Tutoring
IB tutor jobs
IB tutor jobs at IB Gram are freelance tutoring engagements, not salaried posts. You apply once, list the IB programmes and subjects you can teach, pass an ID and credential check, then receive matched students. Home tuition is split 50-50 for the first month and is 100% yours from month two; online classes are 70% yours. Payouts land on the 1st of each month.
Role Overview
We match IB students with tutors who know the programme they are actually in — not just the subject. Tell us which stage you can teach, the hours you can keep and the fee you want, and we bring you students who fit.
Job Description
IB tutor jobs at IB Gram are freelance tutoring engagements, not salaried posts. You apply once, list the IB programmes and subjects you can teach, pass an ID and credential check, then receive matched students. Home tuition is split 50-50 for the first month and is 100% yours from month two; online classes are 70% yours. Payouts land on the 1st of each month.
This is not a salaried teaching post and we do not ask you to work fixed shifts. You are an independent professional: you choose which students to take, how many hours a week you teach, whether you teach online or travel to a home, and what you charge. IB Gram finds the students, arranges the first demo class, collects the fees from the family and pays you monthly.
What makes IB work different from general tuition is that a parent is rarely looking for "a maths tutor". They are looking for someone who can teach Maths AA at Higher Level to a student sitting the May session, or who can get an MYP Year 4 student to write a decent reflection against Criterion D. Matching on that level is the whole point of the platform, and it is why we ask for your programme and level in detail rather than just a subject list.
Most tutors who join us are already teaching: current or former IB school teachers, examiners and moderators, postgraduates in their subject, and experienced private tutors moving off word-of-mouth referrals. You do not need to have taught in an IB school to be accepted, but you do need to show that you know the programme you are applying to teach, because the first demo class is where a parent decides.
What IB tutors earn and what we take
You set your own hourly fee. We do not cap it and we do not undercut you — the family sees your fee before they book, so there is no haggling after the demo. IB subjects at Higher Level, and DP subjects close to an exam session, are where tutors charge the most, because the supply of people who can teach them properly is small.
Our cut depends only on the mode, never on the subject or the programme. For home tuition, the first month's fee is split 50-50 and from the second month onwards you keep 100% — we take nothing further for as long as you keep teaching that student. For online classes it is a flat 70/30 in your favour, every month.
The split that applies when a student starts is locked for that student. If we ever change these terms, the change is announced at least 30 days ahead and applies only to students who start after it.
Responsibilities
- Teach IB students one to one, matched to you by programme, subject and level before you accept.
- Plan each session around the student's current school unit rather than a fixed syllabus of your own.
- Prepare students for the assessment model of their stage, including internal assessment and exam technique where it applies.
- Set and publish your own fee, and decline any student who is not a fit.
- Keep agreed session times, and give notice through IB Gram if a session must move.
- Report progress to the family at the review points agreed at the start of the engagement.
- Teach online across time zones using your own device and connection.
Requirements
- Genuine command of your subject at the level you teach. A degree in the subject, or a teaching qualification in it, or demonstrable results with students at that level. For Higher Level DP subjects we expect depth beyond the syllabus, not just coverage of it.
- Working knowledge of the IB programme you apply for. You should be able to talk about the assessment model of your stage: criteria and task-specific clarifications in MYP, internal assessment and the grade boundaries in DP, the transdisciplinary units in PYP.
- Government photo ID for verification. Every tutor uploads a government photo ID. We check it before your profile goes live. This confirms identity; it is not a police or criminal-records check, and we say so on your profile rather than implying more.
- A reliable setup for the mode you choose. For online: stable broadband, a working camera and microphone, and a quiet, professional space. For home tuition: the ability to travel reliably to the areas you list.
Nice To Have
- Experience teaching in an IB school. A strong signal and we weight it, but we accept excellent subject specialists from outside the IB system who can show they have learned the assessment model.
- IB examiner or moderator experience. Carries real weight with DP parents and lets you charge more. We will display it on your profile once you evidence it.
