Chemistry A Level Summer Revision Course – Online

Course Information

Course Description

Our online Chemistry summer refresher courses are designed to give students a thorough recap ahead of Year 13.

During the three-day programme, our professional tutors will walk students back through everything they learnt in Year 12, strengthening their knowledge and filling in any gaps in their understanding along the way. Past paper questions will be used throughout teaching to consolidate knowledge and practice exam technique. Skills learnt on the course can be used by students once back at school to help boost grades.

To go with our online classes, students will receive a pack of our unique, high-quality revision materials. Professionally printed and bound, these workbooks and question booklets have been designed to make revision as digestible as possible during and after the course.

Helping to develop the confidence and skills to succeed, our refresher courses are an excellent way to prepare students for the final year of their A Levels.

Suitable for:

  • Students entering year 13
  • Students looking to review year 12 subject knowledge, ready to go back to school
  • Students going into year 12
  • Students wanting to focus purely on exam technique

If you need help deciding if you will benefit from this course you can contact us. Alternatively, you may prefer to book 1-2-1 tuition instead.
