IB Tutors in Germany — Diploma specialists for HL, SL, the IA, the EE and TOK

Germany has 76 schools authorised to teach the IB Diploma and very little tutoring built around what the Diploma actually marks. We assign a specialist for your child's exact subjects and levels — at home or online for the same price, from €68 an hour with no VAT added, refundable in full if a session falls short.

IB tutors in Germany, at a glance

In short

Rundil assigns a Diploma Programme specialist for your child's exact IB subjects — HL, SL, the Internal Assessment, Extended Essay and TOK — usually in 48 to 72 hours, from €68 an hour, no contract, no VAT added. 95% of the students who joined us before September achieved their target grades by May.

The IB market in Germany splits into two unhelpful halves. The premium international agencies charge €60 to €150 an hour, teach online only and cannot touch the German side of the question your family is actually asking. The German Nachhilfe chains and subscription platforms are cheaper, but sell 45 or 50-minute units on six, twelve and twenty-four-month agreements and have almost no Diploma depth — criterion strands, command terms and Internal Assessment moderation are simply not what they are built for. We do both halves: the Diploma your child sits, and the German system it will be converted into.

Why IB families choose Rundil

Why Diploma families in Germany choose Rundil

The IB is not a syllabus you can revise your way through by knowing more content. It is an assessment system: every mark on every paper is awarded against a published markband, a command term or a criterion strand, and a candidate who writes a beautiful answer to a question the examiner did not ask still scores four. That is why "a good maths tutor" so often changes nothing, and why the parents who ring us in February are usually two terms late. Our tutors are assigned to a subject and a level, they have marked to the strands the school is moderating against, and they read the Internal Assessment before it is submitted rather than after the grade comes back.

EnglishDeutsch
IB tutor in Germany teaching a Diploma Programme student one to one at home

Assigned by subject and level

Not "an IB tutor". A Chemistry HL tutor, or a Maths AI SL tutor, or someone who has supervised twenty Extended Essays in History. Tell us the subject, the level and the school, and we assign the specialist — typically within 48 to 72 hours.

Refundable, every session

If a session falls short, the student asks and we refund it in full. Not a paid trial lesson, not a thirty-day window that closes long before the IA deadlines arrive — any session, all the way to the May papers.

At the kitchen table, or on screen

The international IB agencies are online only. We teach in your home in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart at exactly the same rate as online — €58, €68 or €83 either way, switchable any week.

We know the German end of it

The IB agencies stop at the Diploma. Your child's 38 points has to become a German grade, sit in a Numerus Clausus ranking and satisfy a KMK subject-combination rule decided back in Year 11. We work in both worlds, which is the whole reason families here call us.

The people who teach

Four of the tutors who teach for us in Germany

A sample, not the roster. You are not choosing from these four — they are here so you can see the standard we assign to. Each covers a narrow set of IB subjects properly rather than five approximately, and each teaches at home in their own city and online anywhere in Germany, at exactly the same rate.

Daniel Okafor is an experienced Business and Economics tutor with a Master's degree in International Economics and a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration.

Katharina Hoffmann, IB Language A German and English tutor in Hamburg — Rundil IB tutors Germany

Katharina Hoffmann

IB Language A — German & English, plus History · Hamburg

MEd German & English · Gymnasium Oberstufe experience · at-home in Hamburg, online across Germany

Katharina Hoffmann specialises in the written and spoken work at the heart of Group 1, with particular expertise in German, English and History. She holds a Master of Education in German and English and has several years of experience supporting senior students through their final two years. Katharina helps students improve literary analysis, essay structure, source evaluation and written argumentation — the guided literary analysis, the comparative essay and the individual oral all reward the same disciplined reading, and most candidates lose marks on structure rather than on insight. She also supports oral examination preparation, presentation skills and the development of effective revision plans, and she is a steady pair of hands on the Extended Essay in Group 1 and History. Her teaching is precise, supportive and closely aligned with what examiners expect from high-level responses. Available for at-home tutoring in Hamburg and online lessons throughout Germany.

Read full profile

Anna, Daniel, James and Katharina are four of the tutors teaching for us in Germany — shown so you can see the standard, not so you can pick from a shortlist. The right tutor for your child may well be none of them. Every tutor is individually interviewed, background-checked and assigned only to the curricula they actually teach, and you are never asked to browse profiles and guess: tell us the subject, the level, the school and the year group, and we assign the specialist, typically within 48 to 72 hours. At-home and online sessions cost exactly the same, and you can switch between them at any time.

