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.
Exam-focused teaching
Every topic is taught the way it is examined: mark schemes, command words, calculator strategy, and past-paper technique from day one.
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, taught 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.
