Year 9-11 Science Tuition in Physics & Chemistry
Science tuition to prepare your child for their GCSE’s
Science may be a subject that your child finds daunting and challenging. We find that a lot of the enquiries we get here at Kip McGrath Brentwood are related to difficulties with both science and maths together. It does not matter whether your child is completely stumped at having to interpret a displacement reaction between copper sulphate and magnesium, our Kip McGrath Brentwood teacher can help you. Don’t hesitate to get in touch. Simply give us a call and we can book a free assessment for you or click the button below.
How the lessons are structured
Our science teacher is fully qualified and has in depth knowledge of the curriculum, whether it’s OCR, Edexcel or AQA. We will focus on bespoke tutoring and exam practice. Our teacher will go through any specific topics that they might be struggling with in school.
Chemistry
Students often find it challenging to write the formula for a molecule or compound based on its name. If this is something your child finds difficult, our Kip McGrath Brentwood science teacher would advise the student to decide whether the compound is covalent or ionic first. The name is the big clue if the compound is covalent. For example, Carbon Monoxide means one carbon and one oxygen atom (CO). Of course, there are exceptions to this rule such as water, ammonia and methane amongst others but there aren’t that many, so it is best to learn them for the exam. We can help you with specific techniques to tough topics here at Kip McGrath Brentwood.
Physics
You may have noticed that in the new GCSE Physics paper, there are a lot of equations. You may be thinking learning all of these on top of everything else is an uphill battle, but the best way to master these equations is to understand how they work. That, along with a lot of exam practice (which we will help you with), will break down physics for you into a more manageable bitesize chunk! Remember to always show your working out because as with maths, you can gain a lot from method marks.
