Why IB MYP
Needs Criteria-Fluent Tutoring

The IB Middle Years Programme runs from Years 1 to 5 (ages 11–16) and uses a criteria-based assessment model unlike most school qualifications. Each subject is assessed against four criteria — A, B, C, and D — with specific descriptors at each achievement level. Understanding the criteria is not optional. It is the entire basis of the mark. A student who writes a technically correct answer but fails to address what the specific descriptor requires will not receive the marks their work deserves.

MYP tutoring requires a tutor who knows the MYP assessment framework specifically — criteria by subject group, task types, and Personal Project requirements in Year 5. Our MYP tutors understand the programme deeply — the criteria, the command terms, the task types, and what a strong response looks like at each achievement level. They do not adapt from IGCSE or A-Level knowledge.

We cover core MYP subject groups including Maths, Sciences, Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies, and Design and Computer Science. Personal Project support is available for Year 5. eAssessment preparation is covered for schools running moderated MYP.

We serve IB MYP students across all major IB school markets — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia, Singapore, Egypt, the UK. All sessions are online and scheduled around your school timetable and time zone.

Online 1-on-1, Years 1 to 5

MYP Maths tutor

Our MYP Maths tutors teach to all four criteria, A (knowing and understanding), B (investigating patterns), C (communicating) and D (applying maths in real-life contexts), across Years 1 to 5, so students earn marks for reasoning and process, not just the final answer.

MYP Physics tutor

MYP Physics sits in the Sciences group, assessed on criteria A to D including the Criterion B and C scientific investigation and the Criterion D reflection on science in context. We build the practical write-up and data-analysis skills the descriptors reward.

MYP English tutor

MYP English (Language and Literature) is graded on analysing, organising, producing text and using language. Our MYP English tutors train students to structure analytical and creative responses to the descriptors that separate a level 5 from a level 7.

All MYP online tutoring is 1-on-1 and scheduled around your child's timetable and time zone, matched to your school's MYP year, subject criteria and Personal Project deadlines. 💬 Check IB MYP Availability to start.

What Makes Velocity the Right Choice
for IB MYP Students

📋

Criteria-Fluent Tutors

MYP is assessed against A/B/C/D criteria with defined descriptors at each level. Our tutors know what distinguishes a level 5 from a level 7 in each subject — and train students to write to those descriptors, not just to the general content.

📄

Personal Project Support

The Year 5 Personal Project is assessed against five process criteria. We support students through goal-setting, process documentation, product development, and report writing — from early planning to final submission.

🌍

Every IB MYP Market Covered

IB MYP schools in Dubai, Singapore, Doha, London, Kuala Lumpur, Cairo and beyond. Sessions around your timetable and time zone — Years 1 through 5 throughout the programme.

📈

MYP to Diploma Transition

MYP Year 5 is the bridge to the IB Diploma Programme. Students who understand MYP criteria-based assessment deeply are better positioned for the DP. We support this transition explicitly for students moving into Year 12.

Struggling with the Personal Project
or MYP Assessment Criteria?

The MYP Personal Project is the most significant independent piece of work a student completes before the IB Diploma. Assessed against five criteria, many students struggle with the process journal requirements and how to document their learning in the way the IB expects. We support students through every stage — from initial goal-setting and product development to final report writing, ensuring the process journal reflects the depth the criteria require.

The broader MYP challenge is criterion fluency. Students often understand the subject content but not how to structure a response to meet a specific descriptor at level 5, 6, or 7. We build criterion awareness from the first session — teaching students to read the task, identify which criteria are being assessed, and write responses that explicitly address each descriptor.

For Year 4 and Year 5 students sitting MYP eAssessment, we provide structured preparation for the on-screen examination format and the specific task types used across subjects.

MYP Assessment Criteria —
What Each One Means for Tutoring

Every IB MYP subject is assessed against four criteria labelled A, B, C, and D — but the specific meaning of each criterion varies by subject group. A student who does not know which criterion a task is assessing, or what the descriptor at level 5 requires versus level 7, cannot write a response that earns full marks — regardless of how well they know the content.

Our MYP tutors build criterion awareness from the first session. We teach students to read a task, identify the criteria being assessed, and structure their response to explicitly meet each descriptor. This is the skill that separates a grade 5 response from a grade 7 — and it is learnable, precisely, with the right tutor.

