How we teach 7405

Concepts are explained with clear diagrams first, then the calculations, then the exact wording the mark scheme accepts.

Practical and data-handling questions are practised every week, because they carry marks that many students drop.

Long-answer questions are planned in class so your child writes complete, mark-earning explanations.

Where students usually lose marks

  • Calculations with units and significant figures
  • Practical and experimental skills questions
  • Explaining in precise key terms
  • Linking ideas across topics

“Full past papers, marked properly, with every mistake explained. His confidence in Maths and Physics went up a lot before the exams.”

Questions parents ask

Do you teach the current AQA A-level Chemistry syllabus?

Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (Exams from June 2016). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.

How many lessons a week does my child need?

Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.

Can you help close to the exam?

Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
