How do Dulwich College Singapore students move from IGCSE into IB Maths and Physics?
Dulwich College Singapore students take IGCSE in Years 10 and 11 and then the IB Diploma in Years 12 and 13. That means IB Maths and IB Physics start in Year 12, right after the IGCSE exams. The pace changes in the first term of DP1, and that is when IB tuition helps most. In the 2026 IGCSE results, 73% of the school's grades were A* or A. The Class of 2026, 145 IB Diploma students, averaged 37.7 points against a world average of 30.88, as published by the school. A strong IGCSE grade does not guarantee an easy DP1. IB Maths brings proof, modelling and calculus from the first weeks. IB Physics expects students to build and rearrange equations as well as recall them. In the first lessons I close any IGCSE gaps in algebra and functions before they slow down the DP1 topics.
Where do Dulwich College Singapore students usually need help in IB Maths and Physics?
Dulwich College Singapore students in IB Maths and IB Physics typically need support in four places. The first is choosing between Maths AA and AI. The others are the problem-solving style of HL Paper 3, the volume and depth of Physics HL, and the Internal Assessment. These are the points where IB tuition makes the clearest difference. AA suits students heading for engineering, physics or mathematics. AI suits those whose plans lean on statistics and modelling. HL Paper 3 sets long, unfamiliar investigations, so I train students to read the structure of the question and reuse earlier parts. Physics HL rewards steady practice on mechanics, fields and data questions. For the IA in Maths or Physics, I help with choosing a focused question, planning the method and checking the analysis. The work and the writing stay the student's own.
How does online IB tuition work in Singapore time?
My IB Maths tuition and IB Physics tuition for Dulwich College Singapore students is one-to-one and online. Lessons run on weekday evenings between 5 pm and 9 pm Singapore time. I teach from Europe, where those hours are my working morning, so I come to every lesson fresh and never at the end of a long day. Each lesson follows the student's school work: the current Maths or Physics topic, an upcoming test, past paper questions or an IA draft. Families start with a 20-minute assessment session. In it we look at where the student stands and what the DP1 or DP2 year needs. I have spent more than ten years teaching international-school students. My PhD in experimental particle physics shapes how I teach measurement, uncertainty and data analysis in IB Physics.
Dulwich College Singapore families can book a 20-minute assessment session for IB Maths or IB Physics, with no charge and no commitment. Send me a message and we will find a weekday evening slot in Singapore time.
