A confident Grade 10 student six months from IGCSE exams needs exam-focused pacing; a DP1 student four subjects into a new syllabus needs foundational depth instead. This page's honest answer to what best IB IGCSE tuition Gurgaon families should look for is a method applied twice, once per stage, not a single label that covers both.
No directory or star rating can verify a claim that a tutor outranks others.
Score the trial: exact syllabus confirmed, a specific next step, the mock date asked.
IGCSE strength does not automatically prove DP strength, or the reverse.
Best for whom differs: exam-proximity pacing versus foundational depth for a new syllabus.
Judge each stage, IGCSE and DP, on its own trial, not one shared impression.
Four weeks into IGCSE or IB tuition, progress should look like a visible pattern, not a feeling a parent has to take on faith. For an IGCSE student, that means an error log tied to specific paper components, Core versus Extended working, or a named topic the student consistently loses method marks on. For a DP or MYP student, it means a similar log tied to command terms or IB criteria, a note that says exactly which criterion, A through D, or which command term, evaluate versus describe, is still costing marks. If none of that is visible by the four-week mark, the honest question is not whether tuition works, but whether this particular match works for this particular stage. Sometimes a student needs a different explanation style, not a different tutor entirely; sometimes what looked like a content gap was actually a pacing problem, a student who understands the material but runs out of time under exam conditions needs different practice from one who has a genuine gap in understanding. No tutor, at IGCSE or IB level, home or online, can guarantee a grade, a specific mark, or a percentage improvement, and any claim otherwise belongs to marketing rather than to what tuition can honestly deliver. What a tutor can commit to is a visible plan: past papers marked against the real scheme, a record of what has been covered, and the judgement to say plainly when a different approach, or a different tutor, is needed rather than continuing sessions that are not moving anything. Starting IGCSE or DP tuition only weeks before a mock or exam series narrows what is realistically achievable, whatever the tutor's quality; earlier starts, particularly around a board transition, give more room for a plan to actually work. If a match is not working after a fair trial period, IB Gram can offer a different tutor for that stage without restarting the whole process.
By week four, expect an error log tied to specific papers or IB criteria.
A pacing problem and a content gap need different fixes, not the same drilling.
No tutor can guarantee a grade, a mark, or a percentage improvement.
Starting weeks before a mock or exam series narrows what is achievable.
A poor match can be replaced without restarting the whole matching process.
Starting is a short conversation, not a form to fill in alone. A parent sends a query or books a free consultation, and IB Gram asks about the board, exact syllabus, tier or level, school calendar and preferred schedule, for one student or for two siblings on different boards at once, before suggesting any tutor. IB Gram then shortlists tutors whose profiles are verified and match those specifics, subject to tutor availability and depending on level and schedule; this is not a promise that a particular tutor is free at a particular time, especially for a narrow HL specialism. A free demo or trial session is arranged before anything is confirmed, home, online or hybrid depending on what the family prefers and what the corridor makes practical. Before the first session, it helps to have recent test papers or the school's own worksheets ready, along with the exact syllabus code if known, Cambridge 0580 or Edexcel 4MA1 for IGCSE Maths, for instance, and the date of the next school test, mock or exam series. A tutor who spends the first part of a trial understanding where the student actually is, rather than launching straight into new content, is showing a habit that should continue every week after. If the fit is wrong after a fair trial, at either stage, the family can ask for a different tutor without losing the ground already covered; IB Gram treats this as a normal part of matching, not a failure. Lessons then run at home, online or hybrid, and that flexibility continues for as long as the household needs support across either board. What starts as one query often becomes, for many households, the best IB IGCSE tuition Gurgaon arrangement they keep for both the IGCSE and IB stages of the same child's education.
Send a query or book a free consultation before anything else is arranged.
Share the exact syllabus code, Cambridge or Edexcel, if already known.
Have recent test papers or school worksheets ready for the first trial.
A trial session runs home, online or hybrid, whichever suits the household.
Ask for a different tutor if the fit is wrong after a fair trial.
IB Gram is an independent tutoring platform and is not officially affiliated with any school named on this page, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel.
You judge it through checkable evidence and a trial, not a ranking. Confirm the exact syllabus and tier, Cambridge Core versus Extended, Edexcel Foundation versus Higher, or DP HL versus SL, then watch a free trial lesson for whether the tutor confirms the school's scheme of work, marks against the real scheme rather than guessing, and ends the session with a specific next step. A tutor who clears all of this in one trial is a stronger match than a longer resume with a rougher session. For a two-stage household, judge IGCSE and DP tutors separately, since strength at one level does not guarantee strength at the other.
No independent body verifies rankings for IB and IGCSE tutoring in Gurgaon, so any such claim is essentially unverifiable marketing. There is no audited outcome data, no public registry, and no neutral third party checking a claim before it appears on a website or an advertisement. IB Gram does not make this claim about its own tutors, and treats any service that does with caution rather than reassurance. What you can verify instead is the exact syllabus a tutor has taught, their familiarity with the relevant exam board's command terms, and how a trial lesson actually goes with your own child.