The Rundil difference

Every session is refundable. Every single one.

In IB tutoring the standard reassurance is a discounted first lesson, or a thirty-day window that has closed by the time the first Internal Assessment draft comes back marked. Ours never closes. If a session falls short in the middle of the IA season, or three weeks before the May papers, the student asks and it is refunded in full — no conditions, no approval, no awkward conversation with the tutor.

95%
of students who joined us before September achieved their target grades by May — in Germany and Switzerland alike. For a Diploma candidate that September is not a marketing detail: it is the last point at which the IA calendar, the Extended Essay and two years of subject content can still be planned rather than rescued.
No conditions, no trial-only window
The guarantee covers every session through both Diploma years, not a discounted first lesson.
Reassignment without friction
Wrong fit, or the wrong level? We assign a different specialist. You never have to tell the tutor yourself.
Free cancellation until 17:00

What happens in an IB tutoring session

Ninety real minutes, built around the thing the IB actually marks. Whether it is a Physics HL paper 2, a Business Management case study or the evaluation section of a Chemistry IA, the shape is the same: find where the marks are being lost against the published criteria, rebuild it, then prove it on a real question under real timing.

IB tutor in Germany marking an Internal Assessment draft with a Diploma Programme student

Diagnose

  • Read the last mocks against the markbands, not the total
  • Separate a content gap from a command-term gap
  • Check the subject guide for that level, not the other one
  • Map the IA and EE deadlines the school has actually set

Teach

  • Rebuild the concept from the point it broke
  • Teach evaluate, justify, discuss and analyse as separate jobs
  • Work in the student's stronger language where it helps
  • Leave notes structured the way the criteria are structured

Prove it

  • Past-paper questions at the right level and paper number
  • Marked strand by strand, with the band said out loud
  • Timed, because paper 1 punishes hesitation more than gaps
  • Student answers one unaided before the session ends
The system around the Diploma

The German school system, decoded for IB families

Your child sits the IB, not the Abitur — but the German system still sets the frame around it, and it moved again for 2026. These are the four points where the two worlds touch, and what each one means when the family in question is a Diploma family.

StageWhenWhat it actually isWhat it means for an IB family
AbiturThe benchmarkEnds grade 12 (G8) or 13 (G9)A 900-point Gesamtqualifikation: up to 600 points from Qualifikationsphase coursework across Leistungs- and Grundkurse, and up to 300 from four final examinations. Every Bundesland writes its own papers, drawing on the KMK's shared Aufgabenpool.This is the qualification your child's Diploma is converted against for university entry. Recognition is by conversion under a KMK rule set, never by simple equivalence.
ÜbertrittAfter grade 4 — grade 6 in Berlin and BrandenburgA grade average, sometimes binding. Bavaria requires 2.33 or better across Deutsch, Mathematik and Heimat- und Sachunterricht; miss it and the three-day Probeunterricht in May decides, passed on a 3 and a 4.Relevant the moment a younger sibling enters the state system while the elder sits the Diploma. It is a common split in relocating families, and we prepare both children.
MSAEnd of grade 10Written examinations in Deutsch, Mathematik and Englisch plus oral components, with the format set by each Land. The gateway to the Fachoberschule and the Fachhochschulreife route.Several international schools in Germany award the Mittlerer Schulabschluss alongside IGCSE or the MYP before the Diploma begins. It is a real German qualification and worth keeping.
G8 vs G9Varies by state, from 2026Bavaria's first regular G9 cohort sits the Abitur in 2026. North Rhine-Westphalia's first G9 Abitur follows in 2027. Rhineland-Palatinate runs parallel G8 and G9 tracks with different written-exam windows. Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia keep twelve-year structures.The reason a mid-Diploma transfer into a German Gymnasium rarely lands in the year group families expect. Ask before you move, not after.
Twelve consecutive school years is a KMK condition, not a formality. Germany requires twelve consecutive years of schooling behind the Diploma for general university entrance, which is exactly what a repeated year, a gap in an international move or an unusual grade placement can quietly disturb. Berlin also applies a rule from the 2026 school year for direct Gymnasium entry: a pupil may not exceed 14 grade points combined across German, Mathematics and the first foreign language. Send us the school and year group on WhatsApp and we will tell you which rule set applies before you book anything.
The six groups & the core

Every IB subject we tutor — all six groups, HL and SL

A Diploma candidate takes one subject from each of the first five groups, a sixth from Group 6 or a second subject from Groups 1 to 4, three or four of them at Higher Level — then carries the core on top. Tutors are assigned to the subject and the level, because Maths AA HL and Maths AI SL are not the same job and never have been.

