You have two or three tutors in mind for live online lessons and a decision to make before the term properly starts. This page sets out what to compare, how to run fair trial classes with more than one tutor, and what IB Gram checks before any online session is confirmed for a family in Gurgaon.
Matched by programme, subject, level, weak areas and your school's calendar.
Math AA, Math AI, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, English and more, to the current syllabus.
Online worldwide around school hours, with home and hybrid options where tutors are local.
Clear updates on what was covered, what needs practice and the next step.
School names are shown for local academic context only. IB Gram is an independent tutoring platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any school listed here.
A good week of online tuition has four parts: a live session, practice set at the end of it, marked feedback before the next session, and a short channel for quick doubts. This rhythm keeps learning going between lessons, so progress does not depend on a single hour.
A parent gets in touch, often after a first online trial elsewhere fell flat, and the conversation starts with specifics rather than a general request for "an online tutor": which board, which level, DP1 Economics HL or IGCSE Grade 9 Coordinated Science, which syllabus the school actually follows, and which evenings are realistically free once homework and activities are done. IB Gram builds the shortlist from that, not from a general pool of anyone willing to log on. That is the whole point of comparing IB and IGCSE online tuitions in Gurgaon properly instead of guessing. The process itself stays short on purpose. 1. Board, level and subject are matched against tutors who have specifically taught online, not just tutors who happen to be available on a call. 2. Two or three verified profiles are shared, each showing subject depth, their usual online setup, whiteboard, shared documents, and their typical weekday evening slots. 3. A free consultation or a demo class can be arranged with each before you commit to a term of online sessions. Online teaching is its own skill, not simply an in-person lesson moved to a screen, and this is where families comparing two profiles often miss something. A tutor excellent at explaining a graph in person may struggle to make the same explanation land through a shared screen with a slight lag. Ask each shortlisted profile specifically how long they have taught online, not just how long they have tutored overall. Some families keep a home tutor for one subject and add online tuition for another; IB Gram treats that as two parallel shortlists, not one. If the first tutor does not work out after a genuine trial, IB Gram can build a second shortlist against what specifically went wrong, screen presence, pace, technical fluency, rather than starting the whole search again from nothing.

Two shortlisted online tutors can both say "IB experience" and mean very different things, so it helps to know what each programme actually demands before you compare. The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) runs five years, MYP 1 to MYP 5, roughly ages eleven to sixteen, across eight subject groups, with every subject marked against four criteria, A to D, each scored zero to eight; the criterion total out of thirty-two converts to a final grade of one to seven through the IB's grade boundaries. Ask a shortlisted online tutor whether they mark practice work against these criteria explicitly or just give a general verdict, since the difference shows up quickly in how useful the feedback actually is on screen. The Personal Project sits in MYP 5, the Community Project in MYP 3 or 4 depending on the school, and supervising either one online, through shared documents and video check-ins rather than in person, is a distinct skill worth asking about directly if your child is approaching that year. MYP eAssessment in MYP 5, on-screen examinations plus ePortfolios, is optional per school, so confirm with your child's school before assuming any tutor needs to prepare for it. The IB Diploma Programme (DP) runs two years, DP1 and DP2, six subjects across six groups, three or four at Higher Level (HL, 240 recommended teaching hours) and the rest at Standard Level (SL, 150 hours), each graded one to seven, with Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE) adding up to three further points toward a forty-five maximum, twenty-four the minimum for the diploma, subject to the IB's failing conditions. Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is required too, separate from anything a tutor covers. When comparing two DP-focused online profiles, ask which HL and SL combinations each has actually taken students through online specifically, not just in a classroom years ago.
Ask whether feedback is marked against MYP's four criteria or given generally.
The Personal Project and Community Project can be supervised online through shared documents.
DP has six subjects, three or four at HL and the rest at SL.
TOK and the Extended Essay add up to three points toward the forty-five maximum.
Ask which HL/SL combinations a tutor has taught online specifically, not just in a classroom.
IGCSE in Gurgaon means Cambridge IGCSE, run by Cambridge International Education, or Pearson Edexcel International GCSE, usually a two-year course across Grade 9 and Grade 10, often followed by the IB Diploma Programme, A Levels, or a move to CBSE or ISC for Class 11. Cambridge exam series run in February and March, a series offered only in India, plus May and June and October and November; Edexcel International GCSE series run in January and May and June. When comparing two shortlisted online tutors, ask which series each has actually prepared students for, since a tutor used to one series can misjudge how much time is left before another. Grading adds another layer to compare. Cambridge grades most syllabuses A* to G, with some subjects now offered as 9-1 versions under different syllabus codes; Edexcel International GCSE grades 9-1 throughout. Core and Extended tiers split many Cambridge subjects, Core capping at grade C, Extended reaching A*, and two online profiles claiming the same subject can still differ sharply here, one strong with Core entries building confidence, another experienced pushing Extended students toward the top grades. On the DP side, a tutor confident with SL content is not automatically ready for HL's extra depth, and Internal Assessment (IA) guidance is subject-specific, with its own criteria and word limits set by the subject guide; screen-sharing a mark scheme is not the same as having actually marked several IAs against it. When two profiles both list the same subject, ask for the specific level and a concrete example of how they have used a mark scheme with a past student, not just a general claim of familiarity.
