Does live online IB tuition actually work as well as a tutor at home in Gurgaon?

For most subjects and most students, yes, once the setup is right: a stable connection, a shared whiteboard, and a quiet desk. Online tends to work especially well for reviewing past papers and annotating markschemes, and for reaching a specialist Higher Level tutor who does not live near a given corridor. It works less well for a younger child who needs closer physical attention, or for a student who is genuinely more distracted on a screen than across a table. The honest answer is that it depends more on the student than on the subject, which is exactly why a trial session before committing matters.

How much does IB online tuition in Gurgaon cost?

Cost depends on the programme stage and level, the subject, session length and how scarce that specialist is, and whether the family chooses home, online or hybrid sessions. Online sessions can sometimes work out more economically than home visits since travel time is not part of what is being paid for, but the structure (per session, monthly or in a package) matters more than a single number. IB Gram does not quote a fee until the tutor, level and format are matched, because pricing before matching would be a guess rather than an answer.

What happens if the online tutor is not working out for my child?

Tell IB Gram directly, and a different tutor can be shortlisted; the family is never locked into a poor match. A fit that is not working can show up as a student disengaging on screen, a tutor who cannot explain a topic clearly enough, or a scheduling mismatch that never quite settles. It is worth giving a genuinely new approach a fair few sessions before deciding it is not working, since some adjustment period is normal, but there is no obligation to persist with a match that clearly is not helping the student.

Can an online tutor cover a corridor like Dwarka Expressway or Manesar where fewer home tutors are based?

Yes, and this is precisely where online tuition solves a real Gurgaon problem rather than just being a convenience. Dwarka Expressway, New Gurgaon and Manesar are corridors where specialist Diploma Programme tutors are less densely based than around central Gurgaon, so insisting on a home tutor for a less common Higher Level subject from these corridors can mean a longer wait. Online removes the distance constraint entirely, which is why families in these corridors often move toward online sooner than families closer to Golf Course Road or Cyber City do.

Is a home tutor still available if I live on Sohna Road or Golf Course Extension Road but want in-person sessions?

Yes, home tuition remains available across these corridors, subject to tutor availability and the specific subject requested. Sohna Road's length, from Sector 47 through to Badshahpur, means a home tutor covering the far end of it may have a narrower weekly route than one working closer to Sector 47 or Nirvana Country, so a family further down the corridor may be offered a slightly different evening slot than one nearer the main road. Golf Course Extension Road societies typically have straightforward gate entry once a tutor is added to the visitor list.

How does IB Gram handle gate entry and visitor registration at DLF or M3M societies?

The tutor coordinates directly with the family on registering as an approved visitor, since each society's own front desk and app process differs. Societies such as DLF The Magnolias or M3M Golf Estate typically require a resident to add a regular visitor in advance, and building that few minutes of buffer into the very first session avoids losing teaching time to a lobby delay. This applies to home sessions specifically; a live online class has no gate-entry step at all, which some families cite as a reason for choosing it on their busiest evenings.

What if my child has no progress after a month of IB online tuition?

Raise it directly and expect a specific answer, not a vague reassurance. A month with no visible movement, still the same errors on the same question type, still struggling with the same MYP criterion, usually means either the pace is wrong, the format is not suiting the student, or the underlying gap sits further back than first assessed. IB Gram can offer a different tutor if the current one is not the issue, and a genuine change of approach, sometimes shifting from online to hybrid or adjusting session length, often shows movement within a few more sessions.

How many sessions a week does IB online tuition in Gurgaon usually need?

It depends on the stage and how close the student is to an exam or assessment deadline. A PYP or early MYP student is often well served by one session a week focused on a specific subject or skill; a DP student approaching mock or May examinations frequently needs two or more sessions across weak subjects, stepping down once the immediate pressure passes. The right number is set after the diagnostic first session, once the tutor has a real sense of the gaps, not fixed in advance by the programme stage alone.

Does online tuition still allow for a free trial or demo class in Gurgaon?

Yes, a demo or trial session is a standard part of IB Gram's process regardless of format, and for online tuition specifically it also doubles as a check that the connection, shared whiteboard and the family's setup all work properly before anything ongoing is agreed. This trial is where a parent can judge whether the tutor explains clearly on screen, not just whether their qualifications look right on paper, and it costs the family nothing to find that out before committing.

Can a home tutor switch to an online session for one week if they cannot travel to my corridor?

