Tutor standards
How We Vet Our AP Chemistry Tutors
Subject knowledge is the baseline. Every tutor is also checked for how clearly they teach.
Qualified in their subject area (degrees, certifications, or equivalent experience)
Experienced with their curriculum specialisation (IB, A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE)
Verified through background and credentials checks
Trained in online teaching best practices
Required to maintain 4.5+ ratings from students
Exam boards we cover
AP Chemistry Exam Format
Two sections, each worth half the score.
Section I: multiple choice
50%60 questions in 1 hour 30 minutes, answered in the Bluebook app.
Section II: free response
50%7 questions in 1 hour 45 minutes: three long questions worth 10 points each and four short questions worth 4 points each, handwritten in a paper booklet.
The College Board course
APThe standard AP Chemistry course, equivalent to a one-year introductory college general chemistry course.
AP Chemistry in Dubai
We teach AP Chemistry students from Dubai's American-curriculum schools, including:
- American School of Dubai
Lessons fit around the school day and weekends, and we plan revision backwards from the early-May exam date. AP credit and placement policies vary, so check each college with the College Board credit policy search. Find more online tutors in Dubai, or compare IB Chemistry tutors in Dubai. We are an independent tutoring provider and are not affiliated with any school.

The 9 AP Chemistry Units
Our tutors work through all nine units. Unit 3 and Unit 8 carry the most weight, so they get the most lesson time, but every unit shows up in both the multiple-choice and free-response sections.
1 Atomic Structure and Properties (7–9%)
Our tutors cover moles and molar mass, mass spectrometry, electron configurations, photoelectron spectroscopy and periodic trends.
2 Compound Structure and Properties (7–9%)
We go through the types of bonding, ionic solids, metals and alloys, then Lewis diagrams, resonance, formal charge, VSEPR shapes and hybridisation.
3 Properties of Substances and Mixtures (18–22%)
This is the heaviest unit. Our tutors cover intermolecular forces, the ideal gas law, kinetic molecular theory, solutions, chromatography, spectroscopy and the Beer–Lambert law.
4 Chemical Reactions (7–9%)
We practise writing net ionic equations and doing stoichiometry and titration calculations, and we cover the main reaction types, including acid–base and redox.
5 Kinetics (7–9%)
Our tutors explain rate laws, the collision model and energy profiles, then show how reaction mechanisms, the rate-determining step and catalysts fit together.
6 Thermochemistry (7–9%)
We cover endothermic and exothermic processes, calorimetry and heat transfer, bond enthalpies, enthalpy of formation and Hess's law.
7 Equilibrium (7–9%)
Our tutors teach how to find K and equilibrium concentrations, apply Le Châtelier's principle, and handle solubility equilibria, Ksp and the common-ion effect.
8 Acids and Bases (11–15%)
We spend plenty of time here. Our tutors cover pH, weak acid and base equilibria with ICE tables, titration curves, buffers and the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation.
9 Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry (7–9%)
Our tutors cover entropy, Gibbs free energy and favourability, galvanic and electrolytic cells, cell potential under standard and nonstandard conditions, and electrolysis.

What we fix
Where AP Chemistry Points Are Lost
Particulate-level explanations
AP Chemistry rewards explaining with particles and forces, not just numbers.
How tutoring helps:Practise claim, evidence and reasoning answers.
Equilibrium and acid–base calculations
ICE tables, Ka and Kb, buffers and titration curves are a large share of the exam, with Unit 8 alone up to 15%.
How tutoring helps:Give each calculation a fixed layout and practise it to the clock.
Long FRQs under time pressure
Three 10-point questions in 105 minutes, handwritten, leave little room for slow starts.
How tutoring helps:Set timed, handwritten practice marked to College Board scoring guidelines.
Experimental design
Many FRQs ask how to design or evaluate a procedure.
How tutoring helps:Practise naming variables, sources of error and their effect.