Ask which exam series, Feb/Mar, May/June, Oct/Nov or January, a tutor has prepared for.
Cambridge grades A*-G, some subjects 9-1 under different codes; Edexcel grades 9-1 throughout.
Core tops out at grade C, Extended reaches A*; ask which tier a tutor actually taught.
SL and HL experience in the same subject are not interchangeable.
Ask for a concrete example of a tutor marking an IA against its own criteria.
Even though an online tutor does not travel to your address, where your family lives in Gurgaon still shapes which shortlisted profiles make practical sense, since a tutor's other students and their own daily schedule are built around a base somewhere in the city. Across Gurugram (Gurgaon), Haryana, most families comparing IB and IGCSE online tuitions are choosing between tutors already established in one of three corridors. DLF Phases 2 to 4, MG Road and Cyber City covers DLF Phase 2, DLF Phase 3, DLF Phase 4, MG Road, Cyber City, Sikanderpur, Chakkarpur, Sector 24, Sector 27 and Sector 28, with societies including DLF Beverly Park, Heritage City, DLF Hamilton Court, DLF Regency Park, DLF Richmond Park and Ambience Caitriona. Families who already have a home tutor in one of these corridors sometimes add an online specialist as a second subject, since a tutor based here who also teaches home sessions nearby often has a tighter, more predictable evening schedule, which can mean a more reliable weekly online slot too. Sushant Lok, South City 1 and Millennium City Centre covers Sushant Lok 1, Sushant Lok 2, South City 1, Sector 29, Sector 40, Sector 45, Sector 46 and Greenwood City. Families here comparing online tutors will find plenty of profiles already established locally, since this corridor has one of the city's longer-running concentrations of tutoring activity, though established does not automatically mean better matched to your child's exact level. Southern Peripheral Road, shortened to SPR, covers Sector 66, Sector 67, Sector 68, Sector 69, Sector 70, Sector 72, Ansal Esencia and Bhondsi, with Tata Primanti among its societies. Online tuition matters more here than in older corridors, since SPR sits further out and a home-only search would have narrowed the shortlist considerably; going online opens up the same specialist pool a DLF family would see.

Families at schools like 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 follow a broadly similar yearly rhythm, though IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel. Most Gurgaon IB schools enter students for the May exam session, with November used by a minority of schools and by retake candidates. Each school sets its own DP2 mock examination dates, usually several months ahead of May, and when you are comparing two shortlisted online tutors, ask each directly whether they already know your child's school's mock date or would need you to supply it, since the answer says something about how many other families at that school they are already working with. Past papers, markschemes and subject reports come through the school itself or the IB's official channels, and a genuine comparison point between two online tutors is how they actually use these on screen: does a shortlisted tutor mark a past answer line by line against command terms like define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss and to what extent, live on the call, or do they simply talk through a printed answer key. School terms, unit tests, festival breaks and activity calendars vary school to school, so when comparing profiles, ask each how they typically adjust a student's plan around a specific school's own busy weeks, rather than running the same generic pace for every family regardless of calendar.

Home tuition is where IB Gram starts most families, a tutor at your own table, correcting a half-finished working-out in person, building a rhythm week after week that a parent can watch directly rather than hear about secondhand. For some subjects and some children, particularly younger MYP students who need closer physical guidance, this remains genuinely the stronger option, and it is worth comparing at least one home tutor profile alongside your online shortlist rather than ruling it out by default. But if you are specifically comparing IB and IGCSE online tuitions in Gurgaon, the case for online is real, not a fallback: access to a specialist who is not based near your sector, a slot that does not depend on evening traffic, and a shared screen that works nearly as well as paper for annotated past papers and worked solutions. When comparing two online profiles, ask each about their actual setup, not just whether they "do online," since a tutor with a proper shared whiteboard and screen-recording is a different experience from one on a basic video call with nothing shared at all. Hybrid, a term built mostly around online sessions with an occasional home session added before a mock or exam, is what many families choosing between profiles end up settling on rather than deciding in advance. If one shortlisted tutor offers this and another insists on online only, that flexibility is worth weighing alongside subject fit. The honest trade-off: online removes travel and widens your shortlist considerably, but it loses some of the shared physical working space, and the direct parental visibility, that a home session naturally has.
