Teacher sucks!

I am currently studying AS course in chemistry (salters course) but my teacher is so crap that sometimes in lesson I think shes wasting my time.

Generally I can say I have interest in chemistry but with a teacher like her I don't learn very much.

So guess what guys im another sufferer from crap teacher syndrome and this may cost me my future career,

So I need to self teach like many poor fellows out there and I was wondering if there is any websites/books out there that can fill the syllabus so I can get an A grade, (dunno if Im dreamin if I self teach).

So far I manage to get these sites to help but not sure if its enough.

and past papers since she supplied us with them, probably the only good thing towards my education.

Also a revision guide but in my opinion I think its very brief with very few questions to do.

so I need advice from people who done the salters course.

A lot of good websites here for extra reading and consolidation of chemistry knowledge:

Don't want to state the obvious. How about a revision book?

My teacher is crappy too, I basically self teach, my lessons are a waste of time. I just learn from a textbook.

Well all I can say is that you're wrong about the revision guide - it's very good. I didn't even look at my notes and got got high grades in the two papers. I just read it. Also chemical ideas is very good, if you make notes on the sections and then just attempt the problems, it's the best way.

I teach myself chemitsry and half of biology, and i just learn the textbook basically. It's fun.
For Ocr salters this is the ultimate revision guide I recommend you to purchase If you really want to self teach and get an A.