The assessment spine

How the Diploma is actually marked

Almost every point a candidate loses is lost in one of these eight places. This is the table no IB agency publishes, because it makes very clear where tutoring earns its money and where it does not.

ComponentWhat it isWhere points go missingWhat a tutor can do about it
HL and SLSix subjects, one from each of Groups 1 to 5 plus a sixth; three or four taken at Higher Level, graded 1 to 7. Forty-two subject points in total.Choosing four Higher Levels to look ambitious, then carrying two of them at a 4. Or taking a Higher Level a year after the class has already built the foundation.Honest advice on the load before it is locked in, then depth on the two Higher Levels that are genuinely load-bearing.
Internal AssessmentBiggest leverCoursework marked by the teacher and moderated by the IB. It carries roughly a fifth to a third of the subject grade depending on the subject and level.A research question that cannot be answered in the word count, thin evaluation, and a first draft written in the week it is due.Shape the question early, work strand by strand against the criteria, and rehearse the evaluation section that most candidates leave until last.
Written papersTwo or three externally marked papers per subject, sat in the May session, each testing a different skill rather than a different topic.Reading "evaluate" as "describe". Running out of time on paper 1 and losing marks that were never about knowledge.Timed past papers at the correct level, marked against the real markscheme, with the command term named out loud every time.
Extended EssayAn independent 4,000-word research essay in one subject, supervised by a school teacher and graded A to E.A question that is too broad to argue, a supervisor with forty other candidates, and a February in which nothing gets written.Narrow the question, build the argument structure, and hold the student to a realistic drafting calendar. We support; the school supervises.
Theory of KnowledgeThe TOK exhibition plus a 1,600-word essay on a prescribed title, graded A to E.Treating it as philosophy homework. TOK is the component most often left to drift, and it is half of the bonus points.Unpack the prescribed title, find real knowledge examples from the student's own subjects, and get the essay argued rather than summarised.
EE and TOK togetherThe two core grades combine on a matrix worth up to 3 bonus points on top of the 42 subject points — 45 in total.An E in either component is a failing condition for the whole Diploma, no matter how strong the six subject grades are.Treat the core as points, not as admin. Three points is a full German grade band once the score is converted.
CASCreativity, Activity, Service — a portfolio with reflections and one substantial project, running across both Diploma years.It scores nothing, so it is postponed — and then it becomes the reason a completed Diploma is not awarded.Not a tutoring subject. We flag it in the planning session and keep it on the family's calendar, because unfinished CAS is a genuine risk.
Predicted gradesThe school's forecast of each subject grade, submitted to the IB and used by universities for conditional offers.They are set on mock performance in DP1 and early DP2 — long before most families think the exam year has begun.This is the argument for starting in the autumn. Work that lifts a mock in November changes the predicted grade the offers are built on.
Where the honest boundary sits. Rundil tutors teach, question, model and mark. They do not write Internal Assessments or Extended Essays, they do not supply text for a student to submit, and they will tell you plainly if what you are asking for crosses the IB's academic integrity rules. Everything we do is designed to survive the declaration your child signs.
The real cost

Rundil versus the IB alternatives in Germany

These are the providers an IB family in Germany actually shortlists against us. Every rate is normalised to a full 60 minutes from each provider's own published pricing, because almost nobody in this market quotes an hour — and the headline number is rarely what leaves your account.

And the revision courses and marketplaces? Lanterna, IB First and ++tutors sell strong IB material and intensive revision weeks, usually online and usually as a package bought in the spring. They are a useful supplement and a poor substitute: a February course cannot rescue an Internal Assessment that was submitted in January. Superprof and Nachhilfeunterricht.de, at roughly €13–30 an hour, sell you a contact detail — you vet the tutor, you verify that "IB experience" means Higher Level, you chase the no-shows. Cheaper per hour is not cheaper per point — ten hours with someone who has never marked a Group 4 investigation against the criteria costs less than six with someone who has, right up until 6 July. We would rather sell you fewer, better hours, which is exactly why every one of ours is refundable.

