IB Summer Intensive Barcelona
July and August 2026 — intensive IB preparation at our Sant Gervasi centre, for students entering IB Year 1 or Year 2 in September. Mathematics (AA & AI, SL & HL) and Physics (SL & HL) — separately or combined.
Learn from experienced expert tutors who actually raise scores.
The biggest difference between a good score and a great one is who teaches you. Our tutors bring decades of experience and the kind of one-to-one attention a tutoring platform simply cannot match.
Seasoned subject experts
You are taught by experienced specialists with deep subject and exam knowledge — never a rotating roster of part-time college students.
The same tutor, every session
Consistency that compounds. Your tutor learns how you think, remembers your weak spots, and builds on them week after week.
Genuine personal attention
1-on-1 and small groups only. Every lesson is built around you and your target score — not a packed classroom pace.

WHO IS IT FOR
Two critical IB transitions
GRADE 10 → IB YEAR 1
Pre-IB preparation
IB Diploma Mathematics and Physics assume algebraic fluency, unit discipline, and problem-framing habits that many students arrive without. The summer is the last uninterrupted window to build them before Year 1 starts in September.
- ✓Algebra, functions, and vectors at DP entry level
- ✓IB Physics: mechanics, energy, and quantitative habits
- ✓Paper structure and formula-booklet literacy
- ✓HL vs SL comparison if your child is still deciding
GRADE 11 → IB YEAR 2
Year 1 → Year 2 bridge
Year 2 begins with mocks in November and final exams in May. The summer window is when gaps from Year 1 can be closed without term-time pressure — the students who use it well arrive in September with momentum rather than anxiety.
- ✓Topic-by-topic gap repair from Year 1
- ✓Past-paper rhythm and timing strategy
- ✓IB Physics: paper 1, 2, and 3 structure
- ✓IA awareness — experimental design and write-up logic
SUBJECTS
Maths and Physics — separately or combined
IB Mathematics
AA & AI · SL & HL
Analysis & Approaches (AA)
Proof thinking, functions, calculus, and the rigour that AA HL demands. Syllabus-aware from the start.
Applications & Interpretation (AI)
Statistics, modelling, and the technology-forward approach that AI papers reward. Calculator discipline and data literacy.
IB Physics
SL & HL · New syllabus
Core theory & numerics
Mechanics, waves, fields, thermal physics — concept-first so definitions are durable, not borrowed for a single test.
Data-booklet discipline
Knowing which formula to reach for, what it assumes, and how marks are distributed across multi-part questions.
