IB tutors for Sharjah students

Because there are only a handful of IB Diploma schools in the emirate, a Sharjah student may have one teacher for a subject across both years. A tutor gives a second voice on the same syllabus, chosen for the subject and level rather than for whoever is free nearby.

IB Maths AA Tutor5 years' tutoring43/45 IB graduate

My name is Wojtek, I am from Poland but currently doing my Master's in Physics in Paris. I finished my IB in 2021, receiving 43 points overall, including 7 in Mathematics AA HL. Then I received my Bachelor's degree at École Polytechnique in 2025 in Physics and Mathematics. As a tutor I firstly make sure that a student understands well everything we are doing and I love explaining new concepts in as-simple-as-possible terms. Then, during the classes I try to encourage my students to tell me how they would solve the problems, trying to interfere as little as possible and never solving the problems myself. Sometimes we also work on past papers where I give all my advice for final exams, including the good timing practices and tips. Besides tutoring I enjoy running, fashion and, of course, Mathematics and Physics :))

IB in Sharjah

Sharjah IB schools we support students from

Sharjah's IB community is small: 4 schools are confirmed to teach the Diploma, and each reaches it from a different starting curriculum. Victoria International School in Al Taawun, near the Dubai border, and the Australian International School on the Maliha Road both come from Australian schooling; American Gulf School in Al Rahmaniya has offered the IB since December 2023 alongside an American pathway; and the German International School in Al Abar has taught a bilingual, mixed-language Diploma since 2014.

With so few schools, students often know their whole IB cohort, and the jump into Diploma assessment can feel sudden for those arriving from another system; our parent guide to DP1 struggles covers the signs to watch for. All four schools are inspected by SPEA, the Sharjah Private Education Authority, rather than Dubai's KHDA. A fifth, the Emirates National School branch in Al Rahmaniya, is left off this list until its Diploma status is confirmed.

Sharjah schools teaching the IB Diploma

  • Australian International School, Sharjah Maliha Road (Industrial Area 18 / University City side)
  • Victoria International School of Sharjah (VISS) Al Taawun
  • American Gulf School (AGS) Al Rahmaniya
  • German International School Sharjah (Deutsche Internationale Schule Sharjah) Al Abar (Halwan)
University City

Getting into AUS and the University of Sharjah with the IB

The American University of Sharjah asks Diploma students for 24 points as a guideline and at least three Higher Level subjects, with Islamic Education not counted among the six. A student with only two HL subjects may meet the points but not the structure.

Each AUS college adds its own subjects: Engineering wants Maths and Physics, with Physics taken by Grade 11 and ideally continued into Grade 12; Business asks for Maths; the sciences, computer science, architecture and interior design ask for Maths plus a science. Our guide to choosing between IB Maths courses helps with the maths choice, and a tutor in Maths AI or AA can talk it through.

The University of Sharjah, next door in University City, publishes no IB-specific figure (see its admission FAQs); it converts IB results with its own criteria and sets minimum averages from 70% upwards by major. Many students apply to both and treat one as a safety choice.

Bilingual and certificate routes

Students at the German International School can earn the IB's bilingual Diploma, taught across two languages, which suits students who may later study in Germany or elsewhere in Europe.

Students taking IB courses without the full Diploma can still apply to AUS, which then asks for six subjects at grade 4 or above and at least 29 points in total. For UAE equivalency those six must include English, Maths and a science, and Muslim and Arab students also need Islamic Studies and Arabic through Grades 10 to 12.

Interactive tutoring platform

Lessons that skip the Sharjah–Dubai drive

Whether your child studies in Al Taawun or crosses into Dubai for school, lessons start at home the moment the laptop opens. Each session is recorded on Lanterna's platform for revision before mocks, shared files and past papers sit beside it, and an advisor sends parents regular updates.

Reviews

Reviews from IB students and parents

Grade 1 to 4
“She was really knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Her tutoring style was great because it‚Äôs was active recall and she always gave me practice questions which were very helpful. Sue was also very patient and provided me with a lot of informational sheets and helpful descriptions.”
Emily C., student International School of Schaffhausen · Class of 2025 · Chemistry
“His teaching style is well structured and makes it easier for students who may be struggling. He is very organised and uses a variety of learning methods, such as past papers and textbook questions, which cover each topic in the curriculum and can help students solve IB-style questions and become familiar with the exams.”

FAQs

Questions from Sharjah families

How do I find an IB tutor in Sharjah?

With only four schools confirmed to teach the Diploma in Sharjah, the practical answer is an online specialist, and Lanterna matches one to your child after a free consultation. Whether your child is at Victoria International School in Al Taawun, the Australian International School on the Maliha Road, American Gulf School or the German International School, the tutor is chosen for the subject and level, and lessons take place at home in the evening on Gulf time.

Can an online IB tutor work around a Sharjah school day and Ramadan hours?

Yes. Sharjah schools set their own calendars under SPEA, so the tutor plans around the term dates your school publishes rather than Dubai's, with sessions after school, in the evening or at weekends. When Ramadan begins, expected around 8 February 2027 and overlapping the weeks after DP2 mocks, lessons typically move to after iftar and back again after Eid al-Fitr.

My child goes to school in Dubai but we live in Sharjah. Which page is for us?

Either works, because the tutors and lessons are the same. Our Dubai page covers the schools and term dates on the other side of the border; this page covers Sharjah's own schools and universities. Online lessons mean the commute plays no part in which tutor you choose.

Can IB tutoring help my child reach the AUS entry requirements?

It can, provided the plan is built around what AUS checks: a Diploma of at least 24 points as a guideline, three subjects at Higher Level, and Maths plus Physics for engineering. A Lanterna tutor in IB Maths or Physics works from the student's current predicted grades towards those subject targets, and the consultation is where we say honestly how far there is to go.

Do we need a tutor who is based in Sharjah?

No. A tutor chosen for living nearby is unlikely to be a specialist in every Higher Level subject your child takes, whereas Lanterna's tutors teach online, so a Sharjah student can work with a Chemistry specialist with examiner experience or an experienced TOK teacher wherever they are based, with each lesson recorded for revision before mocks.

How much do lessons cost for a Sharjah student?

From £58 (~285 AED) an hour, set by the kind of tutor (IB graduate, teacher or specialist with examiner experience) and the number of hours you book. The full list of prices and packages is on our main site, and the free consultation will point you to the right one.