Yes, this is exactly what a hybrid arrangement is built for, and it is common for families further out on corridors such as SPR or New Gurgaon, where a single evening of unusually heavy traffic can otherwise mean cancelling a session entirely. Rather than losing the week, the same tutor runs that one session online, keeping continuity with the same person the student already knows. This flexibility is agreed as part of setting up the ongoing arrangement, not improvised at the last minute without the family's knowledge.

Is IB online tuition in Gurgaon suitable for a student who has just moved from CBSE or ICSE?

It can be, though the bigger adjustment is usually the shift to criterion-based MYP assessment or DP command terms rather than the online format itself. A student moving boards mid-year benefits from a tutor who can explain explicitly what has changed, why a CBSE-style long answer does not automatically score well against MYP criteria or DP mark schemes, and how the exam structure differs. Online or home makes little difference to that adjustment; what matters is a tutor experienced with students making the same switch.

What is the difference between IB online tuition in Gurgaon and a live online group class?

IB online tuition through IB Gram is one-to-one, built around a single student's programme, subject and gaps; a live online group class shares the tutor's time and attention across several students at once, usually at a lower cost per session. A group class can work well for a student who benefits from hearing other students' questions and does not need individual pacing, but it offers far less scope for a tutor to notice and correct one student's specific misunderstanding as it happens, which one-to-one online tuition is built to do.

How Does IB Gram Match an Online Tutor to Your Gurgaon Corridor?

When a family in DLF Phase 5 or Sector 84 sends a query for IB online tuition in Gurgaon, IB Gram starts with the specifics that decide who can actually teach the student well, not just who happens to be free that evening. That means the programme stage first: whether the student is in the Primary Years Programme, working through Middle Years Programme criteria A to D, or choosing Higher Level and Standard Level subjects in the Diploma Programme. It means the exact subject and syllabus, the current school, and the corridor the family lives in, because even an online slot depends on the tutor's own evening being free at the time a Gurgaon school day actually ends. The process runs in five steps, and none of them are skipped to fill a slot faster. 1. The parent sends a query or books a free consultation and describes the student's programme, subject, level and current school. 2. IB Gram asks about board, syllabus, level, school calendar, corridor and preferred format, home, online or hybrid. 3. A shortlist of tutors whose profiles are verified and match those needs is drawn up, weighted toward whoever already teaches that corridor's evening pattern comfortably. 4. A demo or trial session is arranged, so the family can judge the connection, the shared whiteboard and the tutor's teaching style before committing to anything. 5. If the fit is wrong, the family can ask for a different match, and the process repeats without the family starting from zero again. Availability stays conditional throughout: it is subject to tutor availability and depends on level and schedule. Nobody can promise a slot in the next twenty minutes for a Sector 57 family wanting a seven o'clock Physics session on a Tuesday. What the intake conversation does is surface that constraint early, before a trial is booked, so a family is choosing between real options rather than discovering a scheduling problem after they have already committed a week of evenings to it.

PYP, MYP, DP

PYP, MYP and DP Online: Which Programme Stage Needs What

The three stages of the International Baccalaureate ask for very different things from an online session, and the corridor a family lives in barely changes that part of the answer. In the Primary Years Programme, for children aged three to twelve, learning is organised around six transdisciplinary themes: Who we are; Where we are in place and time; How we express ourselves; How the world works; How we organize ourselves; and Sharing the planet. There are no external examinations at this stage, and a PYP student's units of inquiry culminate in the PYP exhibition in the final year, so tuition here is really about building the ten attributes of the IB learner profile alongside subject confidence, not exam drilling. The Middle Years Programme runs across five years, MYP 1 to MYP 5, for students roughly eleven to sixteen, across eight subject groups. Every subject is assessed against four criteria, A through D, each scored out of eight; the criterion total out of thirty-two converts to a final grade of one to seven through the IB's own grade boundaries. That criterion structure is exactly why an MYP tutor needs to teach to the criteria, not just to the content: a student who knows the content but never sees a criterion-marked script tends to lose marks on structure, not knowledge. The Personal Project sits in MYP 5, with a Community Project usually completed in MYP 3 or 4, and MYP eAssessment in MYP 5, on-screen examinations plus ePortfolios, is optional and decided school by school. The Diploma Programme is a two-year course, DP1 and DP2, of six subjects from six groups, three or four at Higher Level and the rest at Standard Level. Higher Level carries 240 recommended teaching hours against 150 for Standard Level, and each subject is graded one to seven. Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay combine for up to three additional points, taking the maximum to forty-five, with twenty-four points the minimum for the diploma, subject to the IB's own failing conditions. Creativity, Activity, Service also has to be completed alongside the six subjects. Most Gurgaon IB schools enter students for the May exam session, with November used by a minority of schools and by retake candidates; May results are released in early July, which is why DP2 tuition intensity tends to rise sharply from January onward, wherever in the city the family lives.

