A2 Chemistry tutoring

A2 is where chemistry becomes genuinely advanced — and where expert teaching makes the biggest difference to your grade. I specialise in the toughest A2 topics and the exam technique that turns understanding into A and A* answers.

What we cover — the advanced topics

• Advanced organic mechanisms — nucleophilic addition/substitution, electrophilic addition, elimination, aromatic chemistry, and multi-step synthesis.
• Spectroscopy — mass spectrometry, infrared (IR), and NMR (¹H and ¹³C); structure determination from combined spectra.
• Energetics — Born–Haber cycles, lattice enthalpies, entropy and free energy (ΔG).
• Kinetics — rate equations, orders of reaction, rate-determining steps, and the Arrhenius equation.
• Equilibria — Kc, Kp, and acid–base equilibria including pH, Ka, pKa, and buffers.

Why it works: these are exactly the topics where marks are won and lost — and as an examiner I know precisely how. We work full past-paper questions live, decode complex spectra together, and master the multi-step problems that separate the top grades.
