Use these signals to check whether this is the right next step or whether another route would be more useful.
A good fit if
HL students with secure structural, energetic, algebraic and equilibrium foundations
Students who have completed HL I or equivalent school coverage
Consider another route if
This is content-development tuition, not a last-minute substitute for the full HL course. Students may join directly; HL I and one-to-one tuition remain available as alternatives.
No entry assessment is required. Students may enrol directly, and the course begins from the foundations of its published sequence.

How the course begins
Begin with the foundations of the published course sequence
Build the required calculations and explanations during the course
Commit to the live lessons and independent practice
Expected change
Interpret kinetic data and rate expressions
Use quantitative equilibrium and acid-base reasoning
Explain electrochemical and electrolytic processes
Construct organic mechanisms with precise chemical language
Tackle integrated HL reactivity questions
How the programme adapts
Identify. Understand. Apply. Track.
Each cycle uses new evidence to decide what the student should work on next.
1
Identify
Find the immediate gap or recurring error.
Example in this programmeBegin with the foundations of the published course sequence
2
Understand
Build the chemical explanation behind the topic.
Example in this programmeConstraining a mechanism with kinetic evidence
3
Apply
Use the understanding in IB-style work.
Example in this programmeInterpret kinetic data and rate expressions
4
Track
Record progress and define the next priority.
Example in this programmeSubmitted work is normally returned within three working days.
TEACHING EXAMPLE
Constraining a mechanism with kinetic evidence
Incomplete response A plausible-looking sequence of reaction steps.
Developed response Use the experimental rate law to determine which species must influence the slow step, then reject mechanisms whose elementary-step prediction conflicts with that evidence.
Week 1 — Retrieving Structure foundations and describing reactions quantitatively
Week 2 — Enthalpy, energy cycles and bond enthalpies
Week 3 — Entropy, Gibbs energy and spontaneity
Week 4 — Advanced kinetics and rate equations
Week 5 — Reaction mechanisms and activation energy
Week 6 — Quantitative equilibrium and coupled systems
Week 7 — Advanced acid–base equilibria, buffers and titrations
Week 8 — Redox systems and standard electrode potentials
Week 9 — Electrolysis and quantitative electrochemistry
Week 10 — Electron-pair transfer mechanisms
Week 11 — Multi-step organic pathways and synthesis
Week 12 — Integrating Reactivity 1–3 in HL problems
Practice, feedback and parent visibility
Submitted work is normally returned within three working days. Feedback marks the point at which the reasoning broke down and turns recurring errors into later practice.
The student receives
Focused assignments between live lessons
Human feedback linked to the first broken reasoning step
A clear next practice priority in the learning space
A parent can see
Attendance and completion patterns
Recurring error areas and current priorities
A concise progress summary at agreed checkpoints
Workload and attendance
Allow about 3–4 hours each week for independent practice and correction.
When an enrolled student gives notice that they will miss a class, a private catch-up video is offered with the materials and catch-up priority. This is either the lesson recording where consent and format allow, or a tutor-recorded recap. A missed group lesson is not automatically replaced one-to-one.
Questions about this programme
Does the course require an entry assessment?
No. Students may enrol directly without an entry assessment. The course begins from the foundations of its published sequence.
Are lessons recorded?
Yes—a private catch-up video is offered when an enrolled student gives notice that they will miss a class. Where the lesson format and participant consent allow, this is the lesson recording; otherwise the tutor provides a focused recorded recap. Access is limited to the relevant enrolled student or cohort.
