Eslam M
Qualified teacher who enjoys tutoring maths and chemistry Chemistry
My motto is simple, nothing is hard, either we know or we don't. Practice is the key to excellence. I have a Bachelor of Science, specializing in Chemistry, and have a PGDE from the University of Edinburgh. Here is what I do. I don’t just teach mathematics and chemistry; I teach you how to understand the subject. I explain the topics in a very simple way for you to understand, I follow with an example, then I ask you a simple question to see how you think. I do try to prove the subject easy, I try to prove to you that you are capable of doing it. It is you’re your answers that tells me what to ...

Ifrah I
I have never used a private tutor before but my 15 year old daughter has started taking additional weekly Nat 5 Chemistry lessons with Ifrah and she has been incredibly patient with her.
She checks in with her in relation to what she feels she needs to work on and takes time to understand her learning style, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
The lessons are going really well and my daughter’s confidence is growing through this additional learning. Thanks Ifrah!

Filip S
My son was really struggling with his Nat5 Chemistry. Filip looked like he had excellent 5 star reviews so approached him and requested some help. He was brilliant from the start, very tolerant until we got up and running on the computer through the Tutorful Portal. My son sits his Nat5 this coming week and is displaying great confidence about his Chemistry. Every time my son had a lesson with Filip he came away energised and more confident. Week by week I saw his confidence grow. Thank you Filip for all your help. You've been amazing!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How does a National 5 in Chemistry compare to a GCSE in Chemistry?
While different, both qualifications aim to provide a strong foundation in chemistry at this level. Colleges and universities increasingly recognise National 5 qualifications, especially when supported by a solid grade. A dedicated SQA chemistry tutor can help ensure your child's understanding is robust, making their N5 a strong application point for future studies, and they can also help articulate its value.
Will a National 5 Chemistry tutor help with the practical assignment?
Absolutely! While online tutors can't provide physical equipment, they can offer crucial guidance on every other aspect. This includes planning experiments, understanding safety protocols, designing fair tests, processing and analysing data, and writing up accurate conclusions, ensuring your child is well-prepared for this key part of their grade.
How much mathematical ability is needed for National 5 Chemistry, and can a tutor help?
Chemistry does involve maths, especially with balancing equations, chemical formulas, and 'the mole' calculations. A National 5 Chemistry tutor can provide focused support to strengthen these skills, breaking down complex problems into manageable steps and building your child's confidence with the maths required.
How can I be sure my child will be ready for A-Levels or Highers with a National 5?
A strong understanding of the core principles from National 5 Chemistry is the best preparation. A skilled SQA chemistry tutor can ensure these foundational concepts are deeply embedded, making the transition to more advanced topics smoother. They can also work on bridging any specific knowledge gaps that might exist between the different curricula, preparing your child for the challenges ahead.
How do National 5 grades translate for A-Level applications?
While there's no direct universal conversion, an 'A' or 'B' at National 5 is generally seen as an excellent achievement, demonstrating a high level of understanding. Admissions staff often look for strong grades in relevant subjects. Your child's tutor can help them achieve the best possible grade, strengthening their application to sixth forms or colleges. Many of our students, 9 out of 10 in fact, improve by at least one grade.
When is the best time to start tutoring for National 5 Chemistry?
The earlier, the better! Starting early allows a National 5 Chemistry tutor to build a strong foundation, address any difficulties as they arise, and prepare systematically for exams and assignments. Even a few hours of focused support can make a big difference, as many students find that around 8 hours of tutoring can lead to significant grade improvement.
Can I choose my own SQA chemistry tutor?
Yes, you can browse through our wide selection of experienced National 5 Chemistry tutors and choose the one who best fits your child's needs and learning style. You can view their profiles, qualifications, and read reviews from other students before making a decision. We only accept the best, with just 1 in 8 tutors making it onto our platform.
