Some IB students need help in one subject. Others are carrying three at once, plus TOK, the Extended Essay and an IA deadline. This page sets out how to prioritise subjects by grade, build a weekly timetable that does not overload the student, and know when to pause tuition rather than add to it.
Matched by programme, subject, level, weak areas and your school's calendar.

IB subject tuition in Gurgaon usually starts with one subject, then grows, because Diploma Programme students carry six subjects at once and Middle Years Programme students juggle eight groups against four criteria each. IB Gram's home tuition service builds a plan around the whole load, not just the subject that is failing today: which subjects need a specialist first, how many sessions a week is realistic without crowding out sleep and sport, and when a subject should come off the timetable instead of staying on it out of habit. Lessons run at home in the family's own sector, online, or a mix of both, arranged around the school's own calendar of tests, mocks and the May exam session. The aim is a plan a family can actually sustain across DP1 and DP2, or through MYP into the Diploma.
IB Gram starts by asking about the whole subject load, not just the one subject a parent calls about, because a DP student's Physics HL problem is often really a time problem caused by five other subjects. We ask about programme stage, board, current subjects, target grades and the school's own calendar before shortlisting anyone. From there the process is deliberately unglamorous. A parent sends a query or books a free consultation, and IB Gram asks about board, syllabus, level, school calendar, location and schedule. It shortlists tutors whose profiles are verified and match those needs, one specialist for a subject that needs deep syllabus knowledge, or a single tutor across two subjects that sit closer together, such as Chemistry and Biology at SL. A demo or trial session is arranged before the family commits to anything, so the tutor's approach can be checked against the student's actual gaps rather than a CV. Once subjects are matched, the harder work is sequencing them. A DP1 student adding a third subject to tuition in October needs a different weekly rhythm than a DP2 student six weeks from mocks. IB Gram asks what is due when, IA drafts, EE supervision meetings, unit tests, so subject sessions land before the deadline that needs them, not after. If the fit on a subject is wrong, the family can ask for a different match rather than living with a tutor who is not working. Lessons run at home in the family's own sector or society, online, or a mix depending on the subject and the week. A plan is not fixed for the year: IB Gram expects it to be revisited as a subject stabilises or a new pressure point appears, usually every four to six weeks. This is the core of IB subject tuition in Gurgaon done properly: matching each subject cleanly before scheduling anything, not filling slots first and figuring out the fit later.
1. Tell us every subject in play, not just the one causing concern, plus the programme stage.
2. We map the school's own scheme of work, test dates and mock timetable against the request.
3. A specialist is shortlisted for each subject that needs one, or one tutor for two lighter subjects.
4. A trial or demo session confirms fit before the family commits to a weekly slot.
5. The timetable is set across home, online or hybrid sessions, avoiding clashes with school and sleep.
6. Every four to six weeks we review the plan and drop or add a subject as needed.

A primary-age PYP learner rarely needs subject tuition in the way a DP student does. The programme runs from about age three to twelve, 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; Sharing the planet) delivered through units of inquiry, with the ten attributes of the IB learner profile threaded through every unit. There are no external examinations, and the PYP exhibition in the final year is a school-led project, not a paper. Where tuition helps at this stage, it is reading, numeracy and study habits, not subject content drilling. MYP changes the picture. Across MYP 1 to 5 (roughly ages 11 to 16), students work in eight subject groups, and every subject is marked against four criteria, A to D, each scored 0 to 8. The criterion total out of 32 converts to a final grade of 1 to 7 through the IB's grade boundaries, so a student can be strong in content and still lose marks on a criterion they have never been taught to target directly. The Personal Project lands in MYP 5, with the Community Project in MYP 3 or 4, and MYP eAssessment, on-screen examinations plus ePortfolios, is optional in MYP 5 at each school's own discretion. DP is where the multi-subject question gets serious. Six subjects across six groups run for two years, DP1 and DP2, 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 and the Extended Essay add up to 3 more points toward a maximum of 45, with 24 the minimum for the diploma itself, subject to the IB's failing conditions, and CAS running the whole two years alongside the six subjects. A tuition plan at this stage has to treat all of that as one system, not six separate arrangements that happen to share a calendar. A family with one child in MYP and another in DP is planning two different kinds of tuition, not a scaled-up version of the same thing, and IB Gram matches tutors separately for each stage even where sessions land on the same evening.
