Weekly lessons for GCSE & A-Level Chemistry, taught by an experienced examiner. Personalised to your exam board, your working grade, and your long term goals.
Charged hourly, payment due the day before each lesson. Send me a message and we can begin. I am also happy to have a free, no-obligation chat first to talk through goals.
For Year 10 – 11 students (and Year 9 starting early).
For Year 12 – 13 students aiming at top grades and STEM university courses.
Send me a message with the student's current grade, target and exam board. We can begin straight away or, if you'd prefer, start with a quick, no-obligation chat first. Either way, if I'm not the right fit I'll say so and suggest alternatives.
First paid session is a working diagnostic. This will likely be an exam-style task to identify gaps, plus a conversation about study habits. Students leave with a plan going forward: topics, timings, deliverables.
One-to-one on a shared whiteboard with worked examples, live problem-solving, and exam-style questions. Whiteboards can be saved for students to access at a later date.
During the exam period we shift to full past papers and mark-scheme analysis. Optional extra sessions in the final weeks if useful.
Complete coverage of AQA GCSE (8462) and A-Level (7405) Chemistry, every topic and required practical.
Full support for Edexcel (Pearson) GCSE (1CH0) and A-Level (9CH0) Chemistry across every topic and required practical.
OCR GCSE and A-Level Chemistry, including Chemistry A (H432) and Chemistry B (Salters).
Cambridge International (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and A-Level, for students at international schools anywhere in the world. Another specification? Get in touch and I'll confirm I can help.
Every weekly fee covers more than the live session. The work between lessons is where most of the progress happens. Want to start on your own first? My free GCSE revision notes cover both papers, with AQA A-Level notes and GCSE-to-A-Level bridging work available too.
Enquire nowJoe has been a great tutor and has really helped me improve my understanding of chemistry. He explains difficult topics in a clear and simple way, making them much easier to understand. His lessons are always well structured and he gives helpful advice on both revision and exam technique. He's patient, supportive, and always willing to go over anything I'm unsure about, even if it means explaining it several times. Thanks to his help, I've become much more confident in chemistry and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with chemistry.
Joe is a fantastic tutor who clearly knows what he is talking about, both in chemistry and of what the examiners want to see so you can get the top marks. He's given me many helpful memorisation tips and always supports me when wrapping my head around a difficult concept. Well worth it!
Joe is a fantastic chemistry teacher. He is patient and smart. He always gives thorough, clear explanations. He provides diagrams to help students understand better. He was well-versed in the types of questions and key concepts covered in the A-Level exams. We are so grateful for the help from Joe.
Joe has been an exemplary tutor. He has really helped our son with GCSE Chemistry. He is punctual and professional. Our son has really enjoyed the lessons. We would highly recommend Joe.
A regular weekly slot, agreed at the start. Calgary mornings line up with after-school and evening hours in the UK (typically 3pm – 9pm UK time), Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In another time zone? Get in touch and we'll find a slot that works. Lessons can be moved with reasonable notice; missed lessons without notice are still charged.
Google Meet for the call, an interactive whiteboard (through Miro) for worked examples. Students will require a tablet with a pen, or a drawing pad that works with their laptop / PC.
Payment is due the day before each scheduled lesson. No minimum commitment. Payments are made via bank transfer.
Yes, I am happy to consider a group if a student would like to work with a friend. Please get in touch to discuss in more detail.
Typically 12 – 15 active students at a time. Spaces tend to open between exam cycles.
Either side can stop at any time. There's no contract, no notice period, and no cancellation fee. A free chat before we start is the right place to raise any concerns, before money changes hands.
Send me a message with your current grade, target and exam board, and we can get started. I'll always tell you honestly whether I can help. Prefer to talk first? I'm happy to have a quick, no-obligation chat, no commitment either way.
