WE'LL EVEN GUARANTEE IT

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!

Guarantee #2: Grade Guarantee

Well here's the kicker! TrIBe VIP also guarantees to improve your grade. If your grade has not improved within 365 days of joining TrIBe VIP - we'll refund your money.

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

While we're discussing what's fair...

Guarantee #1 is not applicable if the Program is purchased within 14 days of any IBDP Physics exam in the published IBO Examination schedule, meaning you cannot purchase the Program, use it in the 14 days preceding your exam, then request a refund once your exam is complete.

For the May 2025 Exams, any programme purchased within between 14th-29th April 2025 will not be eligible for the full 14-day money back guarantee.

Guarantee #2 is only applicable if the user can prove that
(a) they've made reasonable use of the resources and help from Sally, and
(b) there's written proof of no grade increase (e.g. from class tests, mock exams results and final exam results)

TrIBe is designed to accommodate rolling enrolment, allowing students to join at any point in their IB Physics journey.

TrIBe VIP is only opened a few times per year. This is to allow Sally to manage the number of students who get direct support from her.

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!

TrIBe VIP provides additional resources, personalised feedback, and expert IB Physics guidance to help students overcome challenges.

Upon enrolment, students will be encouraged to complete a short questionnaire. Our physics tutors will review the responses and provide a personalised learning plan to help guide students efficiently and effectively through the TrIBe materials.

While the program follows a structured approach, there may be room for customisation based on individual strengths and weaknesses, particularly through the additional support available in TrIBe VIP.

The full potential of proven IB Physics teaching methodologies is encapsulated in TrIBe and TrIBe VIP. By engaging with these programs, students gain access to the best resources, strategies, and structured learning pathways.

While personal tutoring is not included, the comprehensive support and expert-led instruction within TrIBe are designed to fully meet the needs of IB Physics students.

The full potential of proven IB Physics teaching methodologies is encapsulated in TrIBe. While one-to-one tutoring is not offered within this program, TrIBe provides structured learning, expert-led guidance, and a comprehensive set of resources designed to support students at every stage.

For those considering hiring a one-to-one tutor, here are some key factors to keep in mind:

• Find a professional IB Physics tutor who knows the course inside out.
• Consider the cost - an IB Physics tutor can charge around £65 per hour, and those hours can add up as exams approach.
• IB Physics tutors typically do not offer money-back guarantees. Be sure of a tutor’s quality before starting! TrIBe offers a money-back guarantee
• Check how often you can ask questions or access support. Traditional tutoring often means waiting for weekly sessions, whereas inside TrIBe VIP, students can access expert guidance at any time with fast response times.

 We do have the option of spreading the cost over three months - contact us at [email protected] for more information.

TrIBe includes all the essential video tutorials and resources for IB Physics success, without the higher cost of direct support. It’s a one-time payment, providing full access until exam day.

For students who are unable to afford the membership, there are still two great options for additional support:

Free downloadable resources are available to help guide IB Physics revision on a budget.

• IB Physics Syllabus Checklist
• IB Physics Scientific Investigation Guide

In the internet age, it’s possible to learn basically anything online for free. But that’s not the point of TrIBe. Searching for tutorials that are precisely aligned with the latest IB specifications—along with matching exam-style questions—can take many frustrating hours.

TrIBe provides a structured series of simple, short tutorials designed to help students quickly develop essential exam techniques, streamline revision, and achieve top marks.

There’s always the option to take the long route (for free) or to follow an expertly designed system for a faster, more efficient learning experience. Either way works!
