# Online IB Biology tutoring for SL and HL
## Your tutor took IB Biology and achieved a top grade.
IBPapa offers 1-to-1 online IB Biology tutoring at Standard Level and Higher Level for the current course, first assessed in May 2025. The syllabus is built around four themes (unity and diversity, form and function, interaction and interdependence, and continuity and change) and four levels of biological organisation: molecules, cells, organisms and ecosystems.
Your grade comes from three components. Paper 1 (36%) combines multiple-choice questions in Paper 1A (30 at SL, 40 at HL) with four data-based questions in Paper 1B, taken together in one sitting. Paper 2 (44%) has a section of data-based and short-answer questions and a section of extended responses: SL students answer one of two, HL students two of three. The scientific investigation, your IA, is worth 20%. Paper 1 lasts 1 hour 30 minutes at SL and 2 hours at HL; Paper 2 lasts 1 hour 30 minutes at SL and 2 hours 30 minutes at HL.
Every IBPapa session is 1-to-1, online and recorded, so you can rewatch it before your exams. You set the focus: a topic you are stuck on, practice for one specific paper, or understanding how your IA is marked.

### **What our students say**
*"**A** **\[name initialised for tutor's privacy\]** is a great tutor! After multiple tutors for IB chemistry I was on the verge of giving up my search for a tutor. I found **A** as a tutor because a friend of mine had him as his math and biology tutor. He is fun to talk to and is really relatable. In **A’s** classes, I not only learnt to like chemistry, but I actively noticed how I got better, more motivated and more confident in chemistry. He is perfectly familiar with the IB and helped me to get my IB SL chemistry grade from a 3 to a 6 in my finals!!"*
