Multiple-choice questions across the course. We practice reading each question and its options carefully, and using your calculator when a question needs it.
Data-based questions on experimental work. We practice reading tables and graphs, spotting what the data show and answering in clear scientific language.
Data-based, short-answer and extended-response questions. We build well-organized answers that use the right biological terms and make the reasoning easy to follow.
The scientific investigation: a research question you formulate yourself and a written report. Your teacher supports each stage, and the work stays yours.
Many tutoring services rely on college students. Our teachers have several years of experience teaching their subject in an IB classroom, have been through exam sessions and have delivered and marked IB assessments.
Lessons prepare you for every part of the course: Paper 1, Paper 2 and the Internal Assessment.
A fixed weekly slot with one teacher, so you build a working relationship and can ask the question you would not ask in class.
Lessons follow what you are learning at school, delivered on Lessonspace, an interactive online classroom.
A message from our founder
I started MYP Math Tutor in 2022 to help students understand what the IB is really asking of them. DP Biology Tutor is part of the same family, with the same approach, for a course where that question matters just as much.
DP biology asks a lot of you. It is a wide course, there is data to read and interpret, and in the Internal Assessment you plan and write up an investigation of your own. These are skills that come with practice, and one-to-one time is where that practice is easiest.
What makes the difference? One-to-one support from a teacher who has taught the subject in an IB classroom, with room to ask the question you would not ask in front of the class.
The outcome? A student who knows what good work looks like in biology, and has the confidence to produce it. We never promise a grade.
If you would like to talk it through first, we are glad to chat.
Rachel Bodily, M.EdFounder, DP Biology Tutor
Both DP biology courses: Biology at Standard Level (SL) and Biology at Higher Level (HL), including the Internal Assessment.
Lessons follow what you are learning at school, at SL or HL. Your teacher checks what you already know, explains new topics until they make sense and practices the kinds of question you will meet in the exam papers, including reading and interpreting data. When the time comes, lessons also support the Internal Assessment.
Yes. The Internal Assessment (IA) in DP biology is a scientific investigation: you formulate your own research question, carry out the investigation and write it up. The IB recommends about 10 hours of course time for it. Your teacher can help you choose a workable question, plan the method, handle and present your data, and think about your conclusion and how the method could be better. The work must be your own, so we guide the process and never write it for you.
Both levels teach the same four themes, and HL goes further. The IB recommends 150 teaching hours for SL and 240 for HL, and HL adds topics such as viruses and gene expression, with extra depth in many others. The exam papers are also longer at HL. Which level you take is decided with your school.
There are two papers at each level. Paper 1 is sat in one sitting and has two parts: 1A is multiple-choice and 1B is data-based questions on experimental work. Paper 2 mixes data-based, short-answer and extended-response questions. At SL, each paper lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. At HL, Paper 1 lasts 2 hours and Paper 2 lasts 2 hours 30 minutes. Your teacher can plan practice for each part with you.
