IB DP tutor jobs

The Diploma is where tutoring gets technical: two levels per subject, internal assessment that counts, an Extended Essay, TOK, and a fixed exam session. If you know that machinery, this is where your rate goes furthest.

IB DP tutor jobs at IB Gram are freelance engagements teaching Diploma Programme students at Higher or Standard Level, including internal assessment, Extended Essay and TOK support. You apply once, list your subjects and levels, pass an ID and credential check, then receive matched students. Home tuition is 50-50 for month one and 100% yours after; online is 70% yours, paid on the 1st monthly.

The Diploma Programme is the most demanding tutoring work we place, and the best paid. A DP student is carrying six subjects at two different levels, three pieces of core work, internal assessment in most subjects, and a single terminal exam session that determines university admission. By the time a family contacts us, something specific has usually gone wrong and there is a deadline attached to it.

That shapes the job. You are rarely asked to teach a subject from scratch. You are asked to rescue a Higher Level grade two terms before the May session, or to get an internal assessment from a vague idea into a defensible investigation before an internal deadline, or to raise a predicted grade that is about to cost a student a conditional offer.

It also means DP families screen tutors hard. Current and former DP teachers, examiners and moderators are what they look for, and they ask. If you have that background, say so in your profile and evidence it — we display it, and it is the clearest justification for a higher fee on the platform.

What DP tutors earn and what we take

DP Higher Level is the highest-rate work on the platform, and the reason is simple supply and demand: the number of people who can teach Physics HL or Maths AA HL to a student chasing a 7 is small, and the window in which that student needs them is short. Rates climb further from January as the May session approaches.

You set your own fee and we publish it unchanged. Our share depends only on mode, never on subject or level — we do not take a larger cut because you charge more. Home tuition is split 50-50 for the first month and is 100% yours from month two. Online classes are a flat 70/30 in your favour, every month.

Short, intensive engagements are common in DP work: six weeks of revision before the session, or four weeks of IA supervision. For home tuition that means the 50-50 first month can be most of a short engagement, so it is worth being clear-eyed — for genuinely short pieces of work, online at a flat 70/30 usually leaves you with more.
