Chemistry can be a challenging subject to grasp in the Diploma Programme and the Leaving Cert. The most important thing is to have interest in the subject, and the right teacher who teaches according to your needs. As someone who used a tutor myself, tutoring offers the opportunity to spend dedicated time to the areas of Chemistry that are a bit more challenging than others. I graduated the IB with a 6 in HL Chemistry, and a total of 40 points. I am now studying Chemical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