PYP tuition (rare) supports inquiry and foundational literacy or numeracy, not exam papers.
MYP tuition targets the specific criterion, A, B, C or D, where marks are being lost.
DP tuition covers six subjects at once, so sequencing matters more than in MYP.
TOK, the Extended Essay and CAS run alongside all six DP subjects, not instead of them.
A family with an MYP child and a DP child needs two separate, coordinated plans.
Not every subject on a student's timetable needs a tutor, and naming which ones do is most of the planning work. Mathematics is usually first: AA (Analysis and Approaches) and AI (Applications and Interpretation) are different subjects in practice, each offered at HL and SL, and a tutor fluent in AI HL is not automatically useful for AA SL. Getting the exact combination right before booking anyone saves a family from a mismatched first session. The sciences, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, tend to need a specialist once a student moves from struggling with content to struggling with application: HL Physics problems that combine two topics, Chemistry calculations that depend on earlier bonding concepts, Biology data-based questions that reward precise command-term answers. Because each also carries an internal assessment with its own criteria, a science tutor who understands the IA alongside the syllabus is worth more than one who only drills content. English is where families most often ask for the wrong specialist. English A, split into Language and Literature or Literature, is essay and Individual Oral work; English B is a language-acquisition subject with its own skills of comprehension and structured writing. They are rarely the same tutor's strength, and MYP Language Acquisition below them is different again. TOK and the Extended Essay sit apart from every other subject. TOK asks knowledge questions and runs as discussion, not content delivery, and EE is a supervised research process capped at 4,000 words. A subject specialist can help a student think, but the school's own supervisor stays central to both, and IB Gram positions a TOK or EE tutor as extra structure and feedback, never a replacement for that relationship.
Maths AA and AI split further into HL and SL, so a specialist must match the exact combination.
Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) need a subject specialist once practical work and IA feasibility enter the picture.
English A (Language and Literature or Literature) and English B are different skills, rarely one tutor.
TOK is discussion-led and EE is research-led; neither suits a general subject tutor.
A student strong in three subjects may only need tuition in the two that are slipping.
New Gurgaon covers Sector 82 through Sector 90, plus Kherki Daula and Pataudi Road, with societies including Vatika India Next and Godrej Air. Several international schools sit within reach of this corridor, and families here often run two or three IB subjects in tuition at once because the newer sectors have fewer nearby coaching options, so a home tutor covering more than one subject is genuinely useful rather than a convenience. Dwarka Expressway, Sector 102 through Sector 113, including Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon, is growing fast and pulls families from a wide catchment, some closer to the Delhi border than to central Gurgaon. For a DP student here juggling six subjects, matching more than one tutor from the same broad area keeps evening slots realistic instead of scattered across the city. Old Gurgaon and Palam Vihar, Civil Lines, Sadar Bazar, Jacobpura, Rajendra Park, Ashok Vihar and Sectors 4, 14, 15, 22 and 23, is older and denser, with shorter, more predictable trips between home tutoring sessions even when two or three subjects are booked on the same evening. Across all three corridors, evening traffic between one part of Gurugram (Gurgaon), Haryana and another can stretch a short trip, so IB Gram weighs corridor and society against subject fit when building a multi-subject plan: a family running three subjects in tuition benefits more from home tutors who can reach the same sector on the same evening than from three separate specialists scattered across town. Where the right specialist for a scarce subject sits outside the corridor, online sessions for that one subject alongside home tuition for the rest is often the better call.
New Gurgaon: Sectors 82-90, Kherki Daula and Pataudi Road, including Vatika India Next and Godrej Air.
Dwarka Expressway: Sectors 102-113, including Godrej Summit, Sobha City and ATS Kocoon.
Old Gurgaon and Palam Vihar: Civil Lines, Sadar Bazar, Jacobpura, Rajendra Park, Ashok Vihar and Sectors 4-23.
