Tychr's webinar and workshop programme gives students and parents direct access to the admissions expertise that changes outcomes, every month, completely free.
Most events are free. All are worth attending.
Tychr runs live webinars every month across admissions strategy, essay coaching, test preparation, and academic study skills. Spots are limited, so register early to secure your place. All registered attendees receive the replay recording within 48 hours of the event.
Learn effective IB Mathematics strategies, exam techniques, and common mistakes to avoid from experienced IB educators.
What it covers
IB Mathematics exam strategies, problem-solving techniques, time management, past-paper analysis, and preparation tips.
Workshops are different from webinars. Where webinars deliver information, workshops build skills, with structured exercises, live feedback on student work, and small-group interaction that moves participants from understanding to doing. Tychr runs workshops online throughout the year, with occasional in-person events in partnership with international schools in key cities.
An interactive workshop designed to help students create an effective study plan and improve their exam performance.
Best for: IB students preparing for upcoming examinations
RegisterEvery Tychr webinar is recorded in full and made available to registered attendees within 48 hours. Free recordings are available on the Tychr YouTube channel and website. Full library access, including workshop recordings and Q&A transcripts, is available to students enrolled in a Tychr programme via the student portal.
A recorded session covering practical strategies, exam techniques, and study methods that can help IB Mathematics students improve their scores.
Tychr's US college admissions webinar series is designed for students who are serious about the process — not students looking for generic encouragement, but students who want to understand exactly how the Common App works, what Ivy League supplementals need to accomplish, and how to build a school list that actually makes sense for their profile. All US admissions webinars run 60 minutes presentation plus a 20-minute live Q&A, and are available on demand after broadcast.
How admissions officers navigate the platform, which sections are read first and most carefully, and where most students inadvertently undermine strong applications through poor presentation of otherwise strong material.
Key takeaways
UK university admissions is frequently misunderstood by students applying from international school systems, particularly those who've also been exposed to US admissions guidance. The two systems have almost nothing in common strategically. Tychr's UK webinar series is built specifically for students navigating UCAS for the first time.
The UCAS personal statement has moved from a single 4,000-character free-form document to a three-section structured format. This webinar covers what the new format requires, how the scoring criteria have changed, and why the new format actually rewards students who have genuine academic engagement rather than students who write well about nothing in particular.
Key takeaways
Tychr's test preparation workshops are not content lectures. They are diagnostic, skill-building sessions designed to show students exactly where they are losing marks, and give them the specific techniques to stop losing them.
Online · 2.5 hours · Max 15 students
Students take a full SAT Reading & Writing or Math section under exam conditions, with results reviewed immediately and each error categorised by type, followed by targeted technique coaching and a second practice section.
Key takeaways
The IB Diploma and Cambridge IGCSE are demanding not just because the content is difficult, but because they require a level of academic skill, time management, exam technique, and Internal Assessment methodology that most students are never explicitly taught. Tychr's IB and IGCSE study skills webinars bridge that gap.
Run separately for Group 3 (Individuals & Societies), Group 4 (Sciences), and Group 5 (Mathematics). Covers what examiners in each group are rewarding criterion by criterion, the most common IA mistakes at each criterion level, how to choose a research question that is both interesting and assessable, and the timeline and milestone structure that prevents last-minute IA disasters.
The Extended Essay is 4,000 words of original research assessed at near-university standard. This webinar covers selecting a focused, assessable research question, structuring the argument across the word limit, working effectively with a supervisor, and the specific elements that distinguish A-band EEs from B and C-band submissions.
Tychr's essay writing masterclasses are the closest thing to a private coaching session available in a group format. Each masterclass works through the full essay development process — brainstorming, structure, drafting, and revision — with live examples and, in workshop formats, direct feedback on student work.
Webinar format · 75 minutes
Runs through Tychr's full brainstorming methodology, including the specific questions that surface compelling topics, the exercise for identifying what actually makes each student unusual, and the test for distinguishing a topic that impresses from one that reveals. Includes three anonymised student profiles worked through live.
Webinar format · 60 minutes
Deconstructs what an effective "Why Us?" essay actually accomplishes and works through live before-and-after examples for Harvard, Columbia, Dartmouth, and Cornell supplementals.
Knowing that extracurricular depth matters is different from knowing what to do about it. These workshops move from principle to practice, giving students a specific, actionable development plan they can implement immediately.
