See How a Typical 1:1 Lesson Works

Every student receives personalised support based on their strengths, weaknesses and goals. Rather than simply teaching the specification from start to finish, each lesson follows a structured approach designed to build understanding, develop exam technique and improve confidence over time.

Watch this short lesson summary to see how a typical 1:1 A-Level Chemistry session is structured, from reviewing homework and identifying misconceptions to tackling exam questions and setting clear next steps.

Is 1:1 right for your child?

1-to-1 is best if your child:

  • Needs help with specific topics or a specific paper

  • Wants sessions tailored to their mock feedback and weak areas

  • Has an imminent deadline (re-sits, mocks, or exams coming up soon)

If your child needs consistent weekly structure and accountability, and thrives on collaboration, then the Chemistry Programme might be a better fit.

Get Started in 3 Steps

Initial Assessment

In the initial assessment session, your child will complete a comprehensive diagnostic test, which shows where the skills or knowledge gaps are and what topics/areas present the greatest challenges.

Teach, Test, Try

In each session, we recap previous content and have a brief recall with a short taught session The bulk of the session is focused on exam paper training and then homework is given for between sessions to consolidate understanding.

Progress Tracking

Parents and students get access to after-session feedback. Each further session is tailored according to the progress made and challenges encountered. We review progress with periodic assessments covering what has been learnt over a short period.

Book An Introductory Session

Introductory Assessment Session (£35)

Following a consultation call, the introductory session is designed to identify their strengths and weaknesses in A-Level Chemistry. The student does a diagnostic assessment (similar to a full exam past paper) to determine whether the main challenge is Chemistry knowledge, or exam technique. The paper is also structured so I can identify the key areas for improvement across physical, inorganic and organic Chemistry. While this is an assessment, I provide feedback and explanations along the way, which gives the student a chance to experience my tutoring style and see how I approach explaining tough concepts, questioning and exam preparation.
