AED 55/hour · Free 30-minute trial
Online one-to-one IGCSE Chemistry tuition for Dubai students on Cambridge 0620, 0971 or Edexcel 4CH1, from AED 55 per hour. Tell us the board, Core or Extended route, and the last paper that lost marks. The free 30-minute trial starts there, then moves to mole calculations, equations, practical skills and past papers on UAE time.

Dubai schools enter IGCSE Chemistry through different routes. Cambridge 0620 and 0971 split into Core and Extended and add a practical paper. Edexcel 4CH1 is one tier with two written papers, and the newer modular 4XCH1 splits the course into two resittable units. A specialist IGCSE Chemistry tutor starts from your child's exact route, then targets the calculations and written answers it rewards.

Tutor standards
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
Graded A*–G. Extended students sit Paper 2 (multiple choice, 45 min), Paper 4 (theory, 1 h 15) and Paper 5 or 6 (practical, 20%). Core students sit Papers 1 and 3 for grades C–G. A Periodic Table and qualitative-analysis notes are provided in the exam.
The 0620 content and papers, graded 9–1. A school enters one or the other, never both in the same series.
Single tier, graded 9–1. Paper 1C (2 h, 110 marks) and Paper 2C (1 h 15, 70 marks, adds the bold 'C' content). Required practicals such as chromatography, electrolysis and ester preparation are examined in both papers.
Two units of 1 h 40 each, worth 50% each, first examined in June 2025. Units can be sat in June or November and resat, so revision is planned unit by unit.
Lessons follow the OxfordAQA specification and past papers for students on that route.
We teach IGCSE Chemistry students from schools across Dubai, including:
Lessons run after school Monday to Thursday, on Friday afternoon and at weekends, adjusted for Ramadan timetables. We are an independent tutoring provider and are not affiliated with any school. After IGCSE, see A Level Chemistry tutors in Dubai.

Free 30-Minute TrialSyllabus coverage
Topic names follow the Cambridge 0620 syllabus; Edexcel 4CH1 covers the same chemistry under principles, inorganic, physical and organic chemistry.
Our tutors cover kinetic particle theory, changes of state, diffusion and interpreting heating and cooling curves.
We go through atomic structure, isotopes, ionic, covalent and metallic bonding, and giant structures.
We work on formulae, equations, the mole, reacting masses, concentrations, gas volumes, yield and purity.
Lessons cover electrolysis of molten and aqueous compounds, electrode products and hydrogen fuel cells.
Our tutors cover exothermic and endothermic changes, bond energies, rates, reversible reactions, equilibrium and redox.
We go through pH, neutralisation, oxides and preparing soluble and insoluble salts.
We work on Group I and VII trends, transition elements, the reactivity series, extraction, corrosion, water and air quality.
Lessons cover alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids and polymers, plus chromatography and tests for ions and gases.
Areas we cover
Lessons are live online, so IGCSE Chemistry students anywhere in Dubai can book on UAE time. Area names describe the families served and do not imply a physical teaching centre.
What we fix
Students mix up mass, moles and ratio, and the working loses its thread.
How tutoring helps:Use one fixed layout every time: equation, ratio, moles, answer with units.
"Strong bonds" earns less than "strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions".
How tutoring helps:Drill the exact wording examiners credit.
Balancing, state symbols and half-equations at the electrodes slip under time pressure.
How tutoring helps:Short daily practice, marked against the mark scheme.
Identifying variables, drawing results tables and suggesting improvements is worth 20% on Cambridge Paper 5 or 6.
How tutoring helps:Practise Paper 6 and Edexcel practical-based questions in writing, as exam-style questions.

Reviews from Dubai IGCSE Chemistry students and parents.
Sara A.
Parent of IGCSE Student · Mirdif, Dubai
My daughter was finding IGCSE Chemistry difficult, especially topics like bonding and organic chemistry. After starting lessons with Combo Tutors Academy, she became much more confident. The tutor explains everything clearly and gives her plenty of exam-style practice, which has really helped with her preparation.
Yousef A.
IGCSE Student · Arabian Ranches, Dubai
I was struggling with Chemistry calculations and past-paper questions before joining Combo Tutors Academy. My tutor breaks each topic into simple steps and explains where I was losing marks. My understanding has improved a lot, and I now feel much more prepared for my IGCSE exams.
IGCSE Chemistry in Dubai
Yes. Tutor matching covers Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 and 0971 and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Chemistry 4CH1, including the modular 4XCH1. Tell us your child's school and syllabus code before the trial. Our guide to choosing online IGCSE tutors in the UAE explains how the exam boards differ.
Two routes: Core (Papers 1 and 3, grades C–G) and Extended (Papers 2 and 4, grades A*–G), plus Paper 5 practical test or Paper 6 alternative to practical. Edexcel 4CH1 has no tiers: everyone sits Papers 1 and 2. If your child plans A Level Chemistry, ask the sixth form which route it expects. 0971 is the same course graded 9–1.
Paper 6 is written, so tutors can fully prepare it online: methods, apparatus, results tables and errors for common practicals. Paper 5 is a lab exam, so online lessons cover the method and analysis while hands-on work stays at school.
Lessons are live one-to-one online on UAE time, so students anywhere in Dubai can join. Families elsewhere in the UAE can book too, for example through our IGCSE Chemistry tutors in Abu Dhabi.
Starting in Term 1 leaves time to fix calculation gaps before mocks. The 2026–27 winter break (14 December to 3 January) suits a focused revision block, and spring break (5–11 April) suits timed past papers before the May/June exams.
Each subject has its own specialist, matched by syllabus code. Many Dubai families book Chemistry alongside our IGCSE Physics tutors in Dubai so both plans follow the same exam timeline.
