Anyone need extra help in Alevel Chemistry?

Very random however if anyone requires help in Alevel Chemistry, whether it’s securing a C or an A*, exam prep, questions or content. I’ll be happy to help.

I’m a Chemistry university graduate who is going into teaching and wouldn’t mind helping anyone with last minute questions or don’t quite understand something.

Manchester.

Loved it, as sad as it sounds I miss it.

I don't think it's sad. I was at Imperial, enjoyed my chemistry (at all levels) and my PGCE when I got round to it. Loved teaching. And it wasn't the students I minded...

Good luck with the PGCE and the teaching

Aw thank you! I’m probably going to do a bit more education chemistry wise (MSc) before applying for my pgce but I’m pretty excited for it!

how to revise for paper 3 ocr a?


I did and I tutor AQA,

Send me the specification for paper 3 so I know the AQA counterpart so I can help.

Do you have any specific questions/topics you need help on?

How did everyone find CHEM2?

Very hard. Much harder than last years paper 2. Couldn't do the question near the end about concentration gas chromatography. A lot of synthetic routes, hardly any practical qs.
This is for ocr a btw. Paper 1 i smashed very nicely. Time to make up for paper 2 in paper 3.

Biology paper 2 was not much biology related, again for ocr a.

I’m assuming this was OCR?

I’ve heard the opposite of AQA (paper 1 was hard and paper 2 was good).

What sort of synthetic routes did they ask?

Biology, oh god. I hated my biology Alevel, you’d revise for days, get to the paper and they ask you about a graph on mice. Good luck with it all!

Let me know if you have any chemistry related questions - add my telegram, happy to help.

Yes, it was OCR A. I will hopefully ask you questions after today. Currently revising for AQA practical and optional topic paper.
