[The opening messages are deliberately blurred in the original.] I am so disappointed. I will always be cheering you on!
Oh, is that what happened? That is such a shame. The student works so hard and is very bright. They are a student who does well with encouragement. I think they will do well at university too. Thank you so much for everything. I will write another post about them next time. Thank you!

These are messages from parents whose children have finished IB Chemistry lessons. Receiving them makes me feel both sad to part and deeply rewarded.
Thank you. When I am tutoring someone one-to-one, I think about how helpful it was to learn from you. It makes me wish I could have got a 7. Please keep helping me through to the end. Thank you!
Yes. You always work hard, so I expect good results. It is so nice to have a student like you.

Many parents are disappointed that the IB exams aren't taking place this time. We prepared so hard,
so it seems a shame not to take the exam.
Hello, teacher! Could I take IB Chemistry lessons? [The middle of this message is deliberately blurred in the original.] I am also wondering whether there is much difference between Chemistry SL and HL. Thank you!

As one group finishes, another begins preparing.
The student above attends GSIS in Suwon. Many people ask about IB Chemistry, and most
are students about to enter Year 1.
There are other inquiries too.
Students entering Year 2 ask about exams and the IA.
Teacher, why is this answer wrong? [Shares a chemistry question.]
[Several replies are deliberately blurred in the original.] I think it is correct.
I will email it to you.

This student says they will email because an answer they believe is correct was marked wrong.
There has been lots of speculation about the online exam, but College Board says it will follow the same question style as previous exams. I am working through several sets of past papers, and that is the best approach. But no matter how well I teach, studying independently is always the most important part. The best way to check that is to handwrite the answers on blank paper and bring them. [The final message is blurred in the original.]
Then that is a relief. The student says they cannot get started on blank paper... I cannot tell whether they are studying on their own.

They have the ability and can identify nearly all the key points, but I worry when students haven't practiced writing enough, so I press them to do so.
Recently, SAT, AP, IA, and IB Chemistry preparation have all overlapped, making me very busy. I need to gather my energy and keep working hard.
