MY GOAL IN THIS FREE REVISION CLASS IS SIMPLE:

To help you uncover how to get more done, more efficiently and how to get
better results in your IB Physics Exams.
By the end of this class you should know exactly what to study, how to study
it and when.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? 

You study IB Physics and want to achieve a 7 in the IB exams (less than
three months to go...)
You’ve tried to work through some of the IB concepts on your own and/or
asked your teacher, but you still need some help
You find that keeping up with the sheer amount of IB revision is
challenging
You are a parent of an IB Physics student and are looking for ways to
support your child

WHY DID YOU SHOW UP HERE TODAY? 


It may be because you are fed up of feeling like you COULD do better if:
you had more support
you had a better teacher
you had more time to revise 

Maybe you REALLY need that 7 in IB Physics to get to your preferred


university

Perhaps you’re overwhelmed by the sheer amount of revision needed and


you just need someone to lead you step-by-step through IB Physics
revision in the most efficient way

Maybe you are a desperate parent!