Webinar · 60 minutes · Best for Grade 9–11, September–October
Introduces the concept of the extracurricular spike, the area of genuine depth that will define how admissions committees read the entire application, and guides students through the process of identifying theirs through a live working exercise.
Webinar · 75 minutes
Covers the full research landscape for high schoolers: the difference between prestigious and merely interesting programmes, how to apply for RSI, Simons, and Polygence successfully, and how to present research experience regardless of whether it was published. Includes a live Q&A with programme recommendations.
Financial aid is the most consequential topic in university admissions that is least well understood, particularly by international families approaching the US system for the first time. Tychr's financial aid webinars deliver precise, actionable information rather than vague guidance.
60 minutes + Q&A
Explains which schools are genuinely need-blind for international students (Harvard, Princeton, MIT) and what "meeting full need" means in practice, how need-aware schools handle financial circumstances, and what families at different income levels can realistically expect to pay. Includes live calculation examples using public financial aid data from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Columbia.
75 minutes + Q&A · Designed for parents
Walks through the full CSS Profile form section by section, explaining what each question is asking, what documentation is needed, how to handle business interests and non-custodial parent information, and the most common errors that result in delayed or reduced aid offers.
University applications are stressful for students. They are also, for many parents, intensely anxiety-inducing, particularly when the process is unfamiliar, the timeline feels short, and the stakes feel enormous. Tychr's parent webinars are designed specifically for parents who want to understand the process well enough to support their child effectively, without taking over.
60 minutes + Q&A · No students, parents only
A complete overview of how the major university systems work — US Common App, UCAS, and key EU pathways — with specific focus on what parents can and cannot influence, the timeline of the process, and the most common ways parental involvement helps vs. hinders.
45 minutes + Q&A
Covers what supportive involvement looks like vs. unhelpful involvement, how to give useful feedback when your child shares a draft, and why the essay that sounds most like your child, not most impressive, is the one that works.
Our webinars are designed for students, parents, and educators interested in IB, IGCSE, and other international education programs.
Every Tychr webinar and workshop is hosted by a member of our senior admissions counselling or tutoring team — not external speakers, not junior staff, and not people with only theoretical knowledge of the process they're discussing.

“I've watched a lot of YouTube videos about college admissions and read a lot of blog posts. This was completely different — specific in a way that everything else isn't. My counsellor told us exactly which section of the Common App admissions officers at Harvard read first and why. I restructured my activities list the next day.”
Priya, Grade 12, Mumbai
After attending: "What Ivy League Admissions Officers Actually Read First"
“I went in knowing my Biology IA research question wasn't great but not knowing why. By the end of the session I understood exactly what was wrong with it and how to fix it. Something about seeing the criterion-by-criterion breakdown live made it click.”
Marcus, Grade 11, London

Every school community is different. Tychr's school and organisation partnership programme is built around your specific context — we work with your counselling team to understand your student profile, your university destination data, and the specific gaps in knowledge or preparation that would benefit most from expert input, then design an event or programme that addresses those gaps directly.
Common Partnership Formats
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell are not interchangeable. This webinar goes school by school, covering what genuinely differentiates each institution and how to write toward that culture specifically.
Key takeaways
How to build a list based on actual admissions probability, genuine institutional fit, and strategic balance, rather than name recognition alone.
Key takeaways
The ED/SCEA decision is one of the highest-leverage strategic choices in the US application process, and one of the most poorly understood. This webinar covers exactly when ED is the right move, when it isn't, what the real acceptance rate advantage looks like at each school, and how to evaluate ED commitment vs. financial aid flexibility.
Students frequently apply to both without a clear understanding of the differences between them, in culture, teaching style, course structure, and interview approach. This webinar goes side by side through the two institutions.
Key takeaways
The most misunderstood event in the UK admissions calendar. This webinar demystifies the Oxbridge interview, explaining exactly what tutors are evaluating, how to approach an unfamiliar problem productively, and what distinguishes the candidates who are offered places from those who aren't.
Key takeaways
Beyond Oxbridge, the Russell Group contains some of the world's strongest universities, each with its own admissions priorities, subject strengths, and student culture. This webinar covers what their personal statement readers are specifically looking for.
