How Chemistry Lessons Help

Chemistry can become confusing when particle models, equations and observations seem disconnected. Lessons bring these together before building towards more demanding questions.

Tuition covers chemistry within combined science and the separate GCSE Chemistry course, with content matched to the student’s tier and exam board.

Connecting Structure and Properties

Atomic structure and bonding are used to explain how substances behave. Students build connections between particle models and properties such as conductivity, melting point and reactivity.

Understanding Reactions

Worked examples connect descriptions of reactions with word and symbol equations. Practice develops accuracy in balancing equations and explaining chemical changes.

Working Through Calculations

Calculations are broken into clear steps, including choosing the relationship, using appropriate units and checking the result. Repeated practice helps reveal which part of a method needs more support.

Explaining Practical Work

Lessons connect methods, observations and conclusions. Students practise using chemical ideas to explain results, rather than simply describing what happened.

Meet Adam

Adam, founder of Discover Tutoring

Chemistry sits behind many environmental questions, from water quality to changes in the atmosphere. My environmental science background gives me a useful perspective on why the particle models and reactions studied at GCSE matter beyond an exam paper.

In lessons, I pay attention to the jump between what a student can observe and the explanation they are expected to give. A colour change or a gas being produced is visible; atoms, ions and bonds are not. I use sketches and questions to connect those two levels without rushing past the unfamiliar language.

I also look for the earlier idea that is making a later topic difficult. Revisiting charges or the meaning of an equation can be more useful than repeating a complicated explanation. We build from that point and check whether the student can use the idea in a new example.

I highly recommend Adam for both Maths and Science turtoing. Allen is a 16 years old boy with atypical autism. It's not that easy to find a teacher who can manage him well. Adam is very friendly and patient. Allen had a good time with him. Allen always got A or A+ in his Math and Science.

Really helpful website, all their quizs cover nearly all topics and give question requiring in depth thought and connections between topics, overall amazing and will continue to use!

Prabha Patel

A really thorough quiz which considers a variety of science terms and processes as part of the multiple choice, encouraging further learning or checking when the answers are revealed at the end of the test. Accessible, friendly and enjoyable. Just enough questions around the specific topics, enough to not become overbearing or confusing. Although I think that for GCSE, it may need to be a bit more challenging. Maybe there could be challenging levels to select and pass as part of the quizzing. Thank you.

GCSE ChemistryCalculating masses

In this teaching clip, Adam shows how to calculate masses in chemical reactions.

It’s a good example of how a session works: a step-by-step explanation of a method that many students find tricky, which we then practise together.