Criterion A
Knowing and Understanding
Subject-specific knowledge, terminology, and conceptual understanding. The foundation — but not sufficient alone for a 7.
Criterion B
Investigating / Thinking
Varies by subject group — problem-solving in Maths, investigation skills in Science, inquiring in Humanities. Often the differentiating criterion.
Criterion C
Communication / Applying
How knowledge is expressed and communicated — mathematical notation, scientific write-up, structured argument. Form matters as much as content.
Criterion D
Reflection / Real-World
Connecting learning to the real world, reflecting on process, or evaluating in context. Often underweighted by students who focus only on content.

IB MYP vs Cambridge IGCSE —
Key Differences Explained

Many international schools offer both the IB MYP and Cambridge IGCSE pathways — or switch between them. Parents often ask what the differences are, and which requires specialist tutoring in different ways.

📋

Assessment Approach

IB MYP uses criteria-based assessment (A, B, C, D) with specific descriptor levels 1–8. Cambridge IGCSE uses mark schemes with point-based or levels-based marking. They reward different kinds of responses — and a student who knows one system well does not automatically know the other.

📚

Breadth and Subject Groups

IB MYP requires students to study across all subject groups — sciences, humanities, languages, maths, arts, and design. Cambridge IGCSE allows more subject choice flexibility. MYP produces more broadly educated students at Year 5; IGCSE allows earlier specialisation.

📄

External Examinations

Cambridge IGCSE is entirely externally examined. IB MYP is primarily internally assessed, with optional eAssessment at Year 4–5 for schools that choose moderated MYP. This makes the IA skills and criterion-writing ability more central to MYP performance.

🎓

Pathway to IB Diploma

Students who complete IB MYP Year 5 are well-positioned for the IB Diploma in Year 12, because the criteria-based assessment framework carries over directly. IB Diploma students who came through MYP tend to adapt to DP assessment more naturally than those who came through Cambridge CAIE IGCSE.

IB MYP Tutoring —
Frequently Asked

IB MYP tutoring means working with a specialist who knows the MYP criteria-based assessment framework — the A/B/C/D criteria per subject, descriptor levels 1–8, task types, and Personal Project requirements. Our MYP tutors train students to write to the specific descriptors that determine their grades, not just to cover the content.
IB MYP uses criteria-based assessment (A, B, C, D) with descriptor levels 1–8, and is primarily internally assessed. Cambridge IGCSE uses external examinations with mark schemes — either point-based or levels-based. They reward different kinds of responses. A student preparing for MYP needs tuition built around the MYP framework; a student preparing for IGCSE needs tuition built around the Cambridge or Edexcel mark scheme.
We cover all MYP subject groups: Maths, Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Systems), Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies (Economics, Geography, History), and Design and Computer Science. Personal Project support is available for all Year 5 students across any subject area.
Each IB MYP subject is assessed against four criteria (A, B, C, D), each scored on a scale of 0–8. The combined scores across all four criteria are then converted to a final subject grade from 1 to 7. A grade 7 in any subject requires high performance across all four criteria — not just strong content knowledge in Criterion A.
Yes. We support students through every stage of the Personal Project — goal-setting, process journal documentation, product development, and final report writing — ensuring the work meets all five assessment criteria at the level the student is targeting. Personal Project support can be booked independently from subject tutoring.
Neither is objectively harder — they are different systems. IB MYP requires students to study across all subject groups and develop internal assessment skills. Cambridge IGCSE is more exam-focused and allows more subject choice. Many students find the IB MYP grading system harder to navigate at first because criterion-based writing is a specific skill. Once a student understands how to write to the descriptors, performance improves quickly.
Yes. MYP Year 5 is the bridge to the IB Diploma Programme. Students who understand MYP criteria-based assessment are better positioned for DP assessment — the two frameworks share the same underlying logic. We support this transition explicitly and continue working with students into DP1 if needed.
Yes. Every new student begins with a free diagnostic trial. We assess current level, discuss the subject criteria and any Personal Project or eAssessment deadlines, and advise on the right approach — before any commitment is made. No obligation after the trial.
Yes. All MYP tutoring is delivered online and 1-on-1 with a specialist who knows the MYP criteria. Sessions are scheduled around your time zone and your school's MYP calendar, Years 1 to 5, covering Maths, Sciences, English and the Personal Project.
