Your Most Frequently Asked Questions, ANSWERED!

TrIBe Physics is a top-rated, self-paced, online program designed to guide students through the IB Physics syllabus, helping them understand and master the content and skills required to excel in their exams. It offers students direct access to Sally Weatherly, who has taught IB Physics since 2004. She is a renowned author and international specialist in the IB Physics specification.

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, TrIBe Physics provides direct access to the highly experienced IB international tutor, Sally Weatherly, allowing students to ask questions and receive personalised guidance.

Once enrolled, you simply slip the "Ask Sally" button. Sally will respond with a personalised response, in the format deemed necessary (e.g. email, screencasted video, etc)

NOTE: Direct access to Sally does not include one-to-one tutoring or zoom sessions.

The program is suitable for any student preparing for the IB Physics exams in May 2025 and beyond.

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.

Happy to answer any questions you may have. The best thing to do is contact us through our contact page and Sally will reply as soon as possible

Of course! We have too many testimonials to fit in here, but you'll see them littered about our website. All testimonials on the GradePod website are from genuine students with genuine success.

Please also feel free to check out our independent and verified TrustPilot reviews.

The time commitment can vary, but students might consider dedicating at least one hour weekly to make consistent progress, adapting as needed based on their individual schedules and learning pace.

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

The step-by-step guide to the PERFECT IB Physics Investigation is included in all plans of TrIBe Physics.

This is one of the most successful resources in GradePod's history! It has a ridiculously high success rate in producing top-scoring IB Physics IA reports.

This course, valued at £147, offers a comprehensive, step-by-step video tutorial on writing an exceptional IB Physics Scientific Investigation. Designed to be completed in under two hours, the course is divided into 11 manageable sections. You’ll experience a virtual side-by-side guide with Sally as I demonstrate from start to finish how to craft a perfect IA, making the process straightforward and achievable. This is an invaluable resource for any IB Physics student aiming for high marks in their Scientific Investigation.

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.

The Grade Guarantee applies only to the Lifetime Plan

We promise the lifetime plan in GradePod is the most effective path to your success. WE'LL EVEN DOUBLE 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 Holly 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 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.

EXAMPLE: For the exam on 25th April 2024, any programme purchased within between 11th-25th April 2024 will not be eligible for the full 14-day money back guarantee.

GUARANTEE #2: If you don't see better results in 365 days get your money back!

After you pass your initial 14 days inside GradePod, we'll going to give you an entire year - an extra 11 months - to try GradePod and prove to yourself that it will deliver the results. We promise you. If it doesn't, then all you need to do is contact our team and they'll happily refund your investment.

But full disclosure... there is one catch. You have to prove to me that you did the work. And the reason is simple... Nothing Will Work For You If You Do Nothing. Sally literally cannot help someone who purchases a course, does no work and expects top marks!
EQUALLY... you shouldn't have to pay for something that doesn't work! And we're so convinced of how effective this is, we're willing to put our money where our mouth is.

SO LET'S SUM IT UP
You use the program for up to 12 months:
If you're average class grade in IB Physics has not shown genuine improvement...
Simply let my team know, show them the work you've done, and we'll refund your entire investment in the program.

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

You could say that 'TrIBe Physics is expensive' but you should also consider the value.

Value Consideration #1

Other IB resources offer key concepts, past papers, practice exams... but do they give you access to an international IB Physics Author and Expert AND a grade guarantee?
 

Value Consideration #2

You could hire a private tutor every week (during term time) throughout your course. The would cost £2500+. The quality of private tutors are not always great…

Value Consideration #3

You could invest in GradePod and here’s where the value is:

I’m a geeky physics teacher. Here’s proof…

I have been through every single Physics past paper with a fine toothcomb. I’ve analysed it in detail. I’ve also been through every single examiners report of each exam paper in detail. I got so geeky – I set up a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet tells me which concepts and questions that students answered poorly in.

Not geeky enough for you..?

OK – then I surveyed 3000+  physics students and asked them… what is your biggest challenge in physics so far. I took all those answers and put them into my geeky spreadsheet.

Do you know what I have now?

The ultimate blueprint of what students find difficult and answer poorly in Physics exams. TrIBe Physics gets straight to the point and teaches you how NOT to be one of these students.

That's why it is expensive. It is built on years of research and professionalism.

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 £50 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 video tutorials, revision notes, a bank of past paper questions, mock exams, study timetables, direct access to Sally Weatherly, personalised learning plan, unique tools like the 'magic marking grid' to track progress and identify areas of improvement AND exam technique videos!

TrIBe Physics is not just for your IB Physics exams. It is a course companion that will help you with every class test, homework, mock exam and individual study between now and your final exams.

Some of you have emailed saying, "my exams are ages away, when should I join TrIBe Physics?"

When you join the lifetime plan, you get lifetime access! The longer you are enrolled in TrIBe Physics, the more value you will get out of it.

Let's be honest about price. The course will not decrease in price between now and next year (when you start to really think about exams). So why would you miss out on one whole year of using an insanely useful program?

If you are on the fence about the best time to join, you will get MUCH more value if you join now - rather than wait until you think you need it.

All video tutorials and resources are pre-recorded. That means you work at your own pace. It's not a program that has a timeframe.

Finally, when you enrol in TrIBe Physics - you have direct access to me for the whole of your IB Physics journey.

If you're deciding if now is the right time to join - I genuinely can't see why you wouldn't join now!

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, direct access to Sally should quickly help clear up any doubts in IB Physics!

While we strongly believe you can improve your grade in a very short timescale (especially using our strategic study methods), we can't guarantee it.

However, in the lifetime plan, we can promise results!

If you're looking for a grade guarantee, then we recommend you join the Lifetime plan.

If you're looking to join for 1, 3 or 6 months, let us reassure you that a BIG difference can be achieved in a matter of months... Check out this email

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 Physics offers support through direct interaction with Sally Weatherly, additional resources, and personalized 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 42 - 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.
