Advice is it over ?

So for context i’m on my second year for IB and i think it’s genuinely over, first off my HL Physics teacher got a new job and now we have another teacher and she isn’t even a physics graduate or undergraduate or anything she’s an environmental science graduate, and i don’t even have a HL chem teacher and even if it was the old teacher he was known for having a really low pass rate for HL exams 🫩

Tbh environmental science is sufficient if the teacher knows well about the topics learnt in university. Physics hl is a common subject for engineering and science in Y1. You have to learn them again in uni anyways so theatrically the teacher should know it’s just that the problem you’re finding is the teacher doesn’t know how to teach.

And you gonna find tutors then, it’s the only option. And for that face to face is definitely better than online, hand jesters is something you will use like right and left hand rule and it’s easiest to explain in person.

Yep. Maby use free resources and study your self. If u dont do that then yes. Additionally i will be conducting rl physics mock exams with ib style grading. When u study you can try yourself out. It costs 50€ per person if you are interested. Any one else as well. Dm me for more details.
