Chemistry
Chemistry tuition, online and one to one.
Chemistry runs on a small number of models — the atom, the bond, the mole — applied over and over in new settings. Somebody who is stuck usually has one of those models missing rather than a long list of topics missing.
Tell us what your child is working on and we will find them a chemistry tutor. Every tutor holds an enhanced DBS check, has been interviewed by our school staffing team, and teaches in a recorded session in your browser.

The syllabus, in plain English
What chemistry covers
Depth and emphasis differ between levels and between exam boards, and your child's school decides both. If you are not sure which part is going wrong, this is the shortlist to read down before you tell us.
Atomic structure and the periodic table
Atoms, isotopes, electron arrangement, and why the table is arranged the way it is.
Bonding and structure
Ionic, covalent and metallic bonding, and explaining a substance's properties from the structure rather than memorising them.
Quantitative chemistry
Formulae and equations, relative masses, moles, concentrations and yields. The most arithmetic-heavy part of the course and the most reliably lost marks.
Chemical and energy changes
Reactivity, acids and bases, electrolysis, and exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Rates and equilibria
What changes a rate and why, and reversible reactions and the effect of changing conditions on them.
Organic chemistry and analysis
Crude oil and hydrocarbons, the functional groups, polymers, and the tests used to identify what a substance is.
By level
Chemistry tutors, level by level
These are the levels tutors here currently teach chemistry at. Each one has its own page.
GCSE chemistry tutors
GCSE courses usually run over the two years of Year 10 and Year 11, with the exams sat at the end of Year 11.
See tutorsA-Level chemistry tutors
A-Levels are usually taken over two years, in Year 12 and Year 13, and they go a long way past GCSE in both depth and in how much reading and independent work is expected outside lessons.

Wherever you are in the United Kingdom
Every session runs online, in our own video room in your browser. There is nothing to download and nothing to install, nobody comes to your house, and nobody has to be driven anywhere on a school night. It does not matter where in the United Kingdom you live: the tutors on this page are the tutors available to you.
Tutor and child work on the same whiteboard, which updates for both of them as they write, and whatever is on it at the end is saved to the session. The lesson is recorded, and you can watch your own child’s sessions back from your account.
A chemistry tutor is still an adult alone with your child.
Tuition means somebody your family has never met spending an hour a week with your child, unsupervised. That is the problem this platform was built around, and it is why the vetting is not a page in the small print.
Read our full safeguarding policyEnhanced DBS, every tutor
Every tutor on the platform holds an enhanced DBS check. We do not make exceptions and we do not allow grace periods.
Interviewed before they teach
Our school staffing team interviews every tutor before they take a single session. They are the same people who vet and place staff in UK schools.
Every session recorded
Sessions are recorded and retained for safeguarding review, so there is always a record of what happened in a lesson. You can watch your own child's sessions back from your account. The tutor cannot.
Continuously monitored
Vetting is not a one-off. If a tutor's clearance lapses they come off the platform automatically, and they cannot teach again until it is back in place and verified by us.
Nothing happens off the platform
Every session runs in our own video room in the browser, and personal contact details are never exchanged between a tutor and a family.
