Our Standard
Carefully Selected Tutors, Matched With Purpose
Strong subject knowledge
Tutors are chosen for academic background, subject expertise and clear explanations.
Exam-focused teaching
Lessons use specifications, mark schemes and past-paper practice where relevant.
Structured tutor approval
Tutors complete interviews, teaching checks and our internal review process.
Course-specific matching
Students are matched by subject, qualification and exam board.
Lesson Flow
From Confusion To Calm, One Lesson At A Time.
Our tutors cover every topic systematically, with extra focus on the calculation-heavy and organic chemistry sections where most students drop marks.
Step 1
Pinpoint the gaps
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Teach the mark scheme
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Track the lift
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
What we cover
A Syllabus Map Students Can Actually Follow.
Break the specification into manageable topics, then build confidence from the first concept to exam-ready application.
01
Atomic Structure & The Periodic Table
Start hereProtons, neutrons, electrons, isotopes, electronic configuration, and periodic trends in reactivity, ionisation energy, and atomic radius.
02
Bonding & Structure
Ionic, covalent, metallic, and van der Waals bonding — with diagrams, dot-and-cross notation, and properties of each structure type.
03
Stoichiometry & The Mole
Relative atomic mass, molar mass, empirical and molecular formulae, percentage composition, and yield calculations — a core exam skill.
04
Acids, Bases & Salts
pH scale, acid-base reactions, preparation of salts, indicators, neutralisation, and the different types of oxides.
05
Rates of Reaction & Energetics
Collision theory, factors affecting rate, activation energy, exothermic and endothermic reactions, and energy profile diagrams.
06
Electrochemistry & Redox
Electrolysis, half-equations, the reactivity series, oxidation states, and redox reactions — tested heavily in Extended papers.
07
Organic Chemistry
Homologous series, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, addition and substitution reactions — the section students most often leave until too late.

Common Blockers
Where Students Struggle And How We Fix It.
1Balancing and writing equations+
We practise balancing equations daily using a structured approach: identify reactants and products, adjust coefficients, and verify atom counts. State symbols and ionic equations follow the same methodology.
2Organic chemistry mechanisms+
Students learn to name compounds, predict products, and write equations for each reaction type. We build a reactions map that links all organic families, which makes exam questions much more predictable.
3Mole calculations+
We teach the mole triangle and work through every calculation type — mass, volume, concentration, titration — so the process becomes automatic under exam conditions.
The Topics Students Find Hardest
Some chemistry topics cost more marks than others. These are the ones our tutors spend extra time on:
Moles and stoichiometry
The maths of chemistry. We break mole calculations into small, repeatable steps until students can do them without prompting.
Electrochemistry
Electrolysis rules, electrode equations, and the reactivity series. Taught with diagrams and past-paper questions, not just definitions.
Organic chemistry
Homologous series, functional groups, and reaction pathways. We use simple maps so students stop mixing up alkanes, alkenes, and alcohols.
Energetics
Bond energy calculations, enthalpy changes, and rates of reaction graphs. Lots of worked examples, marked step by step.
Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical) help: Paper 6 tests practical skills on paper: planning experiments, reading graphs, and spotting errors. Many strong students lose marks here because they have never been taught how to answer these questions. Our tutors work through past Paper 6 questions with your child, teaching the standard techniques for variables, fair tests, tables, and conclusions, so the paper becomes predictable marks instead of a surprise.

Quick questions
FAQs About IGCSE Chemistry
Helpful answers about exam boards, syllabus topics, tutor matching and lesson support.
Is organic chemistry on the IGCSE syllabus?
Yes — organic chemistry is a core part of the Extended tier and contributes substantially to Paper 2. We cover alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, and their reactions in detail. It is also one of the most predictable sections for exam questions.
What is the alternative to practical?
The alternative to practical (Paper 6 on CIE 0620) tests your ability to plan experiments, analyse data, and evaluate results without performing the experiments. It is worth 20% of your grade. We cover all the common practical scenarios in dedicated sessions.
How do mole calculations work?
Mole calculations use the relationship between mass, molar mass, and number of moles. We teach a step-by-step method that applies across all types: empirical formula, titration, percentage yield, and concentration. Most students find these click within 2–3 sessions of focussed practice.
Do you cover both Foundation and Higher tier for Edexcel?
Yes. Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry (4CH1) does not have the same Core/Extended split as CIE, but we tailor content depth to your target grade and work through the relevant past papers.
Can you help with Chemistry IA at IGCSE level?
IGCSE does not include a coursework IA in the same way as IB, but we provide full practical skills support for Paper 6 (or alternative to practical) which tests the same analytical thinking in a written format.
How much does IGCSE chemistry tuition cost?
Fees depend on the exam board, level (Core or Extended), and how many lessons per week your child needs. Start with a free trial lesson: your tutor will assess your child's level first, then we confirm the exact fee before any paid lessons begin. No commitment is needed for the trial.
How fast will my child's grades improve?
Every student starts from a different point, so no honest tutor can promise a grade or a timeline. What we can do is measure: your child is tested topic by topic, you see the scores after each past-paper cycle, and weak areas are re-taught until the marks move. Most progress comes from fixing a small number of repeated mistakes, and that is what the lessons focus on.