Competitor figures are those providers' own published rates as at July 2026, converted to a 60-minute hour for comparison. They are directional benchmarks, not quotes — check each provider's current pricing before you decide.

Nothing hidden

The charges you will not find on a Rundil invoice

The headline hourly rate in IB tutoring is rarely the amount that leaves your account. These are the extras that commonly sit around it in the German market — and what each one costs with us.

ChargeCommon in the German marketWith Rundil
VAT / UmsatzsteuerShould not apply to tutoring — but always check the invoiceNone. €58 / €68 / €83 is the final rate
Registration fee (Anmeldegebühr)Charged as a one-off by several national chainsNone

Essay and coursework reviewOften billed separately, or only at an examiner tierNone. IA, EE and TOK at the ordinary rate
Home-visit surchargeAround €5–10 per hour extra for a HausbesuchNone — at home costs the same as online

Pay-as-you-go admin feeVaries; frequently not published at all12% on Flexi, published here and on every invoice
Exam season is when the surcharges appear. Intensive revision weeks and pre-exam packages are frequently priced above a provider's own standard hour. Ours are not: three sessions a week in April cost exactly three times what one session costs in October. All three tiers are published in euros, per full hour, on this page and on the tutoring prices in Germany page.
Simple from the start

How IB tutoring in Germany works with Rundil

Three steps from enquiry to a Diploma specialist at your kitchen table — or on screen — usually inside 48 to 72 hours.

1

Tell us subject and level

The school, the subject, whether it is Higher or Standard Level, the year of the programme and whether the pressure is the papers, the IA or the Extended Essay. Two minutes, no registration fee.

2

We assign your tutor

We assign a degree-qualified specialist for that subject at that level — typically within 48–72 hours — and confirm the name and schedule by WhatsApp.

3

Diagnose, then build

Session one reads the last mocks against the markbands and sets the plan to May. From there it is teach, practise, prove — with every session refundable if it falls short.

Built around your family

Who we tutor through the Diploma

Four very different IB families, one common problem: the class moves at the pace of the cohort, and the criteria are not negotiable.

DP1 families who want to start properly

The subjects are chosen, the Higher Levels are heavier than expected and the first real assessment is weeks away. This is where tutoring is cheapest and works best, because everything is still fixable.

DP2 families counting down to May

Predicted grades are in, an offer depends on them and two subjects are a point short. We work backwards from the exam window with timed papers marked to the real markbands.

Students stuck on the IA or the EE

A research question that will not narrow, a supervisor with forty other candidates, and a deadline in three weeks. We work the criteria with them — and we do not write it for them.

Families arriving into the Diploma mid-course

A relocation into Germany from another curriculum, or a move from the MYP or IGCSE into DP1 with a syllabus gap nobody has measured. Two systems, one child, usually eight weeks to bridge them.

Transparent pricing

IB tutoring prices in Germany

Three tiers, published in full, identical at home and online, quoted per 60 minutes. For a Diploma family the tier follows the level: Standard Level and the core sit on the Experienced tier, Higher Level and the final run to the papers on Most Accomplished.

Planning the Diploma

How many hours will my child actually need?

The question every IB parent asks and almost nobody answers. These are the rhythms we see work across the two Diploma years, costed at our Experienced tier of €68 an hour over the recommended 1.5-hour session. They are a planning guide, not a quote — your tutor confirms the rhythm after the first diagnostic session, and you can change it any week.

Final push, or a retake2–3 sessions a week6–8 weeks€816–1,224 a month
Start earlier and you need fewer hours. 95% of the students who joined us before September achieved their target grades by May. In the Diploma that is not a slogan — a September start still has the Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay and the predicted grades ahead of it, while a February start has only the papers left. Figures above use the €68 Experienced tier; Conversational Languages is €58 and Most Accomplished €83, and there is no VAT on any of them. Every session is refundable in full, so a plan that turns out to be wrong costs you nothing to change.
Not sitting the Diploma?

MYP, IGCSE, A-Level or Abitur — which tutor do you need?

The Diploma is one of five programmes running side by side in Germany, and they reward completely different things. If your child is not on this page's curriculum, start on the right one.

