IB Chemistry Tutoring & University Application Guidance

From 66 C$ /h

I hold an MChem in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, and a research background in computational polymer science. I tutor IB Chemistry (all levels) and also support students preparing for university applications — from strengthening subject knowledge to structuring a competitive application.

Whether you need help with IB Chemistry coursework and exams, or broader guidance on preparing for university (personal statements, interview prep, or simply making sure your academic foundation is strong going in), I tailor sessions to your specific goals.

About Me

I'm the director of a trilingual (Chinese/English/Hungarian) kindergarten in Budapest, where I lead a staff of eight and oversee around 36 students. Alongside that, I teach Chinese and English directly to children, and I tutor secondary and university-bound students in Chemistry, Biology, and Math.
I came to teaching through scienc, I hold a Master's in Chemistry with a focus on Medicinal Chemistry, and spent time researching computational polymer science before moving into education and school leadership. That background shapes how I teach: I care about students actually understanding a concept, not just memorizing it well enough to pass a test. At the same time, running a kindergarten day to day has taught me a lot about patience, how differently people learn at different ages, and how to keep a lesson structured without it feeling rigid.
With older students, I focus on building genuine understanding of the fundamentals, working through past papers and exam technique, and adapting the pace to what each student actually needs — whether that's steady term-time support or focused pre-exam revision. I also help students preparing for university applications think through their subject choices and how to present themselves well.
With younger children, I focus on making English, reading, writing, and early math feel natural and engaging rather than like a chore — lots of repetition, encouragement, and building confidence step by step.

Education

MChem in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, including a research project in computational polymer science using molecular dynamics simulations and polymer informatics methods. Also hold an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, completed as a trilingual student across English, Chinese, and Hungarian.

IGCSE Chemistry, Biology, Science & Math Personal Tutor

55 C$ /h

I hold an MChem in Chemistry (Medicinal Chemistry focus) with a research background in computational chemistry, and I currently direct a trilingual school in Budapest. I tutor IGCSE-level students in Chemistry, Biology, Combined Science, and Math.

Lessons follow your school's specific syllabus and past-paper style, with a focus on strengthening fundamentals, closing knowledge gaps, and building exam technique. Whether you need regular term-time support or focused pre-exam revision, I'll structure a plan around what you actually need.

English, Reading, Writing & Math for Young Children (age 4-14)

53 C$ /h

I'm the director of a trilingual (Chinese/English/Hungarian) kindergarten in Budapest, where I teach language and oversee learning for children ages 3–12. I offer lessons in English, reading, writing, and math, built around how young children actually learn best — through engagement, repetition, and confidence-building rather than rote drilling.

Sessions are adapted to your child's age, attention span, and current level, whether that's early phonics and number sense or building stronger reading and writing fluency.

As a student, I love math and chemistry. I tutored other students in my class for math previously. I assign homework after every lesson and help the student to improve. Math is my favorite subject and I am very passionate about it and I want to share the knowledge that I have.

I am an LSE first year student received 3A*(including science)3A in IGCSE and A* in both A-level Mathematics and Chemistry. I have been tutoring IGCSE and A-Level maths and sciences at school for students from Year7 to 13, successfully improved my tutee's A-level math grade from F(38%) to an A(81%) in three months. I have kept my high-school notes and I'm happy to share them; also I am familiar with the specific tricks to tackle GCSE and A-level exam questions. I'm sure I can boost the student's understanding of these subjects, therefore improve his/her grades effectively.

I have been teaching International School students with the IB , GCSE Curriculum in International Schools.

Subjects - Biology & Chemistry

are wonderful subjects and are very friendly but have to be learnt with a clear understanding of the topic so that the student relates with the topic and masters it while getting to learn it .

I teach students with a friendly approach and with a practical approach so that the concepts are strong.

Creating the BEST UNDERSTANDING and Love for Sciences in Each of my students is my objective of teaching.

Science in general should be fun to learn. If taught in the right way, students will enjoy the procesa of learning and that is exactly what I try my best to do. I have been giving private tuitions since 2018 and have found good success and enjoyment doing it. Since I'm pursuing my masters in Chemistry at ELTE, I would like to stay in touch with academics and science in my free time by giving tuitions.

I taught in the 2nd best high school of Hungary, lots of competitors and doctors-to-be.
Now I teach in an international school, in English.

I was told to be very thorough and students understood in depth while enjoying the lesson (or so they said).

I can help you with homeworks, practice, final exam, calculations etc.

I use Wacom board so lessons can be followed easily online.

Struggling with chemistry at your gimnázium, szakközépiskola, or international school? Want to prepare for exams or the Érettségi in English?

I’m a chemist and chemical engineer (B.Eng.) with real-world experience and strong academic background. I teach chemistry in clear, simple English — helping you understand tough topics, solve problems step by step, and feel confident in class.

I cover:

High school chemistry topics (inorganic + organic)

Exam prep (standard and advanced Érettségi)

Stoichiometry, reaction balancing, calculations

Building chemistry vocabulary and logic in English

Lessons are patient, supportive, and adapted to your pace. My goal is to help you go from confusion to clarity — and succeed in chemistry.

Hi!

I’m Dani, a 26-year-old Finance graduate and private tutor with 5 years of teaching experience. Maths has always been a huge part of my life—from studying A-Levels to earning a First Class Honours degree in Corporate Finance (in English). I love the subject, and my goal is to share that enthusiasm with you.

The Golden Rule: There is no such thing as a stupid question, or a lost cause.

I take a student-centered approach. I tailor every lesson to your personal learning style and needs. Whether we need to tackle advanced concepts or go back to basics like 1+1, I will make sure you understand the 'why' behind the math.

I know what it’s like to struggle with problems that a little bit of guidance could have solved. My mission is to provide that guidance so you don’t have to struggle alone, especially in the 'challenging' academic situation in Hungary today.

Let's work together to reach your goals and make tackling life's obstacles easier.
