Free IB Chemistry Lessons and Recent Student Messages—Thank You!

I'm sharing a good result from a youth academic competition involving Chemistry and Biology.

Parent

Thanks to you, my child’s report passed the preliminary round last time. Thank you.

Teacher

Oh! It passed the preliminary round? You finished it in just four days! Congratulations on passing.

A science report prepared in four days passed the preliminary round.

After passing the preliminaries, the student received a Scholar Award. It's very rewarding. Thank you.

Since entering pharmacy school, my child gets 100 on every test, especially the chemistry-related ones.

Teacher

Haha! Yes. I’m delighted too.

Parent

It is thanks to you.

Teacher

Thank you. It makes teaching feel worthwhile.

Parent

My child is doing well at the top of the class. Thanks to your chemistry teaching, university life seems easier. Thank you so much.

Teacher

Thank you for sending me a message like this.

Thank you so much. This student messaged to say they were getting 100 on every exam. They hadn't been especially interested in Chemistry,

but developed a strong interest through the lessons, haha.

I think they lived in the Philippines or Thailand, but I can't remember at this moment.

Parent

Hello, teacher.

Teacher

Hello!

Parent

I’m not sure whether my child mentioned this, but there were two assessed chemistry tests instead of a midterm. My child did well in both and got 100s. It is all thanks to you.

The school uses performance assessments. Hearing that the student got 100 on the school exam makes me very happy.

Thank you so much. It makes me happy even reading it again. This student lives in China.

Student

Teacher, I got 97! It was the highest score in my year. Haha.

Teacher

That’s incredible!

Student

The average for this unit was lower than for the previous one. Today, the teacher explained the most frequently missed answers, using my paper to go through them.

Teacher

Haha, amazing! Well done!

Student

The student above lives in Indonesia.

I'm delighted that they do well on every exam. Academic competition in Indonesia is intense too,

so I'm relieved the results are good, haha.

I got a 7 for SL!

Teacher

Great!

Student

Teacher, my HL paper score came out, but there is a problem.

Teacher

Why? Haha.

Student

I didn’t get any wrong. Haha.

Teacher

Wow, was it 100?

Student

Yes, haha.

Teacher

That’s crazy! Congratulations!

This student lives in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Thank you for earning 100 on the exam! They're diligent and dependable in their studies.

How have you been, teacher? All the university results came out today. After a lot of thought, I decided to go to HASS at Yonsei. Now that admissions are really finished, I thought of you first and wanted to say thank you. Now that it’s all over, I can admit that IB workloads and school friendships weren’t my only problems. I was also dealing with family issues and taking anxiety medication while studying. About two months before the exam, I almost took a leave of absence. Things are getting a little better. Anyway, thank you for helping me so much. Please tell the other teacher too. There aren’t many days left this year, but I hope you finish the year well and have an even better year ahead.

I'm so glad this student reached a good university after struggling so much.

They stand out in my memory. You might assume someone entering Yonsei had always studied well, but that wasn't the case. It was more of a late turnaround.

They worked incredibly hard at the end and got into Yonsei. Thank you so much.

I think this was a case where strong final-exam performance helped secure a good university place.

Student

Teacher, it’s been a long time. I got admitted to several schools and thought it over, then decided on Yonsei.

Teacher

Wow! I’m teaching right now, so I can’t write a proper reply, but congratulations! Study hard!

Student

Thank you, teacher.

This student was diligent.

They received several offers, and I thought they would choose a university in Canada or Australia. But they're going to Yonsei.

They were hardworking and conscientious from the start, so I expected them to enter a good university. Thank you, haha.

Student

Teacher, I got off the waitlist for Materials Science at Yonsei. Is it the right choice to turn down Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Korea University and POSTECH?

Teacher

I think Yonsei is the better choice.

Student

Haha, yes, I decided on Yonsei. Thank you.

Teacher

You worked so hard!

Student

Please get in touch when you come to Korea.

Teacher

Of course! I’ll contact you when I’m in Korea.

Student

Yes!

After receiving several offers, they ultimately chose Materials Science and Engineering at Yonsei.

They were bright and diligent, so I always thought they'd do well in admissions.

They earned a perfect 45, so the result itself isn't surprising. What's striking is that even with a perfect final total,

they entered Yonsei Materials Science and Engineering through an additional admission round. Wow, it has become difficult.

Four students contacted me about entering Yonsei, and about four also seem to have received offers from universities in Singapore—possibly more.

Singapore decisions came before the finals, so many students had already contacted me. Several parents contacted me too.

Student

Teacher, I’m going to Singapore!

Teacher

You too? You’re going with your friend. What was your score?

Student

Haha, mine is just…

Teacher

The university in Singapore is an excellent school.

Student

It is a little low for Singapore.

Teacher

Why are all of you getting into such good schools? Haha.

Student

A slightly weak score…

Teacher

You did really well.

View original messagesOriginal Korean messages

As you can see from the conversation, we were close and joked around a lot, haha.

This student came to me with weak results and improved quickly.

In the end, they got into the university they wanted, which made me especially happy.

They had worried about their grades every day.

Student

[Happy sticker] I’m just having fun!

Teacher

How are you? I’m checking in on students to see how things have been going.

Student

Hello, teacher! I got into NUS.

Teacher

Oh, it’s been so long!

Student

Are you still in Vietnam?

Teacher

Yes, I ended up staying here. I’m still here!

This student also went to university in Singapore. They were bright and strong academically, so I thought they would go to a good Korean university. I understand they entered a Business program in Singapore. They had talked as though they would go to Korea, so the Singapore decision really surprised me. Congratulations!

Hello, teacher. Thanks to your good teaching, my child was admitted to the regular-admission track at Kookmin University. Thank you!

Teacher

Wow! Congratulations. What a wonderful result. Congratulations again!

Parent

It is all thanks to you.

Such a kind student, and such a thoughtful mother.

I have only good memories: a kind, capable student who was always cheerful.

I'm so happy things went well. I remember that they liked having fun and eased off a little as soon as the Singapore offer arrived, haha.

Teacher

I heard from your child. You worked so hard. Congratulations! Please let me know when the NUS result comes out.

Parent

Thank you! You worked hard as well.

This student also received an offer from a university in Singapore. They studied well and were playful, haha—although this message is from their mother.

There are many other messages, but I'll stop here.

Thank you, everyone. Work hard at university, and I hope we can meet again if there's a chance.

Thank you.

I've also uploaded free lessons.
