Why Lyra
Subjects, admissions, wellbeing — all in one place.
We are not a school — we are the one-stop tutoring company for International School & IB students (A-Level, AP and IGCSE included), run by alumni of those exact programs.
01TUTORS
Taught only by IB & International School graduates.
Every tutor scored 6 or higher (out of 7) in the subjects they teach. They lived the IA panic, the EE marathon, the mock exam grind — so they actually know how IB students think.
- Min 6/7 in every taught subject
- All tutors graduated IB or International School
- Matched by subject, level, and learning style
02FORMAT
100% online. 1-on-1. With school-grade slides.
Every session is delivered online, one-on-one, with PowerPoint decks built like real school materials. Sessions are recorded so students can review at any time.
- Google Meet + interactive whiteboard
- PowerPoint slides for every session
- Recordings + notes after class
03WELLBEING
Mental + university support, always on.
We sat the same exams and felt the same pressure — so wellbeing isn't an add-on, it's why we exist. Our dedicated university-support tutor is available for 1-on-1 wellbeing consultations anytime — applications, school stress, and everything in between. First consultation is free; thereafter at a heavily discounted rate.
- First wellbeing session free
- Discounted ongoing access
- Confidential · JP or EN

“
My Lyra tutor didn't just help with IB Biology HL — they made my schoolwork in general click. With their support through my university entrance exams, I went from a 5 to a 7 and got into Keio, my first choice.
“
After moving to an International School from a Japanese public school, school was hard because of my English. Lyra's 1-on-1 lessons helped me improve so much that now I genuinely enjoy school every day.
“
Over three years they helped me lift my grades and prepare for entrance exams. My tutors were patient and friendly, and never minded when I asked about the same topic again. I went from a 5 to a 7 and got into the University of Tokyo.
