IB DP Maths & Physics Tuition in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad
Expert IB DP tuition in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. DP isn’t about covering the syllabus — it’s about building conceptual models, solving multi-step problems under pressure, and communicating reasoning precisely. AA & AI pathways, IA guidance included.
Sound Familiar?
Is This Your Child?
Understands the concept during class but can’t reproduce it independently on the exam
Knows techniques but panics on multi-step questions because they can’t identify which method to use
AA Paper 1 (no calculator) feels impossible — algebra and exact values are shaky
The IA (Internal Assessment / Exploration) feels overwhelming — doesn’t know how to start, what topic to choose, or what “good” looks like
Scored well in MYP but is now struggling because DP requires deeper, more rigorous reasoning
Our Method
How We Teach IB DP
DP success depends on three capabilities: conceptual models (you can explain WHY), multi-step problem solving (you can CHOOSE and LINK methods), and assessment literacy (you know what each paper demands and how to earn marks).
Our approach
Diagnostic → Bridge → Build
Many DP students struggle not because DP is too hard, but because MYP/IGCSE prerequisites aren’t automatic. We start with a diagnostic that tests prerequisite fluency — algebra, functions, trig, graph sense — and fix gaps before they compound.
Two-Mode Training (AA Students)
AA has two very different exam modes:
- •Paper 1 (no calculator): Pure algebraic fluency — exact values, proofs, clean manipulation
- •Paper 2/3 (technology required): Numerical methods, graph interpretation, modelling, efficient GDC use
We split practice accordingly. Paper 1 skills are drilled without technology. Paper 2/3 skills integrate GDC work.
AI-Specific Training
AI students always have technology available, but the trap is using the calculator as a replacement for explanation instead of as evidence. We train students to show reasoning and interpretation even when the GDC does the computation.
Weekly Routine
- •1 skills + fluency session (thin-sliced practice, one skill deep)
- •1 mixed practice session (interleaved problems from prior topics)
- •1 paper training session (timed exam-style questions + mark scheme habits)
- •1 investigation/modelling slot (fortnightly) — builds IA readiness AND Paper 2/3 thinking
The IA: Taught as a Skill, Not a Project
We run 2–3 mini-explorations before students choose their final topic. Each is 2–3 pages: aim, maths, reflection, communication. By the time they start their real IA, they know the structure, the criteria, and what Level 7 evidence looks like.
Checkpoint system for IA:
- Topic + personal motivation
- Clear aim / research question
- Mathematical plan
- First data/model attempt
- Draft for criteria-based feedback
- Final version
We give feedback using criteria language — not line-by-line rewriting. The work must be theirs.
DP Sciences
Physics (First Assessment 2025)
- Paper 1 (MCQ + data-based): 36%
- Paper 2 (short + extended response): 44%
- IA (scientific investigation): 20%
We train the “physics triangle” — students must move fluently between qualitative explanation (what’s happening), mathematical model (equations/relationships), and data/graphs (evidence + uncertainty).
Chemistry (First Assessment 2025)
- Paper 1A MCQ + 1B data-based: 36%
- Paper 2 short + extended response: 44%
- IA: 20%
Chemistry success requires translating between three representations: macroscopic (what you observe), submicroscopic (particles), and symbolic (equations/structures/calculations).
For Both Sciences
- •Weekly data-based drills (one graph/table + 3 questions)
- •Fortnightly extended-response practice (structured argument writing)
- •IA micro-skills taught throughout the course — not bolted on at the end
The Difference
What Makes Our IB DP Teaching Different
Whether your child takes AA or AI, SL or HL — we build the specific thinking each pathway requires. AA students need abstract proof skills and mathematical rigour. AI students need real-world modelling skills and technology fluency. Same subject name, different mathematical brains required. We also provide ethical IA guidance — topic selection, feedback on mathematical depth and presentation — while ensuring the work remains genuinely your child’s.
AA or AI — which should my child take? AA is for students who enjoy pure mathematical thinking — algebra, proof, calculus. AI is for students who prefer maths applied to real contexts — statistics, modelling, technology. AA HL is typically expected for engineering/physical sciences at university. AI SL is often sufficient for business/social sciences.
The IA is 20%. The Internal Assessment requires original mathematical exploration. Most students don’t know what “personal engagement” means in criterion terms — and lose marks they could easily earn. We teach IA as a structured skill from early in the course.
The MYP-to-DP jump is real. Students who coasted through MYP hit a wall in DP Year 1 — especially in calculus and proof-based topics. Our bridge module catches this before it becomes a crisis.
What We Fix
Common Gaps We Fix
Maths
- Algebra collapses under pressure — wrong signs, illegal cancellations, weak surd/log manipulation
- Calculus is mechanical — can differentiate but can’t interpret rate of change or set up models
- Mixed questions feel unfair — students haven’t practised linking topics
- Notation and exam language confusion — “hence” vs “show that,” domain restrictions, exact values
Physics
- Equation hunting instead of principle-based problem solving
- Weak graph literacy — gradient/area interpretation, linearisation
- Units, significant figures, uncertainty — marks lost even when the physics is right
- Practical skills are an afterthought (but IA is 20%)
Chemistry
- Can’t translate between observation → particle model → symbolic equation
- Stoichiometry workflows lack clear logic
- Data booklet usage is passive — students don’t practise locating and applying data efficiently
Day 1
The Diagnostic
For DP1 students: Diagnostic tests prerequisite skills — algebra, functions, trig, graph sense, basic calculus concepts. This tells us if the MYP/IGCSE foundation is ready for DP.
For DP2 students: Diagnostic also checks DP1 topic retention and identifies which areas need urgent revision before exams.
For Physics/Chemistry: Separate diagnostic covering mathematical skills for science + conceptual baselines.
45–60 minutes. Independent. Then we solve together.

FAQ
Common Questions from IB DP Parents
Quick answers to common questions.
AA is for students who enjoy pure mathematical thinking — algebra, proof, calculus. AI is for students who prefer maths applied to real contexts — statistics, modelling, technology. AA HL is typically expected for engineering/physical sciences at university. AI SL is often sufficient for business/social sciences. We can advise after the diagnostic.
Absolutely not. The IA must be the student’s own work — IB checks for authenticity. We teach IA skills (structure, criteria, mathematical depth), run mini-explorations for practice, provide criteria-based feedback on drafts, and prepare students for the viva. The thinking and writing must be theirs.
Yes. We prioritise by paper weightage — what carries the most marks and where your child can gain the most. For Maths, that often means intensive Calculus practice. For Physics/Chemistry, it means targeted data-based and extended-response training. The diagnostic tells us exactly where to focus.
Coaching typically starts with past papers. We start with understanding. We build conceptual models first, then train exam performance on top. Students who understand deeply perform better under pressure than students who only memorised solutions to past papers.
Predicted grades are set by your school. What we do is ensure your actual performance matches (or exceeds) what your teacher expects. Strong internal assessment results and consistent mock performance give your school confidence in predicting higher.
