Chemistry 

Customised lessons for whichever level/area you are struggling with!

BGE (S1/2)

Lessons covering the basics of the behaviour of Matter, Elements, Compounds, the Periodic Table, Acids and Bases and Metals

Level 3/4 (s3)

Atomic Stricture, Bonding and Properties, Rates of Reaction and more - laying the groundwork for National 5 Chemistry.

National 5 Chemistry

Closely following the core course specifications from the SQA and making abundant use of past paper and other exemplar questions.

Higher Chemistry

As with National 5, paying close attention to course specifications and key skills for problem solving and successful assignment submission.

Advanced Higher Chemistry

Many schools do not timetable a full 6 periods of teaching time to AH. Time can be given to consolidation of theory and problem solving, or review of practical techniques which are essential for the final exam.

Physics
