In the Netherlands, Maths AI at HL meets the maths condition for economics at VU, Maastricht, Utrecht and Groningen, and at Erasmus with a 5 or higher; AI at SL is enough only at Maastricht, and at VU with a 5, and neither level opens a TU Delft or TU/e degree. Our Applications and Interpretation tutors help SL and HL students in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Hague and beyond with statistics, modelling, the calculator papers and the exploration, online on Central European Time, from €63 an hour.
AI marks are often lost in explaining what a result means rather than in the calculation. The cards below mix DP maths specialists with recent IB graduates; tell us your child’s level and their weakest paper, and we match them with one.
IB Maths AI TutorIA moderator23 years' teaching
Teaching has always been my passion and I have completed 23 years in this field. Working as an IB AI Moderator and Paper One Examiner for more than sixteen years helps me to make students understand the way of writing skills as per the markschemes. I am also an A Levels Examiner.
IB Maths AI Tutor45/45 IB graduateUniversity of Oxford4 years' IB tutoring
I'm Hela, an IB graduate with 45 points who now studies Neuropsychiatry at University of Oxford. Previously I have received a first-class bachelors degree from St Andrews University. I received 7s from all of my studies, and I have been an IB tutor for the past 4 years, teaching mainly Biology and Mathematics AA and AI, both at a SL and HL. Despite having done these subjects at a university level, I remember studying them back in high school and how stressful and sometimes complicated the concepts were. Thus, I pride myself on being a patient tutor, that takes time whenever a concept needs to be explained in more detail, whilst at the same time providing further learning opportunities (recommending further readings/ competitions) for students who want to do explore a topic in more depth. Outside of tutoring I am an avid runner and rower and love to paint in my free time.
IB Maths AI Tutor45/45 IB graduateCornell University3+ years' IB tutoring
I’m Shivani, an IB graduate with 45 points who now studies Psychology at Cornell University. I achieved 7s in HL Math AI and HL Psychology, and I’ve been tutoring IB students for over 3 years. Many students struggle with complex mathematical concepts because the more fundamental ideas are a little bit confusing. So, I focus on ensuring that the core concepts are understood and then the more complex concepts become easier to break down. With Psychology students, I focus on helping them develop a structure for exam writing, which influences how they learn as well. I also help develop exam strategies that are personalized to each student's needs. I see myself as a mentor as much as a tutor. Outside of tutoring, I love cooking, travelling, and swimming!

