Private IB Chemistry Tutors

Lina graduated from the University of Wollongong with both a BSc and MSc in Chemistry, achieving a High Distinction average. She began her career working in the pharmaceutical industry, where she applied her chemistry knowledge in a real-world setting before transitioning into education. Since 2004, Lina has been a dedicated chemistry educator with extensive experience teaching international curricula including IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge AS Level, Cambridge A Level, International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (HL/SL), and Advanced Placement Chemistry.

With over two decades of teaching experience, Lina has developed an extensive collection of resources and exam-focused materials to help students master challenging concepts and perform confidently in their assessments.

Lina’s teaching philosophy focuses on helping students understand the “why behind the why” so they truly grasp concepts rather than memorizing them blindly. Her lessons typically begin by checking students’ prior understanding, followed by clear modeling of concepts, guided practice, and finally independent problem-solving. She also provides additional practice questions for students to work on outside lesson time to reinforce learning.

Because chemistry can be highly abstract, Lina emphasizes visual explanations and real-world connections to make ideas clearer and more intuitive. She creates a supportive and safe learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and building confidence in their abilities.

Outside of teaching, Lina enjoys traveling and staying active through outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and jogging.

Louise is an experienced teacher and tutor with 13+ years of experience with the IB. She has consistently assisted students in attaining 6/7 in Biology SL and HL and is well-versed in supporting students writing IAs, ecology based projects in particular. In addition she has supervised several candidates in completing a World Studies EE with Biology as one of the subject lenses with 100% of students attaining A-C.

At university Louise initially began studying Biochemistry but quickly realised that Microbiology was a bigger passion. She therefore has an excellent understanding of metabolic processes that students tend to find tricky. Her PhD in life sciences demonstrates that she understands the research process and is able to pass these skills onto her students.

Finally, Louise's teaching qualification was attained at the University of Oxford meaning that she is equipped with teaching skills that will allow her to get the best from her students. Her approach is to work with students with empathy and an open mind so that students grow in confidence and feel that they can achieve more than they previously thought possible.

I am Majid S, Chemistry Teacher in the German International School Beirut. I have 30 years of experience in teaching Chemistry for students at the Secondary level (Grades 10, 11 and 12). I have a great passion for Chemistry to help students build their skills and confidence.

I am fond of Computer Programming and I have advanced skills in the use of Technology in Teaching.

I teach IB Chemistry courses at SL and HL and I am an IB Examiner in the International Baccalaureate Organization. I mark IA Lab Reports and Paper Examinations (Paper 1B and Paper 2).

If students need any assistance in any topic, I am ready to assist them in solving any issue. Chemistry is easy and fun and once learnt in the proper way, it will be more appreciated and the performance will be better.

I am ready to assist students in learning, understanding and advancing their skills in Chemistry while enjoying Chemistry as a Scientific Discipline through Interactive Learning Sessions.
