A Level Chemistry Masterclasses (AQA & OCR A)

Expert-led small group classes for students aiming for A* – B grade

Struggling to master exam technique? Want more structure in your revision? Are you working hard, but feeling overwhelmed and not sure how to push your grade up to the next level?
I run small group classes for AQA and OCR A Level chemistry students who are looking to improve their confidence with more challenging concepts and exam technique. With over 20 years of experience as a teacher, tutor and examiner I can help you work smarter with an effective revision programme and tailored support in a friendly small group environment.

What You’ll Get:

  • Weekly 80-minute live classes in a small group (max 6 students)
  • Tailored lessons and materials for AQA and OCR A exam boards
  • Taught by an experienced teacher and A Level examiner
  • Focus on exam technique, tricky concepts, and challenging application
  • Supporting materials provided on the website
  • Regular assessment and consolidation with personalised feedback

Timings and key information:

  • Starts Wednesday 10th September
  • Live classes weekly on Wednesday evenings (AQA & OCR A groups held separately)
  • First half term: Core Year 12 revision (based on student needs)
  • From November: Content tailored to the priorities of students in the class

Built-In Practice & Feedback:

Every 3-week block ends with:

  • A consolidation session + targeted mini-assessment
  • Personalised feedback based on your assessment
  • Focus on what to improve, not just what you got wrong

Who This Is For:

  • Year 13 students sitting AQA or OCR A Chemistry; Year 12 students for AQA, OCR A or Edexcel (find out more about Year 12 classes)
  • Predicted or aiming for grades A*-B
  • Motivated, independent learners who want:
  • More structure in their revision and confidence with more difficult topics
  • Help tackling challenging concepts and exam-style questions
  • Clear, focused feedback and targeted advice on how best to improve and make progress

Feedback from past students:

  • Her knowledge and techniques have let me achieve the grades I desired, and her masterclasses really made sure I had that support I needed. I would 100% recommend these to anyone who wants quality teaching and exam question workthroughs along with tips on how to achieve those top grades!

Year 13 classes are on Wednesday evenings, starting from September 10th. Year 12 classes are on Mondays at 6.15pm, starting on 15th September. Every fourth week will be a ‘review week’ where students complete independent consolidation and a mini-assessment, for which they will receive personalised feedback.


AQA: 5:00–6:20pm | OCR A: 6:30–7:50pm

All classes are delivered on Zoom. Students will have a secure invitation link each week. They will also be recorded and students will be able to access the recordings for the rest of the school year.

All students will have access to notes and practice questions each week via the website – it is strongly recommended that you work through these before the class. The materials will recap concepts you should have already covered in class so that when we cover more challenging examples together you will already have revised the ‘basics’.

All classes are run by me, Claire C-K. I’m a fully qualified chemistry teacher with over 20 years of experience as a teacher, tutor and A Level examiner. I’ve also worked with exam boards and universities as a resource developer and teacher trainer, so you’re in great hands!

For the first half term we will cover the most important content from Year 12. You can see the outline timetable below:

September 10th | Atomic structure, bonding and periodicity
September 17th | Chemical calculations 1
September 24th | Organic chemistry 1
October 1st | Review week – practice questions, mini assessment and feedback
October 8th | Energetics 1
October 15th | Redox and group chemistry
October 22nd | Organic chemistry 2
October 29th | Review week – practice questions, mini assessment and feedback

Before October half term, I will send each student a questionnaire to find out which Year 13 topics they’ve covered in school and their personal priorities for revision – this will be how we decide class topics from that point onwards.

Every fourth week there will be no live group class. Instead, you get a chance to catch up with materials and you’ll be given an assessment task to complete under ‘exam conditions’. The assessment will take about 45 minutes and will be easy to write and submit. You can choose to print it out, fill in using an iPad or tablet or just write your answers on paper.
I will then mark the assessment and give you personalised feedback. You will receive your work with written feedback, advice for further revision and also a recording of feedback with more explanation for the questions you need the most help with.

The cost per student is £110 per month, invoiced and payable by the 1st of each month. This includes 4 hours of lessons (3 x 80 minutes), online materials and the assessment and personalised feedback. To book your place or find out more, please email me – I’m happy to set up a phone call or online meeting to discuss your options.
Your place is not secure until payment is received; if you pay and subsequently change your mind you can receive a refund of £85 for that month – this helps cover my admin costs.
If you would like to join part way through a month and there are spaces, I will invoice on a pro-rata basis.

I am currently fully booked for one to one tuition for A Level Chemistry during peak times (from 3.30pm UK time). If you would like to go on my waiting list for one to one tuition, please email me.
I have some availability during weekdays from 8am to 3pm UK time – this may suit students with a flexible schedule, those working from home or international students. I also often have extra availability in school holidays – email me to enquire about these options.