Home tuition suits younger students who need closer physical guidance.
Online widens the shortlist beyond a tutor's travel radius.

Weigh flexibility between shortlisted profiles alongside subject fit.
Online tuition is not automatically the strongest choice for every subject, and setting it honestly against a home tutor, a coaching batch or a tutor found through word of mouth shows the real trade-off: reach and flexibility against shared physical working space. The table below shows what each option offers, not which one wins outright.
| What matters | Home tutor through IB Gram | Coaching centre batch | Live online group class | Tutor found by word of mouth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attention per student | One-to-one attention, the full session focused on your child alone. | Split across ten to twenty students in a single batch. | Split across several students joining one live call. | Usually one-to-one, though quality depends entirely on that person. |
| Reach beyond your own corridor | Matches a specialist regardless of where they are based in the city. | Limited to families who can travel to the centre. | Available from anywhere with a stable connection. | Limited to whoever that one tutor already knows. |
| Syllabus and level fit | Matched to your child's exact board, tier or HL/SL before the first session. | Built around one general syllabus, rarely tailored per student. | Matched to the advertised class level, less flexible per student. | Depends entirely on that tutor's own background and honesty about it. |
| Scheduling flexibility | Agreed directly with the tutor, not tied to travel time or traffic. | Fixed batch timings set by the centre, rarely negotiable. | A fixed weekly class time set by the group. | As flexible or rigid as that individual allows. |
| Coursework or IA help within academic integrity rules | Guidance on structure and technique, never writing or completing the work. | Rarely addressed individually in a batch setting. | Limited to general guidance shared with the whole group. | Hard to verify consistently without a formal check. |
| Feedback to parents | Direct updates after each session, on request. | Usually limited to periodic centre reports. | Group progress reports at best, rarely individual. | Depends entirely on that person; often informal. |
| How the tutor is chosen and checked | Profile verified for board, level and subject experience before matching. | Centre hires its own staff; credentials rarely visible to parents. | Platform-run; individual background often not visible to you. | Usually word of mouth alone, with no independent check. |
| Trial before committing | A free consultation or trial class can be arranged first. | Some centres allow a trial; policies vary by centre. | Trial availability depends on the platform running the class. | Rarely offered; you are trusting a recommendation. |
| Cost structure | Priced for one-to-one attention, a per-session or package structure. | Usually the lowest cost per hour, shared across many students. | Often priced lower than one-to-one, shared across the group. | Can be cheaper informally, with no structure or guarantee. |
| Who it suits best | A family that values reach and flexibility over shared physical space. | A student who does well with peer pace and group energy. | A student comfortable learning in a group from anywhere. | A family with a strong, already-vetted personal recommendation. |
Every profile IB Gram shares for online tuition has already been checked: board and level experience confirmed, subject depth reviewed against what your child needs, and background details verified before any profile reaches your shortlist, the same baseline used for a home tutor. That baseline sits alongside, not instead of, what you should check yourself when comparing two candidates. Ask each shortlisted tutor for specific past results in a specific board, level and subject, rather than a general claim of online experience. Ask how they handle a student who goes quiet or seems distracted on camera, since this is a genuinely common online problem and a tutor who has never thought about it is worth noting. Ask what their actual online setup involves, a shared whiteboard, annotated documents, recorded sessions, and compare that directly against the second shortlisted tutor's answer. For the trial itself, test the platform together beforehand so the session time is not spent troubleshooting a login or a microphone. Keep your child's textbook and recent test papers within reach even online, since a tutor working from a screen still benefits from seeing the physical page a question comes from. If a verified profile still feels wrong once the trial starts, pace, screen presence, engagement, say so specifically. IB Gram can offer a different tutor from the same shortlist logic rather than leaving you to manage a mismatch through an entire term. One more comparison point worth raising directly: ask each shortlisted tutor what they do when a student's internet connection drops mid-explanation, or when a shared document fails to load. A tutor with a calm, practiced answer, switching to audio, resending a file, picking up from a screenshot, has clearly hit this before and planned for it, which tells you something about their overall reliability that a subject-knowledge question alone will not.

Yes, and doing it deliberately makes the comparison far more useful than trusting a first impression alone. Book both trial classes in the same week if you can, so your child's mood and the week's schoolwork form a similar background for each, rather than comparing a tired Friday session against a fresh Monday one. Use the same starting material for both trials where possible, the same past paper section or the same chapter, so the comparison is about teaching approach and online presence, not two unrelated topics. During each trial, watch specifically for how the tutor uses the screen: do they check understanding before explaining, is the shared whiteboard actually used or mostly narrated, does the session end with something concrete, a marked task, a clear plan for next time, or does it simply run out of time without a clean close. A tutor who diagnoses before teaching, even briefly, is usually easier to build a term around than one who launches straight into new content. Tell your child upfront that trying two tutors online is completely normal, not a test they can fail, particularly if this is a younger MYP student's first experience with online lessons at all. Older DP students often notice things worth asking about directly afterward, whether the explanation pace suited them, whether they felt comfortable interrupting to ask a question over a screen. If the first trial goes poorly, or simply feels flat, do not treat that as proof online tuition itself does not work; it may just be that specific tutor's screen presence or pace. Go back to IB Gram with specifics, too slow, hard to follow on screen, did not check understanding, and a second shortlist can be built against exactly that gap.