I have achieved the highest average in MYP Mathematics across all Beaconhouse schools, reflecting consistently strong student outcomes. I am also an IA Moderator and Examiner, giving me first-hand insight into IB assessment standards, mark schemes, and examiner expectations.
IB Maths AI Tutor16 years' teaching
I’m Daniel, an IB Examiner for Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) HL with about 23 years of tutoring experience and 16 years of teaching mathematics in international schools across Africa, Asia, and Europe. I hold an MSc in Mathematics from University of Macau and I've guided students through a whole range of curricula—from IB MYP and DP to IGCSEs and A-Levels, even university-level exams. I've also prepped students for top university entrance tests like the TMUA and MAT, and trained students for contests like the Maths Olympiad. All these has really shaped how I teach, combining conceptual depth with analytical precision, all while making sure students are exam-ready. My lessons are interactive, structured, and highly visual. I use LiveBoard and colorful digital slides to break down complex ideas into clear, step-by-step explanations. I encourage students to understand not just how to solve a problem, but why each step works—building deeper insight and lasting confidence. I’m particularly skilled at helping students build confidence and thrive at a pace that suits their individual learning needs. Outside teaching, I love movies, coding, keeping up with world events, and, of course, spending time with my family.
IB Maths AI Tutor5 years' tutoring42/45 IB graduateMcGill University
I'm Thomas, a 2021 IB Graduate and McGill Graduate with 5+ years of teaching experience. I achieved a 42, with 7s in Math AI HL, Bio HL, Chem HL, and Econ. I'll help you achieve your goal score (5, 6, or 7) by helping you understand the key concepts through activities, practice, clear explanations and teaching you test strategies to ensure you're ready to crush your exam. The IB isn't easy, but it is straightforward. I've also helped students plan and revise IA's and EE's, having achieved an A in mine. Outside of tutoring, I'm building a biotech startup, playing the guitar, running (a lot), and travelling when I can. Hope to see you in class. Thomas :)
Whether AI is enough depends on the programme, not the university: Maastricht accepts AI at SL for economics but wants AA at HL for computer science. The table gives each programme’s rule for 2027-28 as the university states it; check the Maastricht, VU, Erasmus and Groningen pages for the full wording.
| Programme | AI SL | AI HL |
|---|---|---|
| Maastricht: Economics and Business Economics; International Business | Accepted | Accepted |
| VU: Economics and Business Economics; International Business Administration | Accepted with a 5 or higher | Accepted |
| Erasmus: Economics and Business Economics (IBEB); RSM International Business Administration | Only with a maths proficiency certificate | Accepted with a 5 or higher |
| Utrecht: Economics and Business Economics | Only with a maths certificate | Accepted |
| Groningen: Economics and Business Economics; International Business; Bedrijfskunde | Not accepted | Accepted |
| Maastricht: Econometrics and Operations Research; Business Analytics; Business Engineering | Not accepted | Accepted |
| VU and Groningen: Artificial Intelligence | Not accepted | Accepted |
| Medicine (Geneeskunde) at Maastricht and Groningen | Not accepted | Accepted |
| Econometrics, computer science and mathematics at VU and Groningen; Computer Science and Data Science at Maastricht | Not accepted | Not accepted: AA HL only |
| Every bachelor’s at TU Delft and TU/e | Not accepted | Not accepted: AA HL only |
“Not accepted” means the IB course alone does not meet the rule. Several universities offer a way round a missing subject: Maastricht and Groningen let applicants clear it with an exam or an accepted certificate, VU lists alternatives on each programme page, and Erasmus and Utrecht name the maths certificates they take instead.
If any programme on it is at Delft or TU/e, or is econometrics, computer science or mathematics, AI will not do: see our Maths AA page. If the list is economics or business, AI at HL keeps every university above open, and AI at SL keeps Maastricht and VU. Psychology at Groningen, VU and Maastricht sets no maths condition at all (more on our Psychology page); Amsterdam University College has thresholds of its own, set out on our Amsterdam page.
A 4 was the most common AI HL result worldwide in May 2025 (25.7%), and 49.3% of candidates reached the 5 or better that Erasmus and RSM write into their maths rule. AI SL, a far larger entry of 42,968, averaged 3.9, below every other IB maths course and level.
| IB grade | Share of candidates |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.6% |
| 2 | 8.1% |
| 3 | 13.9% |
| 4 | 25.7% |
| 5 | 23.7% |
| 6 | 16% |
| 7 | 9.6% |
From a 3.7 average before tutoring to a 4.8 after tutoring with Lanterna.
HL adds confidence intervals, further hypothesis tests and Markov chains to the statistics, along with vectors, matrices, graph theory and differential equations. A revised IB maths curriculum is first examined in May 2029, so current DP1 and DP2 students finish this course. Our guide to choosing between AA and AI covers the decision from the student’s side.

“My daughter is in her first year of sixth form and is studying maths as one of her higher level subjects. After an extended period of home schooling she is lacking in confidence, but her tutor Imogen is making a huge difference. Having studied IB not that long ago, Imogen really understands the challenges of IB and is a great role model as well as a brilliant tutor. I definitely recommend Lanterna for anyone who needs support for any IB subject.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Anne-Lise. Each lesson was tailored to what I needed and wanted to work on, and I got the most out of each session with her. My Norwegian skills and grades improved drastically after I started taking lessons from her. She is an amazing tutor and a great person who I found easy and fun to work with, and I think it is because of her that I was able to course through my final exams with ease!”
“My Tutor Filip was the smartest and nicest person I’ve ever met. I got behind more mathematical concepts in my 7 sessions than I did in 2 years at school!!”

Read the guide: IB University Planning Primer 2026Erasmus’s IBEB and RSM’s International Business Administration want AI at HL with at least a 5, or AA (a 4 at HL, a 5 at SL), so an AI SL student has two routes: move to AI HL if the school still allows it, or keep SL and pass one of the maths proficiency certificates Erasmus lists. A tutor can support the first route week by week, with the HL topics and Paper 3. How Erasmus ranks applicants is explained on our Rotterdam page.
It is a realistic target for many students: about half of AI HL candidates worldwide reached a 5 or higher in May 2025. A tutor finds where the marks are lost (often statistics questions answered without interpreting the result, or calculus left half-finished) and works on those with past papers. On average, Lanterna’s Maths AI students rose from 3.7 to 4.8; no tutor can promise a particular grade.
That is your school’s decision, and the earlier in DP1 it is raised, the easier it is. Delft and TU/e take only AA HL (our Maths AA page quotes both), so if either is on the list the switch is needed. A tutor can then cover the algebra, proof and calculus that AA expects and AI treats more lightly.
Each week your child and the tutor share a whiteboard by video, with your child’s own graphic display calculator to hand so the tutor can check keystrokes as well as method. Lessons are booked on Central European Time around the school timetable, whether your child is at school in Amsterdam, The Hague or elsewhere.
Explain a statistical test, help judge whether the data are fit for it and show how the criteria reward interpretation. Collecting the data, running the analysis and writing it up stay with your child; the IB’s limits are on our internal assessment page.
