Intensive Revision Courses
These intensive, one day courses aim to give students the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of some of the more challenging topics on the the A Level syllabi. The small groups allow students to target their individual areas of weakness and develop their exam technique, ultimately boosting their grades! The courses are tailored to suit the AQA and OCR specifications. All of our courses take place in the Central Teaching Hub at Liverpool University.
A Level Chemistry Courses
We run two revision courses that tackle the higher level concepts of the A level chemistry examinations. Students sit three papers at the end of their two years of study, and the topics in the syllabus are split across the first two papers. The third paper is synoptic, covering all the content studied over the two years. The topics covered in our two courses match the split of topics in the AQA examinations (the split is very similar for the OCR papers, but differences are highlighted where they exist).
Our 2017 cohorts we extremely pleased with their courses, and overall scored us 9.2/10! One student, Rhian, attended both a paper 1 and paper 2 course in 2017, and made the following comment after receiving the grade she needed to study veterinary science:
'Thank you for all of the help. Couldn't of done it without it. Going to ChemEducation really opened my eyes to how amazing teachers could be. I hope you realise how much you help students. Thank you.'
