IB Programmes — PYP, MYP, DP and CP

Snapshot of all four programmes

PYP (Primary Years Programme, ages 3–12) is built around six transdisciplinary themes that cut across subjects. Tutoring at this stage usually supports reading fluency, early Maths, English-language reasoning, and exhibition-year structure. MYP (Middle Years Programme, ages 11–16) is criterion-based across eight subject groups. Tutoring focuses on understanding the criteria, structuring extended-response answers, and preparing the Personal Project in year five. DP (Diploma Programme, ages 16–19) is the IB's flagship two-year examination route. Tutoring covers HL/SL paper structure, the Internal Assessment, the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, command-term-aware revision, and final exam pacing. CP (Career-related Programme, ages 16–19) combines two or more DP courses with a career-related study, a Reflective Project, and service learning. Tutoring tends to focus on the DP subjects within the CP plan and on Reflective Project mentoring.

How families typically choose a tutor through this hub

From this hub, most families click into the specific programme page that matches their child's current year. From there, they either book a discovery conversation or jump straight to a subject-specific page (for DP, the Maths or Sciences pages are the most-clicked). Matching reviews start with the programme stage, then the subject and level (HL or SL where applicable), then the school calendar, and finally the realistic lesson-mode preference. Subject fit is protected first; lesson-mode fit is fitted around it.

Where IB families are searching from

IB Gram supports families across Gurugram (still searched as Gurgaon), Delhi (especially South Delhi and Vasant Vihar), Noida (Expressway communities and Sector 50/62), Mumbai (BKC, Powai, Bandra), Bangalore (Indiranagar, Whitefield, Sarjapur) and Hyderabad. Each city hub page lists realistic IB programme availability, the strongest subject inventory, and the local areas with their own area-specific tutor guides.

Home, online and hybrid options for any IB programme

Lessons run in three modes and the right answer depends on subject specialist availability, not on where the student lives. Home tutoring is the default for younger students and for subjects where a specialist is realistically nearby — this is common across central India for popular subjects. Online tutoring becomes the right answer when the strongest specialist for a Higher Level subject or for a specific exam board is not located close to home. This is especially true for niche subjects, for HL-only support, and for students whose timetable does not allow travel during weekday evenings. Hybrid plans — typically home for term-time content depth, online for mock revision and weekend exam practice — are common for Diploma Programme Year 2 students between the November mocks and final May exams.
