Live IB Math group tutoring for students sitting the May 2027 exams. Each group has fixed dates, a published plan, and weekly practice that I mark myself.
Groups start inJanuary 2027
8 weekly sessions of 2 hours · Groups of 8 to 10 students · For students at grade 4 to 6 · Live on Zoom
There is one group for each IB Math course: AA HL, AA SL, AI HL and AI SL. Every group follows the same structure: 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours, 16 live hours in total, with weekly practice that I mark.

Group size
Each group opens once 8 students have joined, and takes up to 10.
These groups are for students currently working at, or predicted, a grade 4 to 6, who want to secure a 5, 6 or 7 in May 2027.
You are sitting AA or AI, at SL or HL, in May 2027.
Your current or predicted grade is 4, 5 or 6.
You have covered most of your course, but struggle with mixed or unfamiliar questions.
You can attend all eight weekly sessions and complete about an hour of practice each week.
Group tutoring or one-to-one?
If your current grade is below 4, if you need help with large parts of the course you haven’t studied yet, or if you need a flexible timetable, one-to-one tutoring will serve you better.
In a groupOne shared plan, fixed dates, and individual feedback on the set work.
One-to-oneA plan for your own needs, flexible times, and attention to every part of your work.
In bothTaught by me, with the same exam-focused methods.
2 hours on Zoom, with a short break: short explanations, worked questions, and time to try questions yourself while I look at your working.
2
Practice: 4 to 6 exam-style questions on that week’s topics, about an hour of work, due 48 hours before the next session.
3
My marking: brief written feedback on your score, your main error, and what to focus on next.
4
Shared corrections: the next session starts with the mistakes the group made most often.
You also receive written notes after each session, a progress report at the midpoint and at the end, and one final timed paper after session 8, which I mark. Parents can receive copies of the reports.
What you will practise
Choosing the right method when a question mixes several topics.
Writing complete, clearly set-out solutions that meet mark-scheme expectations.
Checking conditions, domains and restrictions before giving a final answer.
Using the GDC efficiently wherever it is allowed.
Managing your time on full exam-style questions.
Progress depends on your starting point, your attendance and the work you do between sessions. No grade is guaranteed.

How to join
1
Request a place using the form below. I reply by email straight away with the details and the fee.
2
When your group reaches 8 students, I email you the dates.
3
You complete a short diagnostic, so I can confirm your level is in the 4 to 6 range and that you have covered enough of the course.
4
You attend the first session.
Everyone in a group studies the same course and works at a similar level. I run two groups at a time, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, and groups open in the order they reach 8 students. If a group fills before January, it can start about two weeks later, with a two-week break over Christmas.
I specialise in IB Mathematics and teach every session myself. I’ve taught more than 7,000 IB Math lessons to students in over 40 countries, across AA and AI at both levels. In every session, the focus is on how you think through a question and how you set out your answer, not just the final result.
From my students and parents
Math AI HL
Mr. Abdulhamid has helped me achieve a level 7 in predicted grades in IB AI HL Mathematics. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, unravelling concepts logically and straightforwardly.
NikiHong Kong2024
Math AA SL
Abdulhamid is an outstanding teacher. His great command of mathematics means that he can instil confidence in his students by clarifying all their doubts and making them more and more independent. He also has a great knowledge of the IB programme.
MercuriItaly2023
Math AA HL
Abdulhamid is an AMAZING tutor! He is teaching my daughter for HL of IB math, and we are very happy! He explains well, very attentive, sends extra materials for practice.

Request a place for January 2027
Groups start in January 2027. Tell me your course, level and availability, and I’ll email you the details straight away, then the dates once your group reaches 8 students. A request isn’t a booking.
Questions and course policies
Levels, timings, payment and how the course runs.
Your current or predicted grade should be 4, 5 or 6, and you should have covered most of your course. The diagnostic confirms this before the first session.
Request a place anyway and choose “Neither” in the form. It shows me where demand is for other times.
You receive the session notes and that week’s practice, and I still mark your work. Sessions aren’t repeated individually.
No. You receive written notes after each session instead.
No. New students can’t join after the first session.
48 hours before the next session. Late work may not be marked in time.
Yes. Parents can receive the midpoint and final progress reports.
You tell me whether you’d like to continue. Your place in the group is confirmed once the course fee is paid, within 48 hours of the first session. If you decide not to continue, you don’t need to do anything.
Once the course fee is paid, it isn’t refundable, except where the law requires otherwise. If I cancel a group, you receive a full refund for any sessions not delivered.
By email only. I don’t use group chats.
Yes. If one-to-one suits you better, apply through my tutoring page.
