Chemistry A Level Easter Revision Classes in London

Course Information

Course Description

Our four-day Chemistry A Level Easter crash courses are designed to prepare Year 13 students for their final exams. These London-based classes are taught by experienced teachers with an in-depth knowledge of the syllabus and what it takes to succeed at A Level.

During the course, students will revisit the key sections of A Level Chemistry, crystalizing their knowledge and helping them to identify and clarify anything they don’t yet fully understand. As well as guiding students on a thorough recap of the course content, our teachers will help them to develop their exam technique – ensuring they’ve got the skills and know-how to maximise their marks on exam day.

In addition to in-person classes, students will receive a selection of high-quality revision materials. Professionally printed and bound, these tailor-made resources provide additional support at home, during and after the course.

Our Easter crash courses are a great way to kick-start revision. Students will leave the course feeling confident and fully prepared for their summer exams.

Suitable for:

  • Year 13 students
  • Students wanting to revise content
  • Students looking to improve exam technique
  • Year 12 students
  • Students who are predicted D or below

If you need help deciding if you will benefit from this course you can contact us. Alternatively, you may prefer to book 1-2-1 tuition instead.

Our Tutors

At PMT Courses we’re proud to work with an excellent team of passionate and professional tutors and teachers, many of whom have worked at some of the country’s most esteemed academic institutions. While each teacher brings something unique to the table, they all aim to leave you feeling inspired, knowledgeable and confident.

Georgina A.

Georgina A.

Georgina has nine years of experience working as a teacher, six of which were spent teaching A Level Chemistry at sixth-form colleges across the south. She has a strong background in chemistry, including postdoctoral work at Oxford University, doctoral studies at Sussex University, and several months as a visiting researcher at both Sussex and Nottingham universities.

Today Georgina tutors GCSE, A Level and IB Chemistry to a wide range of students, while also working as a reviewer for Pearson and as an examiner for one of the main A Level Chemistry examination boards. This experience, along with her rich knowledge, creativity and resources, enables her to help students polish their study skills and exam technique. When Georgina isn’t teaching, she’s indulging her passion for science communication, peer reviewing scientific literature, and putting together science news features for her radio show.

If you would like 1-2-1 tuition with Georgina you can find her profile on our tuition platform.

Hannah S.

Hannah S.

Hannah has been a chemistry teacher for the past five years, and is currently the Head of Chemistry at a leading school in Surrey. During that time, she has worked as an OCR examiner, developing deep understanding of where students typically make errors in exams and the subjects and question types they find most difficult.

Hannah’s favourite areas of chemistry A-level are the topics that require lots of problem-solving skills – such as acids and bases or equilibrium. She enjoys guiding students through longer answer questions, and helping them find logical and methodical ways to structure their work. When Hannah isn’t teaching chemistry, she is hanging out with her little boy or watching a crime drama (preferably set in the North East) on the TV.
