Schedule (Online, Live Lessons)
Sundays – A2 Chemistry:
11:00 – 12:30 (BST)
Our A-level Chemistry lessons are held online in small groups, giving you live interaction with the tutor and other students. Each session is 1.5 hours, focused on exam practice and technique, with recordings available if you ever need to catch up.
What We Cover
Our comprehensive A-level Chemistry tutoring programme will guide you through the entire A2 syllabus. Each lesson is designed by an experienced tutor and focuses on high-yield content, tricky concepts, and exam technique. See below for the topics we cover across Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry.
Physical Chemistry
- Thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy)
- Rate equations and orders of reaction
- Equilibrium constants (Kc, Kp)
- Acids, bases, and pH (strong/weak acids, Ka, pKa, buffer solutions)
- Electrochemical cells and redox potential
Organic Chemistry
- Aromatic chemistry (benzene, electrophilic substitution)
- Amines, amino acids, and polymers
- Carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters)
- Acylation and condensation reactions
- NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry
- Chromatography and qualitative organic analysis
- Synthesis routes and organic pathways
Inorganic Chemistry
- Periodicity and Group 2 elements
- Group 7 (halogens and halide ions)
- Transition metals (complexes, ligand substitution, colours)
- Redox chemistry of transition elements
- Aqueous ion chemistry (acidity, ligand reactions, precipitation tests)
This programme is tailored for AQA and OCR exam boards.
September Lesson (Organic Chemistry)
14th: Basic Concepts of Organic Chemistry & Alkanes
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.
21st: Alkenes
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.
28th: Haloalkanes
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.
Who can join?
- Students aiming for A/A* in A-level Chemistry.
- Students on AQA or OCR exam boards.
- Anyone who wants exam-focused support, not just content teaching.
Why Do I Need a Chemistry Tutor?
Many students struggle with the step up to A-level Chemistry: complex concepts, detailed calculations, and exam technique all make it one of the toughest subjects. A tutor isn’t just helpful when you’re stuck, but can guide you through the entire course, making sure you stay on top of content and are fully prepared for exams.
With top universities placing a heavy emphasis on strong Chemistry grades for Medicine, Dentistry, and Science pathways, getting an A or A* can make all the difference. Focused, exam-based tutoring will help you boost your confidence, avoid common pitfalls, and secure the grades you need.

A-level Tuition – F.A.Q.
Do you offer A-level 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.
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.
