IB Chemistry TutorHead of Chemistry13+ years' teaching

I’m Roman, a passionate chemistry teacher with over 13 years of international teaching experience. I currently serve as Head of Chemistry at Leipzig International School in Germany, where I’m dedicated to making science engaging, accessible, and relevant for every learner. I have a strong background in food chemistry, which allows me to connect chemistry concepts to everyday life through cooking and real-world applications. Over the years, I’ve taught across various curricula and educational levels, helping students not only master chemistry but also appreciate its importance beyond the classroom. My teaching approach is dynamic and student-centered. I use hands-on experiments, interactive discussions, visuals, and multimedia presentations to cater to diverse learning styles. I also emphasize inquiry, critical thinking, and personalized assessment to ensure each student builds both understanding and confidence. Fluent in English, Arabic, Polish, and French, I enjoy connecting with students from diverse backgrounds and fostering a global perspective in science education. Outside the classroom, I’m passionate about all kinds of sports, especially football, and I coach both the varsity boys’ and girls’ teams at my school, where I value teamwork, resilience, and the joy of continuous improvement.

IB Biology Tutor3 years' IB tutoring42/45 IB graduateUCL

I’m Sreeja an IB graduate who now studies medicine in UCL. I’m currently in my third year where I’m completing an integrated Bachelors in Science (iBSC) in Anatomy, Cell Development and Biology. I achieved 7’s in Biology HL, Chemistry HL and Maths AA HL and have been teaching these subjects in both SL and HL for 3 years now. I also teach MYP sciences and maths. I’ve experience tutoring both in person and online for a range of ages so I have the ability to communicate to a wide range of students. I have different approaches to teaching depending on the subject and what the student responds best to. In Maths, I focus on being able to tackle problems so once the student understands the concept, we start doing practice problems. Starting with simple ones and slowly building up to more complex questions. In Biology and Chemistry I use a lot of diagrams and ask students to explain concepts back so I understand they know. I also do lots of practice IB questions with students so they understand how to structure their answers the key words IB examiners are looking for. Outside of tutoring I enjoy drawing, reading and walks in nature.

IB Maths AA Tutor44/45 IB graduate

I’m Anirdesh! I graduated from the IB with 44 points and now study Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Bristol. I got a 7 in HL Mathematics Analysis and Approaches, which I now tutor. I also achieved 7s in HL Physics and HL Economics along with an A in the Mathematics EE. I’ve been tutoring for over 2 years now with experience ranging across different teaching environments. I have done 1-1 tutoring with IB students and I am a teaching assistant at my university along with leading seminar groups of 20+ students. I believe that puzzling out the answer to a question is the most valuable thing you can do as a student and in life generally. I want to encourage students not to just study for the results but also to try to find pleasure and interest in what they are learning. I want to motivate them to find ways of making school interesting for themselves. I want students of all skill levels to experience the “aha” moments that make learning fun and motivating. Even after our tutoring sessions end, I want students to feel equipped with the right strategies and mindset to tackle any topic independently. My biggest strength is my commitment to sticking with students to help them boost their performance and confidence along with catering to their curiosity and interests. When I’m not tutoring, you can usually find me listening to music (I play the violin) or watching sports. I love reading and am always up for an interesting conversation about anything! I believe teaching is one of the most rewarding things one can do, and I would love the opportunity to discover the joy of learning together.

Where the IB started in Germany

Frankfurt IB schools we support students from

Frankfurt is where the IB began in Germany: Frankfurt International School in Oberursel has taught it since 1971, and the state Goethe-Gymnasium in the Westend followed in 1972. Most of the 7 Diploma schools in the area now sit in a belt through the Taunus and Rhine-Main suburbs: accadis in Bad Homburg, The European School RheinMain in Bad Vilbel (European Baccalaureate plus an IB track, with the Diploma since 2024) and Strothoff in Dreieich, part of Phorms since 2022.

The schools reflect the city: Frankfurt counted 179 nationalities at the end of 2023, and it is home to the European Central Bank, so some families arrive mid-way through a child's schooling.

Recognition in Hesse

What Frankfurt IB students need before university

To study in Germany with an IB Diploma from a Hessian school, a student goes through a state recognition procedure run by the Hessian education ministry, which charges €70. The ministry's IB page has the details: a provisional decision can be issued from the Transcript of Grades and is valid until 30 September, so applications needn't wait for the paper diploma. The subject conditions behind it are the same in every Land; our Germany overview sets them out.

One local detail matters at Goethe-Gymnasium: its fixed IB package includes Maths AA at SL, and the school was not on the KMK's Annex 1 as of 30 October 2026, so the IB alone does not open maths, science or engineering degrees in Germany to its students. Its IB students also take the Hessian Abitur, which is not affected. Our Maths AA page explains the rule, and the KMK's recognition page lists the schools.

Studying locally, or abroad

Frankfurt School of Finance & Management accepts the IB and teaches its business bachelor's entirely in English from the fourth semester; our Business Management page compares it with other private business schools. If your child is weighing other countries too, our guide to university abroad for IB graduates covers the main systems.

Hesse's summer holidays start on 28 June 2027, so results in early July may arrive while you are away; plan who will follow up on offers.

FAQs

Questions Frankfurt families ask

How do I find an IB tutor in Frankfurt or the Taunus towns?

Frankfurt has taught the IB longer than anywhere else in Germany, and its Diploma schools now stretch from Oberursel and Bad Homburg to Bad Vilbel and Dreieich. Tell us which one your child attends and which subjects and levels they take, and we suggest an IB teacher, a specialist with examiner experience or a high-scoring graduate who knows that course; the free consultation then sets the plan.

We are moving to a Frankfurt school mid-year, or from IGCSE into the Diploma. Can a tutor help?

Yes. ISF in Sindlingen teaches IGCSE before the Diploma, and students joining from abroad often arrive with a different syllabus behind them. A tutor finds the gaps in the first weeks and closes them before the first DP1 reports; our parent guide to DP1 struggles lists the early signs.

Can lessons move when our family travels for work?

Yes. Lessons are online, so they carry on from a hotel or a second home as long as there is a laptop and a connection, and the time can be agreed with the tutor around trips. If a relocation is coming, the same tutor can usually keep teaching your child through the move, which avoids starting again with someone new mid-Diploma.

Can a tutor help a Goethe-Gymnasium student with the IB subjects taught in English?

Yes. At Goethe-Gymnasium, history, biology and TOK are taught in English inside the IB package, alongside the Hessian Abitur, so students write IB essays and lab work in their second language. A tutor in IB History or IB Biology helps with both the content and the way the IB expects answers to be written.

Can tutoring support a student aiming for economics or finance degrees?

It can. Those degrees, in Frankfurt or abroad, tend to reward strong maths alongside the social science, so we can pair an IB Economics tutor with maths support. In the consultation we look at your child's target courses and the grades they ask for.
