IB Math Tuition Centres in Singapore
IB Diploma students pick one of two maths courses, Analysis and Approaches (AA) or Applications and Interpretation (AI), each at Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL). The two courses differ a lot. AA leans on algebra, calculus and proof, while AI puts more weight on statistics, modelling and technology. A tutor who teaches your child's exact course and level is worth looking for.
What IB Math covers
- Number and algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and calculus. Both courses share these five topics but treat them differently.
- Paper 1 in AA is taken without a calculator. AI allows a graphic display calculator in every paper.
- The internal assessment is a written mathematical exploration on a topic the student chooses, marked by the school and moderated by the IB.
Choosing an IB Math tuition centre
Check that the centre teaches your child's exact course and level (SL or HL), and ask how much help it gives with the internal assessment. IB schools in Singapore sit either the May or the November exam session, so ask whether the timetable fits your child's session. Class size and whether a trial lesson is offered are worth comparing too; both are shown on each listing.
Frequently asked questions
AA or AI: which should my child take?
It depends on what they plan to study after the IB. Many engineering, physics and maths degrees ask for AA HL, while AI suits students heading into social sciences, business or biology. Check the entry requirements of the universities your child is considering before choosing.
Can a tutor help with the maths exploration?
Tutors can help a student choose a workable topic, plan the structure and understand the maths involved. The exploration itself must be the student's own work under IB rules.
