The IB Diploma cohort in Sur itself is small — most IB DP families in Ash Sharqiyah South either send their child to board in Muscat (The Sultan's School, ABQ Education) or use online tuition from a Sur base. Where Sur does sit IB DP — typically a handful of Oman LNG and Petroleum Development Oman expat families transferring in mid-cycle — IB Computer Science HL is taken with one eye on SQU Petroleum/Chemical Engineering and the other on UK/Canadian admissions. Our IB Computer Science tutors are matched by HL/SL track and by the May session timeline, with the IA, EE and TOK essay framework worked into a Sur dhow-building town's reality: family weekends at Ras Al Hadd Turtle Reserve, Wadi Shab and Wadi Bani Khalid, plus shift-rota fathers at the Qalhat LNG plant. Lessons run in Oman time around the ~3-hour Ramadan timetable, Eid and Renaissance Day, so the May exam run-in stays intact.
Tell us what your child needs and we'll match a UK-qualified Computer Science specialist in Sur within 24 hours.
Exam boards we cover
HL Computer Science is the standard route for Sur Oman LNG and PDO expat families on IB DP transfer pathways into Muscat (The Sultan's School, ABQ) and back to UK/Canadian universities students targeting top medicine, engineering or quantitative university courses. Heavier content and a more demanding internal assessment.
SL Computer Science suits Sur Diploma students keeping a balanced six-subject load. Same internal assessment framework, lighter syllabus depth.
Syllabus coverage
Our IB Computer Science tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where Sur students most consistently lose marks.
Planning, system design and human-computer interaction.
CPU, memory, binary, hex and logic gates.
Network types, protocols, OSI model and security.
Algorithms, abstraction and Java programming.
Lists, stacks, queues, trees and recursion.
Annual IB CS HL case study — deep technical analysis.
Real-world client project, documentation and product.
IB Paper 1, 2 and case-study mark-scheme drilling.

What we fix
How we fix it:Sur's expat engineer parents at Oman LNG and the Qalhat plant — Indian, Pakistani, Filipino and Western contractors — push hard toward petroleum, chemical and computer engineering at SQU, IITs and UK Russell Group. We match Computer Science tutors who can connect the syllabus to that LNG-engineering pathway without burning the student out.
How we fix it:Sur International School (SUIS) and Sur Private School cluster their Cambridge mocks in January-February. We run a 6-8 week Computer Science mock-prep block on official past papers and examiner reports specific to the Cambridge code your child is sitting.
How we fix it:Ash Sharqiyah South simply does not have the in-person specialist tutor pool that Muscat does, and a 2.5-hour drive each way is not workable mid-week. Online 1-to-1 Computer Science tuition gives Sur families the same examiner-level specialist pool as a Muscat or London family.
How we fix it:Sur schools — SUIS, Sur Private, Indian School Sur, MKS Sur, PDO School Sur — all shorten the day during Ramadan, and Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, Renaissance Day (23 Jul) and Oman National Day (18 Nov) break the term. We back-plan Computer Science sessions around the published Oman calendar.
How we fix it:Sur sixth-formers split between Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Muscat, Sur University College for foundation, and UK Russell Group medicine/engineering. Our Computer Science tutors prep for the right pathway — SQU admissions tests, UCAS personal statements, BMAT/UCAT — not a generic syllabus run-through.
Why Combo Tutors
We match every Sur Computer Science student to a tutor who knows the SUIS and Sur Private School Cambridge schemes of work, the January-February mock window and the exact Cambridge IGCSE / A-Level code your child is sitting — not a generic Cambridge tutor pulled from a UK-only pool.
A Sur family does not need to drive 200km to Muscat or accept a non-specialist locally. Our online 1-to-1 Computer Science tutors are Cambridge / Edexcel / IB / College Board examiners and Russell Group / IIT graduates, scheduled in Oman time around the Ramadan and Eid calendar.
We schedule Computer Science sessions around the Qalhat LNG plant 12-hour shift rota, the Oman ~3-hour Ramadan timetable, Renaissance Day, National Day and the dual-application reality of SQU admissions plus UCAS — so the parent on shift never has to choose between work and their child's grade trajectory.
Mrs Fatma Al Hashar, parent
IB Computer Science · Sur International School (SUIS) · Ash Sharqiyah South · SQU offer
We are an Omani family in Sur and my daughter needed Cambridge Computer Science support that understood SUIS, not a generic UK tutor. Her IB grade moved from a C to an A* in two terms, and she has now accepted a place at Sultan Qaboos University.
Mr Vinod Krishnan, Oman LNG engineer
IB Computer Science · Sur Private School · Oman LNG family · Grade 9
I work 12-hour shifts at the Qalhat LNG plant, so a tutor who could schedule Computer Science around my rota and the Oman Ramadan timetable was non-negotiable. My son went from a 6 to a 9 in IB Computer Science at Sur Private School.
Mr Imran Pasha, Oman LNG contractor
IB Computer Science · Ahmed A., SUIS Year 13 → SQU Petroleum Engineering · Sur, Ash Sharqiyah South
Living in Sur, driving to Muscat for an A-Level Computer Science specialist was never realistic. Combo Tutors gave us a Cambridge examiner online, in Oman time, around Renaissance Day and the LNG-contractor calendar. My son is now reading Petroleum Engineering at SQU.
Sarah M.
Parent of IB Student · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
Parent of A-Level Student · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
Priya K.
Parent of GCSE Student · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
IB Computer Science in Sur
Sur International School (SUIS) sits Cambridge IB Computer Science, as does Sur Private School. We match a Cambridge-specialist tutor to the exact Computer Science syllabus code your child is on, and coordinate with the SUIS January-February mock window.
Yes — many Sur families have one child at Indian School Sur (CBSE) and another at SUIS or Sur Private School (Cambridge IB). We provide separate board-specialist Computer Science tutors per child, and can dual-track CBSE plus Cambridge IGCSE for students considering a transfer.
Most of our Sur IB Computer Science families have a parent on the Oman LNG / Qalhat plant 12-hour shift rota. We hold fixed weekly slots in Oman time (GMT+4), reschedule freely around shift swaps, and adapt the calendar for the Oman ~3-hour Ramadan timetable, Eid, Renaissance Day and Oman National Day.
Yes. A large share of Sur IB Computer Science students target SQU in Muscat — particularly Petroleum, Chemical and Computer Engineering — alongside Sur University College foundation and UK Russell Group. We prep the Computer Science content plus the SQU admissions standard and, where relevant, BMAT/UCAT and UCAS personal statements.
Yes. Whether your child is at SUIS, Sur Private School, Indian School Sur, MKS Sur or PDO School Sur, the Computer Science tutor aligns to that school's scheme of work and mock dates, and sends a weekly parent summary in English (and Arabic on request).
IB Computer Science tutoring for Sur families starts from OMR 18/hour. The first trial lesson is free, there is no minimum-term contract, and lessons are online 1-to-1 in Oman time so a 200km Muscat drive is never required.
