There's no shortage of online tutoring platforms. Here's what makes Tychr genuinely different, and why it matters for your grades.
Every Tychr tutor is matched by subject, exam board, and level. Your IB HL Chemistry tutor has passed IB HL Chemistry; your Edexcel A-Level Maths tutor knows Edexcel's mark scheme, command terms, and past paper patterns intimately.
We recruit tutors who personally achieved top marks, IB 7s, A* grades, AP 5s, SAT 1550+. They know not just what the content is, but how they personally mastered it.
Tutors assess your specific gaps in the first session and build every subsequent lesson around those, not a generic weekly curriculum.
Our tutoring is built backwards from your exam. Every topic, problem, and past paper is selected because it's likely to appear on your paper and you need to answer it under exam conditions.
Our tutors coordinate with our admissions counsellors so strong academic performance is one integrated part of a compelling university application.
Interactive whiteboards, session recordings, shared resources, and progress dashboards mean every session is productive, documented, and reviewable.
Tychr tutors cover every subject across all major international curricula, at every level from IGCSE through to university entrance.
Full Diploma Programme, MYP, and PYP support. All subjects at both HL and SL. Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and Internal Assessment coaching.
Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Environmental Science, History, Geography, Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Politics.
English (Language & Literature), Economics, French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Business Studies, Accounting.
From IB MYP to the full Diploma Programme, Tychr's IB specialists help students achieve 7s, master Internal Assessments, and write Extended Essays that earn maximum marks.
Our IB tutoring team includes over 20 past and current IB examiners who have achieved top scores and gone on to study at the world's best universities.
Group 1 Language A · Group 2 Language B & ab initio (French, Spanish, German, Mandarin) · Group 3 Individuals & Societies (History, Geography, Economics, Psychology, Business Management, ESS, Philosophy, Global Politics) · Group 4 Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, ESS) · Group 5 Mathematics AA & AI, HL and SL.
IAs contribute 20–30% of the final IB grade in most subjects. Structured IA coaching from topic selection and research question development through to final write-up, for every Group 4 and Group 3 subject.
The 4,000-word Extended Essay is a direct equivalent of university-level independent research. Tutors help choose a focused research question, structure the argument, navigate research, and revise toward the top mark band.
The TOK Exhibition and Essay require abstract, philosophical, self-aware thinking. Specialists help students understand assessment criteria and develop original, examiner-rewarded arguments.
Support for younger IB students in the Middle Years and Primary Years Programmes, building the study habits and conceptual understanding that make the DP transition seamless.
For students progressing to A-Levels, the IB Diploma, or AP, strong IGCSE results set the academic foundation — and give the first signal of academic potential to universities.
The most common IGCSE performance issues aren't about understanding content — they're exam technique. Tychr tutors drill command words and mark-scheme-matched answer structure explicitly from the earliest sessions.
Cambridge IGCSE, all subjects, taught to CIE's mark scheme and grade boundaries.
Mathematics · Extended & Additional Mathematics · English Language & Literature · Biology · Chemistry · Physics · Combined Science · History · Geography · Economics · Business Studies · Computer Science · French · Spanish · German · Arabic · Mandarin.
A strong AP record sends a powerful message to US college admissions committees. Our tutors combine subject knowledge with AP-specific exam technique for every free-response format.
AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 1 & 2, AP Physics C (Mechanics & E&M), AP Environmental Science, AP Computer Science A & Principles.
Real score gains, not just practice tests. We start with a diagnostic to identify your specific error patterns, then build a targeted curriculum around them.
For students applying to Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, LSE, and the Russell Group, predicted A-Level grades are one of the most heavily weighted factors in the entire application.
For students targeting Oxford, Cambridge, or other highly selective UK universities, tutors work explicitly toward the predicted grade before prediction deadlines, so the UCAS application reflects genuine potential.
Deep knowledge of Cambridge's tiered papers, mark scheme language, and data-response formats.
Sciences: Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Environmental Science. Humanities: History, Geography, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Politics. English & Languages, Business Studies, Accounting.
Built differently, from the ground up, to be the most productive hour of your academic week — not passive, generic, or forgettable.
Tutor preparation: your tutor reviews previous session notes, recent results, and your learning plan before every session.
Student preparation: a short brief — topic focus, prep problems, and the session goal — so no time is wasted at the start.
Subject specialists, curriculum experts, and top academic performers, selected through a rigorous recruitment process.
Our tutoring team includes university students, postgraduate researchers, and qualified teachers from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, LSE, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, NUS, and more — many current students at the very institutions your child is applying to.
Every tutor must have achieved top marks in the subject they teach — a 7 in IB HL, an A* at A-Level, a 5 on the relevant AP exam, or equivalent. No exceptions.
We test every tutor on the specific exam board's syllabus, mark scheme, and assessment structure. Subject knowledge alone isn't enough.
Every prospective tutor completes a trial teaching session assessed by our senior education team. Less than 20% of applicants pass this stage.
Student feedback, grade progression data, and regular session reviews ensure quality is maintained and any struggling student is reassigned quickly.
It's easy to claim results. Tychr backs ours with data, student feedback, and transparent reporting.
Results vary by starting level, frequency of sessions, and student effort. Data based on Tychr student cohort averages.
Tutor-subject match quality, session frequency (2+ sessions per week improves fastest), and past paper practice integrated into every session, not saved for exam season.
Tychr's online tutoring works around your life, your school schedule, your time zone, and your exam timeline.
Tutors available across every major global time zone, including weekends and school holidays.
Book through the portal or directly with your tutor. Need to shift a session? Reschedule instantly.
Increase frequency as exams approach, reduce it during less pressured periods.
No commuting, no waiting rooms — just your tutor, your subject, your learning.
A private session focused entirely on your specific needs, gaps, and exam targets. Best for targeted weaknesses, complex learning profiles, and critical exams where every session must count.
Structured sessions with 2–5 students at the same level. Best for peer discussion, cost-effectiveness, core curriculum content, and shared revision groups.
For most students targeting significant grade improvement or highly competitive university outcomes, 1-on-1 tutoring delivers faster, more consistent results. Many students use both — group sessions for content review, individual sessions for targeted exam technique.
A full, structured, productive session with a tutor matched to your subject, curriculum, and exam board. Not a sales call.
We match you with the tutor most suited to your subject, exam board, and specific learning needs — not whoever is available.
10–15 minutes of targeted questions to identify your specific strengths and gaps, giving both you and your tutor a clear picture of where to focus.
Your tutor works with you on a specific topic, demonstrating their teaching approach and ability to adapt to your level in real time.
Your tutor outlines a recommended learning plan — what they'd focus on, at what frequency, and with what expected outcomes.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what students from around the world say about Tychr.
Before Tychr I was getting a 4 in HL Maths and I genuinely thought it just wasn't a subject I could do well in. My tutor helped me understand why I kept making specific mistakes. I finished the year with a 7.

