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?
Designed specifically for Year 12 and Year 13 students, the CK Chemistry Masterclass Programme delivers structured, weekly expert guidance to turn complex chemistry topics into clear, exam-ready knowledge. Combining targeted live teaching with a bank of online study materials, this programme builds deep understanding, sharpens exam technique, and establishes consistent study habits throughout the academic year.

Tailored timetable & Low Pressure Small Group Sessions

Live masterclasses run three times per month, giving students a balance between group sessions and independent consolidation. Live sessions are scheduled as follows, with all lessons recorded for students to catch up or re-watch where necessary:

  • Year 12 (All Boards): Tuesdays | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
  • Year 13 AQA: Wednesdays | 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
  • Year 13 OCR A: Wednesdays | 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Classes are capped at a maximum of 16 students to ensure personal attention while keeping the atmosphere low-pressure and focused. Students keep their cameras and microphones off, interacting directly with me via text chat. This setup allows every student to ask questions comfortably, participate in worked examples, and receive instant feedback without any awkwardness or performance anxiety.

A structured framework for exam success

Every membership provides a complete, four-part revision system designed to keep you on track throughout the academic year:

  • Live Masterclasses: 3 hours per month of live, interactive exam-focused instruction.
  • Revision Resource Bank: Pre-recorded tutorials and masterclasses, practice questions and quizzes to help you revise any topic, any time.
  • Weekly Knowledge Check: A ‘random retrieval’ exercise to make sure you are always revisiting past topics, plus a specific topic-based quiz to check understanding before each live class.
  • Monthly Assessments: Test your application and exam technique with a realistic ‘mini mock’ every month. Take the mystery out of exam success and get a more realistic progress check.

Flexible 1:1 Tuition & Key Benefits

As member of the CK Chemistry Masterclass Programme, you never have to pay for regular 1-to-1 tuition every week just to keep a spot. Instead, use your membership as your steady foundation, and book ad-hoc 1-to-1 sessions whenever key milestones approach – such as mock exams, tricky topics, or final revision in spring.

Masterclass Plus members enjoy early access to calendar openings before they are released to Masterclass Live members – giving you more chance to get the slot you need.

Year 13 classes are on Wednesday evenings, starting from September 16th (AQA: 6pm, OCR A: 7pm). Year 12 classes are on Tuesdays at 5.30pm, starting on 15th September. There are three live classes per month, with the 4th week being focused on the assessment along with recorded material to support exam technique.

All classes are delivered on Zoom. Students access the links via the online course portal, which is also where they can access the resource bank, assignments and weekly quizzes so everything is in one place. Students can interact via the chat during lessons and are encouraged to ask and answer questions.

All students will have access to a quick quiz before each lesson – I strongly encourage that you do this (it only takes 10-15 minutes) every week as it helps me assess the knowledge of the class and tailor my teaching (plus it gets your brain into gear on the topic we’re covering!). It’s a good idea to have a periodic table and calculator for every class, along with some paper, notebook or whiteboard so you can work things out and make notes.

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 have enhanced DBS and extensive experience teaching online; 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 cover familiar content that is designed to ‘bridge the gap’ – either between GCSE and A Level, or between Year 12 and Year 13. These topics are essential foundations, and we focus on more challenging examples and exam technique – the in depth examples that you might not have understood or had time to cover in class. By the second half term, all students will have covered enough content in school for us to agree on a core curriculum and I check in with students regularly to see which topics and skills are a priority.

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 50-60 minutes and will include topics we covered in class that month, as well as a more general focus on exam technique. You can choose to print it out, fill in using an iPad or tablet or just write your answers on paper.
Students in ‘Masterclass Live’ can access a walkthrough video and mark scheme once they complete the assignment, and use this to self-mark. Students in ‘Masterclass Plus’ can submit their assignment for it to be fully marked, with personalised feedback and advice given alongside the video walkthrough and mark scheme.

The aim of this programme is to offer a complete support package for exam technique and study skills – not just weekly topic-based lessons. As students work through the materials in the resource bank or the weekly retrieval practice quizzes, they can ask questions using the ‘comment’ function on each lesson – I will do my best to reply quickly (usually within 24-48 hours)! If students have a particular example of an exam question or something more lengthy they want to work through, they can email me and I can try to incorporate it into group lessons, point towards a useful revision resource, or suggest a 1:1 session.

The prices for each tier and year group are shown above, along with what is included. Year 12 prices range from £45-£70 per month and for Year 13 £65-£95 per month. Bookings are taken online through the website and you will be charged once per month. You can cancel your subscription at any time; recurring payments will stop and you retain access to materials until the end of your current prepaid month. You can resubscribe at a later date (assuming there are spaces in the class) and your course progress will be saved.

Year 12 students have access to the Year 12 resource bank, live lessons and recordings. Year 13 students get access to both Year 12 and Year 13 resource banks, Year 13 live lessons, plus recordings of Year 12 lessons each week as well. This gives them a more complete package to not only cover recent topics but also consolidate all the past materials. In addition, Year 13 assessments are slightly longer.

I put a lot of work into my group programme, as well as writing predicted papers, mock exams and preparing exam revision courses. Therefore, I have very limited space for regular weekly 1:1 tuition. However, I do offer a selection of 1:1 slots each month which are bookable by students on my group class. These slots cost £65 for one hour – priority booking is given to students in Masterclass Plus and any remaining slots are then offered to Masterclass Live students. This is a great alternative to booking a weekly one to one slot, as it is more cost effective and flexible – allowing you to book more intensive support when you really need it.
