Chemistry A-level covers both organic and inorganic chemistry, running the gamut from atomic structures and how to use molecular formulae to energy changes and ionic bonding. There are many formulae and processes to learn and remember in chemistry A-level, including quite a bit of maths. As each topic area builds on a specific set of foundations, it’s important that students don’t fall behind. There is a lot of material to cover in two years, and classroom teachers don’t have time to stop and give individualised help. However, having access to A-level chemistry private tuition throughout their sixth form gives your child the opportunity to really solidify their understanding every step of the way.
Students will learn to find out the basic particles in atoms and ions, how to use a simple mass spectrometer, and how to work with data about ion activity. They will also be introduced to the mole as a unit of measurement used in chemistry, calculations to determine the relative mass, and using the Avogadro constant to determine the number of particles in a mole. Students will also learn about acids, bases and buffers, and how they interact with different substances, as well as how to calculate pH. There are many types of calculations in this topic area, and it’s easy to get turned around. Having a private A-level chemistry tutor review the learning material with your child regularly means they won’t fall behind if they take a bit longer to understand a concept.
Students go deep into the periodic table, learning the classification of elements as s, p, d or f blocks, and the melting point of certain elements. This is when the chemistry equations can get very confusing for some students, as they start using the chemical names for elements in equations. It is also an exciting part of chemistry, as it involves much experimentation and cool chemical reactions. Much of their work in this topic area is focused on the changing properties of elements through various means such as boiling, melting, freezing, concentrating, extracting, oxidising, and so on. Getting a handle on writing out what is happening using the right notation is where chemistry A-level tutors are really invaluable.
The world of carbon compounds is covered in organic chemistry. There is a lot to remember here, from IUPAC rules for nomenclature to the prefixes for naming carbon chains. Thankfully, organic chemistry has loads of mnemonics for remembering all these little clusters of names and processes, and experienced A-level chemistry tutors will know them all! Students also get to dive into some of the ways amino acids, proteins and DNA interact with our bodies, including practical applications like anticancer drugs and enzyme inhibitors. This is also when students learn about polymerisation and more about different nitrogen compounds like amines, amides, as well as more about amino acids. Across their organic chemistry modules, students will use some of the analytic techniques they used previously, like infrared and mass spectroscopy to understand the structural features in molecules, as well as simple test tube tests for analysing and identifying substances.
There is so much to cover in chemistry A level, just thinking about the revision process can make some students get a bit upset. However, an experienced A-level chemistry tutor can help your child map out a study plan, and review the material with them to see where they might have some learning gaps. It’s tough to cover two years’ worth of A-level chemistry lessons by themselves, and this way you can be sure they are using their revision time in the most effective way possible.
Trying to track down a good A-level chemistry tutor locally can be next to impossible, depending on where you live. No doubt you’re not the only parent with that idea, and during revision time their time will be hard to come by. With online tutoring, you’re not limited to just local tutors, but have a much better choice so you can find the tutor that knows their stuff but will also be a good fit for your child’s learning style. With online tutoring, there’s no travel time and convincing your teenager to go somewhere in the rainy evening to work on their chemistry. This way they’re only heading to their room for a bit of extra help, and you don’t even need to drive them there – win-win!
