1-on-1 IB Diploma Programme Tutoring · International School Students · Taipei
Premium 1-on-1 IB Diploma Programme tutoring for Taipei's international school students. Subject-specialist faculty across every DP subject group, plus dedicated coaching for the Theory of Knowledge essay and the Extended Essay.
Eighteen IB programs covering mathematics, the sciences, languages and humanities, social sciences, the arts, and the Diploma Core. Every program is matched to a faculty member who teaches that DP subject specifically, not a generalist rotating across many.
Both IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) and Applications and Interpretation (AI), at HL and SL. Each student is matched to faculty who teach their specific course route. The two routes have meaningfully different content emphases, and we coach to the actual syllabus your school is teaching.
Explore IB Mathematics →IB Biology HL and SL across cell biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and human physiology. We teach biology as a way of thinking about living systems, with the practical work and Internal Assessment skills the IB syllabus rewards.
Explore IB Biology →IB Chemistry HL and SL across atomic structure, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, and organic chemistry. Conceptual rigor first, then the calculation fluency the IB exam expects across Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3.
Explore IB Chemistry →IB Physics HL and SL covering mechanics, thermal physics, waves, electromagnetism, and the option topics. Conceptual understanding comes first, with mathematical formalism following naturally. Internal Assessment work is supported through every stage.
Explore IB Physics →IB Computer Science HL and SL covering computational thinking, system fundamentals, databases, networks, and the practical Internal Assessment programming project. Faculty bring real software development background to the work.
Explore IB Computer Science →IB English Language and Literature HL and SL, working with literary and non-literary texts across the prescribed reading list. We coach close reading, the comparative essay structure, and the Individual Oral the assessment requires.
Explore IB English →IB Chinese A: Language and Literature HL and SL, working with literary and non-literary texts across the prescribed Chinese reading list. We coach close reading, comparative analysis, and the Individual Oral the assessment requires.
Explore IB Chinese →IB Spanish B HL and SL, the language-acquisition pathway for students continuing Spanish from prior study. We coach productive language use, the Individual Oral, and the structured written work the IB Language Acquisition rubric expects.
Explore IB Spanish →IB History HL and SL across the prescribed subjects and world history topics. We teach the source-based analysis the exam rewards across Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3, and coach the Internal Assessment historical investigation.
Explore IB History →IB Philosophy HL and SL covering core themes (the human condition), optional themes, and the prescribed text study. We coach the philosophical writing and structured argumentation IB Philosophy assessment requires.
Explore IB Philosophy →IB Economics HL and SL covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, the global economy, and economic development. We coach the diagrammatic analysis, real-world application, and Internal Assessment commentaries the syllabus expects.
Explore IB Economics →IB Business Management HL and SL covering business organization, human resources, finance, marketing, and operations management. The case study analysis at Paper 2 is treated as a core skill, not an afterthought.
Explore IB Business Management →IB Psychology HL and SL across the biological, cognitive, and sociocultural approaches. We coach the structured ERQ (extended response question) format and the Internal Assessment experimental write-up the exam rewards.
Explore IB Psychology →IB Global Politics HL and SL covering power, sovereignty, human rights, development, peace and conflict, and global governance. The course rewards students who connect theory to current case studies, and our coaching builds that habit deliberately.
Explore IB Global Politics →IB Theatre HL and SL across the four assessment tasks, from the production proposal through the research presentation. Faculty bring direct theatre training and performance experience to the work; the course rewards students who connect theory to practice deliberately.
Explore IB Theatre →IB Film HL and SL covering the textual analysis, comparative study, film portfolio, and (HL) collaborative film project. We coach the critical-and-creative integration the assessment requires, with faculty experienced in film production and analysis.
Explore IB Film →TOK Essay and TOK Exhibition coaching for the IB Diploma's signature epistemology course. We work backward from how IB examiners grade, focusing on the analytical structures that separate top marks from average ones. Many of our TOK students also work with us on their Extended Essay.
Explore Theory of Knowledge →Research and writing support for the Extended Essay and the Internal Assessments across every IB subject. From research question through final submission, our faculty bring research experience from leading universities to coach students through the academic writing the IB rewards.
Explore Extended Essay & IA →Every Harland program is built on the US Common Core standards, with clear pathways into IB, AP, IELTS, and SAT preparation as students are ready. Each lesson connects to the assignments and assessments your child is preparing for at school.
Harland's pedagogy is content-based learning. The inquiry and analysis the IB rewards develop through the substance students engage with, not through isolated drills. Students build real command of the material while preparing for assessment.
We measure success by how soon a student no longer needs us. The program brings each student to the point where their school's curriculum becomes the right challenge, and once they are there, many families step their cadence down or move on. We treat that as the right outcome.

Most families come to Harland looking for a third option. They want something distinct from a crowded classroom of thirty, yet far more structured and rigorous than a typical home tutor. They are looking for truly personalized learning with transparent, constant growth and a clear, defined end date.
When I founded Harland, my goal was to build the exact organization I would want for my own family. That meant bringing together subject-specialist faculty who embody the same growth mindset we aim to instill in our students. It meant designing a curriculum rooted in the actual academic courses students are navigating, rather than generic language exercises. Above all, it meant treating families as true educational partners, and students as the ultimate drivers of their own intellectual journeys.
We are intentionally honest about alignment during our admissions process because Harland is not the right fit for every family. But for the families we are right for, one of my greatest joys is receiving that phone call from a parent telling me their child no longer needs us. Independent success is the outcome we work toward from the very first lesson.
Every Harland IB teacher is hired for subject-specialist credentials, real teaching experience with the DP framework, and the ability to keep students working at university-preparatory rigor. Below are a few of our IB faculty.
Holds a PhD in Astronomy from Columbia and teaches the sciences and mathematics, drawing on his own published research.
A CELTA-certified educator with over 15 years across Taiwan, India, and the UAE, building personalized learning aligned with each student's goals.
Specializes in IB English Literature, writing, and humanities, with international teaching experience and IB certification.

Every Harland relationship starts the same way. Here is what to expect after you reach out.
A consultation about your child's current level, your goals, and whether Harland is the right fit. In person at our Taipei office, or over video.
ComplimentaryYour child sits a 1-on-1 assessment class with one of our teachers. This determines course suitability and the right entry point within that course.
ComplimentaryBased on the consultation and assessment, we recommend a specific course, an entry point within it, and a faculty member matched to your child's needs.
Sessions begin at our Taipei office or online. We review progress at regular intervals and adjust the plan as your child grows.
