Years 12–13 · AQA, Edexcel, OCR
A-Level chemistry is where organic mechanisms, heavy calculations and required practicals collide, and the grade often carries the university offer. One-to-one tuition turns the hardest paper into a plan.

The short answer
An A-Level chemistry tutor works one-to-one on your exam board's exact specification, across organic, physical and inorganic chemistry: untangling mechanisms, drilling the calculations, working real past papers and preparing you for the exam questions built on the required practicals. Lessons are online and scheduled around sixth form.
The step-up moments
Curly arrows feel arbitrary until someone teaches the logic behind them. Then the whole paper opens up.
Moles, concentrations, equilibrium constants: calculation marks leak quietly until the method is drilled.
A university offer turns every mock into a checkpoint.
Written papers test the practicals too: method, variables, evaluation. Easy marks once they're rehearsed.
The three branches
Organic
named reactions & mechanisms
Curly arrows, named reactions and synthesis routes: the paper where learning the logic beats memorising flashcards.
Physical
the calculations
Moles, energetics, equilibria and rates: where the maths inside chemistry earns or leaks marks.
Inorganic
trends & tests
Periodicity, transition metals and the ion tests that keep resurfacing in practical-based questions.
Lessons build backwards from mocks (November to January) and the May to June papers, with your board's real past papers and mark schemes from the first session.

Five-lesson promise
The risk is ours, not yours.
We know how important the right tutor match is. If it doesn't feel right, we'll find your child another tutor and you won't pay for that lesson. If you're not satisfied with their progress after five lessons, we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
The right tutor can make all the difference, not only to your child's results, but also to their confidence, understanding and ability to tackle their schoolwork independently. For you, that means the reassurance of knowing your child is supported, making progress and moving in the right direction. That's the transformation we want your child to experience, and we're prepared to stand behind it.
First, your child's tutor should feel like the right fit. If your child doesn't feel comfortable, understood and excited to continue after their lesson, simply tell us. We'll find them a better-matched tutor, and you won't pay a cent for that lesson.
Once your child has found the right match, give us five lessons to help them make meaningful progress. If, after those five lessons, you're not satisfied with the change you're seeing, let us know and we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
Our 97% customer success rate gives us the confidence to make this promise. But if your child is among the 3% who don't get the results you hoped for, we wouldn't feel right keeping your money.
No awkward conversations. No hoops to jump through. The risk is ours, not yours.
Rates depend on tutor experience and frequency; you see exact prices for matched tutors before committing. No sign-up fees, no long contracts.
Yes, all three, weighted to where your marks say the work is. Organic gets particular attention: mechanisms and named reactions respond fastest to one-to-one teaching.
AQA, Edexcel, OCR (and WJEC). The tutor teaches your specification and marks against its mark schemes.
Yes. Written papers test the practicals directly: method, variables, uncertainties, evaluation. Tutors rehearse each required practical's logic and the exam questions built on it, so those marks stop leaking.
Yes, that's the highest-leverage window: mock papers show exactly which topics and question styles are dropping marks, and lessons target those. The same focused approach works for Year 13 retakes.
The step up is real: quantitative work everywhere, organic mechanisms in place of memorised reactions, and questions that chain several topics together. It's normal, and it responds quickly to one-to-one attention.
