Our IB Physics Preparation Program is specially designed to supplement IB students when they are in either Year 1 or Year 2. This program aims to equip students with strong Physics concepts as well as key exam skills through 1-to-1 Individual lessons.
On average, students should spend at least 2 hours on Physics preparation every week for 2 years. The lesson duration is flexible and varies according to individual needs. Different objectives are set accordingly and is divided into 3 stages to ensure the students are thoroughly prepared throughout the 2 years. Rest assured that our veteran IB trainers are there every step of the way to guide you through this important academic period.
At the start of the program, students will be given a general assessment by the trainer to figure out their current capability. The program will then be customised to better meet the students’ needs. Students are then introduced to the new year concepts and refresh the fundamentals they must already have a mastery of.
Focusing on skills and application, our experienced trainers will walk you through the key concepts as well as applications in examples so that you will have a deeper understanding and apply what you have mastered during exams!
Students work on difficult problems, practice past IB papers under exam condition, while honing their understanding of the IB scoring rubric and testing taking skills.
