What is KBO and how do I qualify for it?

KBO (Korean Biology Olympiad) is South Korea's premier biology competition. Students first compete at school and regional levels, then progress through multiple rounds of national examinations. Top performers qualify for IBO (International Biology Olympiad) team selection.

How are your classes scheduled for Korean students?

We offer flexible scheduling with sessions available in KST (Korea Standard Time) evenings and weekends. Live classes are recorded for review, and our platform allows 24/7 access to study materials.

Do you cover the complete KBO syllabus?

Yes! Our curriculum is based on Campbell Biology and covers all topics tested in KBO including Cell Biology, Genetics, Plant Biology, Animal Physiology, Ecology, and Biosystematics. We also include practical components.

What makes your coaching different from local Korean coaching?

We offer personalized 1-on-1 mentorship from IBO medalists and experienced coaches, extensive international past paper practice, flexible online scheduling, and a proven track record of producing Olympiad qualifiers.

How do payments work for Korean students?

We accept international payments via credit/debit cards and PayPal. Fees are listed in both KRW and USD for transparency. Monthly and quarterly payment options are available.

Can you help with IBO preparation after KBO?

Absolutely! Our IBO Elite program is specifically designed for students who qualify for the national team. We provide international-level preparation including past IBO papers, advanced practical training, and intensive theory sessions.
