The programme
What every Mathematics programme includes
Essential notes & questions
Highly relevant questions for each topic to practise before any assessment, so you focus on the absolute essentials without wasting time on the periphery.
Exam-question drilling
After each topic, learn to solve the different variations of exam-style questions across Paper 1 and Paper 2 — because exam performance is always the focus.
Why ElitePrep
Why students choose ElitePrep for IB Mathematics
IB Maths rewards a route chosen well and technique drilled hard. Our tutors help with both — from the AA-versus-AI decision to the final exam.
An exam-based system
A tried-and-tested, exam-based Mathematics method that lets students fast-track their journey to a Level 7 in IB Maths, across both AA and AI.
A strong track record
An exceptional record of over 94% of students scoring Level 6 or 7 and gaining admission to prestigious universities worldwide.
Measurable exam gains
On average, our students improve their practice-test scores by up to 40% through structured, exam-style question practice.
The right route, then the IA
We help students choose correctly between AA and AI, then guide the exploration to a polished Level 7 draft — two decisions that shape the final grade.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What makes ElitePrep's IB Maths tutors the best in Hong Kong?
ElitePrep's IB Maths tutors offer a comprehensive, exam-focused approach across both AA and AI at HL and SL, with deep familiarity with the assessment criteria and a system designed to fast-track students to top grades.
How will ElitePrep's tutors help me score a 7 in the Maths IA?
Tutors take you through the exploration step by step — choosing a workable topic, incorporating mathematical concepts correctly and refining a Level 7 final draft — the structured process behind consistently high IA scores.
How should I choose between IB Maths AA and AI?
It depends on your strengths and university plans: AA suits algebraic, proof-based mathematics and courses like engineering or maths itself, while AI suits modelling and real-data work. We help each student weigh these factors before they commit to a route and level.
What's the difference between IA criterion A (communication) and criterion B (mathematical presentation)?
Criterion A concerns the overall organisation and coherence of the exploration, while criterion B concerns the appropriate use of mathematical notation, terminology and representation. We show students how to satisfy both.
Can students in the same class use the same IA exploration title?
Students can share a title, but their explorations must be distinctly different in the specific avenue explored. We help each student find an angle that is genuinely their own.
Are online tutoring options available?
Yes. Online Maths sessions use interactive whiteboards with the same tutors and materials as in-person classes at our Sheung Wan centre, and are a common choice for students with heavy schedules.
