IB Diploma Programme
What Is the IB Diploma?
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year qualification for students aged 16 to 19, assessed by the IB Organisation. Students take six subjects across distinct groups alongside Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and CAS, making it one of the broadest pre-university programmes available.
Talimat's IB tutors work exclusively on the DP syllabus, helping students manage the workload across all six subject groups and supporting the core components that so often catch students off-guard. Strong IB results open doors to top universities worldwide, including those that also accept A-Levels.

Why 1:1 IB Support Works
Subject-group specialists
Every tutor holds a relevant degree in their IB subject area and has worked with DP students specifically, not just general science or maths graduates.
HL and SL clarity
Our tutors distinguish clearly between SL and HL demands, targeting the additional depth and assessment objectives required at Higher Level.
Core component coaching
TOK essays, the Extended Essay, and CAS reflection are areas where students lose points needlessly. Dedicated sessions address these directly.
Exam technique focus
IB examiners reward precise command terms. Our tutors drill the difference between 'analyse', 'evaluate', and 'discuss' until students apply them instinctively.

IB DP Assessment Structure
Six subjects. Three core components. One score that universities trust.
The IB DP grades students from 1 to 7 in each subject, with a maximum of 45 points including the core. Internal assessments, oral components, and written examinations all contribute. Knowing exactly what each assessment demands is where a specialist IB tutor makes the difference.
External exams — Two or three written papers per subject, sat in May or November session.
Internal assessments — Coursework components marked by teachers and moderated by the IB, counting 20-30% of the final grade.
Extended Essay — A 4,000-word independent research essay graded A-E, contributing to the Diploma bonus points.
Theory of Knowledge — An exhibition and 1,600-word essay assessing critical thinking across all subject areas.
Bonus points — Up to 3 additional points awarded for strong TOK and EE grades combined.

PARENT STORIES
Families across the GCC trust Talimat for IB support.
We asked parents to share what changed after their child started working with a Talimat IB tutor. These are their words.
My son was drowning in HL Chemistry and his Extended Essay at the same time. Within three weeks of starting with his Talimat tutor, he had a clear structure for the EE and was actually keeping up with the class. I wish we had done this at the start of Year 11.
Outcome: Student moved from a predicted 4 to a 6 in HL Chemistry.

Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi · son Year 12 IB DP
The tutor explained Theory of Knowledge in a way that finally made sense. My daughter had been stressing about it for months and after a few sessions she felt genuinely confident going into the essay. The 1:1 format made all the difference, she could ask questions she would never ask in class.
Outcome: TOK essay submitted on time with full confidence.

Hessa M.
Jumeirah, Dubai · daughter Year 12 IB DP
We were worried about finding someone who knew the IB properly, not just A-Levels in disguise. The tutor Talimat matched us with clearly knew the command terms, the markscheme language, and exactly what the examiner expects. The sessions felt very focused and purposeful.
Outcome: IB Economics HL grade improved by two bands.

Tariq F.
Olaya, Riyadh · son Year 12 IB DP
Scheduling was the thing I was unsure about. We are in Riyadh and I thought finding a slot that works around school hours would be tricky. It was not. We had a confirmed tutor and a regular slot within a day of signing up.
Outcome: Regular weekly sessions running within 24 hours of enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions: IB DP Tutoring Online
These are the questions GCC parents ask us most often before booking. If yours isn't here, contact us directly and we'll answer within the hour.
Yes. Mid-year enrolment is straightforward at Talimat. Your child's Academic Consultant reviews the syllabus units already covered at school and builds a plan from the current point, so no time is wasted revisiting content your child already knows.
Yes. Talimat tutors cover both SL and HL across all subject groups. Tutors assigned to HL students are matched specifically for HL depth, including the additional assessment objectives and extended content that SL courses do not require.
Both components get dedicated 1:1 sessions. For the Extended Essay, tutors guide students through topic selection, research methodology, and drafting across the 4,000-word structure. TOK sessions focus on the exhibition and the 1,600-word essay, including practising the command-term language examiners expect.
Talimat covers all six IB subject groups: Mathematics (AA and AI), Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Individuals and Societies (Economics, History, Business Management, Psychology), Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, and the Arts. TOK and EE supervision are also available.
Live 1:1 online sessions match and often exceed in-person results because the tutor adapts every explanation to your child's responses in real time. There is no waiting for a group to catch up, and every session is focused entirely on your child's specific gaps.
Most families receive a confirmed tutor match within 10 minutes of enquiring. Your Academic Consultant contacts you directly to confirm the tutor profile and schedule the free trial session, often on the same day.
Talimat can support the transition. If a student moves from IB to A-Levels, their Academic Consultant reviews the new curriculum requirements and arranges a tutor with A-Level subject expertise. The parent dashboard retains the student's progress history throughout.
Talimat tutoring does not affect school enrolment status. Students use Talimat as supplementary support and can continue at, leave, or re-enter a physical IB school entirely independently of their tutoring arrangement.
IB DP tutoring starts from AED 65 per hour. There is no enrolment deposit and no hidden fees. You can cancel anytime. Your Academic Consultant will confirm the exact rate for your child's subject combination during the free consultation.
Yes. Every Talimat IB tutor works from the current IB DP syllabus guides and is familiar with the published mark schemes and examiner reports. Sessions are aligned to the May or November session your child is targeting.
A stable internet connection, a laptop or tablet, and a web browser are all that is required. Talimat's live session platform runs in-browser with no additional software to install. A webcam is recommended but not mandatory.
Talimat has tutors based across the GCC and internationally. Sessions run Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time, so scheduling fits around school hours in the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait without requiring late-night or early-morning slots.
What Parents Should Know Before IB Year 12 Begins
The jump from Year 11 into the second year of the IB Diploma is where most students feel the pressure peak. This section explains what makes the DP genuinely demanding and what a 1:1 tutor changes in practice.
The IB Diploma Programme assesses students across six subjects simultaneously, with internal assessments running in parallel to exam preparation. Unlike a single-subject qualification, every subject group deadline affects every other one.
For GCC families, many IB schools operate with class sizes that make individual attention during revision difficult. A 1:1 IB tutor fills that gap, working on the specific units and assessment components where your child is losing marks.
The core components, TOK, the Extended Essay, and CAS, are areas where students frequently underestimate the time required. Early, structured support from a tutor who has guided students through these components before is the most direct way to protect the bonus points on offer.
Key takeaways
- IB DP covers six subjects plus TOK, EE, and CAS simultaneously.
- Internal assessments run alongside exam prep, requiring careful scheduling.
- TOK and EE contribute up to 3 bonus points to the final score.
- 1:1 tutoring targets the exact units and command terms where marks are lost.
- Starting support early in Year 11 protects IA grades as well as exam results.
