What makes Lanterna the best choice for IB Computer Science?

We have specialised only in the IB since 2004 and supported 15,000+ students, with a 4.7 Trustpilot rating. For Computer Science that means a tutor matched to your level and goals, proven exam technique, and a plan built around you rather than a generic course.

How does Lanterna's free consultation work?

It is a no obligation call where we learn about your subjects, goals and where you are stuck. We then recommend the right Computer Science specialist and build a personalised plan, whether that is exam preparation, IA support or longer-term help.

How much does IB Computer Science tutoring cost?

Lanterna packages start from around £58 per hour, depending on tutor tier and package length. We offer Standard (3 to 15 hours), Multi (30 to 80 hours) and Flex (90 to 180 hours) options, and your free consultation helps identify the right fit.

Can Lanterna help with the Computer Science IA?

Yes. The computational solution (IA) is one of the most common reasons families come to us. Our tutors guide the problem, design and development so students meet the criteria, without doing the work for them.

My tutor, Aamukta, was really good at explaining.

2025 | Durham University

COMPUTER SCIENCE🇬🇧 The Abbey School

My tutor, Aamukta Maalyada Dahagam, provided great help with my IA; she gave me good advice on how I could incorporate more OOP elements to meet the criteria better but not too much to overcomplicate the project. She took me from unorganised code plans to code that was actually organised and structured. Throughout the IA process she also explained what the errors meant which has now helped me to understand errors independently after taking my IB exams. Also, my OOP skills and definitions of key terms greatly improved and impressed my teacher with my progress and developed my confidence in the subject. Due to this, I was given a reward from my teacher for my improvement which I credit her for helping me.