PYP: six transdisciplinary themes, ten learner profile attributes, no external exams

MYP: eight subject groups, four criteria (A to D) per subject, each scored 0-8

MYP 5: the Personal Project; MYP 3 or 4: the Community Project

DP: six subjects, three or four at Higher Level, the rest at Standard Level

DP grading: 1-7 per subject, up to 3 more from TOK and the EE, 45 maximum

Subjects

Subject Depth: What Online IB Tuition Covers in Gurgaon

IB Mathematics splits into Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation, each offered at Higher Level or Standard Level, and the two are genuinely different courses, not the same content taught at two speeds. AA leans toward calculus and abstract proof; AI leans toward statistics, modelling and technology use. A tutor who has only ever taught one route is not automatically qualified to teach the other, and this matters more online than it sounds, because a shared whiteboard and worked examples are how a Gurgaon student actually sees method, not just answers. The internal assessment, the exploration, runs to roughly twenty pages and needs a topic the student can sustain across several drafts, something an online tutor should be pushing the student toward from the first term of the course, not the last. Sciences at Higher Level and Standard Level, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, carry their own internal assessment in the form of a scientific investigation, plus papers that mix multiple choice, short answer and extended response questions depending on the subject and level. Online sessions work well here for walking through a markscheme line by line and for annotating a past paper together on screen, which is often clearer on a shared document than it is at a kitchen table with one printed copy between two people. English A and English B, the language and literature routes for first-language and additional-language students respectively, both hinge on close analysis of unseen and studied texts under command terms such as define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss and to what extent, and those command terms set the depth every answer needs, whatever the format of the lesson. Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay sit outside the six subject groups but shape a DP student's final points as much as any single subject does, contributing up to three additional points toward the diploma's forty-five-point maximum. An online tutor working on the Extended Essay is often more useful than an in-person one at this stage, because the essay is drafted and redrafted as a document, tracked with comments and version history, which suits a screen far better than a printed draft passed back and forth across a table.

Mathematics AA and AI: different courses, not different speeds of the same course

The exploration (Maths IA): sustained across drafts, not written in one sitting

Sciences: internal assessment is a scientific investigation, marked against set criteria

English A and B: command terms (define, explain, evaluate, discuss) set answer depth

TOK and the EE: drafted as shared documents, which suits an online tutor well

Local coverage

Every Gurgaon Corridor: Where IB Online Tuition Fits the Evening

Golf Course Road covers DLF Phase 5, DLF Phase 1, Sector 42, Sector 43, Sector 53 and Sector 54, Ardee City and Wazirabad, including societies such as DLF The Magnolias, The Aralias, Park Place, The Crest and The Belaire. Evening traffic on this stretch can be heavy between six and eight, and gate entry at the larger societies adds its own delay for a visiting tutor, which is exactly the window where a live online session, taken from the same desk the student already studies at, avoids losing the first fifteen minutes of a lesson to a lobby check-in. Golf Course Extension Road, covering Sectors 56 to 65, Sushant Lok 3, Ghata and Gwal Pahari, with societies like M3M Golf Estate, Ireo Grand Arch and Ireo Skyon, runs a similar pattern on weekday evenings, though weekend home sessions here are usually easier to fix. Sohna Road stretches from Sector 47 through Sector 50, Nirvana Country, South City 2, Rosewood City, Uppal Southend, Vatika Chowk and Badshahpur, with societies including Central Park Resorts, Orchid Petals, Vatika City, Malibu Towne, Vipul Greens and The Close; this corridor's length alone means a home tutor covering both ends of it in one evening is rarely practical, so online tuition here often solves a distance problem as much as a traffic one. The DLF phases two to four, MG Road and Cyber City, taking in Sikanderpur, Chakkarpur and Sectors 24, 27 and 28, with societies such as DLF Beverly Park, Heritage City and DLF Hamilton Court, sit close to the Metro corridor, which helps a home tutor's evening commute but does not remove it. Sushant Lok 1 and 2, South City 1 and the Millennium City Centre area, covering Sectors 29, 40, 45 and 46 and Greenwood City, tend to have some of the more flexible weekday evening slots in Gurgaon, since school buses here often arrive earlier than on the newer corridors. The Southern Peripheral Road, Sectors 66 to 72, Ansal Esencia and Bhondsi, along with Tata Primanti, and New Gurgaon, Sectors 82 to 90, Kherki Daula and Pataudi Road, with Vatika India Next and Godrej Air, are both corridors where evening traffic on NH-48 is the deciding factor more often than the family's own schedule. Dwarka Expressway, Sectors 102 to 113, with Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon, is still thin on home tutors who cover it regularly, which is the single strongest online-tuition case among all ten corridors. Old Gurgaon and Palam Vihar, including Civil Lines, Sadar Bazar, Jacobpura, Rajendra Park, Ashok Vihar and Sectors 4, 14, 15, 22 and 23, and Manesar and NH-48 south, IMT Manesar, Hero Honda Chowk and Sectors 33, 34 and 37, both sit furthest from where most specialist DP tutors are based, and online is very often the only realistic way to reach a Higher Level Physics or Economics specialist from either corridor on a weeknight.

Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road: gate entry adds real minutes to a home visit

Sohna Road's length makes covering both ends in one evening impractical for a home tutor

DLF phases 2-4, MG Road, Cyber City: close to the Metro, but the commute still exists

Dwarka Expressway, New Gurgaon, SPR: thin on specialist home tutors, strong case for online

Old Gurgaon, Palam Vihar and Manesar: furthest from most DP specialists based nearer central Gurgaon

School ecosystem

School Calendars That Shape a Tuition Slot in Gurgaon

IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel; the names below are local context, not a claim about which curriculum any of them runs. Families across Gurgaon corridors, from Pathways World School, Aravali on the Sohna Road side to Lancers International School and Scottish High International School nearer central Gurgaon, to GD Goenka World School, Heritage Xperiential Learning School, The Shri Ram School, Aravali, DPS International Edge and Pathways School Gurgaon, all deal with the same general calendar pressures even though their term dates differ: unit tests through the term, mock examinations set several months ahead of the May session, and a run-up to results that tightens everyone's evenings at once, whatever corridor they live in. 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 independently, and those mocks are usually the single biggest predictor of when a family first books IB online tuition in Gurgaon, because a mock result that surprises a student in November or December is what turns a casual enquiry into an urgent one. May results themselves are released in early July, which closes one cycle just as the next DP1 cohort is starting to think about subject choices for the following September. School buses and after-school activities are the other calendar pressure that online tuition has to work around, corridor by corridor. A student on Golf Course Extension Road whose bus gets in later than a student on Sushant Lok has a genuinely shorter usable evening, and an online slot fixed too early in that window competes with homework, not helps with it. IB Gram's intake conversation asks about the school and its general timing pattern precisely so that a proposed slot is not set against a bus that has not arrived yet.

Modes

Home Tuition, Online Classes or Hybrid: What Works in Gurgaon?

Home tuition is still IB Gram's main service across Gurgaon, and for good reason: a tutor sitting beside a student at their own desk, with the student's own notes, textbooks and past papers to hand, catches small errors as they happen and reads a student's confusion off their face before it shows up in a wrong answer. For a younger PYP or early MYP student especially, having a tutor physically present tends to hold attention better than a screen does, and a parent can see the session happening without needing to check in online. But home tuition depends on distance and traffic being manageable, and for the corridors furthest from where specialist DP tutors are usually based, insisting on home-only can mean waiting weeks for the right subject match rather than days. Live online IB tuition solves exactly that distance problem, and for older DP students working through past papers, a shared screen is often a genuinely better tool than a shared table: markschemes, annotated diagrams and typed working are all easier to review together on screen than on paper passed back and forth. Online also opens up specialist subjects, a Higher Level Economics or Computer Science tutor who does not live anywhere near a given corridor becomes reachable the moment travel is no longer the constraint. The honest trade-off is attention: a distracted teenager on a laptop is harder for a tutor to manage than one sitting across a table, and online sessions ask more of the student's own discipline than a home session does. Hybrid, a mix of home sessions in a lighter week and online sessions when the school calendar tightens or the tutor cannot make the commute that evening, is what many Gurgaon families settle into by the second or third month, once they know which format actually gets used well by their child. A family on Dwarka Expressway or in Manesar might run entirely online for a specialist subject and entirely at home for a subject where a nearer tutor is available. None of these formats is inherently better; the right one depends on the student's age, the subject, the corridor, and how the first few sessions actually go, which is why a trial before committing matters more than the label on the format.

