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.
