Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a chemistry tutor help my child with the abstract nature of the subject?

A chemistry tutor can use different teaching methods, analogies, and real-world examples to make abstract concepts like the mole, ions, or giant covalent structures much more tangible. They can break down complex ideas into smaller, easier-to-understand parts and work through problems at your child's pace until it clicks.

My child struggles with maths in GCSE Chemistry. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many students find the mathematical side of GCSE Chemistry challenging, especially with balancing equations, reacting mass calculations, and concentrations. An online chemistry tutor can patiently walk your child through these step-by-step, helping them build the maths skills and confidence needed to master these problem types.

How do you help prepare students for the 'required practicals' and their role in the final grade?

While practicals don't have a separate exam, understanding the methods, potential errors, and how to analyse results is crucial for exam questions. A GCSE chemistry tutor can go over the key practicals, explain the underlying theory, and practice exam-style questions related to them, ensuring your child is fully prepared to explain and interpret observations.

Is it possible to improve by a whole grade in GCSE Chemistry?

Yes, it's very common! We've seen that 9 out of 10 students improve by at least one grade, and often more. With an average of just 8 hours of dedicated one-to-one tutoring, many students move up a whole GCSE grade, making a real difference to their overall results.

My child is doing Combined Science, but wants to study A-Level Chemistry. Will a tutor help bridge the gap?

Yes, a tutor can definitely help. While Triple Science covers more depth, a dedicated chemistry tutor can identify any specific areas where a Combined Science student might need extra content or a deeper understanding. They can fill these knowledge gaps and build the strong foundations required for a smooth transition to A-Level Chemistry, making sure your child feels prepared and confident.

When is the best time to start tutoring for GCSE Chemistry?

There's no single 'best' time, but starting earlier, especially during Year 10 when core foundations like 'the mole' are introduced, can prevent small confusions from becoming bigger problems later on. However, tutors can also provide highly effective revision support in Year 11 to consolidate knowledge and target exam techniques.
