IB DP Mathematics tutoring for Hong Kong students
IB DP Mathematics in Hong Kong is taught across one of Asia's strongest IB networks — HKIS, German Swiss International, Chinese International School (CIS), Yew Chung, Hong Kong Academy, ICS HK, French International, plus the ESF schools (Island, KGV, South Island, West Island, Sha Tin, Discovery, Renaissance). Most HK IB students take Maths AA HL (for Engineering / Physics / CS targets at HKU, HKUST, Imperial, MIT) or Maths AI for Business / Social Sciences. The Paper 3 problem-solving paper (HL only) is the biggest grade-lift opportunity — schools often run out of time on it, which is where one-to-one tutoring delivers most.
IB DP Mathematics — AA + AI, HL + SL explained
IB DP Mathematics is offered as two parallel programmes: Analysis & Approaches (AA) — pure, proof-led, leading to STEM and Maths-heavy degrees — and Applications & Interpretations (AI) — modelling-led, leaning into statistics, technology, and real-world data. Each programme runs at Higher Level (HL, 240 teaching hours) and Standard Level (SL, 150 hours). Most universities accept any of the four, but specific degrees (e.g. Maths, Physics, Engineering at top universities) typically require AA HL.
Higher Level (HL)
240 teaching hours · 3 papers · IA
HL Maths (both AA and AI) is three papers totalling 5 hours plus the Internal Assessment. Paper 1 (no calculator, AA only) tests pure technique. Paper 2 (calculator) tests application. Paper 3 (extended response, HL only) is a problem-solving deep-dive worth 20% of the final grade.
Standard Level (SL)
150 teaching hours · 2 papers · IA
SL Maths (both AA and AI) is two papers totalling 3 hours plus the Internal Assessment. Paper 1 is non-calculator for AA, calculator for AI. Paper 2 is calculator for both. No Paper 3 at SL.

Internal Assessment (IA)
The Mathematics Internal Assessment (IA) is a 12–20 page mathematical exploration worth 20% of the final grade. Students choose a topic, formulate a question, apply mathematical methods, and reflect on findings. Strong IAs make a real difference at the 6/7 boundary — our tutors coach the full IA cycle from topic selection through final draft.
Exam sessions
Two main IB exam sessions: May (Northern Hemisphere schools, the larger session) and November (Southern Hemisphere). Students sit all exams within a 2-3 week window. Re-takes are possible at the next session.
Grading on the IB 1–7 scale
IB grades each subject on a 1–7 scale. Final IB Diploma total is 45 points (6 subjects × 7 + 3 bonus points from TOK + Extended Essay). Grade 7 in HL Maths AA typically requires around 80% on the externals plus a strong IA score.
What we cover one-to-one
- ✓Number and algebra — sequences, series, logarithms, complex numbers (HL)
- ✓Functions — domain/range, transformations, modelling
- ✓Geometry and trigonometry — vectors (HL), 3D geometry
- ✓Statistics and probability — distributions, hypothesis testing, regression
- ✓Calculus — differentiation, integration, differential equations (HL)
- ✓Discrete mathematics and graph theory (AI HL only)
- ✓Proof — direct, by contradiction, by induction (AA HL)
- ✓IA support — topic ideation, mathematical exploration, reflection
Where IB DP Maths leads
- →Top universities globally — IB DP is the most widely recognised pre-university qualification, accepted in 90+ countries
- →STEM degrees — AA HL Maths is the gold standard for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Economics at top universities
- →Business and social science degrees — AI HL or AA SL is typically sufficient
- →Strong IB scores (38+) make competitive applications to Ivy League, Oxbridge, Imperial, NUS, NTU, McGill, UBC, Toronto

Which Hong Kong schools offer IB DP Mathematics?
HKIS, German Swiss International School, Chinese International School (CIS), Yew Chung International School, Hong Kong Academy, ICS HK, French International School, plus all senior ESF schools (Island, KGV, South Island, West Island, Sha Tin College, Discovery College, Renaissance College). The HK IB DP cohort is one of Asia's largest.
Should my child take Maths AA or AI in Hong Kong?
Maths AA is the proof-led, pure-mathematics route required by virtually all top-university Maths, Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science programmes — including HKU Engineering, HKUST Science, CUHK Maths, Imperial, MIT, NUS. Maths AI is modelling-led for Business, Social Sciences, Architecture. For STEM at competitive universities, AA (especially AA HL) is the universal choice.
Will the tutor coach Paper 3 (HL only)?
Yes — Paper 3 is the 1-hour extended-response problem-solving paper worth 20% of the HL Maths grade. Schools often run out of class time to drill it specifically. 8–12 focused Paper 3 sessions in the months before May exams typically lift 5–10 marks on this paper alone, often the difference between a 6 and a 7.
