    Course overview

    What Is IB Bio SL?

    IB Biology Standard Level is a two-year science course covering the core biological principles every DP student needs — from molecular and cellular biology to genetics, ecology, evolution, and human physiology. SL students sit Papers 1 and 2 plus a Paper 3 with experimental data analysis, and complete a 10-page Internal Assessment worth 20% of the final grade. The course rewards conceptual understanding, command-term precision, and structured scientific writing.

    Who is it for?
    DP1 and DP2 students taking Biology at Standard Level — especially future medicine, dentistry, biotech and life-sciences applicants who need a 6 or 7 for university offers.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Biology mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $15/hour.
