Edexcel Chemistry Modules

I know the Edexcel Chemistry course well, both from teaching it and from my experience marking exam papers. The Edexcel course is divided into broad sections, but the specification itself is split into small topics. The tutoring modules I've designed group those specification points into clear, focused packages. For example, Module 4 brings together Topic 2A – Bonding and Topic 2B – Structure, so you cover the full area in one coherent set of lessons.

​

Choose the modules that match your needs. Each one focuses on a specific area of the Edexcel 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.