Evening traffic between corridors can stretch a short trip, which matters when two subject tutors are booked back to back.
Society gate entry and visitor registration add a few minutes before every home session, not just the first one.
Families at 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 each work to their own school calendar. IB Gram is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any school named here, the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge International Education or Pearson Edexcel; naming these schools is local context only, not a claim about what any one of them teaches. What is common across Gurgaon's IB schools is the shape of the pressure, even where the exact dates differ. Most schools enter students for the May exam session, with a minority using November alongside retake candidates. Each school sets its own DP2 mock examination dates, usually several months ahead of May, and those mocks are where a shaky subject becomes visible early enough to still fix. Past papers, markschemes and subject reports come through the school or the IB's own official channels and are the clearest evidence of how marks are actually awarded, more reliable than any tutor's opinion. Command terms, define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss, to what extent, set the depth every answer needs, and a subject slipping in tuition is often really a command-term problem: a student who can explain a concept but cannot evaluate it under exam conditions. Home tuition sessions timed around a school's own test calendar, rather than a generic weekly slot, catch this earlier, because the tutor is working from the same command terms and the same recent test the school just set, not a separate syllabus of their own.
Term starts, unit tests and festival or winter breaks all shift subject tuition around, not just exam season.

Command terms, define, describe, explain, evaluate, discuss, to what extent, set how deep every answer must go.
IB Gram's lead service is home tuition, a verified tutor teaching the student at home, in the family's own sector or society, and for most DP subjects this is still where the most careful work happens. A home tutor sitting beside the student catches the working a screen cannot: the sign error in a Maths AA step, the unit left off a Physics answer, the paragraph in an English essay that needed one more piece of evidence. For a family running two or three subjects in tuition, home classes on consecutive evenings also mean the student is not managing three different platforms and three different routines in one week. Online lessons are a real alternative, not a downgrade, for some of the same subjects. TOK discussion works well over a screen, EE feedback on a drafted section works well by shared document and call, and a graphic display calculator or a shared whiteboard covers most of what a Maths session needs. Online also solves the specialist problem: a scarce subject tutor, Computer Science or a particular HL combination, may not be reachable at home from every corridor, and online removes that constraint entirely. Hybrid is what most multi-subject families end up with in practice, not because it is a compromise but because different subjects genuinely suit different modes. A student might keep Chemistry as home tuition for the lab-adjacent discussion and take TOK online on a weeknight when travel does not make sense. IB Gram matches mode to subject and sector rather than defaulting to one for the whole plan, and the mix can change as mocks approach or a subject comes off the timetable. Good IB subject tuition in Gurgaon rarely settles on one mode for every subject; it settles on the right mode for each one.
Home tuition suits Maths and sciences where working is checked line by line on paper.
Online suits TOK discussion, EE feedback and subjects where screen-sharing a graphic calculator works well.
Hybrid keeps one subject at home and another online in the same week, by need not habit.
A missed home session on a bad traffic evening can often move online instead of being lost.
Two or three subjects rarely need the same mode; matching by subject beats a single house rule.
Families weighing several IB subjects usually compare four options: a separate specialist per subject, one tutor across a few subjects, a coaching centre package, or online group classes. Each suits a different situation. The trade-off that decides it is usually attention versus cost and convenience: more individual attention per subject generally means more tutors and more scheduling to manage, while a bundled package trades some of that attention for simplicity and a lower cost per hour.
