Nice has one school offering the IB Diploma Programme (DP): the International School of Nice, which also runs the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP), so students can follow the IB continuum from primary school to the Diploma. It is the only DP school on the Côte d'Azur listed by the IB. The region's international population, linked in part to the Sophia Antipolis technology park and to tourism and services, means classes bring together many nationalities and languages.
Where students need support
With a single DP school, there is no local alternative for families looking for extra subject support, and students who join the IB from another system have to adapt quickly. Students from the French system often need help with criterion-based writing in English, Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay, while those arriving from British schools after GCSE or IGCSE must get used to six subjects and frequent internal assessments. Choosing Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL) subjects also deserves careful thought.
How we help
Axiom Academic supports IB students in Nice with tutors who know both French and IB expectations. Sessions are available in person in Nice and online, which gives access to specialist tutors in every subject, wherever the family lives on the coast.

Our tutors2 answersHow do you select your tutors?
Every tutor goes through a rigorous screening process: degree and qualification checks, a one-to-one interview with our academic team, and an assessment of their teaching experience. Only qualified and motivated educators join our network. Our IB tutors range from recent IB graduates to experienced teachers, IB examiners and PhD holders, all specialists of their subject.
How are tutors matched with students?
Your advisor selects one or more tutors suited to your child's profile (subject, programme, level, location) and sends you their profiles by WhatsApp and email. Each profile presents the tutor, their subjects, qualifications, usual availability and reviews from families. You make the choice: click I choose this teacher, or This teacher is not the right fit to tell your advisor. See the full guide
Getting started3 answersHow do I request a tutor?
Fill in a short online request with the subject, curriculum, student level and your availability: an education advisor then contacts you on WhatsApp. You also receive the email "Request received at Axiom Academic", with the Complete my request button to tell us who the lessons are for, your goals and your availability. You then follow your request in your family space on MyAxiom, the platform of Axiom Academic, which IB Tutor is part of. See the full guide
What happens during the first lesson?
The first lesson is paid online before it takes place, as a single lesson with no commitment. During this first lesson, the tutor gets to know the student, assesses their level and needs, and proposes a personalised study plan. It is covered by our guarantee, satisfied or refunded: if the tutor is not the right fit, your advisor suggests another tutor or refunds the first lesson. After the lesson, an email asks for your feedback and whether you want to continue with this tutor. See the full guide
Is there a minimum number of hours?
No, there is no minimum commitment: the first lesson is paid as a single lesson. After that, your advisor offers you hour packs (for example 10, 20 or 30 hours) at a better rate, or you can simply top up your account with 1 to 9 hours at the standard rate. A pack is tied to one course, meaning one subject with its tutor. See the full guide
Progress & scheduling3 answersHow can I track my child's progress?
After a lesson, the tutor writes a lesson report: what was covered, what is now solid, what to revisit and what comes next. You receive it in full by email and can find it in your family space, My lessons tab, Reports view. The report is optional for the tutor: if you would like one after every lesson, tell your advisor. See the full guide
Where can I see the lesson schedule?
In your family space, My lessons tab, shown in your time zone; the home page also shows your next lesson. Your tutor schedules the lessons: you receive a message whenever a lesson is added, moved or cancelled, and a reminder the day before. To suggest a slot, click Request a lesson in My lessons: the tutor confirms it before it is locked in. See the full guide
How do I reschedule or cancel a lesson?
In My lessons, click the upcoming lesson, then Request a change: choose Request a new time or Request cancellation, write a message to the tutor and click Send request. Your tutor makes the change in their agenda, and the lesson stays as is until they answer. Please give at least 6 hours' notice before the lesson starts: later than that, the lesson hours may be lost. See the full guide
Pricing & payment5 answersHow are rates set?
Rates depend on the student's level, the subject, and the tutor's profile. You will know the exact rate before the first lesson, no surprises.
How do I pay?
Everything is paid online, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, on a payment page that opens without a password. The first lesson is paid before it takes place, from the profile of the tutor you chose or from the email "Your first lesson with... is ready". After that, you buy an hour pack or top up your account from the Payments tab of your family space, or through the link your advisor sends you. Nothing is ever charged automatically: you always confirm each payment yourself. See the full guide
Is payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by our certified payment providers, Mamo (UAE) or Airwallex (other countries). Your card details are held by that provider, never by Axiom Academic, including when you save a card to pay in one click. You can remove a saved card at any time in Account settings, "Payments" section. See the full guide
Where can I check my hours, my account and my receipts?
In the Payments tab of your family space: "My hour packs" shows the hours left and used, "My account" shows your credit or any amount to settle, and "My receipts" lists every payment. Each payment also gives you a receipt by email, which you can print or save as a PDF. A receipt is not an invoice: if you need an invoice, write to your advisor. See the full guide
Can I get a refund?
For the first lesson, our guarantee satisfied or refunded applies: write directly to your advisor. For an hour pack, open Account settings, "Payments" section, and click Request an hour pack refund. Your advisor contacts you to review the request with you: nothing is refunded automatically. See the full guide
My account3 answersWhere can I update my personal information?
Click your avatar at the top of the screen, then Account settings: the "Personal information" section lets you change your name, phone number and address. Please update your address when you move, as this is where your tutor comes. Your email address is the one of your account and requests: to change it, write to your advisor. Language and time zone are set on the same page. See the full guide
How do I navigate my family space?
Your family space on MyAxiom, Axiom Academic's platform, has four tabs: Home (next lesson, hours left, your tutors), My requests, My lessons (lessons and reports) and Payments (packs, account and receipts). Account settings open from your avatar. The first time you sign in, MyAxiom asks for your language, French or English, then gives you a five-step tour of your space. See the full guide
I forgot my password, what should I do?
