IB Math AI SL TutoringOne-to-one online preparation for the Matematik Standard Level syllabus
In our IB Math Applications and Interpretation (AI) SL tutoring programme you prepare one-to-one with teachers who know the IB assessment criteria, on a syllabus focused on mathematical modelling, statistics and GDC use.
Quick Answer
IB Math AI SL Tutoring (SL) covers the AA and AI syllabuses through one-to-one online lessons tailored to the student's level; concept teaching, IA guidance and past-paper practice are worked through together every week.

About IB Math AI SL Tutoring
Our IB Math AI SL (Applications and Interpretation Standard Level) tutoring programme fully covers the AI SL syllabus, which focuses on the applications of mathematics. AI SL is the most suitable mathematics syllabus for SL students heading towards business, social sciences, the arts, humanities and data-related programmes.
The core topics of the AI SL syllabus include algebra and number systems (percentage error, sequences and series, introductory logarithms), functions (modelling: linear, quadratic, exponential, piecewise), geometry and trigonometry (applied, 3D geometry, introductory Voronoi diagrams), statistics and probability (regression, correlation, distributions, introductory hypothesis testing) and calculus (modelling applications, introductory differentiation/integration).
The AI SL exam consists of two written papers plus the IA. Paper 1 (40%, 1.5 hours) contains short-response questions solved with a GDC. Paper 2 (40%, 1.5 hours) consists of longer, problem-based questions solved with a GDC. The Internal Assessment (20%) is usually a mathematical exploration of a real data set or an application problem.
The Internal Assessment (IA) makes up 20% of the AI SL grade. We provide comprehensive support at every stage of the IA: choosing a research question, collecting and cleaning data, regression and statistical tests, GDC-based modelling and academic report writing.
Our programme for AI SL is built on two core goals: developing mathematical modelling competence and taking GDC use to an advanced level. Topic-based past-paper practice, practice with real data sets and individual weak-spot work are integrated into each student's programme.
All lessons are delivered fully one-to-one through our own online teaching platform.
IB assessment experience
Lessons are, wherever possible, planned with teachers who have relevant subject experience and a strong command of the IB assessment criteria. For some subjects we can offer lessons with teachers who have IB Examiner experience; matching is done based on subject, level and teacher availability.

About grade boundaries: IB grade boundary ranges vary noticeably by subject, level and exam session. In some subjects the proportion needed for a 7 can range between 55–85%, so the current May/November session boundary documents should be checked separately. In our one-to-one lessons we review the student's realistic grade range together using past-session boundaries and mock results.
IA / Written-Task Support
Where do one-to-one lessons provide support on the Internal Assessment and written tasks?
Choosing the research question
We narrow down a topic that matches the student's interests and syllabus (AA / AI) and can be developed mathematically.
Mathematical modelling
Moving from data to model, parameter selection and clearly writing the model's limitations are planned together.
Communication & Presentation
Notation, formula writing, graph labelling and logical flow are checked against the IB rubric.
Reflection & Personal Engagement
The process journal, discussion of alternative approaches and real-world application of the model are structured to the rubric.
Comparing Preparation Paths
The differences between self-study, group classes and one-to-one support for IB Math AI SL Tutoring
Self-study
Avantajlar
- Flexible schedule, no extra cost
- Self-paced progress
Limitations
- No feedback on IA / oral / written tasks
- Hard to spot knowledge gaps
- Difficult to interpret the IB rubric alone
Best for?
Students with strong subject command and low need for feedback.
School / group course
Avantajlar
- Regular schedule, peer interaction
- Shared course materials
Limitations
- Not planned around personal pace and target grade
- Limited one-to-one IA / oral / written-task feedback
- Question-by-question problem solving stays average
Best for?
Students who want a general command of the core syllabus.
One-to-one online tutoring
Avantajlar
- A personal plan based on target grade and current level
- One-to-one feedback on IA / oral / written tasks / past papers
- Flexible hours, recorded lesson replays
Limitations
- Higher cost than self-study
Best for?
Students with a clear target grade who want personalised feedback.
Study Plan Framework
A typical 4-phase structure for IB Math AI SL Tutoring in one-to-one lessons; adapted to the student's exam date.
1 — Diagnosis
Weeks 1-2
- Establishing current level, target grade and exam date
- Diagnostic past paper for knowledge gaps
- Weekly lesson and study schedule
2 — Subject mastery
Weeks 3-12
- Sequential concept teaching + worked examples
- Topic-based past papers / quizzes
- Extra revision sessions on weak topics
3 — IA / written task
In parallel throughout the syllabus
- RQ selection, drafting, data / evidence collection
- Line-by-line feedback against the IB rubric
- Revision and academic language work
4 — Exam preparation
8-12 weeks before the exam
- Full past paper (mock) practice
- Mark scheme and model answer analysis
- Time management and exam strategy
This framework is a sample plan; it is customised for each student based on exam date, target grade and current level.
How One-to-One Lessons Work
The general structure of IB Math AI SL Tutoring sessions
Starts with diagnosis
In the first session a diagnostic past paper / oral assessment clearly maps the current level and knowledge gaps.
A plan based on the target grade
A weekly lesson and study plan is made together, factoring in the student's target grade, exam date and school calendar.
Concept + problem solving
Each session has two blocks: concept consolidation and past-paper-focused problem solving.
Feedback against the IB rubric
IA, written tasks, orals and exam answers are read line by line against the IB assessment criteria, with concrete revisions suggested.
Weekly progress
A short progress summary is shared at the end of each week; the plan is revised as needed.
Recorded lesson replays
Lesson recordings can be shared on request, so students can revisit a topic during revision.
