Need an IGCSE Chemistry tutor in Islington or online?
IGCSE Chemistry follows a different structure to UK GCSE Chemistry — different practical requirements, different formula and data sheets, and for many students, a different tier system entirely. Muhammad works from your child’s actual specification, whether Edexcel International GCSE, CIE, or another board, so every lesson maps onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which are guesswork, and whether Core or Extended tier is the right target. From there, sessions run one to one or two to one, in person or online.
What’s covered
- Atomic structure and the periodic table
- Bonding and structure
- Chemical formulae and equations
- Chemical energetics
- Rates of reaction and equilibrium
- Acids, bases and salts
- Organic chemistry
- Core vs Extended tier and exam technique
Content applies across boards — Edexcel International, CIE, AQA, OCR and WJEC all draw on the same underlying chemistry, so the difference is mostly in question style and paper structure, not what’s taught. Tier is reviewed regularly rather than fixed at the outset.
Students typically start anywhere from confident-but-inconsistent to unsure where to begin, and work towards the exam-technique fluency that turns understanding into marks. By the end, most students reach a place where a chemistry problem no longer feels unfamiliar — just another one they know how to start.
