About:
I have over 20 years of teaching experience, 14 years' experience teaching online and a wealth of knowledge across many curricula. I am also an experienced IB Chemistry Examiner and AP reader. My students say my unwavering enthusiasm shines through in my teaching, and I feel immensely proud to have guided countless students all over the world towards further academic pursuits in the natural sciences. I love the opportunity to play a key role in the learning and lives of my students, helping them to achieve their potential and adapting to their individual needs. Many of my students have gone on to excel in fields such as biochemical and medical research, with a significant number attaining Ph.D. degrees in disciplines such as Analytical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Neuroscience, and Immunology.
“Thank you so much, really, I could not have come this far without you - you’ve been more than just a tutor and I can’t express how grateful I am. Thank you.” IB Chemistry student
"The most outstanding (tutor) was Stela Conic for Chemistry. She has been incredibly supportive to (student), helping him to understand the content, to understand the IA requirements and to prepare for the exam. (Student) has enjoyed her classes and has felt motivated and confident through them. Stela I would recommend to anybody doing Chemistry HL without hesitation". IB Parent

'Very well received by my child. Thumbs up for teacher Stela.' IB Parent
Teaching experience and approach:
My educational background, including a BSc in Petrochemical Engineering, a master's degree in Chemical Engineering, and a professional teaching certificate, has equipped me to deliver high-quality education in the field of Chemical Science. I have had the opportunity to instruct Chemistry at various levels, including iGCSE, IB, AP, and the MYP program. I am also a Team Leader, responsible for marking the Internal Investigations and Paper 2 free response questions for IB Chemistry HL and SL candidates. Recently, I attended professional training from the IB Organisation for IB DP Chemistry, focusing on the updated syllabus set for the first examination in May 2025, giving me all the experience needed to successfully bring my students through the IB.
I help my students with access to all my online resources, give them exam strategies and techniques, as well as helping them practice past papers in our sessions. I am flexible and can change my approach depending on what each student needs. In my tutoring I bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications, ensuring that students develop a strong understanding of the subject matter while preparing them for successful careers.
Qualifications:
- BSc Petrochemical Engineering
- MSc Chemical Engineering
- Certificate of Teaching.

ParentMy husband and I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex at TutorsPlus for an Educational Advisory/School Choice session. It was an invaluable conversation, that gave us great insights and perspective to inform our school choice. We have lived in Geneva for many years, but despite having a lot of input from friends & word of mouth, we found the school decisions to be challenging to navigate. This session and the perspective & insights Alex offered were absolutely invaluable. We are now confident in our school decision for our children. I would highly recommend this service to anyone! If you are musing over school options for your children - absolutely speak with TutorsPlus. Thank you Alex & the TutorsPlus team!December 6, 2019 -

ParentWhat can I say about TutorsPlus and the invaluable advice we received from Alex and her team. They provided honest, real and experienced advice that helped us make important educational decisions for both our girls at a critical time for our family. I can honestly say our move to Switzerland was made so much easier based on the service we received from TutorsPlus. Thank you TutorsPlus I cannot recommend you guys enough.December 6, 2019 -

ParentI used Tutors plus for my daughter who has dyslexia. I particularly like that they listened to my needs and paired her with Alan who had experience of using innovative and alternative styles of tutoring to reach her learning style. It was a personal service rather than a blanket service. I was contacted intermittently to confirm all was on track. My daughter ended up telling me that if she had had Alan as a tutor from primary she might actually be quite good at Maths! Just proves the tutor is so important.December 6, 2019 -

ParentHello, I wanted to let you know that my son's IB results came back today and he did very well in maths. Andrea has been his tutor for the last two years, and helped bring him from an "I hate maths" perspective to one where he has been happy to engage again in a subject he used to love.December 6, 2019 -

ParentThey have both been a lifesaver, boosting Eddy’s grades by a couple of IB points, which is no small feat. Both tutors are very knowledgeable and work extremely well with students. They always made an effort to be available even on very short notice. Eddy and I give them both top marks.December 6, 2019 -
