Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a Higher Chemistry tutor help my child overcome the big jump from National 5?

A dedicated tutor understands the shift from 'process' to 'application' in Higher Chemistry. They'll work through the new style of problem-solving, breaking down complex topics like reaction rates and equilibria, and building your child's confidence in applying their knowledge to challenging SQA questions.

My child isn't taking Higher Maths. Will a SQA chemistry tutor still be able to help them with calculations?

Absolutely. Many students successfully take Higher Chemistry without Higher Maths. An SQA chemistry tutor can provide focused, step-by-step guidance on all the essential calculations, such as stoichiometry, energetics, and mole calculations, making sure your child understands the methods without needing advanced maths skills.

Can a tutor help with the Higher Chemistry Assignment project?

Yes, definitely. The Assignment is a significant part of the grade. A tutor can guide you through every stage, from choosing a suitable unique experiment and refining your methodology to analysing results and writing a clear, concise report, ensuring you meet the SQA's requirements and maximise your score. This prevents it from feeling like a huge, university-level task and becoming a time sink.

We're worried about the fast pace of the one-year Higher Chemistry course. How does tutoring help if my child falls behind?

The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is its flexibility. If your child misses a topic or finds themselves struggling, a tutor can immediately address those gaps, focusing specifically on what's needed. This tailored support helps students catch up quickly and stay on track with the intense curriculum, ensuring no topic is left behind.

Is an 'A' grade in Higher Chemistry truly achievable with tutoring for demanding university courses?

Yes, it is. Tutoring provides the personalised support to build a deep understanding, master tricky concepts, and practise exam techniques effectively. In fact, 9 out of 10 students who learn with us improve by at least one grade, helping them achieve those vital 'A's for competitive university applications like Medicine or Chemical Engineering and reducing the pressure to resit in S6.

How do you ensure your SQA Chemistry tutors are qualified and trustworthy?

At Tutorful, we take tutor quality very seriously. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous vetting process, with only 1 in 8 applicants being accepted. This includes thorough interviews to assess their subject expertise and teaching ability. We also conduct comprehensive background checks for your complete peace of mind, ensuring your child is learning from the best.

Is online tutoring effective for a complex subject like Scottish Highers Chemistry?

Online tutoring is incredibly effective. Our virtual classroom allows for interactive lessons where students can work through equations, diagrams, and problem-solving together using a shared whiteboard. We also provide recordings of every session, so your child can revisit explanations of abstract concepts like atomic orbitals or kinetic theory whenever they need, making complex learning easier to digest.
