London · A-Level Chemistry
From £11/hour · Free 30-minute trial
Online A-Level Chemistry tutors in London for students taking AQA (7405), Pearson Edexcel (9CH0) or OCR (H432). The step up from GCSE is demanding, and many students lose marks on mole calculations, balanced equations and extended explanations. Combo Tutors Academy provides one-to-one online lessons with Chemistry specialists for families across London, from Hampstead and Islington to Wimbledon and Canary Wharf. Targeted past-paper practice and mark-scheme feedback build secure understanding and exam confidence, helping students work towards higher grades.

Most London sixth forms teach UK A-Levels from AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR, while some independent and international schools use Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International A-Levels. Chemistry papers, practical requirements and mark schemes differ between these specifications, so we confirm the board, specification code and exam year before matching a tutor. Lessons focus on the step up from GCSE, Year 12 assessments, Year 13 mocks and the summer exam series, using past papers for that specification. If GCSE or IGCSE foundations need work first, our IGCSE Chemistry tutors in London can help.
Our tutors
Verified tutor profiles from our network. After the free trial we match your child to a A-Level Chemistry specialist for their exact specification.
Oxford PhD — A-Level Chemistry & Biology Specialist
Cambridge PhD — IGCSE Chemistry & Biology Specialist
IB Examiner — Chemistry & Biology HL/SL Specialist
Exam boards we cover
Each awarding body writes its own specification, so lessons match the syllabus code, assessment objectives, paper structure and grade boundaries your child faces, using that board's past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports.
Lessons follow this specification's topic order, assessment objectives and paper structure, with past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports. Required practicals, calculations and organic mechanisms are practised against the mark scheme.

Used by some independent and international schools. These are different qualifications from UK A-Levels, so we confirm which one your child takes and use matching past papers.
Each board splits the course differently, so lessons are planned around the papers your child will actually sit.
Syllabus coverage
Our A-Level Chemistry tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where London students most consistently lose marks.
Orbitals, shapes of molecules and intermolecular forces.
Hess cycles, Born-Haber and entropy.
Rate equations, Kc, Kp and acid-base equilibria.
Periodicity, group chemistry and transition metals.
Mechanisms, isomerism, NMR, IR and mass spectrometry.
Standard electrode potentials, cells and fuel cells.
Titration accuracy, organic prep and lab writeups.
CIE 9701 and Edexcel 9CH0 mark-scheme drilling.
AQA sets 12 required practicals, and OCR and Edexcel set their own lists. At least 15% of exam marks test practical knowledge, and the Practical Endorsement itself is signed off at school.
We do not pretend a video call replaces lab time. We make sure the lab work done at school converts into exam marks.

How we fix it:At least 20% of A-Level Chemistry marks test maths, and many lost marks are arithmetic and units, not concepts. We drill calculations in small steps until the method is automatic.
How we fix it:Curly arrows, intermediates and conditions are marked strictly. We teach mechanism drawing as a routine, reaction map by reaction map.
How we fix it:Extended questions are level-marked, and one-line answers score the bottom band. Students learn to build developed explanations.
How we fix it:Combined NMR, IR and mass-spec questions reward a fixed routine: formula first, then fragments, then structure. We practise it on past papers.

Sarah M.
IB Mathematics · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
A-Level Physics · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
Priya K.
GCSE Science · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
Daniel W.
SAT Prep Student · Boston
I used Combo Tutors to prepare for the Digital SAT. My tutor helped me develop a study plan, learn time-management techniques, and practise with realistic mock tests. My score jumped by 150 points between my diagnostic and actual exam. The Digital SAT-specific tips were especially valuable since the format was new to me.
Amira H.
Parent of IGCSE Student · Dubai
Finding a tutor who understood the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus was a challenge until we found Combo Tutors. Our daughter's English tutor was exceptional—she improved her essay structure, analytical writing, and comprehension skills significantly. She achieved an A* and is now much more confident heading into her A-Level studies.
Oliver R.
AP Student · San Francisco
I was really anxious about AP Chemistry because our school teacher moved through the material so fast. My Combo Tutors tutor helped me revisit topics at my own pace, work through past free-response questions, and build a solid revision strategy. I scored a 5 on the exam and feel well-prepared for university chemistry. Couldn't have done it without them.

No. Combo Tutors is an independent tutoring provider with no affiliation to any London school. We don't assume a board from the school's name, so please share the subject specification.
Yes. A tutor reviews recent tests, targets the weakest topics and practises exam-style questions with mark-scheme feedback. How much support is needed depends on the starting point.
Book a free 30-minute trial and tell us the year group, board, recent results and target. We match a tutor and agree a weekly plan.
The Practical Endorsement is assessed at school, but at least 15% of the written exam marks test practical knowledge. We prepare students for those questions: techniques, calculations, error analysis and past-paper practical questions for their board.
Paper 3 is synoptic: it can examine any part of the course and leans on practical techniques and data handling. We prepare for it with mixed-topic papers once the core topics are secure.
Yes. Calculation fluency is a trainable routine: moles, equilibria (Kc and Kp), pH and energetics calculations are drilled step by step with mark-scheme feedback.
Yes, and students who continue to the full A-Level keep the same tutor where possible.