How did the homework go? What came up in class this week? Every session builds directly on the last.
Your tutor explains and illustrates via the whiteboard, pacing to your visible signs of confusion.
You attempt problems while your tutor intervenes precisely at moments of hesitation, asking guiding questions rather than giving answers.

Real-time visibility into academic development at every stage, not just the next school report months later.
For monthly subscription students, a written report each month covers performance by topic, ongoing difficulty areas, and the plan ahead. For admissions-focused students, tutors provide periodic predicted grade assessments aligned to school mock cycles.
The weeks immediately before a major exam call for a shift: away from new content, toward strategic revision, past paper mastery, and mark scheme alignment.
A full-length mock under timed conditions gives an accurate baseline — which topics are secure, which are fragile, where time pressure creates errors.
A ranked list of topics by exam probability and student weakness, so every revision hour targets the highest-value areas.
Intensive timed practice with immediate, mark-scheme-aligned feedback — typically six to twelve full past papers per subject.
Tutors work through official mark schemes explicitly, identifying the language and structure that consistently earns maximum marks.
For A-Level students, Tychr coordinates timing with school mock exams so performance peaks when teachers make predictions.
Coursework, IAs, and extended essays can make or break your final grade — and are some of the least well-supported by standard classroom teaching.

At the Ivy League level, tutoring for grades and counselling for admissions are two interconnected parts of the same challenge. Tychr is one of the only platforms offering both, fully integrated.
Tutors work explicitly toward the grade teachers will predict, so by prediction season your performance reflects your true potential.
Strong IB predicted scores and AP results strengthen, rather than undercut, applications to Harvard, MIT, Yale, and other top US institutions.
Test prep is coordinated with admissions counsellors so timing, scoring, and strategy align with the broader application calendar.
A fascinating IA topic or a challenging problem worked through in tutorials provides compelling material for college essays and personal statements.
Tychr serves students in 70+ countries, no compromise on tutor quality, no impossible scheduling.
Exam season intensives (IB April–May, A-Level May–June, AP May, SAT dates) bring expanded availability for daily sessions.

A targeted 30–45 minute set of questions maps current understanding across every major syllabus topic.
Your tutor combines diagnostic results with recent test scores and teacher feedback into a ranked gap analysis by exam probability and severity.
A structured, topic-sequenced plan that fills high-priority gaps first, revisits foundations, and builds toward full-syllabus confidence.
After every mock or assessed piece of work, the plan is reviewed — shifting from remediation to exam technique to full past paper practice.
