Learn Chemistry Directly From an Examiner
Most students lose 15 to 25 marks on their A-Level Chemistry papers not because they didn't study, but because they wrote vague explanations that fail official marking schemes. Examiners don't have time to guess what you meant — they look for exact scientific terminology and rigorous multi-step working.
Having moderated and marked thousands of A-Level papers, I show students the precise wording, unit checks, and structural steps required to secure top marks. In our small Sunday group of 6, no student sits quietly with misunderstood concepts — we resolve every issue immediately.
What Parents & Students Say
Read how targeted examiner guidance turns predicted C/B grades into medical school A/A* achievements.
"My son was stuck on a grade C in Year 12 Chemistry, particularly struggling with thermodynamics and equilibrium calculations. Joining Fiaraz's small group made an immediate difference. The small group format meant he couldn't hide in the background, and Fiaraz picked up on tiny calculation habits that were costing him marks. He achieved an A* and is now reading Medicine at Leeds."
"The Sunday 7pm time slot is ideal — it sets you up with total confidence for the school week ahead. Fiaraz explains organic mechanisms and NMR spectroscopy far better than my school teachers. Being in a group of only 5 or 6 students gave me the exact balance of personalised feedback and hearing other students ask questions I hadn't thought of."
"At £35 an hour, the value is unbeatable compared to private tutors charging £80 who aren't even examiners. Fiaraz marks homework thoroughly every single week with handwritten annotations. The difference in my daughter's test scores in school was noticeable within three weeks."
