Tutoring, teachers and pricing

How much does IGCSE Chemistry tutoring cost?

RM80-90 per hour, depending on the assigned teacher. Regular classes run for 1.5 hours, so each class costs RM120-135. We confirm the teacher and rate before the paid trial lesson. There is no package commitment after the trial.

Are classes genuinely one-to-one?

Yes. Each live online class has one IGCSE Chemistry teacher and one student. The lesson can therefore focus on the student's own syllabus gaps, recent school work and examination-paper needs rather than the pace of a group.

Who teaches the Chemistry classes?

The named IGCSE Chemistry teaching team includes K. S. Tan (15+ years teaching IGCSE Chemistry), Ms Yash (10+ years teaching IGCSE Chemistry) and Ms Kartini (15+ years teaching IGCSE Chemistry). The teacher offered to a family depends on availability and the student's needs, and is confirmed before the trial lesson.

What does the teachers' experience mean for my child?

It means the service can draw on substantial experience teaching IGCSE Chemistry. Experience is not presented as a guaranteed grade, examiner appointment or substitute for checking the student's current work. The first lesson should still be judged on how clearly the teacher diagnoses and teaches the student's actual difficulty.

How are classes delivered online?

Classes are live and one-to-one using an online meeting platform with screen sharing or a digital whiteboard. Teachers can explain equations, diagrams and calculations, then work through relevant IGCSE Chemistry questions with the student in real time.

How do teachers cover practical Chemistry online?

Paper 5 is a laboratory Practical Test, while Paper 6 is a written Alternative to Practical paper. Online lessons can prepare students for experimental planning, apparatus, observations, tables, graphs, errors and improvements. A student's school or examination centre remains responsible for any laboratory access required for Paper 5.

The paid trial lesson

Is the first lesson free?

No. Every new student begins with a 1-hour paid trial lesson at the assigned teacher's hourly rate of RM80-90. It is a real Chemistry lesson, not a free sales consultation.

Why is there a trial lesson?

It lets the student and parent evaluate the teacher's explanation, pace and fit before committing to regular classes. The teacher can also see the student's current work and begin identifying the most important gaps. One lesson should not be treated as a guaranteed full-syllabus diagnosis.

Do we have to continue after the trial?

No. The trial is paid as one lesson and creates no package or term commitment. Continue only when the teaching approach and proposed next steps make sense for the student.

What should my child prepare for the trial?

Bring the latest marked school test or mock paper if available, the examination code and route, and one or two topics that feel difficult. That gives the teacher more useful evidence than a broad statement that Chemistry is hard.

The Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry qualification

What is Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620?

Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 (2026–2028) is the qualification covered by this site's lesson and revision resources. Candidates take a multiple-choice paper, a theory paper and either the Paper 5 Practical Test or Paper 6 Alternative to Practical.

What is the difference between Core and Extended?

Core candidates take Papers 1 and 3 and can receive grades C to G. Extended candidates take Papers 2 and 4 and can receive grades A* to G. Both routes also include Paper 5 or Paper 6. The student's school or examination centre makes the official entry.

Do you teach both Core and Extended?

Yes. The route must be clear because Extended includes the Core content plus Supplement depth. Lessons and practice should match the student's actual paper entry rather than mixing the two routes without explanation.

My child's code is 0971 rather than 0620. Can these resources still help?

Cambridge describes Chemistry 0971 as the 9-1 graded version that is otherwise the same as Chemistry 0620. Availability is limited by administrative zone, so families should confirm the code and entry details with the school or examination centre.

When can Malaysian candidates take the examination?

Availability depends on the examination centre, administrative zone and current Cambridge timetable. Malaysian schools and private-candidate centres commonly work with the June or November series, but the centre's written entry confirmation is the source of truth for the student's papers and dates.

Getting started and measuring progress

Can students outside Kuala Lumpur take the classes?

Yes. The tutoring is fully online and is available to students across Malaysia, subject to teacher availability and a workable timetable. A stable internet connection and a device suitable for viewing and writing Chemistry work are important.

How do we enquire?

Use the WhatsApp button and include the student's year, Core or Extended route, examination series, current grade, weak topics or papers and preferred timetable. There is no enquiry form on the site.

How should progress be measured?

Use comparable evidence: topic-question scores, timed paper results, recurring error categories and the student's ability to explain or calculate without prompts. Confidence matters, but it should be supported by work that can be checked.

Where are the Chemistry testimonials and results?

Genuine student and parent testimonials are now published on the home page and the results page, shared with permission and with reviewer names withheld for privacy. Specific grade results are added only when they can be verified with permission. The teachers' years of IGCSE Chemistry experience are not presented as student result data, and the founder's Math background is kept separate from Chemistry proof.

Include the student's year, route, exam series, current grade and weak topics. The first lesson is a paid one-hour trial at the assigned teacher's hourly rate.
