We all need a good education to prosper in our lives. The kind of education we undertake has a lot to do with our choice and interests. There are various types of courses and education programs in the market. Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. The Ace Academy in Chennai is one of the most renowned institutes for various courses. It has always been at the forefront of giving quality education to students. Many students yearn to pursue their IB Diploma program in chemistry at this renowned institute.
Chemistry is called a central science that encompasses the physical environment in which we live and the biological systems. We have been introduced to this subject in our high school years. For beginners, it’s a little difficult to get their hooks deep into the subject, but over time many students get the hang of it. We should also try to understand the deeper insight this subject holds. We should be aware of how scientists work and communicate with each other. The scientific method has many forms but the emphasis should be given to the practical approach as sciences are taught practically. The skills of a student are truly put to test as they have to design, investigate, collect data, analyze the results of the outcome, develop manipulative skills and collaborate with peers and communicate their feelings. The investigation can be laboratory-based and its results can be based on simulations and databases.
The IB Chemistry tutors in Chennai are the experts of chemistry. The IB only hires people who have a piece of deep knowledge of the subject. The performance of the faculty is evaluated first and then only they are hired as professors.

The professors guide students in the following way-
- Prepare a timetable for studying chemistry
It is important to create a blueprint for studying chemistry. The timetable should be made according to your convenient timings. Right from the fragmentation of the breaks in between to the long haul of hours of study required, everything should be done properly. There are a lot of concepts to be memorized in the subject. Each concept has many sub-concepts. The equations in organic chemistry also form a major part of the subject, without equations the study of chemistry is not complete. The IB Chemistry tutors first take one on one sessions related to each topic. It takes two tuition classes per week for them to cover the topics.
After each topic, a doubt resolving session is being conducted separately to clarify all of their doubts. Thus, all the doubts of the students are clarified then and there. The IB tutors help students in preparing notes and jot down all the reactions one by one. The students are supposed to practice all the reactions daily.
The periodic table lays the foundation of the entire subject.
- Reading with your eyes closed
The IB tutors at Chennai encourage students to close their eyes and memorize the concepts after the students have studied the concepts. Take out a sheet of paper to outline the formulae and highlight all the key points. The examination is such that you can also get a question with the same answer but with a minor variation. The IB tutors help students equip them according to the curriculum. Don’t simply mug up as just memorizing the facts without understanding their relevance is a waste of time. Organize all the integrated notes properly. Judge the scope of the material and the depth of coverage of a particular topic.
The IB tutors teach the same topic unless and until every student is thorough with all the concepts. Prepare a pre-exam checklist.
Chemistry is full of experiments, so spending an ample amount of time in the laboratories might work out in your favor.
- Look at specific concepts and practice through a textbook
Students make a huge mistake of studying all the chapters individually. They should instead focus on the value of past papers. The IB examination follows a set path and makes unique tailor-made questions every year. There are no repetitions at all. The structure of the paper and the degree of toughness gives you an idea about what comes in the paper. You should formulate techniques for better time management. The IB Chemistry tutors at the Ace Academy help you tackle this problem. Even before the commencement of the exams, the IB tutors help you resolve your doubts.
There are e-books for various topics. More than seven publications offer a high-quality IB syllabus.
One can refer to these. There is also a separate database that consists of Chemistry papers and handwritten notes.
With the valuable guidance of the expert faculty and your hard work and determination, success will knock on your door.
