Frequently asked questions

The appropriate programme depends on the student’s current IB level, the topics already covered at school, their confidence with chemistry and their immediate goal.

If you are not sure, you do not need to choose alone. A short diagnostic assessment or conversation can identify a suitable course or individual plan before enrolment.

Each city has its own availability, travel and venue policy. A city preference is recorded when enquiring. Exact meeting details are shared only with enrolled families; online tuition remains available nationwide.

Students can send a question directly through the learning platform. Where possible, it is linked to the exact topic, assignment or exercise so the context is clear when the tutor responds.

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.

Yes. The next course intake begins on 15 September 2026.

The exact weekly timetable depends on the course and class format and is confirmed before enrolment.

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.

Group programmes are limited to a maximum of 10 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.

All published times are Vietnam time (UTC+7). 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The learning platform records completed assignments, responses and performance across different chemistry topics.

This allows lessons and practice to focus on specific weaknesses rather than a general impression of how a student is doing. Students can also see their own assignments, feedback, upcoming lessons and topic-level progress.

The programme provides structured teaching plus individual consultations. Students receive guidance on research questions, methodology, data analysis, uncertainty, conclusions and evaluation.

The investigation must remain the student’s own work. The programme does not fabricate results or write sections for submission.

Before a programme is confirmed, the tutor reviews the student’s goal, prerequisite knowledge and a short sample of their reasoning to identify a suitable starting point. Its scope, duration and any charge are confirmed in advance; submitting a place request does not create a fee.

The tutor checks fit, 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.

For group classes, the programme continues according to the published timetable. Students retain access to the relevant materials, notes and assigned work, and should contact the tutor as soon as possible if they expect to be absent.

For individual tuition, rescheduling may be possible with sufficient notice and subject to timetable availability.

Late entry depends on remaining places and whether the student has sufficient prior knowledge to join without being disadvantaged.

A short diagnostic assessment may be recommended before admission to a course that has already begun.

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.
