Chemistry
tutoring.
Chemistry has a reputation for being overwhelming, and honestly, without good teaching it can be. Our tutors cut through the noise and help students build a clear picture of how everything connects. With the right support, Chemistry becomes one of the most rewarding subjects on your child's schedule.

SYLLABUS MAP
Chemistry runs across four units. Sessions can target a single unit, a single topic inside it, or the whole subject end-to-end — whichever the student needs.
Unit 1
Foundations & key concepts
- Atomic theory and the periodic table
- Organic chemistry
Unit 2
Applications & lab work
- Chemical bonding
- Electrochemistry
Unit 3
Advanced theory
- Stoichiometry and reactions
Unit 4
Synthesis & exam technique
- Acids, bases and equilibrium
How it's assessed

Examination — short response
Examination — short response
External exam — short & extended
WHAT A SESSION LOOKS LIKE
Four snapshots of the kind of questions we drill — and the bit students usually miss until someone walks them through it.
Explain why a heavier object and a lighter object hit the ground at the same time when dropped in a vacuum.
How we coach it
Pulling apart 'mass' vs 'weight' properly. Most students recite the answer but can't explain it under cross-examination. We drill the reasoning.
Interpret a titration curve showing two equivalence points. Identify the indicator that best matches the second equivalence pH.
How we coach it
Reading the graph carefully and matching pKₐ to the equivalence pH. We rehearse the writing — the marks are in the justification, not the number.
A standard solution of 0.1 M HCl is diluted from 1 M. Describe the method and the calculations.
How we coach it
The exact method matters. We walk through the dilution equation, then the safety + accuracy reasoning that picks up the extra marks.
Compare two experimental designs for measuring reaction rate. Justify which is more reliable and which is more valid.
How we coach it
Reliability vs validity is where students lose marks. We map every justification to a QCAA criterion before the student writes a word.
HOW WE LIFT YOUR RESULT
Find the gaps
A quick diagnostic shows exactly which topics are shaky, so no time is wasted.
Build, then stretch
Lock in the fundamentals, then push into the harder modelling and exam questions.
Exam-ready
Past-paper drills and timing practice so the external feels familiar, not scary.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
- Understanding that goes beyond rote memorisation
- Reliable performance in data analysis tasks
- Preparation for university-level science

JUMP TO YOUR YEAR
CHEMISTRY, ANSWERED
A tutor who recently sat QCAA Chemistry and scored above 95 ATAR in it. They know the current syllabus, the IA tasks and the external exam inside out.
Yes. We work through internal assessment tasks, then drill past papers and exam strategy in the lead-up to the external.
Year 11 & 12. We also cover the prerequisites that feed in.
60 minutes private, over Google Meet. The tutor brings a plan; we adapt to what the student walks in with on the day.
Yes. Standalone marking is $50 a draft, returned inside 48 hours with QCAA-criteria comments.
Tell us about the student in our 60-second form. A real coordinator reads it and replies inside 24 hours with the shortlist.
