Our Story

The Story of Three Friends

It all started in 2020, when the trio enrolled into the Accelerated Class for Science (ACS) in ACS (Independent). 

Since that fateful encounter, we survived countless exams, group projects and late-night study sessions. Together, we matriculated into the Advanced Science Program (ASP) classes in Y5 and Y6, graduating with the same IB score of 44 points.

Upon graduation, we decided to put our shared experience to good use and guide the next generation of students to have a  more enjoyable O Level/IB experience.

Tran Ngoc Chau

Tran Ngoc Chau

Co-founder | TOK Consultant

Ngoc Chau graduated from ACSI’s IB program with a score of 44 points and A for both TOK and EE. Although he was a science student, Ngoc Chau has a thing for big words and long sentences. For him, writing his TOK essay (and getting an A for it) was the best part of his IB journey, and he hopes to make it just as enjoyable for you. (If not, hopefully you’ll at least have a grade worth celebrating). He thinks about life and meaning on a daily basis and enthusiastically shares his thoughts with his less-enthusiastic friends. He also invests heavily in collecting old books like the nerd he is. Matriculating into UCL medical school.