| What matters | Separate specialists per subject | One tutor for several subjects | Coaching centre package | Online group classes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attention per student | Deep, subject-specific attention in every session, but coordinating several tutors takes more parent effort. | Good attention on each subject, though depth on a scarce or advanced subject may be thinner. | Attention is shared across a batch; strong students and quiet strugglers both get less individual notice. | Attention is shared across the group, with limited scope for one student's specific gap. |
| Syllabus fit | Each tutor matches the exact HL or SL combination and syllabus for their subject. | Works if the tutor genuinely knows both syllabuses at the right level; check this before committing. | Batches are often built for a general IB cohort, not a student's exact HL/SL mix. | Group content usually targets a common syllabus, which may not match every HL/SL choice in the room. |
| Travel and time in Gurgaon | More sessions can mean more evenings committed, though each tutor can be matched to the family's corridor. | Fewer trips or logins overall, since one person covers more of the timetable. | One regular trip to a fixed centre, at a fixed time, regardless of traffic that evening. | No travel at all, which suits families across Dwarka Expressway or New Gurgaon on a tight evening. |
| Scheduling flexibility | Each tutor's slot can move independently if school plans change. | Simpler to reschedule since fewer people are involved. | Fixed batch timing; missing a class is harder to make up. | Usually fixed timing too, though a recording may be available afterwards. |
| Coursework or IA help within academic integrity rules | A subject specialist can mentor that subject's IA directly, within the rules; the tutor never writes the work. | Can mentor IAs across subjects if genuinely qualified in each; check this carefully. | IA guidance, if offered, is usually generic and not tailored to the student's specific topic. | IA support in a group setting is limited to general guidance, not individual feedback. |
| Feedback to parents | Each tutor can report on their own subject in detail. | One coordinated update covering more than one subject at once. | Feedback is usually a periodic report card rather than a running conversation. | Feedback is often limited to test scores within the platform. |
| How the tutor or teacher is chosen and checked | Each tutor's profile is verified and matched subject by subject before a trial session. | Verified once, across the subjects they are matched for. | Teachers are chosen by the centre; parents rarely see individual credentials. | Instructors are chosen by the platform, not by the family. |
| Trial before committing | A demo or trial session for each subject before committing to a weekly plan. | One trial session, usually covering the subject of most immediate concern first. | Often a single trial class for the whole batch programme, not per subject. | Sometimes a free first class; rarely tailored to one student's gaps. |
| Cost structure | More individual sessions generally cost more overall, subject to level and schedule. | Often more efficient per subject than separate specialists, subject to availability. | Usually a lower cost per hour, bundled across a term or batch. | Typically the lowest cost per session, reflecting the shared format. |
| Who it suits best | A student with several subjects genuinely slipping, or an exam year needing depth in each. | A student with two or three lighter needs, where one tutor can realistically cover both. | A student who works well in a group and mainly needs structured revision. | A student who is self-motivated and mainly needs practice papers and peer pace. |
IB Gram shortlists tutors whose profiles are verified and matched to the family's stated board, syllabus, level, school calendar, location and schedule, and a demo or trial session is arranged before any commitment. For a multi-subject plan, verification happens per subject: a tutor confirmed for HL Chemistry is not automatically the right shortlist for AI Maths, even if they teach both, and each subject in the plan goes through the same shortlisting step rather than being bundled in on trust. Parents should still ask their own questions, because no platform replaces a parent's judgement in a home. Ask a prospective tutor to talk through the exact syllabus and paper structure of the subject in question, not just the board name, since a vague answer here is the clearest early warning sign. Ask how they intend to track IA, Extended Essay or Personal Project deadlines if those are part of the plan, and ask what a typical session looks like, new content, past-paper practice, or a mix, and how that mix will change as an exam session gets closer. If a subject tutor is not the right fit after the trial, or after a few sessions, the family can ask IB Gram for a different match rather than living with it out of politeness. This matters more in a multi-subject plan than a single-subject one, because one weak match can quietly drag down a student's confidence in a subject that was previously fine, and catching that early is worth more than persisting for a term.

