Class size
Maximum 4 students
Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by level — if no existing session matches your child’s pace, we open a new one.

IP Chemistry tuition for Secondary 3–4
Live online IP Chemistry tuition for Secondary 3–4 students. Tutors use school assignments, topic lists and feedback to help students explain reactions, work through calculations and interpret experiments.
Live online classes · Maximum 4 students · 1.5 hours weekly
Follow the school’s Chemistry programme
- Particles, bonding and the properties of substances
- Equations, quantities and multi-step calculations
- Interpreting unfamiliar chemical information
- Experimental planning, evidence and evaluation
Syllabus & assessment
Check your school’s current programme
The school sources below describe their IP programmes. Use your child’s current topic list and assessment scope to plan lessons.
Study guide · 01
Build a revision plan from the school’s assessment scope
IP schools organise their Chemistry topics differently. Use the school’s current topic list, assignment instructions and teacher feedback to plan revision.
For each assessed topic, try a question without notes: explain a property, write an equation, calculate a quantity or interpret results. Mark the first step you cannot complete or explain, then practise that part.
Bring the question and marked answer. A comment such as “explain further” might mean a particle is missing, a condition is unstated or the data does not support the conclusion. The tutor works through that point and checks it in another question.
Study guide · 02
Connect a chemical model to an observation
A useful explanation names the relevant particles, describes what changes and links that change to the observation. Begin with the conditions: state, temperature, concentration or the substances present. If a condition changes, the explanation may need to change too. Avoid transferring a memorised sentence before checking its assumptions.
Compare cases where one important feature differs. For conductivity, ask which charged particles are present and whether they can move through the material. For a reaction, distinguish what was observed from the particle-level explanation. These checks make the answer specific enough to support its conclusion.
The task
Solid magnesium chloride does not conduct electricity, but molten magnesium chloride does. Explain the difference.
Worked response
Both states contain ions. In the solid the ions occupy fixed positions in the lattice and cannot carry charge through the substance. In the melt the ions can move and carry charge, so it conducts electricity.
Both states contain ions. What changes is whether the ions can move and carry charge. Free electrons would be the wrong explanation for this ionic substance.
Study guide · 03
Show calculation steps and explain results
Write the balanced equation and label each quantity with its substance. Coefficients relate amounts in moles, not masses directly. Convert units before substitution and state any condition on which a method depends. In a limiting-reagent question, compare the available amounts against the equation rather than choosing the smaller mass.
Describe what the results show, then check the variables and controls before drawing a conclusion. Repeated measurements help you see how consistent the results are; other changes in conditions may limit what you can conclude.
We discuss experimental plans, data and written explanations online. Share the school’s task instructions and feedback so the tutor can choose what to work on. Students practise using apparatus at school.
Where schoolwork reveals a gap
Familiar facts in an unfamiliar setting
A question supplies a new substance or process. Students need to identify which familiar principle applies and explain why.
Working that hides an assumption
Students check whether the question states that a reagent is in excess and which gas-volume conditions to use before calculating.
How we support the school course
Read the task and feedback together
We use the current topic list, assessment scope and teacher comments to choose what to practise.
Explain each step
Students explain how the diagram, equation or data helps them answer the question.
Try another set of conditions
We change the conditions or values and ask the student to explain whether the same method still applies.

Getting started
Arrange a trial class
Bring recent schoolwork so the tutor can plan the first lesson.
Bring a recent piece of work
We read the questions, your child’s answers and teacher feedback to choose what to work on.
Confirm the right class
We message you to confirm the school programme, 2027 year level and lesson time.
Try a lesson
A trial class lets your child meet the teacher, take part and see how the lessons work.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
How many students are in each class?
Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no session matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
How much does a dedicated trial session cost?
A dedicated trial session at a different timeslot is offered at a subsidised rate of $30. We’ll help you explore the available options.
Is there one IP Chemistry syllabus?
Each school sets its own sequence and assessments. Bring the current topic outline and recent work so lessons fit what your child is studying.
What should we bring to an IP Chemistry trial?
Bring a recent assignment or assessment with the student’s working, feedback and current topic list. We confirm the school programme, 2027 year level and suitable lesson time after the request.
Are these practical laboratory lessons?
Lessons are live online and cover concepts, calculations, experimental planning and data. Hands-on laboratory practice takes place through the school’s programme.
Is registration open for 2027?
Class registration for the 2027 school year is open. Request a trial class using the form. We will message you to confirm your child’s 2027 level and class details.
Is practice included?
Yes. Students practise on DeepThink between their weekly live online lessons.