Sometimes, but not automatically, and it is worth checking rather than assuming. A tutor who has taught IGCSE well for years may never have taught DP HL content at all, since the command terms deepen sharply and Internal Assessment work is new territory entirely. IB Gram asks specifically whether a tutor has handled this transition before, and if not, may shortlist two specialists, one for the final IGCSE stretch and one for early DP, rather than stretching one tutor across both. A short overlap period with both tutors briefly active can smooth the handover if the family prefers continuity over a clean break.
This page does not quote a figure, since fees depend on stage, subject scarcity, session length and whether lessons run at home or online, and vary tutor by tutor. What moves the fee is checkable in structure even without a number: DP HL and specialist Edexcel subjects tend to command more than general IGCSE Core work, and a tutor's genuine examining or subject-scarcity experience is one factor worth asking about directly. IB Gram can explain how pricing is structured for your specific request, syllabus, tier and format, once those details are known, rather than quoting a generic range that may not reflect your actual need.
Yes, subject to tutor availability and the corridor involved, and this is worth confirming for your specific sector before the first session is booked. Evening traffic along SPR, New Gurgaon and Dwarka Expressway can stretch a short trip unpredictably, so IB Gram factors your society's gate entry process and the tutor's other commitments into the slot offered, rather than promising a fixed arrival time regardless of distance. If a reliable evening slot is not realistically available for your exact corridor, IB Gram will say so directly and suggest online or hybrid instead of overpromising home tuition that traffic makes unreliable.
Message the tutor or IB Gram as early as possible, and the session is rescheduled rather than simply lost, subject to the tutor's other commitments that week. A missed session around a festival, a school trip or a sudden schedule clash is common, and the family should actively confirm a replacement slot rather than assuming it carries over automatically. If a session is missed close to a mock or an exam series, ask the tutor to prioritise rescheduling it ahead of moving on to new content, since losing ground right before an assessment matters more than losing it mid-term.
For most subjects, yes, particularly Maths, English and the more discussion-based parts of TOK and the Extended Essay, since a shared whiteboard and annotated past papers carry working clearly on a screen. Families researching IB and IGCSE online tuition Gurgaon options should know Science practicals are the honest exception; these rely on the school's own lab sessions rather than anything a screen can replicate, so an online Science tutor should be judged on theory and data analysis, not the practical component. Whether online works for your child specifically also depends on temperament: an independent, focused student usually adapts within two or three sessions, while a younger or easily distracted student may do better with a tutor physically present.
There is no fixed rule, and it depends mainly on the student's age and confidence. Younger MYP or early IGCSE students sometimes benefit from a parent nearby for the first few sessions, mainly to settle nerves and help with any technology for online lessons, while most DP and Grade 10 students prefer to work independently once the routine feels normal. What helps more than sitting in is making sure the study space is quiet, the student's notes and past papers are ready beforehand, and any online connection is tested in advance, so the tutor is not spending the first ten minutes on logistics instead of teaching.
Tell IB Gram directly, and a different tutor is shortlisted for that stage without restarting the whole matching process from the beginning. The best IB and IGCSE tutor Gurgaon match is not always the first one tried, and that is a normal part of matching rather than a failure. Give a genuinely fair trial period first, since a slow first session sometimes reflects a student adjusting to a new format or a new tutor rather than a real mismatch, but if the same concerns persist by the four-week mark, a change is reasonable. IB Gram would rather match a family correctly on the second attempt than have them persist with a poor fit.
This depends on how far behind the syllabus the student currently is, not a fixed calendar rule. A student broadly on pace with the school's own scheme of work can often wait until a few months before mocks to step up tuition intensity, while a student with real gaps, particularly heading into a board transition such as IGCSE into DP, benefits from starting earlier so foundational content is not being rebuilt under exam pressure. IB Gram can help judge this on the intake call by asking about recent test results and the school's own pacing, rather than defaulting to a generic timeline.
Yes, and IB Gram treats this as two separate matching processes run in parallel rather than one combined request, since an IGCSE tutor and a DP or MYP tutor are usually different specialists. Where practical, and depending on tutor availability, IB Gram tries to time both students' sessions on the same evening to reduce the number of separate visits a household is managing, particularly useful for families in corridors such as Dwarka Expressway where evening traffic makes multiple separate trips harder to schedule. Each child still gets their own trial lesson and their own tutor match, judged on that child's stage and syllabus alone.
After a trial, expect a short follow-up call to confirm fit, for one student or for two on different boards. If it works, sessions continue on the agreed slot, subject to tutor availability, with home, online or hybrid always open if needs change. If it does not, tell IB Gram directly; a different tutor is shortlisted at no cost for the trial.
