A Level Chemistry Revision Course

A Level Chemistry Booster Course
– Targeted Revision to Maximise Exam Success

At Merit Tutors, we understand the importance A Level exam results play when it comes to university applications. We aim to challenge our pupils to ensure they are confident and prepared to achieve their potential in their exams. A Level content can be difficult to understand, therefore our tutors take the time to understand each child’s needs, adapting their teaching styles and strategies to ensure our students get the most out of their lessons.

Our A Level Chemistry revision course is designed for Year 12 and Year 13 pupils preparing for A Level Chemistry exam. Our revision courses are made up of an intimate study group, normally with 4-6 students from the same year group. Our A Level groups consist of AS and A2 learners, allowing the AS students to learn advanced techniques early and be ahead of their peers, while simultaneously allowing our A2 pupils to significantly improve their knowledge and technique for their exams.

What Makes Us Different?

The aim of our courses

The aim of our courses is to build on the learners existing knowledge and develop greater thinking in these areas, while simultaneously identifying gaps in knowledge and filling them. At Merit Tutors, our tutors have extensive experience preparing children of all abilities for their exams. Run by qualified teachers, we have an excellent understanding of what Chemistry examiners are looking for in papers. Your child will cover good exam technique, analysing the question to ensure understanding of what the question is really asking, and providing strategies to help your child cope with difficult questions.

Revision Techniques

We use a range of proven revision methods to help students get the most out of each course. Our teaching blends tutor-led instruction with pupil-led activities, ensuring that all learning styles are catered for. Our methods include:

Past Papers: Regular practice with real past paper questions helps students apply their knowledge in a relevant context, understand exam expectations, and refine their answers for maximum marks.

Mock Tests: Tutors conduct mock exams under exam conditions to simulate the real experience. This helps identify progress and pinpoint areas that need further improvement.

Revision Methods Assessment and Progress Tracking

Teacher Notes: Parents and carers have access to online records to track their child’s progress and engagement with the course.

Paper Feedback: Learners receive clear, written feedback to help consolidate learning at home and improve exam responses.

Homework: Regular homework assignments help students reinforce their understanding and apply concepts independently outside of class.

Our goal is to provide a supportive and effective learning environment that maximises each student’s potential.