Moving between the Diploma and the Abitur mid-course? It is far harder in one direction than the other, and the KMK subject-combination rules bite at the point of transfer rather than at the end. Tell us the school and the year group on WhatsApp and we will tell you exactly what your child would be examined against on both sides before you commit.
Where the Diploma is taught

The IB World Schools our students come from

Germany has 78 IB World Schools, 76 of them authorised for the Diploma Programme, clustered around Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bonn, Hamburg, Stuttgart and the Leipzig–Dresden corridor. These are the schools our students actually attend, with the programmes each one genuinely offers — because IGCSE, the MYP and the Diploma are three different jobs for a tutor.

Programmes listed are each school's own published curricula, checked against the school's website. Two things families get wrong here often enough to be worth stating: several schools assumed to be A-Level schools in fact run IGCSE straight into the IB Diploma, and John F. Kennedy School is the one school on this list that offers the German Abitur rather than the Diploma — other international schools are recognised as equivalent, which is a different thing. Rundil is an independent tutoring service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any school named here. Tutoring is also available for students at any other IB World School in Germany.
IB to German university

What your IB score is actually worth in Germany

Families are routinely told a German university "wants 38 points". No German university publishes an IB cut-off — the system does not work that way, and anyone quoting you one has invented it. Here is what actually happens to the number your child gets on 6 July.

IB pointsConverted German gradeWhat that means in practice
42–451.0The top of the German scale. Competitive for any Numerus Clausus subject.
401.3Comfortably inside the range that clears most restricted programmes.
381.7Strong. Borderline for the most heavily oversubscribed subjects.
362.0Solid. Opens most unrestricted programmes outright.
342.3Workable, but restricted subjects become a real competition.
322.7Below the line for popular NC subjects at the larger universities.
303.0Qualifies for entry; the choice of programme narrows considerably.
283.3Entry secured, competitive programmes largely out of reach.
263.7Close to the floor.
244.0The minimum diploma pass, and the minimum Germany accepts.
Two points is a third of a grade. The conversion runs on a straight line from 24 points (4.0) to 42 points (1.0), so every two IB points is worth roughly 0.33 of a German grade. At competitive levels that is the difference between a 2.0 and a 1.7 — which is precisely the margin most of our Diploma students are working on, and precisely why the three core bonus points are worth taking seriously.

What Germany actually requires

  • Minimum total24 points
  • Minimum at Higher Level12 points
  • Every one of the six subjectsGrade 4 or better
  • Higher Level subjectsThree or four
  • Languages requiredTwo
  • Also requiredOne Group 3 and one Group 4
  • At Higher LevelMathematics or a science
  • Schooling12 consecutive years

The subject combination matters more than the headline total. Taking Mathematics at Standard Level with no science at Higher Level can restrict a student to subject-bound admission rather than general university entrance — a choice made in Year 11 that quietly closes doors in Year 13. It is worth checking the combination the moment it is chosen, not the term before applications.

Why there is no published cut-off

German universities do not set an IB threshold. For oversubscribed subjects they rank every applicant by converted grade average and admit downwards until the places are gone — the grade of the last student admitted becomes that semester's Numerus Clausus. It is a result, not a requirement, and it moves every single intake. The universities that publish last year's figure attach an explicit warning against using it to predict this year's.

International applicants are usually assessed within a separate quota of the intake rather than against the published figure at all, and some programmes weigh a subject grade or an aptitude test alongside the average. So the honest answer to "what score do I need" is: the highest one your child can reasonably reach, because the bar is set by whoever else applies that year.

What we can tell you is where the leverage sits. Two points is a third of a grade; the Extended Essay and TOK together are worth three points before a single paper is sat; and points are far easier to add in DP1 than in the last eight weeks of DP2. That is why we push families to begin the Diploma with support rather than rescue it at the end.

Guarantee & flexibility

Refundable, reassignable & never locked in

Two promises, written down rather than implied — because a Diploma runs for two years, and the two things IB families fear most are paying for hours that change nothing and being tied into a package bought in a panic.

The satisfaction guarantee

A full refund is available after any session if the student requests it. There are no conditions and no asterisks, and it is not limited to the first lesson — satisfaction is guaranteed on every session, across every IB subject and level, in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. If the tutor is not the right fit going forward, we reassign at no cost and with no friction.

