International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

The Gold Standard in IB Tutoring | Led by Pioneers in IB Education

Course Overview

At CourseLeap, we specialise in helping students excel in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) with expert, personalised tutoring.

The IBDP is a challenging two-year programme for students aged 16–19, combining academic depth, critical thinking, and global perspective. It includes six subject groups, Internal Assessments, final exams, and the IB Core—TOK, EE, and CAS. Recognised worldwide, it’s one of the most respected qualifications by top universities.

Common Challenges

Gaps in content and foundational learning
Difficulties with Math and Sciences
Confusion about IBDP Grading Criteria
Struggles with Research & IB Core
Anxiety around IBDP exams
Difficulty managing heavy workloads
Adjusting to independent learning

CourseLeap has pioneered IB support since 2016, when founder Yogesh Dhingra—former Director of Academics and Head of Mathematics at DAIS—identified the need for intensive, structured guidance into the IBDP. She introduced India’s first bridging programmes to ease the Grade 10–IBDP transition and prepare students for university and beyond.

It has been great confidence building and rediscovering my love for Maths learning from my IB Math tutor. Economics was a completely new subject for me and learning from my IB tutor made me understand the real world of economics. I became more detailed and confident with my research methodology and it made my transition from ICSE to IBDP smooth.

Their experience and knowledge with the subject and what examiners are looking for really boosted both my TOK IA and essay as well as my Economics EE. The teachers told me exactly what the examiners look for and their marking criteria, so I was able to tailor my assignments towards that and helped boost my overall score.

CourseLeap’s personalised Math IBDP tutoring has been super helpful and a huge confidence booster for me. It really made a difference in helping me do better and feel more sure of myself in my studies. Their clear and structured way of teaching, along with expert support, helped me understand things better and feel more prepared. I’d definitely recommend it to any student who needs that extra push to feel confident and do well.

My instructor is extremely knowledgeable about the subject and equally well-versed in the IB curriculum. She is completely up to date on the syllabus changes that took place this year. I was initially nervous about being part of the first cohort to take the exam under the updated syllabus, but my tutor has instilled me with confidence. I was behind on 77 hours worth of HL and SL content two months before the exam. My tutor spent time making a game plan with me, and we are not only done learning, but also almost done with all the revision (2 weeks before the exam). I could not be more grateful for her.

CourseLeap has been immensely supportive throughout my IBDP journey especially in mathematics, physics and Spanish, helping me to achieve success in this rigorous program. Additionally, they have assisted in preparing me for mathematics competitions such as CEMC Hypatia and the AP examinations. Mrs Dhingra’s tutelage helped my children at many levels. It built their fundamental understanding of math, taught them to think and apply themselves and overall increased their confidence in the subject dramatically. In a very short time both my children learnt a range of things to help improve their performance drastically. I would highly recommend Mrs. Dhingras’ courses for any student looking to excel in IB math.

I had a very good experience with CourseLeap. I found that the tutors were skilled in their respective fields, and very passionate about helping us improve and do our best. They knew the requirements of the curriculum very well and the techniques of exam preparation. I really enjoyed working with them.

CourseLeap provided invaluable support across my IB subjects like ; Theory of Knowledge, Business Management, Maths AI SL, Spanish Abinitio, and Psychology. Their hands-on teachers effectively clarified concepts, while rigorous practice sheets and homework boosted my grades allowing me to secure higher grade bands across subjects. Their dedicated doubt-solving sessions enriched my understanding across all subjects, allowing me to excel in my board exams.

"Course leap has helped me develop an affinity for math that I never knew I had.The personalised tutorials, and unique learning has helped me develop mathematical thinking that I believe will help me even at college. Even though I studied math AA SL, the rigour of math and the amount of practice we did was exceptional. I believe CourseLeap was the reason I got straight 7s throughout the 2 years of IB and could finally get into the college of my dreams."

*The course for IB Math AA HL went really well and it involved a lot of engaging activities on the topics we covered. There were sessions for doubt clarification and we were given a lot of practice through homework and the weekly tutorials. Overall I enjoyed the course a lot and have helped me immensely in my preparation for Math AA HL.
