The Growing Stars Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry Tutoring Program provides personalized one-on-one support to help students build strong subject knowledge, prepare effectively for Cambridge assessments, and develop skills valuable for future studies and careers in chemistry, medicine, engineering, pharmacy, chemical sciences, and related fields.
Tutoring is aligned with the Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry (9701) syllabus applicable to the student’s examination year. At AS Level, students study 22 topics covering atomic structure, atoms, molecules and stoichiometry, chemical bonding, states of matter, chemical energetics, electrochemistry, equilibria, reaction kinetics, periodicity, Group 2, Group 17, nitrogen and sulfur, organic chemistry, polymerisation, organic synthesis, and analytical techniques. At A Level, students build on the AS content and study additional topics covering chemical energetics, electrochemistry, equilibria, reaction kinetics, Group 2, transition elements, advanced organic chemistry, hydrocarbons, halogen compounds, hydroxy compounds, carboxylic acids and derivatives, nitrogen compounds, polymerisation, organic synthesis, and analytical techniques.
The program supports the application-focused nature of Cambridge Chemistry, including applying chemical concepts, carrying out quantitative calculations, analyzing and interpreting experimental data, explaining chemical phenomena, evaluating experimental methods, and solving unfamiliar problems. Students also develop practical and experimental skills, including planning investigations, handling apparatus and data, drawing conclusions, and evaluating experimental procedures and results.
AS & A Level Chemistry combines conceptual understanding, mathematical calculations, practical investigation, and the application of chemical principles to unfamiliar problems.
Common challenges include:
Personalized tutoring helps students break down complex concepts, practise calculations step by step, strengthen practical reasoning, and develop effective exam strategies.

Find quick answers to common questions about our AS & A Level Chemistry tutoring, session format, and student support.
Sessions run live on our interactive platform, using audio/video, a digital whiteboard, screen sharing, chat, homework tools, progress monitoring, and a parent portal, so the tutor and student can work through problems together in real time.
Yes. Sessions are aligned with your child's curriculum, textbooks, class notes, assignments, and other learning materials. The tutor can adapt to the resources your child uses, even when the exact textbook or materials vary, while also preparing for upcoming assessments.
Yes. We pair each student with one dedicated tutor for consistency, so sessions build on each other instead of starting from scratch each time.
Progress is monitored through regular practice, homework, quizzes, assessments, and ongoing tutor feedback. Parents can access progress updates and reports through the Parent Portal, email, and GS App, helping them stay informed about their child's learning, strengths, areas for improvement, and overall progress.
Not necessarily. Tutoring is aligned with your curriculum, textbooks, class notes, assignments, and other learning materials, with additional practice questions and study materials provided as needed.
Yes. Sessions can be tailored to focus on specific topics where your child needs additional support, while also covering broader course content as needed. The tutor can adjust the pace, practice, and level of support based on your child's learning needs.
Yes. Live online tutoring can be highly effective, with real-time interaction, an interactive digital whiteboard, audio/video, screen sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. Tutors can explain concepts, work through questions, and provide immediate feedback, while the interactive platform supports personalized instruction similar to an in-person session.
AS Level covers the first part of the course and is assessed through the AS Level components. A Level includes the AS Level content plus additional A Level content and assessment components.
AS Level is assessed through Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3. These cover multiple-choice questions, structured questions, and advanced practical skills.
Students completing the full A Level take Paper 4 and Paper 5 in addition to the AS Level components. Paper 4 assesses A Level content, while Paper 5 focuses on planning, analysis, and evaluation.
Students study atomic structure, stoichiometry, bonding, energetics, equilibria, kinetics, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical techniques. Full A Level includes additional advanced content building on AS Level foundations.
Practise mole calculations, concentrations, reacting quantities, and energetics problems. Show each step clearly, use correct units, and check whether your answer is chemically reasonable.
Organic Chemistry involves recognizing functional groups, understanding reaction conditions, learning mechanisms, and connecting reactions into synthesis pathways. Practising reaction maps and exam-style questions can help students identify patterns and apply their knowledge.
Review experimental procedures, apparatus, variables, measurements, and safety. Practise recording results, processing data, plotting graphs where required, evaluating limitations, and suggesting improvements.
AS Level covers the AS syllabus and its associated assessments. Full A Level includes the AS content alongside additional advanced topics and assessment components.
Yes. One-on-one tutoring can provide tailored explanations, guided calculation practice, support with organic reaction pathways, and feedback on practical and exam-style questions.
