That means:

1. Personal feedback on your work
2. Direct answers to your questions
3. Full support with your Scientific Investigation

So you’re never stuck on your own

Here’s a quick look at what’s included in TrIBe and how it compares to TrIBe VIP.

You'd better believe it!

I have genuinely taught hundreds of students who did not believe that they would even pass AND THEY GOT AMAZING GRADES! I've given some examples below.

I've used this EXACT strategy with hundreds of students and, quite simply, it works. 

Yes, but only in TrIBe VIP. That plan unlocks the “Ask Sally” feature so you can submit your questions and receive a personalised response (via email, screencast, or video). This does not include formal one-to-one tutoring or Zoom classes.

The program is suitable for any student preparing for the IB Physics exams.

It caters to students at any stage and ability in their IB Physics studies.

Students have found TrIBe to be a useful companion and guide at the beginning of the IB Physics course, all the way through to the final exams.

Previous students have seen tangible results when only using GradePod for as little as 4 weeks before the final exam; however, best results are achieved when the course is used throughout the IB Physics 2 year course.

Don't believe me! Believe our GradePod students

If this course sounds like a beast, it might just be because you feel overwhelmed with your current workload and the seemingly endless assignments and tests you currently have.

Are you trying to imagine how to add this program to your current "to-do" list?

TrIBe Physics is the ANTIDOTE to overwhelm!

It's a system designed to give you clarity and focus in your revision. It will help you align your individual study so you can see the BIG PICTURE of where you are headed and allow you to genuinely visualise that 7 in IB Physics (with a wide open future for you after you graduate!)

Also, you have lifetime access to TrIBe Physics. It's not the type of program you rush to complete. You don't have to join classes at any specific time. You don't have to speak up in an online class. There's no assignments.

Inside the program I help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses... and based on that we'll identify the necessary actions you need to take to 'graduate' to the next level.

This may not require completing the whole course.

So... if you can commit just a couple of hours a week to the training, you can begin to see a whole new level of growth and progress in your results immediately.

Guarantee #1: Test-Drive The Program for 14 days

When you enrol, you'll have 14 days to go through EVERYTHING inside the program, and if for whatever reason... and we mean ANY reason... if you don't feel like this was the best investment you've made into improving your confidence and grades in IB Physics, simply email us at [email protected] and we'll gladly refund your entire investment... no questions asked!

EXCEPTION: This guarantee is not applicable if the Program is purchased within 21 days of any IBDP Physics exam in the published IBO Examination schedule, meaning you cannot purchase the Program, use it in the 21 days preceding your exam, then request a refund once your exam is complete.

EXAMPLE: For the exam on 29th April 2025, any programme purchased within between 8th-29th April 2025 will not be eligible for the full 14-day money back guarantee.

GUARANTEE #2: 365-Day Grade Guarantee (VIP Only)
I’m confident TrIBe VIP will improve your IB Physics grade. If you put in the work and don’t see progress, I’ll refund you in full.

To qualify, you’ll need to show you’ve completed the program materials (revision notes, guided past papers) and provide evidence of your grades (school reports, mocks, or final IB result).

If that's not fair. I don't know what is

I assure you that the full potential of my teaching methodology is encapsulated in the TrIBe Physics program. By engaging with it, you will have access to the best of my resources and strategies. While personal tutoring is not a service I offer, I am confident that the program will more than meet your needs. Don’t forget that I offer a full money back guarantee, which is not typically offered by physics tutors.

I assure you that the full potential of my teaching methodology is encapsulated in the TrIBe Physics program. Sadly, I simply do not have time in my calendar to take on one-to-one students. If you are sure that you want a one-to-one tutor, please take the following into account:

• find a professional IB physics tutor who knows exactly the course inside out
• watch the cost because an IB physics tutor can cost around about £65 an hour and those hours can add up as you go towards the exam 
• IB physics tutors do not offer any money back guarantees. You must be sure that your tutor is good before you start! TrIBE Physics offers a money back guarantee.
• Check how often you can access or ask questions of your tutor. Often with a physics tutor you see them once a week and you have to wait weekly to make sure that all your doubts are answered. Inside TrIBe Physics, you can access Sally at any point and she will get back to you quickly.

