How does scheduling work across time zones?

Our tutors and students are based all over the world, so scheduling across time zones is something we handle every day — and it's more straightforward than it sounds.

You and your tutor simply agree a time that works for both of you. Because lessons are online, your tutor's location is never a barrier — it just means you have access to the very best IB tutors, wherever they are.

When a lesson is booked, you'll see the date and time in the Portal so you can confirm it against your own local time. A couple of quick tips:

• Always double-check the time zone when you agree a slot, so you and your tutor are picturing the same moment.
• Take extra care around daylight-saving changes, when clocks shift in some countries but not others.

And if you travel — on holiday, or moving between home and school — your lessons continue online exactly as normal. You just agree a time that fits wherever you happen to be.

Next step: Confirm the time zone with your tutor whenever you book. If a time ever looks wrong in the Portal, message us on live chat or email tutoring@lanterna.com.