There is no fixed rule for which IB subject gets a tutor first, but there is a reliable way to reason about it. Start with what is graded most heavily in the near term: a subject with a mock in six weeks outranks one with no test until next term, whatever the student says troubles them most. Then weigh HL against SL, since an HL subject carries more teaching hours and more marks riding on it, and weigh a subject with an IA or coursework deadline attached against one that is purely exam-based, because a missed IA deadline cannot be undone the way a poor test score can. A student strong in three of six subjects genuinely may not need tuition in any of them; the case for tuition is weakest exactly where the school reports are already good. A weekly timetable with two or three subjects works when it respects the rest of the student's week, not just the tutor's availability. As a rough shape: one subject on two evenings if it is the priority, the other one or two subjects on a single evening each, leaving at least one weekday evening and part of the weekend genuinely free. Cramming three subjects into three consecutive evenings after a full school day tends to produce diminishing returns by the third session, tired attention rather than real practice. Pausing or dropping a subject from tuition is a normal part of the plan, not a failure of it. A subject that has stabilised after a school report or a mock, an IA that has been submitted, or an EE that has moved past its research phase, are all natural points to step tuition down rather than keep a slot out of habit. The reverse is also true: a subject that looked fine in DP1 can need a tutor again once HL content compounds in DP2. Reviewing the whole plan every four to six weeks, not just when something goes wrong, is what keeps a multi-subject arrangement from either overloading the student or under-serving a subject that has quietly started to slip. Home tutoring suits the subjects where written working matters most; online suits scarce specialists and discussion-based work like TOK; most families end up with a mix that shifts term to term rather than picking one mode for the whole plan and sticking with it regardless of the subject.
Priority by grade is reasoning, not a rule: weigh the nearest test, HL versus SL, and any IA deadline.
A workable week: the priority subject twice, one or two others once each, one evening left free.
Pause tuition once a report, mock or submitted IA shows a subject has stabilised.

Review the whole plan every four to six weeks, not only when something has gone wrong.
Across a multi-subject plan, progress rarely moves at the same pace in every subject at once, and expecting it to is the fastest way to feel disappointed by tuition that is actually working. A Maths subject with clear right and wrong answers tends to show movement in test scores within a term. TOK and Extended Essay work, or an English essay skill, move more slowly and show up first as better reasoning in a draft, not a jump in a school grade. No tutor can guarantee a grade, on one subject or on six, and any promise that sounds like one is worth treating with suspicion rather than relief. Honest limits matter here too. A subject tutor works alongside the school's own teacher, IA supervisor or EE supervisor, not instead of them, and the school's own assessment of a student's standing, reports, predicted grades, mock results, stays the primary evidence of where things actually stand. A tuition plan that ignores what the school is already saying is working from the wrong data. If a subject shows no movement after about a month of regular sessions, that is worth a conversation, not patience for its own sake. Sometimes the fix is a different tutor for that one subject; sometimes it is fewer subjects at once so the student has room to actually absorb what is being taught; sometimes the honest answer is that the subject needs less tuition and more independent practice between sessions. A plan reviewed every four to six weeks catches this before a full term is spent on something that was not working.
Expect steadier test scores within a term, not a guaranteed grade on any subject.
A tutor cannot guarantee a grade; no one honestly can, across one subject or six.
Progress in one subject can stall while another improves; the plan should flex around that.
A tutor is not a substitute for the school's own teacher, supervisor or coordinator.
If nothing has moved after a month on a subject, that is a signal to review, not wait out.
Starting is a short conversation, not a commitment. A parent sends a query or books a free consultation, and IB Gram asks about board, syllabus, level, school calendar, location and schedule for every subject in the plan, not just the one that prompted the call. Naming the programme stage, PYP, MYP or DP, and roughly which subjects are strong and which are not, is enough to start shortlisting. The first session with any tutor in the plan works best as a diagnostic rather than a lesson: recent test papers, the current unit, and a look at what the student's own working looks like on paper. For a subject with an IA or Extended Essay attached, this first session is also where the tutor should be clear that mentoring means questions and feedback, never writing the work, which is the boundary the IB's own academic integrity rules require and that any honest tutor should hold without being asked. From there, the family and IB Gram agree a starting timetable across however many subjects are in the plan, home, online or hybrid depending on subject and corridor, subject to tutor availability. Nothing about this is locked in: a subject can be added, paused or moved between modes as the term goes on, and the first review sits about four to six weeks out, in time to adjust well before the next school test or mock rather than after it. This is what IB subject tuition in Gurgaon should look like at the start: honest about what one term can realistically cover, and built around the whole subject load rather than one deadline.
List every subject currently in play, including TOK, EE and CAS if relevant.
Note the school's own mock dates and any IA or EE deadlines already set.

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.
