GCSE Chemistry is often considered one of the most challenging subjects in the GCSE curriculum. At our STEM Tutoring, we understand that many students struggle with the complexity of chemical reactions and the intricacies of the periodic table. That’s why we are here to help transform your approach to GCSE Chemistry from confusion to clarity.
Our tutoring sessions are designed to help you fully understand each topic and its relevance to the wider context of chemistry. By connecting the dots between topics, we help you develop a deeper understanding of the subject and improve your problem-solving and critical thinking skills. These skills are not only crucial for academic success but are also essential for future employability.
Each lesson is dedicated to covering both theoretical notes and exam practice questions. As part of the lesson, we go through a number of exam questions, exploring what the exam board requires of students and how to score the highest marks.
Learners are supported beyond the course through the provision of high-quality, comprehensive and original materials, including notes and question booklets. These resources have been specially created to supplement the learning experience and support students beyond the online course.
The live lessons are held over Google Meet with plenty of opportunities for student engagement, including live quizzes and Q&A’s.
Students that are not able to join a full session are able to access the recording and work at their own pace using the class materials which are accessible via Google Drive and our AIM 13 website.
We are deeply committed to providing exceptional teaching to students in GCSE Chemistry, so that our students have the best possible chance of success. Our online GCSE Chemistry course offers students the opportunity to access engaging and informative lessons on a weekly basis, as well as our popular holiday Master Classes.
Through our online course, students have access to a range of resources designed to support their learning, including video tutorials and interactive activities that help them master complex concepts in chemistry. We also provide extensive practice questions and exams from the leading GCSE exam boards, including AQA, to help students prepare for their final exams.
This weekly session is aimed at supporting students working towards a grade 7 and offers students the opportunity to practice exam questions and consolidate their learning on paper 1 and paper 2 with a greater focus on the accuracy of language.
This weekly session focuses on mastering the key fundamentals to ensure students are working towards obtaining a grade 5.

Prior to starting our Masterclasses, our Subject Knowledge Assessment Tool on our learning platform ‘Aim13’, will help identify key topics for revision and recommend masterclasses to plug any gaps in knowledge.
Our Subject Matter Expert for Computer Science is Mr Manpreet Singh. He is a former student of Nottingham Trent College, trained at Loughborough Grammar School and currently teaches at George Spencer Academy.
With an excellent understanding of what GCSE Chemistry exams require from students, Mr Singh covers good exam technique, showing students how to understand what questions are really asking, and providing strategies to help them cope with tricky questions.
Our GCSE Chemistry masterclasses include:
Past papers: Students work through programming past papers, both independently and as part of a group during our live masterclasses.
Teacher’s notes: Mr Singh presents a revision topic in full. This is very helpful in supporting students consolidate their class notes.
The cost of a GCSE tutor can vary depending on their qualifications and experience. Generally, private tutors charge between £30.00 and £70.00 per hour, with online lessons often slightly cheaper than in-person lessons. We charge £1.50 to join a live masterclass with other students! This is a massive saving for you to access a lesson being taught by a highly experienced teacher. You can communicate with our teachers via Discord, Live QA and email at any time.
Yes! Our tutors, are subject matter experts in their subjects, due to their length of teaching experience and examiner experience. The majority of our tutors are currently employed in leading independent schools and they all have valid DBS checks.
We offer over 50 masterclasses per subject from November – June.
Schools can book additional masterclasses for GCSE & A-Level to suit their teaching groups.
In addition to the live class that is held, we also provide students with a pack containing:
Question papers
Lecture Notes
Presentation slides for each unit of study
The lessons are a live webcast of only the teacher. It is a one-way stream, and therefore, students will not be required to turn on their camera.
Yes! We use Slido, to help make our lessons more interactive and engaging for students.
Our online GCSE/A-Level tutors come with robust qualifications, typically possessing a degree/PHD in the subject. With ample teaching experience, these tutors specialise in their subject, ensuring they are perfectly positioned to cater to the diverse academic needs of their students.
Our GCSE/A-Level tutors are highly qualified and experienced, catering to the diverse needs of students. Many of them hold advanced degrees in biology, science, or related fields, ensuring a deep understanding of the subject with experience of teaching at University. They are trained to deliver biology lessons in ways that foster understanding and retention, making complex concepts accessible to students of all abilities. In addition to academic qualifications, our GCSE tutors have a track record of helping students achieve high grades in their exams. Their experience ranges from teaching in classrooms to providing one-on-one online tutoring.
Of course! our GCSE tutors can offer thorough support. Don’t hesitate to ask your tutor questions about particular areas where you feel you need additional support.
Absolutely! Our tutors offer valuable GCSE exam preparation strategies. These tutors provide practice questions and tailored techniques based on different exam boards like Edexcel, OCR, and AQA, ensuring you’re well-prepared for your GCSE Biology exams.
Yes, each masterclass is meticulously crafted to be interactive. Tutors use a wide range of GCSE teaching methods that aim to enliven your tuition experience. From using interactive quizzes to visual aids, our tutors are focused on making GCSE masterclasses both engaging and informative. Many students find the approach of our tutors in these interactive tutoring lessons particularly supportive for their GCSE studies.
Yes, you can. Throughout your tuition journey with our y tutors, our learning platform ‘Aim13’ allows you to take regular assessments and track your progress through past exam papers. These are designed to gauge your level of understanding and progress. You can then view these assessments, offered by the tutors, to get insights into your academic strengths and the areas that may need more focus in future masterclasses.
Our typical weekly masterclass is 1 hour long but during the holidays they can run for several hours! For example, Maths run a 2-hour masterclass on Error Bounds and Computer Science run a 4-hour masterclass on programming exam questions. There is no extra cost for the longer sessions.
Certainly! Our tutors, provide additional educational resources which are shared in the Google Drives. These may include extra practice worksheets or recommended reading lists to supplement your ongoing masterclasses.