Home: strongest for younger students and for catching errors as they happen

Online: opens up specialist DP subjects regardless of which corridor the family is in

Online asks more of the student's own focus; a distracted student is harder to manage on screen

Hybrid: home in a lighter week, online when the calendar or the commute does not allow it

The right format is decided after a trial, not assumed from the keyword the family searched

How Does IB Online Tuition Compare With Other Options in Gurgaon?

A home tutor through IB Gram and live online tuition both give one-to-one attention; a coaching centre batch and a word-of-mouth tutor trade some of that attention for lower cost or convenience. The real decision is what the family is short on: time, subject specialists nearby, or a verified process for checking who is actually teaching their child.

Verification

How Does IB Gram Verify an Online Tutor for Your Family?

A verified profile on IB Gram means the tutor's stated subject background, the level and board they have actually taught, and their availability for the corridor and format a family needs have all been checked before the profile is shown to anyone. For an online tutor specifically, that verification also covers whether they can run a lesson properly on screen: a shared whiteboard or annotation tool used comfortably, a stable connection at the time slots they claim to be free, and a working camera and microphone, because a tutor who is verified on paper but fumbles the basic tools of an online lesson wastes a family's first three sessions finding that out the hard way. What a parent should check themselves does not stop at IB Gram's own verification. Ask directly which subjects and levels the tutor has actually taught this board at, not just studied; ask how they handle a shared whiteboard or document during a live session, and ask for a short trial before any ongoing commitment is made. A tutor's confidence in an interview does not always translate to a clear explanation of a Mathematics AA exploration or an MYP criterion; the trial lesson is where that becomes visible, which is exactly why IB Gram builds a demo or trial into the process rather than treating it as optional. No certificate substitutes for that trial. A workshop attendance certificate or a subject qualification tells a family what a tutor has studied, not how they teach a specific student's gaps, and the only real test of fit is watching one lesson happen. IB Gram's shortlist step exists to narrow the field to profiles worth that trial, not to replace the trial itself, and a family that skips straight from a profile to a long-term commitment without a trial session is taking on more risk than the platform is designed to ask of them.

Setting Up IB Online Tuition That Actually Works at Home

An online IB lesson lives or dies on three unglamorous things: the connection, the screen setup, and where in the flat or house the student actually sits. A stable connection matters more than a fast one; a session that drops twice in fifty minutes loses more teaching time than one running at a slightly lower resolution throughout. A second screen or a tablet propped beside a laptop, one for the shared whiteboard and one for the student's own working, makes a real difference for Mathematics and the sciences, where working needs to be visible to both people at once rather than described out loud. Where the student sits matters more than most families expect before their first session. A desk in a quiet room, away from a television or a sibling's own online class, keeps a forty-five or ninety-minute session from fragmenting into half-attention. A parent nearby for a younger PYP or early MYP student is often useful, close enough to notice if the student has genuinely stopped following, without hovering over the screen in a way that makes an older DP student self-conscious about asking a basic question in front of them. Materials should be organised before the session starts, not hunted for mid-lesson: the student's own exercise book, any past papers being reviewed, and a working pen and paper even during an online class, because writing by hand while talking through a Physics problem still helps most students more than typing does. A shared document or whiteboard tool lets a tutor annotate a past paper live, which is genuinely closer to sitting beside the student with a pencil than most families expect before they try it. None of this is complicated, but skipping it is the single most common reason a family's first attempt at online tuition in Gurgaon disappoints them, not the tutor and not the format itself.

What Should Progress Look Like After a Month of Online Tuition in Gurgaon?

