Online IB Computer Science tutoring for the new 2027 course

Your tutor took IB Computer Science and achieved a top grade.

IB Computer Science has a new course, first taught in August 2025 and first assessed in May 2027. The old options and HL Paper 3 have gone. Every student now studies two themes: Theme A, concepts of computer science, and Theme B, computational thinking and problem-solving.

Paper 1 tests Theme A and a pre-seen case study. Paper 2 tests Theme B, including programming in Java or Python. At SL each paper lasts 1 hour 15 minutes and is worth 35%. At HL each lasts 2 hours and is worth 40%. The internal assessment is a computational solution to a problem you choose, worth 30% at SL and 20% at HL.

Every IBPapa session is 1-to-1, online and recorded. Your tutor can work through programming problems in your language, help you prepare for the case study, or explain how the computational solution 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!!"

Two themes, two papers

Paper 1: concepts and the pre-seen case study. Paper 2: problem-solving and programming.

Java or Python

Paper 2 is set in the language your school teaches. Your tutor works in the same one.

The computational solution

Software you build to solve a problem you choose. Worth 30% at SL and 20% at HL, and it must be your own work.