The refund is requested in one message — by WhatsApp, by email, or through your account. Nobody is asked to justify it, sit through a retention call, or have an awkward conversation with the tutor; we handle that end. We would rather refund an hour that did not land than have a Diploma candidate sit through five more like it in the term the Internal Assessments are due.

Cancellation & commitment, stated plainly

  • Free cancellation until17:00 the day before
  • Late cancellation & reschedulingNo charge before cut-off
  • Minimum contract periodNone
  • Registration feeNone
  • Notice periodNone
  • On Flexi you pay forHours completed only

Good to know

IB tutoring in Germany: your questions answered

How much does an IB tutor cost in Germany?
Rundil IB tutoring in Germany costs €58, €68 or €83 per 60-minute hour, with no VAT added. Standard Level subjects, the Internal Assessment, the Extended Essay and TOK sit on the Experienced tier at €68; Higher Level subjects and the run to the May papers on Most Accomplished at €83; Conversational Languages is €58. A 1.5-hour session is therefore €87 to €124.50. Across the wider market, premium IB agencies charge roughly €60–150 per hour, online subscription platforms €24–43 in 50-minute units, German Nachhilfe institutes €32–60 one-to-one, and marketplace tutors €13–30 with no vetting attached.
Do you tutor the IB in person in Germany, or only online?
Both, at the same price. At-home IB tutoring runs across Berlin, Munich and Starnberg, Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main area, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bonn, Hamburg and Stuttgart. Online sessions reach every Bundesland. This is the clearest difference from the international IB agencies, which are online-first and rarely publish an at-home option in Germany at all. You can switch between at home and online any week without a price change.
Which IB subjects and levels do you tutor?
All six groups at both Higher and Standard Level: Language A and Language B in Group 1 and 2, Economics, Business Management, History, Geography, Psychology, Global Politics and ESS in Group 3, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science in Group 4, Maths AA and Maths AI in Group 5, and the Arts in Group 6. We also tutor the core — the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge — and the whole MYP beneath the Diploma. Tutors are assigned to a subject and a level, because Maths AA HL and Maths AI SL are not the same job.
Which German cities do you cover for IB tutoring?
At-home tutoring covers Berlin, Munich and Starnberg, Frankfurt and Rhine-Main, Düsseldorf and Duisburg, Cologne and Bonn, Hamburg, and Stuttgart and Sindelfingen — the eight areas where Germany's IB World Schools actually cluster. We also teach online across Leipzig, Dresden, Hannover, Erlangen, Heidelberg, Mannheim, Nuremberg and every other Bundesland at exactly the same price. Add your postcode on the booking form to confirm at-home availability.
Can a tutor help with the Internal Assessment?
Yes, and it is the single biggest lever we have. Internal Assessment is teacher-marked and IB-moderated coursework carrying roughly a fifth to a third of the subject grade depending on subject and level. Most marks are lost in the same three places: a research question that cannot be answered within the word count, thin evaluation, and a first draft written the week it is due. A tutor works the criteria strand by strand with the student, shapes the question early and rehearses the evaluation section. The student writes it; the tutor teaches, questions and marks.
Can a tutor help with the Extended Essay, and where is the line?
Yes. We help narrow the research question, build the argument structure, sharpen the analysis and hold the student to a realistic drafting calendar across the eight to ten weeks it really takes. The line is firm and we state it before the first session: Rundil tutors do not write Extended Essays, do not supply text to be submitted, and are not the student's supervisor — the school supervisor is, and their reflection sessions are part of the assessment. Everything we do is designed to survive the academic integrity declaration your child signs.
Do you tutor Theory of Knowledge and the TOK essay?
Yes. TOK is the component families most often let drift, and it is half of the three bonus points on offer. Support covers the exhibition, the choice and unpacking of a prescribed title, finding knowledge examples from the student's own six subjects rather than generic ones, and turning a 1,600-word summary into an argued essay. TOK is graded A to E, and an E in TOK is a failing condition for the entire Diploma regardless of how strong the subject grades are.
Does CAS affect the Diploma score?
CAS carries no points, which is exactly why it becomes a problem. Creativity, Activity, Service runs across both Diploma years and requires a portfolio with reflections and one substantial project; incomplete CAS is a genuine reason a Diploma is not awarded even when every grade is in place. It is not a tutoring subject and we do not charge for it. We flag it in the first planning session and keep it visible on the family's calendar.
What are predicted grades, and can tutoring improve them?
Predicted grades are the school's forecast of each subject grade, submitted to the IB and used by universities to make conditional offers. They are set on mock and coursework performance in DP1 and early DP2 — long before most families feel the exam year has started. That is precisely why tutoring that begins in the autumn is worth more than the same hours bought in spring: work that lifts a November mock changes the number the offers are built on, whereas work in April only changes the final result the offer is measured against.
What IB score do I need for a German university?
There is no published IB cut-off at any German university, and any figure quoted to you as one has been invented. Germany sets a national minimum of 24 points, with at least 12 at Higher Level, grade 4 or better in all six subjects, three or four Higher Level subjects, two languages, one Group 3 and one Group 4 subject, Mathematics or a science at Higher Level, and twelve consecutive school years. The total is then converted to a German grade on a straight line: 42 points or more becomes 1.0, 36 becomes 2.0, 30 becomes 3.0 and 24 becomes 4.0. For oversubscribed subjects, universities rank applicants by that converted grade and admit downwards until places run out, so the grade of the last student admitted becomes that semester's Numerus Clausus. It is a result, not a requirement, and it moves every intake. Practically: every two IB points is worth about a third of a German grade.
