There are some things that have just been so ingrained into my teaching practice that I stopped questioning them. “Oxidation is loss, reduction is gainâ€. What is not to like? It’s plastered over every almost every GCSE and A Level chemistry textbook and revision guide on my shelf. And yet, it’s only this year –…
Your grades do not determine the course of the rest of your life. It’s not been an easy year for A Level students, but remember there is always a way to get where you want to be, even if you have to take a longer route.
A while ago I published what I thought was my definitive list of the best online resources for A Level Chemistry students. As with so many things, this list is already out of date and I plan to publish a definitive definitive ‘top ten’ in the near future. In the mean time, I really want…

Instead of trying to push ahead and learn new material early, take time to really get to grips with what you already know.
Last week I posted about the best online resources for A Level chemistry students, but I know that all the useful websites and YouTube videos in the world won’t help a student who just doesn’t know where to start. This is a very uncertain time for A Level students in all subjects – Year 13…