Most families do best with tuition in one or two subjects at a time, occasionally three during an exam term. Start with whichever subject has the nearest test, mock or IA deadline, then add a second only if the first is manageable alongside school and sleep. A student with six DP subjects does not need six tutors; the case for adding a subject to tuition is usually a specific gap, an upcoming assessment, or a criterion the student keeps losing marks on, not a general feeling of falling behind everywhere.
A workable shape is one priority subject on two evenings a week, and one or two other subjects on a single evening each, leaving at least one weekday evening and part of the weekend free. Packing three subjects into three consecutive evenings after a full school day usually produces tired attention by the third session rather than real progress. The exact mix should shift as mocks approach and ease off once a subject stabilises, reviewed roughly every four to six weeks rather than fixed for the whole term.
Pause a subject once a school report, mock or submitted IA shows it has stabilised, rather than keeping the slot out of habit. It is also fine to drop a subject that a student can genuinely manage independently, freeing that time for one that is actually slipping. The reverse happens too: a subject that looked fine in DP1 can need tuition again once HL content compounds in DP2, so pausing is a normal, expected part of a multi-subject plan, not a sign something went wrong.
Sometimes, if the subjects sit close together and the tutor is genuinely strong in both, such as Chemistry and Biology at SL, or two humanities subjects with similar essay skills. It works less well across very different disciplines, Maths AA HL and English A, for instance, or where one subject is scarce and specialised. IB Gram checks a tutor's depth in each subject before matching them to more than one, and a trial session on each subject is the honest way to confirm the fit.
A verified home tutor travels to the family's own sector or society for each session, subject to availability and to how many subjects are on the timetable. In corridors like New Gurgaon (Sector 82 to 90) or Dwarka Expressway (Sector 102 to 113), evening traffic between one part of Gurugram (Gurgaon) and another can stretch a short trip, so IB Gram tries to match home tuition tutors who can reach the same corridor for more than one subject rather than scattering sessions across the city.
A missed home session can usually move online for that week instead of being lost, especially useful for a family in Palam Vihar or Old Gurgaon already running one subject as hybrid. Let the tutor know as early as possible so the slot can be rearranged rather than simply cancelled. This flexibility matters more in a multi-subject plan, where one missed session can otherwise push the whole week's schedule out of balance across two or three subjects.
Yes, subject to matching a tutor with the right background, and always within the IB's academic integrity rules: a tutor gives feedback, structure and mentoring, and never writes the work. For a student managing IAs in two or three subjects plus the Extended Essay and TOK, IB Gram tracks which deadlines fall when so tuition sessions land before a draft is due rather than after, and a subject tutor's IA support stays separate from the school's own supervisor, not a replacement for them.
Every tutor's profile is checked before being shortlisted for a family's request, and a demo or trial session lets the parent judge fit directly before committing to a weekly slot. Parents should still ask their own questions: the exact syllabus and paper structure for the subject, how the tutor plans to track any IA or coursework deadline, and what a typical session looks like. If a match is wrong on any one subject in a multi-subject plan, the family can ask for a different tutor for that subject alone.
That is entirely the family's choice; there is no requirement either way. Younger MYP students or a first session with a new tutor often go more smoothly with a parent nearby, while many DP students prefer to work independently once the tutor and student have a routine. What matters more across several subjects is a consistent, quiet study space and the right materials to hand, so a session on Physics one evening and English the next both start without losing the first ten minutes to setup.
That is worth a conversation with IB Gram, not something to wait out. Sometimes the fix is a different tutor for that one subject, sometimes it is fewer subjects running at once so the student has room to actually absorb what is being taught, and sometimes the honest answer is that the subject needs less tuition and more independent practice between sessions. Reviewing the whole plan every four to six weeks is designed to catch this before a full term goes by.
Yes, though what tuition looks like differs by stage. MYP tuition usually targets the specific criterion, A to D, where a student keeps losing marks, while DP tuition has to manage six subjects, HL and SL, running at once alongside TOK, the Extended Essay and CAS. A family with children in both MYP and DP typically needs two coordinated plans rather than one, and IB Gram matches tutors separately for each stage even when sessions run on the same evening.