Is the IB Diploma recognised for German university entry?
Yes, under the KMK agreement, provided the subject conditions are met — not just the total. The Diploma must include at least 24 points across six subjects with none below 4 of 7, three or four subjects at Higher Level, two languages, one Group 3 and one Group 4 subject, Mathematics or a science among the Higher Level subjects, and twelve consecutive school years of education. Miss the combination and a student can end up with subject-bound admission rather than general university entrance. It is worth checking the combination in Year 11, when it can still be changed.
Is the IB Diploma harder than the Abitur?
They are hard in different directions, and comparing them by difficulty is less useful than comparing them by shape. The Diploma spreads six subjects, three of them at Higher Level, plus 4,000 words of independent research, a TOK essay and CAS across two years, with coursework moderated internationally. The Abitur concentrates on a 900-point Gesamtqualifikation — up to 600 points from Qualifikationsphase coursework and 300 from four final examinations set by your own Bundesland. The Diploma asks for breadth and written independence; the Abitur asks for sustained depth in a state format. Students who can write tend to prefer the Diploma.
Can an IB tutor teach in German rather than English?
Yes. Many of our tutors in Germany are bilingual and teach the Diploma in German where that is the student's stronger language, which matters most for German A candidates, for students in a bilingual Diploma stream, and for anyone who has moved into an English-medium school recently and is losing marks on expression rather than on understanding. Say which language you would prefer on the booking form and we assign accordingly. The subject vocabulary is taught in the examination language either way.
What happens if the May session goes wrong, can my child retake?
Yes. Candidates may retake in a later session, with the November session the usual next opportunity about six months after May, and a maximum of three sessions in total including the original to complete the Diploma. Internal Assessment marks generally carry forward without resubmission, so a retake is normally about the externally examined papers, and the better of the original and repeated grade counts for each subject. Registration deadlines fall months ahead of the session, so the decision has to be made quickly after results. We run retake preparation at the Most Accomplished tier.
When are the IB exams, and when do results arrive?
The May session is the one almost every candidate in Germany sits: written papers run from late April into the third week of May, with results released in early July. The November session sits in late October and November with results in early January, and is used mainly for retakes in the Northern Hemisphere. Orals, the Extended Essay and Internal Assessments are submitted well before the papers, on deadlines each school sets internally — which is why the exam year effectively begins the previous autumn.
HL or SL, how much does the choice actually matter?
A great deal, in two directions. Academically, Higher Level covers additional content and is examined with an extra paper and greater depth, so four Higher Levels taken to look ambitious often produce two grades at 4. Administratively, Germany requires at least 12 points across the Higher Level subjects and expects Mathematics or a science among them, so the combination can decide whether a student gets general or subject-bound university entrance. Ask the question in Year 11 while it is still a choice — we will give you an honest answer about the load before it is locked in.
IB Maths AA or AI, which should my child take?
Analysis and Approaches is the algebraic, proof-and-calculus route and is the safer choice for engineering, physics, mathematics and most economics degrees. Applications and Interpretation is modelling, statistics and technology-led, and is a genuinely strong option for social sciences, design and business — it is not an easy version of AA, it is a different subject with different papers. The trap is choosing AA HL for prestige and carrying it at a 4. If you are weighing the two, our Group 5 tutors will work through a paper from each with your child before you decide.
How many hours of IB tutoring does my child actually need?
One session a week for eight to twelve weeks is what lifting a single subject by a grade usually takes — around €408 a month at the Experienced tier. An Internal Assessment is typically two sessions a week for three to four weeks; an Extended Essay one a week across eight to ten. A full DP2 year runs at one to two sessions a week for six to eight months. The honest headline is this: 95% of the students who joined us before September achieved their target grades by May. The condition is doing the work. A September start still has the coursework and the predicted grades ahead of it; a February start has only the papers.
Is there a contract, a minimum term or a registration fee?
No. There is no subscription, no registration fee, no setup fee and no minimum term — which is unusual in this market, where the German institutes sell 6, 12 and 24-month agreements with separate registration and setup charges, and the main online platform prices off a 12-month membership. You can add hours before the IA deadlines, pause over the summer between DP1 and DP2, or stop entirely, and none of it costs you anything. A full refund is also available after any session if the student requests it, with no conditions and no approval process.
Is IB tutoring VAT-exempt in Germany, and is it tax-deductible?
Tutoring is VAT-exempt in Germany, so our €58, €68 and €83 rates are the final rates — nothing is added at checkout or on your invoice. Deductibility is a separate and less generous question. Ordinary tutoring is generally not deductible: the Kinderbetreuungskosten deduction under §10 Abs. 1 Nr. 5 EStG explicitly excludes Unterricht, Nachhilfe und Schulgeld; the Schulgeld relief under §10 Abs. 1 Nr. 9 EStG applies only to fees at a state-recognised Ersatzschule; and §35a haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen does not cover pedagogical services. Two real exceptions exist: tutoring made necessary by a job-related relocation, deductible up to a capped amount per child under the Umzugskostenverordnung, and tutoring for a medically diagnosed learning disorder, claimable as an außergewöhnliche Belastung where the diagnosis precedes the tuition. Lernförderung under §28 SGB II can also cover tutoring where the household receives Bürgergeld or comparable support. Confirm your own position with a Steuerberater.

