Frequently asked questions

The tutor is based in Vietnam, teaches in English and supports both IB Chemistry SL and HL students.

IB Chemistry Standard Level I and Higher Level I begin on 1 October 2026. Scientific Investigation begins on 15 October 2026. Standard Level II and Higher Level II begin on 11 January 2027, followed by HL Exam Preparation on 15 February 2027 and SL Exam Preparation on 1 March 2027. Every published group intake now shows its fixed Vietnam-time timetable; individual tuition is arranged from the student’s availability.

Yes. Chemistry teaching is primarily in English, because this is the language students generally use for IB Chemistry materials and examinations.

Important course information and website navigation are also available in Vietnamese for students and parents.

Students may request any published course directly. No entry assessment or placement test is required, and every course begins from the foundations of its published sequence.

If you have questions about the level, timetable or format, the free consultation remains optional.

Support is organised by programme, examination-year syllabus version and level. IB uses SL and HL; Cambridge IGCSE uses Core and Extended; Cambridge 9701 uses AS and A Level. Questions, assignments and progress are not mixed across incompatible syllabus versions.

Students may choose directly from the published pathways. Every course begins from the foundations of its own published sequence.

Some pathways are designed for a specific level, while foundations and scientific-investigation support can help students across SL and HL.

All published times are shown in local time. A student needs a stable connection, a computer with camera and microphone, and a workspace where they can write and discuss their reasoning clearly. Exact requirements are checked before the first lesson.

Both options are available. Students can study online nationwide or attend an in-person intake in Huế, Da Nang or Hoi An when that service area is confirmed.

The curriculum, assignments and learning-platform access remain consistent across delivery formats. Exact meeting details are shared privately with authorised students and families.

Only selected IB Chemistry options are taught in person in Da Nang when published. Selecting Huế or Hội An records interest only and does not guarantee a class, venue or timetable. Cambridge IGCSE and AS & A Level tuition is online one-to-one only.

Group programmes are limited to a maximum of 8 students.

Keeping groups small makes it possible to involve students actively in problem-solving and to identify individual misunderstandings rather than deliver the course as a lecture.

Course templates can run more than once. Check the course-dates page or email ChemistryTutor.vn for current availability, schedules and fees.

Group courses follow a structured programme and provide interaction with other IB Chemistry students.

Individual tuition covers the same academic standard but allows the pace, question selection, explanations and assignments to be adapted much more closely to one student’s needs. It is particularly useful for specific gaps, unusual school schedules or a short-term examination target.

Choose a published course and send a place request. The free consultation is optional for questions about the timetable, format or tuition.

Yes. Students enrolled in relevant programmes receive structured practice using past-paper and examination-style questions through the Chemistry Tutor learning platform.

Questions can be selected by topic, level, paper and question type.

No. A student may enrol directly without an entry assessment. Every course begins from the foundations of its published sequence; the timetable, tuition and written terms are provided before payment.

The tutor checks timetable and capacity, then confirms the programme, schedule, tuition, deposit and refund conditions in writing. The website does not collect payment, and a submitted request does not mean that a place is already held.

If ChemistryTutor.vn cannot confirm the group cohort on the agreed schedule, a deposit received for that cohort is refunded. Rescheduling, transfers, cancellation and missed-lesson arrangements follow the Enrolment Terms supplied before payment.

If the student or parent is not satisfied after the first week, 100% of the amount paid will be refunded, with no reason required.

No. These programmes are specialist supplementary tuition designed to work alongside a student’s IB Chemistry course at school.

They strengthen understanding, close knowledge gaps, provide additional practice and prepare students systematically for assessment.

Yes, but assignments are targeted rather than simply large. Exercises are selected according to the topic being studied and, where appropriate, the mistakes a student has made previously.

Exam-preparation courses generally involve a greater independent workload than foundation courses.

Only data needed for enrolment, teaching, feedback and account support is collected. A parent can remain the primary contact; AI does not remove access to human tutor review. Students and parents can request access, correction or deletion under the Privacy Policy.

No. Outcomes depend on the starting point, participation, assignments, school context and the examination. Progress is measured through repaired errors, assessment skills, quality of reasoning and increasing independence—not a promised grade.
