The programme
What every Chemistry programme includes
Condensed HL & SL notes
The full Structure and Reactivity syllabus distilled into take-home notes, so revision focuses on the understandings and calculations the mark scheme actually rewards.
Exam-question drilling
After each topic, tutors show students how to apply concepts to exam-style questions across the new Paper 1A, 1B and Paper 2 format — with calculators now permitted on all papers.
Coverage
Complete syllabus coverage
Tuition follows the current IB Chemistry guide (first assessment 2025): two organizing themes — Structure and Reactivity — each explored across three areas, with HL content taught as extensions rather than separate topics.
Structure 1
Models of the particulate nature of matter
HLSL
Structure 2
Models of bonding and structure
HLSL
Structure 3
Classification of matter
HLSL
Reactivity 1
What drives chemical reactions?
HLSL
Reactivity 2
How much, how fast, how far?
HLSL
Reactivity 3
Mechanisms of chemical change
HLSL
Paper 1 (1A multiple choice + 1B data-based), Paper 2 (short- and extended-response) and the scientific-investigation Internal Assessment are each prepared with dedicated past-paper drills and timed practice.
Why ElitePrep
Why students choose ElitePrep for IB Chemistry
The 2025 Chemistry course rewards students who connect structure to reactivity. Our tutors are trained to teach those links — and to prove the result in exam performance.
Built for the current syllabus
Every set of notes and drills is mapped to the Structure-and-Reactivity themes and the new Paper 1A/1B and Paper 2 format, so students never revise from an outdated syllabus.
Concepts that connect
Tutors teach bonding, energetics and mechanism as linked ideas, exactly as the extended-response questions in Paper 2 require — not as isolated units.
Exam technique that scores
Structured practice on data-based and extended-response questions, with personalised feedback on the working and command-term precision that separates a 6 from a 7.
Coursework, secured early
A step-by-step IA process helps students bank strong marks on the scientific investigation before the final exams.
