CHEM / BIOL / PHYS / MATHS / CHINESE

The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) in Chemistry and Biology is an intensive and fast-paced program, in which tremendous amounts of concepts and topics are covered within two years of teaching in school📚. Hence, we’ve often heard from students that their school teachers are covering topics too fast or skipping chapters without much explanation. To provide the ultimate solution, we offer IAs, EEs and the core curriculum with the option to finish in just 16 months🏃.

Whether it’s an IB bio tutor or one of our IB chem tutors, we focus on two main directions to ensure each and every one of our IB students receive top grades from their public exam.

• Covering the topics early in advance ✍️ - during your first lesson, we will develop a better understanding of your level and performance. After this, we’ll plan a timeline tailored to your progress. We first confirm the topics you might not be comfortable with, and then we cover the remaining upcoming chapters ahead of your school. This leaves us with adequate time to prepare for your exam. We aim to finish the whole IB curriculum by the beginning of the second year (~ Year II October).
• Analyzing past exam papers 📐 - with early completion of the curriculum, we can begin work on past papers ahead of your school. An interesting fact about IB is that it is very common to see the same question repeatedly appearing in the past exam papers. Hence, the earlier we start practicing and the more papers we go through, we are no further from securing a "7" for your IB Chemistry class and/or IB Biology class.

Attain the perfect IB chemistry tutor HK with Tuttee. Chemistry is similar to Mathematics. It requires students to have a very clear conceptual understanding, and to then be able to explain the principle behind every chemical reaction💥.

Cramping doesn't work. Therefore, our approach is "Understanding rather than memorizing" 💡.

From several years of marking papers, we observed that exam questions are often within the box; not many variations and repeated questions. To achieve a "7" in chemistry, it’s more a matter of how familiarized you are with the concepts and how quickly you can answer these questions. Therefore, our approach here is - "first master the concept and you’ll be prepared for the exam ✒️"

"Chemistry's concepts are difficult and abstract, but the questions are straightforward in the exam. In reverse, biology's concepts are straight forward, but the questions are difficult and abstract."

The tricky part is establishing an answering technique. What we often hear most from our students is "I understand the topic, I memorize everything but I cannot get marks from my answers". This is true. A biology exam is like an English writing exam. You need to demonstrate your understanding to a marker by using specific keywords.🎯

We are markers. We know what terms shall be used to answer, and what phrases are needed.