By the end of the first month of IB online tuition in Gurgaon, a family should see something concrete, not just a sense that sessions are happening: a short written note after each lesson covering what was taught and what still needs work, fewer basic errors on the same type of question in school tests, and a student who can explain a topic back without simply repeating the tutor's words. For an MYP student that might mean a criterion the student was scoring three or four out of eight on now consistently reaching five or six; for a DP student it might mean a past paper section completed within the time limit that previously ran well over it. None of this arrives in the first week, and a tutor who claims otherwise is promising more than any tutor honestly can. It is also fair to expect the tutor to flag when something is not working, not just when it is. If a student consistently seems distracted online despite a good setup, or if the same misunderstanding keeps resurfacing after several sessions, a good tutor says so directly rather than quietly extending the course. No tutor can guarantee a grade, and a family should be wary of anyone who implies otherwise; what IB Gram's process can offer is a verified, matched tutor, a trial before commitment, and the option to ask for a different match if the fit clearly is not working after a fair try. Honest limits matter here too. A student who started the Diploma Programme badly behind in a Higher Level subject in January is not going to close that gap entirely before May through tuition alone, online or otherwise; what tuition can do is target the highest-value gaps first and make the most of the months that remain. A family weighing whether to add a second weekly session before mocks should ask the tutor what specifically the extra hour would target, and expect a specific answer, not a general reassurance.

A short written note after each lesson: what was covered, what needs more work

Fewer repeated errors on the same question type in school tests over a few weeks

A tutor who flags a problem directly rather than letting it continue quietly

No guaranteed grades; a family should be cautious of anyone who implies otherwise

Late starts before mocks narrow what is realistically achievable by May, whatever the format

Starting IB Online Tuition in Gurgaon: What the First Session Covers

Getting started takes a short query or a free consultation: the student's programme (PYP, MYP or DP), the exact subject and level, the current school, the corridor, and whether the family is thinking home, online or hybrid to begin with. IB Gram uses that information to shortlist tutors whose profiles are verified and match those needs, factoring in which tutors already teach comfortably in an online format for that subject and level. A demo or trial session follows before anything is committed to, so the family can judge the tutor's teaching style, not just their stated qualifications. Before the first proper session, it helps to have the student's recent school tests or mock results on hand, even informally, along with any specific topics the school has flagged as weak. For an online first session specifically, testing the connection and the shared whiteboard tool a few minutes early avoids losing time on setup during the lesson itself, and having the student's exercise book and any past papers ready on the desk means the tutor can start teaching rather than starting with an inventory of what is missing. The first session itself is usually diagnostic rather than a straight lecture: a tutor spends part of it finding out what the student already knows solidly, what they think they know but do not, and where the actual gaps sit, before agreeing a plan for the weeks ahead. From there, sessions run at home, online or hybrid depending on what the family and student settle on, and if the match is not right after a fair trial, IB Gram can offer a different tutor rather than leaving a family to persist with a poor fit through a whole term.

FAQs

IB tutoring FAQs for Gurgaon

How does IB online tuition work for Gurgaon students?+

After you share the subject, level and school, we match a tutor and book a free trial. Lessons run live over video with a shared digital whiteboard, so the tutor can write, annotate past papers and mark work in real time. Recordings and notes are shared if you ask.

Is online IB tuition as effective as a home tutor?+

For most students, yes, especially in Maths, Sciences and written subjects where the work happens on paper or screen. Online also widens the choice of tutor beyond your sector. Younger MYP children sometimes concentrate better at home, and we can mix both.

How long should an online IB session be?+

Most online sessions run 60 minutes for MYP and 60 to 90 minutes for Diploma subjects, with a short break built in. Longer sessions tend to lose focus on screen, so heavy topics are split across two shorter lessons rather than one marathon.

What do we need for an online lesson?+

A laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection, headphones and a pen with paper or a stylus. A tablet with a pen helps for Maths and Sciences. We test the setup in the trial lesson so any connection problem is fixed before regular classes begin.

Which IB subjects can be taught online?+

All the common ones: Maths AA and AI, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Management, English, Psychology, plus MYP subjects, Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and Internal Assessments. Tell us your subject and level and we confirm tutor availability. For Extended Essay or IA work, share the school's guide early so the tutor can work to the right criteria.

Can we switch tutors if it is not working?+

Yes. If the fit is wrong after a few sessions, tell us what is missing, such as pace, explanation style or exam focus, and we arrange a replacement tutor. You do not need to wait for a full term to ask for a change.

Ready to plan IB support in Gurgaon?

Send a query or book a free consultation describing the student's programme, subject, level, school and corridor, along with whether home, online or hybrid suits the family best. IB Gram asks a few more questions about the school calendar and preferred slot, then shortlists tutors whose profiles are verified and match those needs. A demo or trial session is arranged before anything is committed to. If the first match is not right, a different tutor can be requested at any point, and lessons continue at home, online or hybrid depending on what actually works for the student.
