Even if you’re just starting out it can seem overwhelming, especially when exam questions appear…
A Level chemistry includes a lot of calculations. As one of my students put it to me in a recent lesson ‘Ugh! Science maths is the worst maths, because there’s so much else going on!’ It’s not surprising, therefore, that many students get anxious when faced with challenging chemical calculations. Throughout April I’ll be focusing…

One of the biggest problems students find when they’re revising is that they spend all their time trying to get information into their head – and…
