I am very pleased I purchased the platinum support package for my daughter… Chemistry tuition from Fatima was excellent, and my daughter believes it to be a firm part of her gaining her A grade (school predicted C). On results day, she secured a place to study medicine and is delighted. I don’t think this would have been the case without Medichut’s support.

A-Level Chemistry Lessons September 2025
We’ll revisit the core foundations of organic chemistry, including key definitions, bonding, and structures. Then we’ll move on to alkanes, focusing on their reactions, mechanisms, and tricky exam questions.
This session covers the structure and reactivity of alkenes. You’ll practise drawing and explaining mechanisms, tackling past-paper questions on electrophilic addition, and learning exam strategies for longer 4–6 mark answers.
We’ll explore the properties and reactions of haloalkanes, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination. The focus will be on applying knowledge to difficult past-paper questions and mastering common exam pitfalls.
A-Level Chemistry Lessons – October
We’ll cover the key reactions of alcohols, including oxidation and substitution, and look closely at their mechanisms. You’ll also practise past-paper questions to strengthen exam technique and avoid common pitfalls.
This session focuses on spectroscopy (IR, MS, NMR) to identify unknown compounds. We’ll then move on to multi-step organic synthesis, practising how to link reactions together and approach exam-style synthesis questions with confidence.
We’ll explore aldehydes and ketones in detail, covering their reactions (oxidation, reduction, nucleophilic addition) and chemical tests. You’ll practise exam questions to apply these mechanisms and sharpen your problem-solving skills.
This session covers the structure and reactivity of benzene and its derivatives. We’ll focus on electrophilic substitution reactions, drawing mechanisms, and applying knowledge to challenging exam questions on aromatic chemistry.
A-Level Chemistry Lessons – November
We’ll look at the properties and reactions of carboxylic acids, including neutralisation, esterification, and reduction. The focus will be on applying these reactions in exam questions and understanding the reasoning behind key mechanisms.
This session explores the high reactivity of acyl chlorides and their reactions with water, alcohols, ammonia, and amines. You’ll practise drawing mechanisms, linking reactions, and tackling exam-style problems.
We’ll cover how esters are made and hydrolysed under different conditions. You’ll work through synthesis-style questions and practise explaining mechanisms clearly to gain full marks in exam answers.
This session focuses on the structure, basicity, and reactions of amines. We’ll also practise their role in organic synthesis pathways, linking them back to other topics through exam-style application.
We’ll explore amino acids, their zwitterion structure, reactions, and behaviour as amphoteric compounds. You’ll also practise exam questions involving peptides and protein structures to build strong exam technique.
A-Level Chemistry Lessons – December
We’ll go over key purification techniques, including recrystallisation, distillation, and chromatography, and then apply them in the context of organic synthesis. You’ll practise exam questions that test practical knowledge and synthesis pathways.
This session focuses on building multi-step synthesis routes and confidently linking reactions together. We’ll also cover methods of forming carbon–carbon bonds, with plenty of exam-style practice to strengthen problem-solving skills.
We’ll consolidate your understanding of IR, MS, and NMR spectroscopy and apply it to identifying unknown compounds. The emphasis will be on approaching exam questions methodically and mastering the interpretation of data under timed conditions.

A-level Tuition – F.A.Q.
Do you offer A-level Chemistry tutoring for all exam boards?
Our weekend lessons cover major exam boards – AQA and OCR. Our tutors are subject experts who adapt teaching to the syllabus and exam style you’re working towards.
How can A-level tutoring help me improve my grades?
Tutoring provides structured support, targeted practice, and expert exam strategies. Our weekend lessons focus on tricky topics, past paper practice, and exam technique, so you gain both confidence and accuracy. Students often see steady grade improvements when combining lessons with independent study.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects?
Yes, in addition to Chemistry, we also offer tutoring for Biology and Maths. Our weekend lessons focus on the trickiest topics, exam-style questions, and practical strategies to help you improve both understanding and performance. Lessons are designed to build confidence, strengthen skills, and support steady grade improvement.
How are the weekend lessons structured?
Each lesson begins with a short 5–10 minute recap of the key topic content, followed by a focus on the hardest exam-style questions. Students attempt these under timed conditions before the tutor goes through the answers step by step, explaining exam strategies and memory techniques. The emphasis is on mastering challenging questions and exam technique, not just content recall.
Do I need to prepare before the lesson?
Yes. Students are expected to review the topic content in advance. Before each session, you’ll receive a list of what you should be familiar with and some revision notes to guide you. This ensures that lesson time can be spent tackling high-level exam questions rather than covering the basics.
What kind of exam questions will we cover?
We focus on the most challenging questions taken from the past 10–15 years of exam papers, particularly longer 4–6 mark questions. These are carefully chosen to stretch your understanding and develop exam technique.
Will I get homework after each lesson?
Yes, tutors may assign follow-up practice to reinforce what you’ve learned. They’ll also give a preview of the next topic so you know what to prepare in advance.
Can I access the lessons afterwards?
Absolutely. All sessions are recorded, so you can re-watch them anytime for revision. This is especially useful if you miss a class or want to revisit a tricky topic.
Will slides or resources be shared?
Slides themselves won’t be distributed, but you’re welcome to take photos during the lesson. Any extra resources the tutor recommends will be uploaded to the shared lesson drive for students to access.