Give specific feedback so a second shortlist targets the actual gap.
Switching to a better-matched online tutor rarely produces an immediate, visible jump; what changes first is smaller and easier to miss if you are looking for a dramatic result. In the first two or three weeks, expect diagnosis, an error log building, specific gaps in a topic becoming clear on screen, rather than a transformed test score. By six to eight weeks, look for a student attempting harder questions on their own during a session, and for movement in a specific subject's school test scores, a direction, not a single leap. Be honest about what switching can and cannot fix. No tutor, online or otherwise, can guarantee a grade, and a family that switched expecting a fixed jump within a month is usually measuring the wrong thing. A DP student six weeks from mocks needs exam technique and past paper practice on screen more than new content; a Grade 9 IGCSE student earlier in the year has months to build foundations, and rushing that timeline online does not speed it up. If a second online tutor repeats the same problem as the first, screen presence that does not land, pace that does not suit your child, look honestly at what actually changed between the two matches and what did not. Be specific with IB Gram about the pattern, not just a vague complaint, so the next shortlist is built against that exact gap. Sometimes, after a genuine trial and a fair stretch of weeks, the honest answer is that online is not the right mode for this particular child or this particular subject, and a home tutoring session, occasional or regular, is worth adding back in.
Expect diagnosis in the first two or three weeks, not immediate results.
By six to eight weeks, look for harder questions attempted unprompted.
No tutor can guarantee a grade; measure direction, not a single jump.
If a second tutor repeats the first mismatch, be specific about the pattern.
Sometimes the honest answer is that online is not the right mode for this child.
Once you have chosen between your shortlisted profiles for IB and IGCSE online tuitions in Gurgaon, a short, practical list gets the first session off to a proper start, whether these are your only sessions or you also keep a home tutor for another subject. Test the platform together the day before, camera, microphone, shared screen or whiteboard, so lesson time is not spent solving a login problem. Have your child's current textbook, recent school test papers and a specific stuck topic ready to show on screen, since a tutor who can see actual recent work in the first fifteen minutes plans better than one working from a description alone. Set up a proper space at home: a quiet corner, a reasonably stable connection, headphones if the household is busy in the evening, and good lighting so any handwritten working or shared document is easy to read clearly on screen. This matters more for online sessions than people expect, since a dim or noisy background makes a genuinely good tutor look worse than they are. Agree the slot clearly, which weekday evenings, how long each session runs, and what happens if a session needs to move because of a school event. Availability is always subject to tutor schedule, so build in a little flexibility on both sides rather than expecting a fixed slot to hold without exception every week. The first session itself usually opens with some diagnostic work before settling into the term's plan. From there, set a short review after two or three weeks, what has been covered, what is coming, whether the pace and the online format both suit your child. If something is not working, IB Gram can look at a different match rather than letting the term run its course on a fit that is not right.
Test the platform, camera and shared screen the day before the first session.
Have the current textbook, recent test papers and a stuck topic ready to show.
Set up a quiet, well-lit corner with a stable connection at home.
Agree a weekday slot and session length, with some flexibility built in.
Set a short review after two or three weeks rather than assuming it is fine.
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.
One or two live sessions, practice work set during the week, and the tutor marking it before the next lesson. A short message channel handles small doubts. The student spends more time practising than in the live session, and that practice drives progress.
Thirty to sixty minutes per session is common, and less for younger IGCSE students. The aim is to practise the topic just taught, not to add load. If your child regularly cannot finish it, tell the tutor so the plan can be adjusted.
They mark the student's photographed work with comments or annotations, and then go through errors live at the start of the next session. Some also record a short voice note explaining a tricky step. Ask the tutor how quickly they usually return marked work.
Many tutors allow short questions by message, such as a photo of a stuck problem, with a reply within a day. Agree limits at the start, so the channel remains useful and the tutor's time is respected. Urgent exam doubts may need a short extra session.
Fix the same day and time, and treat it like a school class. Prepare the device the night before, and have the previous week's work ready. Consistency matters more than session length, and students who keep a routine tend to retain content better.
One session a week keeps pace with school and handles specific topics. Two sessions allow one for teaching and one for practice and correction, which suits students who are behind or aiming high. Many families begin with one, then add a second near exams.
