Why Students Struggle with A-Level Chemistry
A-Level Chemistry is one of the most demanding JC subjects, whether you’re taking H2 Chemistry or H1 Chemistry. Common struggles include:
- High Content Load & Complexity
Mastering theory, calculations, and lab skills under exam pressure. - Weak Conceptual Understanding
Rote memorisation doesn’t work for A Level Chemistry tuition — exams demand true comprehension. - Challenging Application-Based Questions
Students need to apply multiple concepts to unfamiliar scenarios. - Lack of Exam Strategies
Without structured answering techniques, marks slip away easily. - Inconsistent Practice
Poor revision habits lead to weak retention and exam stress.
Our H2 Chemistry tuition and H1 Chem tuition programs are designed to eliminate these pain points with clear, step-by-step guidance.
A-Level Chemistry Tuition Programs
We provide tailored support for all JC students, with specialized tracks in H2 Chemistry tuition, H1 Chem tuition, and comprehensive A Level Chemistry tuition.
H2 Chemistry Tuition
Our H2 Chemistry tuition program covers the full MOE syllabus, with emphasis on:
- Organic Chemistry (reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, synthesis)
- Physical Chemistry (thermodynamics, equilibria, kinetics, electrochemistry)
- Inorganic Chemistry (periodicity, transition metals, bonding)
Focus:
- Mastery of Paper 1 MCQ, Paper 2 Structured Questions, and Paper 3 Essays.
- Exam strategy coaching to maximize marks.
- Intensive practice to build application skills and confidence.

Integrated A-Level Chemistry Tuition
For JC students who want complete support, our A Level Chemistry tuition program:
- Covers the syllabus systematically for both H1 and H2 students.
- Provides weekly practice, feedback, and progress tracking.
Why Focus Chemistry Stands Out
Specialized Expert Tutors
All classes are taught by our two core Chemistry tutors — not part-timers.
Small, Focused Class Sizes
Ensuring personalised attention and real-time feedback
Proven Results
Students routinely improve 2–3 grade bands, with many securing As and Bs in H2 Chemistry and H1 Chemistry.
Online & Offline Flexibility
Attend at Balmoral Plaza or join online. Every student gets digital notes and lesson recordings.
What You’ll Gain from Focus Chemistry Tuition
Strong conceptual foundations in all syllabus topics.
Exam-ready skills to tackle MCQs, structured, and essay-style questions.
Confidence to apply knowledge in unfamiliar scenarios.
A higher chance of achieving distinctions in H2 Chemistry or H1 Chemistry.
