IB Biology tutor matching
Request a tutor matched to IB Biology at Standard or Higher Level -- from cell biology and genetics to ecology and human physiology.
IB Biology: connect concepts across the organising themes
Name your level, assessment session and the concept you want to explain. Current IB Biology is organised around unity and diversity, form and function, interaction and interdependence, and continuity and change. A topic can connect molecular ideas with whole organisms or ecosystems, so include the scale and context of the question.
A method to practise
- Scientific explanations: trace the causal steps between a biological structure, process and consequence.
- Data-based questions: describe a pattern with evidence before proposing a mechanism; correlation alone is not proof of causation.
- Investigations: distinguish repeats, sample size, controls and uncertainty, and discuss limitations without overstating conclusions.
Original worked illustration
Two plant groups differ in both light intensity and water supply. One group grows faster. Can you attribute the difference only to light?
- No: light and water supply both changed between groups.
- Water is a confounding variable, so the comparison does not isolate light's effect.
- A revised investigation would control water supply while varying light, with suitable replication.
Common mistake to avoid
An unsupported conclusion is not strengthened by adding more biological terminology. Use the evidence and acknowledge what it cannot establish. Free practice is available; individual matching currently remains adults-only.

Details that make matching sharper
Level and paper
Tell us whether you study SL, HL, Core, or Extended, and name the paper or exam component if you know it.
Exact topics
List the exact chapters or skills inside IB Biology, not only the broad subject name.
A recent question
Share a recent question or repeated mistake so we know what kind of explanation is needed.
Timing and goal

Frequently asked questions
Requesting a IB Biology tutor
Do you guarantee a IB Biology tutor is immediately available?
No. Availability depends on which approved teachers currently exist and their schedules. We review your request and tell you clearly if a suitable match cannot be found.
Can I practise for free before requesting a tutor?
Yes. Check the free practice question bank first, then request a tutor if you need extra help on specific topics.
How am I matched with a teacher?
Operations manually reviews your request before proposing any teacher. There is no automatic proposal without human review.
