One tutor for IB Maths AA HL and the TMUA.
AA HL already teaches most of what the TMUA tests. Prep them together with one specialist and your school maths doubles as admissions-test preparation — no duplicated effort, one coherent plan toward both a 7 and a top TMUA score.
Online 1-on-1 · for IB students in India, Dubai, Singapore, the UK and worldwide.
Where AA HL and the TMUA overlap
The content is largely shared. The TMUA adds reasoning under time pressure with no calculator — the one skill we layer on top of your IB foundations.

Frequently asked questions
Can the same tutor prepare me for both IB Maths AA HL and the TMUA?
Yes — that is the whole point of this programme. AA HL already builds the algebra, functions, calculus and proof that the TMUA tests, so one tutor coaches both in parallel. Your school maths and your admissions-test prep stop competing for time and start reinforcing each other.
How much do IB Maths AA HL and the TMUA actually overlap?
Heavily on content — polynomials, sequences, logarithms, trigonometry, differentiation and integration all appear in both. The TMUA adds a distinct skill: speed and mathematical reasoning under time pressure, with no calculator. We keep your AA HL foundations sharp and layer the TMUA exam technique on top.
Which universities use the TMUA?
The TMUA is used by Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, LSE, Durham, UCL and others for maths-heavy courses. A strong TMUA score can strengthen your application and, at some universities, lower your offer. See our dedicated TMUA course for the full breakdown.
When should an IB student start TMUA prep?
Ideally in the months before the autumn test sitting, once AA HL has covered the core calculus and algebra. We run a diagnostic in the free demo and build a timeline around your IB deadlines so neither gets neglected.
Are sessions online and 1-on-1?
Yes — every session is live, one-to-one and online over secure video, scheduled around your timezone. We work with IB students in India, Dubai, Singapore, the UK and worldwide.