The program includes everything you need to study IB Physics independently: video lessons, revision notes, a past-paper bank, mock exams, timetables, and a personalised learning plan. NOTE: Personalised support from Sally (via “Ask Sally”) is included only in TrIBe VIP.

Here’s a quick look at what’s included in TrIBe and how it compares to TrIBe VIP.

TrIBe Physics (self-paced programme):
Yes — you can join at any time. TrIBe is designed as a lifetime course companion, not just for your final exams. Students use it for class tests, homework, mocks, and revision throughout the whole IB. The sooner you join, the more value you’ll get. The course is pre-recorded and completely self-paced, so you can dip in and out as your schedule allows.

TrIBe VIP (personal support):
VIP is different. Because it includes my time and feedback, I only open spaces a few times a year. If you think you’ll want that extra support, I’d recommend joining the waitlist now so you don’t miss the next intake.

The program breaks down complex topics into manageable lessons with bite-sized tutorials. At the end of each bite-sized tutorial, the student is guided on what they should note down in revision notes and is asked questions underpin their understanding. Plenty of focused practice exam questions are also used ensure comprehensive understanding.

Finally, inside TrIBe VIP, you'll get direct access to Sally, which should quickly help clear up any doubts in IB Physics!

Absolutely, TrIBe Physics is an excellent supplementary resource that complements traditional classroom learning.

Progress is tracked using tools like the magic marking grid and through regular assessments, with reports on progress available to students.

TrIBe VIP offers support through direct interaction with Sally Weatherly, additional resources, and personalised feedback to help students overcome challenges.

Upon enrolment, you will be encouraged to complete a short questionnaire. Sally will review this questionnaire and email you a personalised learning plan - to help guide you efficiently and effectively through the TrIBe Physics materials.

While the program follows a structured approach, there may be room for customisation based on a student's specific strengths and weaknesses, particularly through the direct support from Sally.

TrIBe Physics offers structured learning paths, exam strategies, and practice questions that mirror the format and complexity of actual IB exams, aiding in thorough preparation.

I know what you're thinking....

I don't need this program. I've got textbooks, I can make my own revision notes. I've got YouTube. I can go through the past papers and memorise the mark schemes if I need to.

You're absolutely right! You probably HAVE been really successful with this method. You've put a great deal of time into getting your study habits right and it works for you - right? However, are you finding that it's all getting "a bit much"? Are you slightly nervous that your current study methods might NOT work for IB because that course is waaaaay harder than IGCSE?

In TrIBe Physics, together we'll devise an efficient study strategy to take you straight to the finish line of maximum marks in IB Physics exams. No wasting time searching online. Together we can develop a NEW strategy that is more effective than your current way of studying - allowing you to reduce your workload and get great marks.

TrIBe Physics is meticulously crafted to address these exact issues. It offers a comprehensive approach that encompasses not just the understanding of Physics concepts but, more crucially, the development of skills to tackle IB-specific questions. This holistic method is what I believe truly empowers students to excel. It's not uncommon for teachers to focus more on delivering content, with less emphasis on the nuances of IB exam technique ESPECIALLY as this is a new specification and your teacher will not be sure on how much time they will need to get through the course… This is precisely where TrIBe Physics steps in. My program will guide you through the process of understanding how to approach and solve these unique IB problems, blending conceptual knowledge with exam strategies.

I'm the same.

I avoided meeting people in my profession for years! I thought I would say the wrong thing. I thought everyone was more clever than me. I thought they all looked at me like I was a silly little girl.

I now know that's not true, but I'm 46 - it looks me ages to get here!

I know what it's like to lack confidence and be shy. I promise I won't make you join a zoom and answer questions!

Everything you need is inside the course waiting for you - ready for you to take action in your own time and in your own space.

If you do want to ask me questions, you can email me and I'll send (totally non-intrusive!) video responses.

We want to give all IB Physics students the chance to see themselves as a data scientist, coder or doctor and influence a new industrial era, regardless of their background.

In the internet age you can learn basically whatever you fancy online and for free. But that’s not the point of TrIBe Physics. It will take you many frustrating hours to find tutorials that are exactly mapped to the new specifications and accompanying exam-style questions for each topic.

I offer a series of simple, short tutorials that help you to quickly master simple exam techniques, guide revision and achieve top marks.

You can do it the long way (and pay nothing) or you can take advantage of my expertise and do it the quick and efficient way. Either way is fine!
