Welcome to Queen Elizabeth Academy of Canada. We offer A level chemistry tutoring services in Hong Kong, in private 1 on 1 sessions. Our students have gained admissions to top universities in the US, UK and Canada, such as Yale, UC Berkeley, the University of Toronto, and top UK medical schools.

How can our A Level Chemistry tutor in HK help you?

A level Chemistry is a challenging subject. Many students resort to memorizing everything: concepts, formulas, steps, and hope to do well on tests - only to end up performing poorly. A level Chemistry tests and exams comprise application problems that are scenario-based and change each time. Some of them are lab-based, requiring an understanding of how to read and use lab data.

The second challenge most students underestimate is that the equations and concepts they learn are based on ideal cases. A level questions involve experimental data based on real cases. Oftentimes, an ideal equation will break down in a real scenario. The student must know how to change the rules and modify the assumptions in a real case. In our tutoring lessons, we delve into these details so our students will have an in-depth understanding to modify the rules under real application situations, enabling them to solve A level problems effectively.

All QEA chemistry tutoring is one on one private. We teach the full lesson and review what you learned during the week. In this way, you won’t miss anything.

How to score high in A Level Chemistry

A Level Chemistry

A level Chemistry is a challenging subject. Many students resort to memorizing formulas and hoping to plug in a number to receive the answer - and do well on tests and exams. Oftentimes the teacher will change the question - especially on application problems, where the student will get student, result in poor grades.

Memorizing steps and equations doesn't work in A level chemistry. You need to start with the foundation (such as stoichiometry, or calculating equilibrium). The. next step is to understand the concept and know how to apply to specific problems on A level chemistry. Then the next step is to go through a variety of application problems, which is especially difficult in A level chemistry. Then learn important problem solving skills tailored to A level chemistry. These are all situation based questions that you will encounter on your A level chemistry tests and exams

Tips to score high in A Level chemistry

Tip #1: Understanding the concept in depth with good explanations

To score high in A level chemistry, students needs to understand the concept in depth, and the why behind it

Understand the reasoning is important, in order to apply the logic to changing circumstances. Memorizing rules and formulas will not works

Tip #2: Understand how each sub-concept relates to each other

A lot of concepts in chemistry are inter-related. Students need to understand how each sub-concept related to one another. It is often useful to draw a "big picture" flowchart.

A Level chemistry tutor HK 29

Tip #3: Understand the chemical formulas, especially the assumptions and conditions behind them, and understand how they will change when the underlying conditions change

One of the biggest challenges for students on A level problems, is to know the difference between ideal vs. real situation for chemical equations.

Chemical equations are based on ideal case. However, on A level problems, they will present real situation (especially those data / lab based problems), where the chemical equation will break down / no longer work

Take a calorimetry problem. Most students knows how to calculate heat

A Level chemistry tutor HK 31

say heat transfer in a coffee inside a cup. However, when it comes to an A level problem, this equation will breakdown, so simply plugging in numbers will get the wrong answer.

Why? Because this equation is based on the assumption that all variable remain constant. In a real situation / A level calculation, m (mass) is not constant, as the coffee will slowly evaporates

Therefore, students need to understand the underlying assumption behind each equation, and know how to modify the equations based on the changing circumstances

This is what we teach at QE lessons.

Tip #4: Learn problem solving techniques to tackle multiple choice and long answer A Level questions

To score well on A level, it's critcal to learn problem solving techniques.

When it comes to multiple choice, there are process of elimination technique specially used for A level. This will help students to speed up and gain time solving multiple choice problems.

For long answer A level problems, because oftentimes they combine multiple concepts into one question, it is important to learn problem solving techniques, so you will know how to apply / combine / modify questions based on changing circumstances.

We teach these techniques in our A level lessons.
