Easter Break Revision Course: Elevate Your Chemistry A-Level Revision with Expert Guidance, Flexible Sessions, and Exam-Ready Confidence for Year 12 and 13 Students

My approach to the chemistry course sets it apart from those intensive 3-day, 8-hour courses. I’ve spread the curriculum over 7 days and into shorter more manageable sessions, spanning the 2-week Easter break. This format provides time for daily reflection and practice, acknowledging that students have multiple subjects to tackle during this period.

I am an experienced tutor and examiner, my course ensures top-tier support. Throughout the program, Year 12 and Year 13 students recap their academic year’s content, refreshing their knowledge and addressing weak points. They also hone their exam techniques, building the confidence and skills required for exam success.

Collaborating with fellow students offers a reassuring atmosphere and fosters clarity through peer discussions. My course is more than just knowledge; it’s about boosting confidence, motivation, and reducing exam-related anxiety. My Easter crash courses elevate revision to a new level, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel in their upcoming summer exams.

I am a highly regarded tutor with an OFSTED Outstanding rating as a teacher and over 15 years of experience in education. Currently, I specialise in providing AQA/OCR Chemistry A Level tuition and also work as a lead examiner for AQA.

I offer personalised, one-to-one online tuition to students, catering to their individual needs, whether it`s homework support, catching up on missed topics, or exam preparation. By closely collaborating with students and parents, I develop a tailored learning plan and employ various teaching styles to ensure effective understanding.

With online tuition, students can access my services from anywhere in the world. Leveraging tools such as Skype and Bitpaper, we can fully embrace the wonders of modern technology, making online tuition a highly efficient and convenient option.

My primary goals are to assist students in:

-Cultivating a deeper understanding of the subject matter to tackle challenging questions.
-Enhancing exam techniques by leveraging in-depth knowledge of the exam system.
-Achieving the best possible grades through exam tips and detailed feedback.
-Equipping students with high-quality resources to prepare for exams.
-Boosting confidence by addressing any knowledge gaps.
-Developing more effective and efficient study skills.

Aside from my experience as a teacher, my sense of humour and adaptability are also essential in meeting each student`s unique learning style and requirements. I genuinely care about providing the best possible support to each student, and it fills me with pride and joy to have helped over 500 students pursue their desired careers.

As an examiner for a leading exam board for the past eight years, I have gained valuable insights into what examiners expect in structuring answers to 3-6 mark questions. Additionally, my comprehensive knowledge of the exam board`s specifications enables me to tailor tuition to improve exam techniques and achieve better results.

To supplement my teaching, I offer students access to a dedicated online portal on my website. This portal provides them with all the resources I have created and gathered over time, including topic-specific question banks with worked solutions. It has become increasingly popular, with approximately 5% of the AQA /OCR cohort in England utilising these resources last year.

Feel free to reach out to me for online tuition, and together, we can make your academic journey a successful and fulfilling one.

Chris tutored me for a year before my A-Levels, and transformed my confidence. He explained complicated concepts clearly and concisely, and offered access to extremely helpful resources. He was very approachable and supportive, and I could not recommend him more! (Marks daughter)

My daughter attended one of Chris` revision sessions for A-level exams. She found Chris` resources very useful in the revisions leading up to exams. It has a well organised collection of past exam questions, with worked solutions, revision questions with varying difficuly levels, exam techniques and structured explanation to topics. Thank you, Chris, for these valuable resources!