MyAxiom does not use passwords. On the sign-in page, enter the email address of your request and click Send my code (or Continue with Google), then copy the 6-digit code you receive by email. The code is valid for one hour and can only be used once; if it does not arrive, check your spam folder, then click Send a new code. See the full guide

Joining IB Tutor3 answersHow do I become a tutor at IB Tutor?
Send your application through our form: our team reviews it and gets back to you. Everything then happens on MyAxiom, the platform of Axiom Academic, which IB Tutor is part of: you sign in with the same email address as your application, with no password, using a 6-digit code sent by email. Your advisor publishes your profile on the website once it is complete. See the full guide
What should I fill in on my profile?
Open the My profile tab: the "Improve my profile" page has six tabs, Photo, Identity, About you, Subjects, Qualifications and Rates. The score "The 12 criteria that make the difference" shows what is missing; the most important are the photo, the detailed presentation, at least one subject, the headline, teaching experience, teaching methods and at least one qualification. Write each text in one language only, French or English: it is translated automatically. Your bank details are entered separately, in Account settings, "Payouts" section. See the full guide
Why is my profile not online yet?
Your advisor publishes your profile on the website when it is ready: at the very least, it needs one subject and a detailed presentation of at least 100 characters. On your home page, your profile block says "Profile visible" or "Profile not published". Once your profile is online, changes to your texts wait for your advisor's review, and your profile stays online in its current version meanwhile. See the full guide
Finding students2 answersHow am I matched with students?
When a family is looking for a profile like yours, your advisor offers you the course: you receive the email "New course offer", and the offer shows in the Offers tab. It shows the subject, level, format, the student's first name, the city and the family's availability. Tick your time slots, enter your rate, then click I apply, Not available or I decline. The same offer can go to several tutors: the family chooses, with your advisor. See the full guide
How does the first lesson with a student work?
If the family chooses you, you receive an email announcing it, with the first lesson and your rate. The family pays for this first lesson online before it takes place: until then, the offer says "Waiting for the family's payment" and you do not see their name or phone number. As soon as they pay, their name, their phone number with a WhatsApp link and, for an in-person lesson, the address are shown, and the first lesson appears in your agenda. See the full guide
Managing lessons4 answersWhere can I see my schedule?
Open the Agenda tab: the "My agenda" page has three views, "Week", "Agenda" and "Courses". In the "Courses" view, each course sorts its lessons into "To validate", "Upcoming", "Past" and "Cancelled". A course only appears in your agenda once the family has paid for the first lesson; until then, you follow it in the Offers tab. See the full guide
How do I validate a lesson I gave?
Open the past lesson in your Agenda (it is marked "To validate"), click The lesson took place, check the actual duration, then click Validate the lesson. You can also validate without signing in, from the email "Your lesson has ended: validate it in one click". A lesson that is not validated is not paid; if the lesson did not happen, click It did not take place. See the full guide
How do I schedule, move or cancel a lesson?
You put the lessons in your agenda yourself: Agenda tab, Schedule a lesson, then choose the course, One-off or Weekly, the date, time and duration. To change an upcoming lesson, open it and click Move or Cancel lesson. The family is notified of every change; they do not edit your agenda, but send you a request to reschedule or cancel. You enter the time in your own time zone, and the family reads it in theirs. See the full guide
I gave a lesson I had not scheduled, what should I do?
Add it after the fact: Agenda tab, Schedule a lesson, choose the course then One-off, and enter the date, time and duration of the lesson. If you add it less than seven days after the lesson, you then validate it like any other lesson; beyond that, your advisor confirms with the family that it took place. First check that the lesson is not already waiting under "To validate", so it is not counted twice. See the full guide
Reports & documents2 answersWhere can I find my lesson reports?
Each report sits under its lesson: in the Agenda tab, "Courses" view, under each past lesson. You can write it when validating the lesson, or later with Write the report, then correct it with Edit the report: the family always sees the latest version. They receive it by email and read it in their space; for a message the family should not see, use Note for the advisor. See the full guide
Where do I add my qualifications?
In the My profile tab, "Improve my profile" page, Qualifications tab, then click Save. At least one qualification is among the most important criteria of your profile score, and your qualification must match what you teach. Subjects and qualifications are saved without your advisor's review. See the full guide
Payment & account4 answersWhere can I see my payment details?
From your first validated lesson, the amount of your earnings shows at the top of your space: click it to open "My earnings". You will see "Already paid out", "Transfer in progress" and "Earned, not yet paid", and the "See my payouts" button lists them one by one. Every validated lesson is paid to you: your hourly rate multiplied by the validated duration. See the full guide
When am I paid?
Your validated hours are grouped by month and paid out to you every month, by bank transfer. Once the transfer has left, allow up to 5 business days to receive it, with no fees. A lesson that is not validated is not paid: remember to validate every lesson you give. See the full guide
How do I update my bank details?
Open your account menu, then Account settings, "Payouts" section, and click Add a payout method. Choose the country of your bank, enter the account holder and your bank details (IBAN and SWIFT/BIC, or account number depending on the country), then click Submit. To switch accounts, add a new payout method and set it as default: the account marked "DEFAULT" receives the payouts. See the full guide
How do I update my personal information?
Your profile is edited in the My profile tab, "Improve my profile" page (Photo, Identity, About you, Subjects, Qualifications and Rates tabs), then Save. Languages, rates and contact details are saved without review; on a profile already online, your texts wait for your advisor's review. The language of your space and your time zone are set in Account settings. See the full guide