IB tutors in Germany, chosen by subject and by level

Rundil provides one-to-one IB tutoring across Germany for students at the country's 76 Diploma-authorised schools, for MYP students heading towards them, and for candidates preparing a retake. The hard part here is almost never finding someone clever. It is finding someone who has marked the specific thing your child is losing marks on — a Group 4 scientific investigation against its five criteria, a Business Management case study where the command term is evaluate and the answer describes, a Maths AA HL proof question that has to be set out rather than merely solved. A tutor who treats Higher Level Chemistry and Standard Level Chemistry as one subject will be pleasant, expensive and largely ineffective.

So we do the identifying for you. You tell us the school, the subject, the level and the year of the programme; we assign a degree-qualified specialist, typically within 48 to 72 hours, and confirm the name and schedule by WhatsApp. There is no gallery of profiles to sift through, no trial-and-error, and no fee for changing your mind.

The two years, and where they are won

The Diploma is scored out of 45: six subjects at seven points each, plus up to three from the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge matrix. Nearly all of it is decided before the papers. Internal Assessments are drafted and moderated through DP1 and the first half of DP2. The Extended Essay question is fixed a year before it is submitted. Predicted grades — the numbers universities build conditional offers on — are set on mock performance long before the exam year feels like an exam year. By the time the written papers arrive in the May session, running from late April into the third week of May, with results in early July, most of the score is already fixed. That is the whole argument for starting in the autumn rather than in February, and it is the reason our own figure carries a date in it.

One price, sixty minutes, no VAT and nothing to cancel

Rundil charges €58, €68 or €83 per full 60-minute hour whether the tutor sits at your kitchen table in Bogenhausen or joins from a screen in Leipzig, because the preparation behind the hour does not change. Tutoring is VAT-exempt in Germany, so the rate above is the rate on your invoice. There is no subscription, no registration fee, no setup fee and no minimum term: add hours in the eight weeks before the papers, pause them over the summer, stop altogether once results are in. Free cancellation runs until 17:00 the day before any session, and on Flexi you pay only for the hours actually completed. Families across Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart choose Rundil because the tutoring is the point — and everything else stays out of the way.