Medicine is the most competitive course in UK university admissions. This webinar covers UCAT preparation and score strategy, the BMAT (for schools that still require it), the medical personal statement structure, and how to prepare for medical school interviews (MMI and panel formats).
Online · 2 hours · Max 12 students
Focused specifically on the SAT Math section, covering the question types that produce the most errors for international students: advanced algebra, data analysis problems, and the calculator-permitted vs. no-calculator strategy distinction.
Online · 90 minutes · Max 15 students
The ACT Science section is the least familiar to international students and the most trainable. This workshop demystifies the section entirely, covering the three question types, time management strategy, and the fact that zero science knowledge is required to score full marks.
Online · 2 hours · Max 12 students
Students bring their current practice Task 1 and Task 2 essays. The workshop covers the most common band-score-limiting mistakes, the examiner's marking criteria in plain language, and a structural template for each task.
Key takeaways
Demystifies both the Exhibition (3 objects linked to a core theme) and the Essay (1,600 words responding to a prescribed title), with specific guidance on what the IB is actually assessing and how to write toward those criteria rather than around them.
How to build a revision schedule across six HL/SL subjects, when to do past papers, and how to use mark schemes actively rather than passively, with subject-specific revision approaches for Mathematics, Sciences, and Humanities.
The difference between an A* and an A in most IGCSE subjects is not content knowledge, it's exam technique. This webinar covers how to read IGCSE command words, how mark schemes work, and the specific structural approaches that consistently earn maximum marks.
Key takeaways
Webinar format · 75 minutes
Built specifically around the new three-section UCAS format. Covers what "super-curricular engagement" means, how much of the statement should be about academic content vs. skills and experience, and how an Oxford personal statement reader decides which files to shortlist for interview.
Workshop format · Max 8 students · 2 hours
Students submit a personal statement draft in advance. The Tychr counsellor works through each draft live, identifying the central tension, specific language problems, and structural issues, with the group observing and learning from each piece of feedback. Participation requires submitting a draft at least 48 hours before the session.
Workshop · Max 10 students · 90 minutes · Best for Grade 10–11, January–March
Students submit their current activities list in advance. The workshop reviews each profile in turn, identifying what's working, what's missing, and what could be repositioned or deepened before the application season.
Workshop · Max 12 students · 2 hours
Every activity entry in the Common App is 150 characters. Students submit their current activities list in advance, and the workshop reworks 2–3 entries per student live, demonstrating the techniques that transform generic descriptions into compelling ones.
60 minutes + Q&A
Covers the landscape of external scholarship funding available to international students, including country-of-origin scholarships, subject-specific scholarships, need-based external awards, and which scholarship databases are worth using. Includes a live Q&A on country- and subject-specific scholarships.
45 minutes + Q&A
Covers how to calculate the actual net price from a financial aid letter, the difference between grants and loans in aid packages, how to evaluate aid renewal conditions, and when and how to appeal a financial aid offer that seems lower than expected.
45 minutes + Q&A
Prepares parents for every possible outcome: how to respond to an acceptance including the financial aid review process, how to support a child through a rejection without minimising it, and what the waitlist actually means and what can be done about it.
60 minutes + Q&A
Covers curriculum choices and their university implications, how to think about extracurricular development from the early years, when to start preparing for standardised tests, and the most important thing parents can do to help without creating pressure.
“I cannot tell you how relieved I was after this webinar. We had been putting off dealing with the CSS Profile because we found it so confusing. We submitted the form the following weekend. We would have saved weeks of anxiety if we'd attended this earlier.”
Parent of Grade 12 student, Dubai
After attending: "The CSS Profile, A Step-by-Step Walk-Through"
“I was scoring 24 on the Science section every time I practised and I genuinely thought I was bad at science. The webinar showed me the section has nothing to do with science knowledge. I scored 31 on my next practice. I'm not exaggerating.”
Fatima, Grade 11, Cairo
After attending: "ACT Science Section Decoded"
“My school had told me to 'just be myself' in my Oxford interview. This webinar told me what that actually means in a subject interview context, and gave me a framework for working through unfamiliar problems out loud. I got an offer.”
David, Grade 12, Singapore
After attending: "Oxbridge Interview Preparation Webinar"
“We're two years away from the application process and this webinar made it feel manageable for the first time. We now have a clear picture of what our daughter needs to build over the next two years. Worth every minute.”
