Sarah K
Professional
United Kingdom

Over the last twenty years I have gained significant classroom and management experience at several State, Grammar and Independent Schools. I have been out of the classroom environment recently but continue to keep up to date with Education Policy and support students away from the school environment via home tutoring.

I am an experienced teacher with a passion towards my subject and have a great desire that all pupils across the ability range are inspired by Science; there is no greater job satisfaction for me than when that inspiration leads to students excelling in examinations or pursuing a career in medicine. As Head of Biology at Kingston Grammar School I managed a team of four experienced teachers- as well as being actively involved in the overall management of the Science department.

I was successful in improving both A-Level and GCSE results year on year. I was responsible for co-ordinating Community Service placements for students in the wider community. I also worked closely with Brunel University with their PGCE programme and was part of a team inspected by OFSTED and I was awarded as ‘outstanding’ in my mentoring work with PGCE students at Kingston Grammar.

Whilst my teaching specialism is Biology I have also taught Chemistry and Physics at key stage three, four and A Level. I have a broad knowledge of the science curriculum and how it fits in to schools academic policies and wider educational policies. I also have a good understanding of International Baccalaureate programs and Vocational courses. I have written schemes of work and working policies for a department as well as full risk assessments for practical work. I also have experience of intake of student new to a school be it a state school or an 11+ or Common Entrance at 13+. I have administered 11+ and 13+ examinations as well as being part of a team of interviewers assessing a student’s suitability for the school.

TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take my word for it

Mia had always struggled with Maths, so for her final year of school, we reached out to Top IB Tutors to arrange a tutor. The tutor worked closely with Mia, coordinating schedules that suited them both. The tutor was consistently punctual and provided invaluable support, helping Mia build her confidence in Maths. Mia was incredibly grateful to have this guidance throughout her final year in the IB, and the improvement in her results was clear.

Melbourne, Australia
I got tutors from Top IB Tutors in the final six months before my exams for Maths and Chemistry. Every session was extremely organised and professional. They helped me get organised for my exams and taught me content that I had forgotten or did not understand. I was incredibly happy with my scores in the end and eternally grateful to my tutors who helped me!

I was very determined to get a good study score for Maths AA HL. However, I needed a tutor to help me get through the IB. I had sessions weekly with my tutor from Top IB Tutors. Every week we worked through problems that I did not understand. This was super helpful for me as I felt super comfortable with any sort of question they would ask in the exam. In the end, I did super well in Maths AA HL, and I have to thank my tutor for helping me get there.

What topics are covered in IB Chemistry?

IB Chemistry investigates the composition, structure, and properties of matter, and how substances interact.

Core topics include:

Atomic Structure: Models of the atom, isotopes, and electron configurations.

Structure and Bonding: Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds, and molecular geometry.

Stoichiometry: Chemical equations, mole concepts, and reacting masses.

Energetics and Thermochemistry: Enthalpy changes, calorimetry, and Hess's Law.

Kinetics: Collision theory and factors affecting reaction rates.

Equilibrium: Dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier’s principle, and acid-base reactions.

Redox Processes: Oxidation states and electrochemical cells.

Organic Chemistry: Functional groups, reaction pathways, and spectroscopy.

HL includes deeper exploration of quantum mechanics, transition metals, and advanced calculations.

Is IB Chemistry hard?

IB Chemistry is considered challenging due to its theoretical and quantitative depth. It requires understanding abstract concepts, strong math skills, and experimental proficiency. It’s particularly demanding at HL but highly rewarding for science-focused students.

What is the structure of the IB Chemistry exams?

Standard Level (SL):

Paper 1 (1 hour): Multiple choice (30 marks).

Paper 2 (1 hour 15 minutes): Short-answer and extended-response questions (50 marks).

Paper 3 (1 hour): Data-based and experimental design questions (35 marks).

Higher Level (HL):

Paper 1 (1 hour): Multiple choice (40 marks).

Paper 2 (2 hours 15 minutes): Short-answer and extended-response questions (90 marks).

Paper 3 (1 hour 15 minutes): Data-based and additional HL topic questions (45 marks).

Our tutors offer tailored exam practice and strategies for success in each paper.

What is the Internal Assessment for Chemistry

The Internal Assessment is a student-designed investigation exploring a research question through experimentation and data analysis. It includes planning, data collection, processing, and evaluation. This counts for 20% of the final grade at both SL and HL. Our tutors support students in designing rigorous experiments, analyzing data, and refining scientific communication.

How does IB Chemistry tutoring work?

Tutors assess the student's conceptual understanding and problem areas. Lessons then focus on reinforcing core topics, practicing quantitative problems, and applying scientific methods. IA guidance includes research design, execution, and refinement. Tutors also prepare students for past-paper performance and experimental design questions.

Why should you get a tutor for IB Chemistry?

Tutors clarify difficult topics like chemical bonding, reaction mechanisms, and equilibrium. They provide structured practice in calculations and data analysis, and support students with experimental planning for the IA. Tutoring also prepares students for careers in health, engineering, and natural sciences.Personalized tutoring improves comprehension, confidence, and exam readiness.
