AQA Chemistry Modules

I know the AQA Chemistry course well, both from teaching it and from my experience marking exam papers. The course is divided into physical, inorganic and organic sections, but the specification itself is split into detailed points.

 

The tutoring modules I've designed group those specification points into clear, focused packages. For example, Module 8 brings together specification points 1.25 Chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier’s principle, 1.26 Equilibrium constant Kc for homogeneous systems, and 1.32 Equilibrium constant Kp for homogeneous systems, so you cover the full area of equilibrium in one coherent set of lessons.

​

Choose the modules that match your needs. Each one focuses on a specific area of the AQA A-Level Chemistry specification and includes live one-to-one tuition, all revision materials, and digital worksheets.

You can purchase modules individually or in bundles. The number of lessons varies depending on the topic — you’ll see this listed for each one below.

​

Once you’ve chosen your modules, simply add them to your cart and check out. You’ll get an email with your booking link — and from there, you can schedule lessons around your availability.

​

Alternatively, you can buy a standalone bespoke 1-hour lesson.
