Master criterion-based assessment and build strong foundations for the IB Diploma. Expert MYP maths tutors for ages 11–16.
IB MYP Mathematics demands more than getting the right answer — students must demonstrate understanding across four distinct criteria: Knowing and Understanding, Investigating Patterns, Communicating mathematically, and Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts. At GetYourTutors, our full-time maths tutors in Dubai are experienced in this criterion-based assessment model. We help students not only master algebraic, geometric, and statistical concepts but also learn how to present their mathematical reasoning in the structured way MYP examiners expect. Whether your child is in MYP Year 1 building on PYP Mathematics or in Year 5 preparing for the IB Diploma, we tailor every session to their needs.
Many MYP students find that they understand mathematical procedures but struggle to earn top marks because they don't address all four criteria effectively. Our tutors diagnose exactly where marks are being lost — whether it's pattern investigation, mathematical communication, or real-world application — and provide targeted practice. We also prepare students for the MYP eAssessment, building familiarity with the on-screen format and the types of unfamiliar problems it presents. This comprehensive approach ensures your child is ready for every aspect of MYP assessment and well-positioned for success in the IB Diploma Programme.
Our MYP tutors also cover MYP Sciences and MYP Language & Literature. View all IB MYP tutoring services or explore our general mathematics tutoring for other curricula.

Common questions about IB MYP maths tutoring in Dubai.
MYP mathematics uses four assessment criteria: Criterion A (Knowing and Understanding), Criterion B (Investigating Patterns), Criterion C (Communicating), and Criterion D (Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts). Each criterion is graded 0–8, and the final grade combines all four. Our tutors ensure your child understands exactly what each criterion demands.
MYP mathematics covers Number, Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry, and Statistics & Probability. The depth increases across MYP Years 1–5. In the extended framework (Years 4–5), students encounter more advanced topics that prepare them directly for IB Diploma Mathematics courses.
MYP mathematics builds the algebraic, geometric, and statistical foundations that IB Diploma Mathematics AA (Analysis and Approaches) and AI (Applications and Interpretation) require. Our tutors focus on developing both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding — the combination needed for success at DP level.
Yes. The MYP eAssessment in mathematics is an on-screen exam that tests problem-solving and mathematical reasoning in unfamiliar contexts. Our tutors prepare students with practice in the eAssessment format, including constructed-response questions and multi-step problems that require showing working clearly.
Absolutely. Criterion D (Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts) is where many MYP students lose marks because it requires modelling real situations mathematically. Our tutors specifically practise real-world application problems, teaching students how to identify the maths in context, create models, justify assumptions, and evaluate results.
In MYP Years 4–5, schools offer Standard and Extended mathematics frameworks. Extended mathematics covers additional topics — such as advanced algebra, trigonometric identities, and more complex statistics — that prepare students for IB Diploma Mathematics at Higher Level. Our tutors help families decide which framework suits their child and provide targeted support for either pathway.
Criterion C assesses how clearly students express mathematical reasoning using correct notation, terminology, and logical structure. Many students lose marks here by showing working poorly or using informal language. Our tutors teach students how to present solutions systematically, use proper mathematical notation, label diagrams, and write coherent explanations that demonstrate clear reasoning.
For most MYP students, two sessions per week delivers consistent improvement across all four criteria. Students preparing for the eAssessment or transitioning to IB Diploma may benefit from three sessions. We tailor frequency to your child's needs — some students reduce to one session per week once they reach their target performance level.
Yes. Students transferring into MYP from British, American, or other curricula often find the criterion-based assessment system unfamiliar. Our tutors bridge this gap by teaching how MYP assessment works, what each criterion demands, and how to present mathematical thinking in the way MYP examiners expect — while also addressing any content gaps from the transition.
