Class Format · Live 1-to-1 · Fully Online
Online Isn't the Compromise. Group Classes Are.
A live 1-to-1 class with a Chemistry specialist (shared whiteboard, past papers marked on screen, recording and notes sent after) gives your child more direct teaching in 1.5 hours than a week of centre group classes. Here's exactly how it runs.
No forms. WhatsApp us and we reply the same day.
Inside a 1.5-Hour Class
Live video, one tutor, one student
Classes run on Zoom or Google Meet. The tutor sees your child's working in real time and corrects it in real time, not at the end of a worksheet, when the wrong method has already been practised six times.
A shared digital whiteboard
Equations, dot-and-cross diagrams, mole calculations, energy profiles: tutor and student write on the same board at the same time. Everything that happens on paper in a classroom happens here, and nothing gets wiped at the end.
Past papers, screen-shared and marked live
The tutor shares real 0620 questions on screen, your child answers, and the answer is marked against the official mark scheme on the spot, including which exact phrase earned or lost each mark.
WhatsApp support
Homework is assigned after each class, sent over WhatsApp, and marked accordingly during the next one.
"But Chemistry Has Practicals. How Does That Work Online?"
Better than you'd expect, because of how 0620 assesses practical skills. Your child sits either Paper 5 (a supervised practical exam at school) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical, a written paper about experiments). Most of our students sit Paper 6, and ATP is a paper about describing, interpreting and evaluating experiments, not performing them.
That makes it well suited to online teaching. We teach the standard 0620 experiments (titrations, electrolysis set-ups, rates investigations, salt preparation, chromatography) using labelled diagrams on the whiteboard, videos of the experiments being performed, and ATP-style past-paper questions marked against the real mark scheme. Paper 5/6 carries 20% of the grade and is the least-revised paper in the subject; our Paper 6 guide shows the method in full.
Students sitting Paper 5 do the hands-on work at school, as Cambridge requires. We prepare the thinking behind it: planning, accuracy, sources of error, and how to phrase conclusions for the marks.
Test the format before you trust it
The free 1-hour trial runs on exactly this format: same whiteboard, same live marking, same specialist. If online doesn't work for your child, you'll know inside the hour, for free.
"Will My Child Actually Focus Online?"
The fear comes from a real place: recorded video lessons and 30-student online classrooms, where a teenager can mute, switch tabs, and drift for an hour unnoticed. That's passive screen time, and it deserves the bad reputation.
A 1-to-1 live class is the opposite dynamic. The tutor's full attention is on one student for 90 minutes. Your child is asked a question roughly every minute or two: work this calculation, write this equation on the board, explain why that electrode gains mass. Drifting is impossible because there's no crowd to drift behind. Parents who watch the trial lesson usually report the same surprise: their child concentrated harder than they do at school.
The Tech You Need (It's a Short List)
A laptop
Any laptop from the last 5-6 years runs Zoom or Meet plus a browser whiteboard comfortably. A desktop works equally well.
Stable internet
A standard Malaysian home fibre line is more than enough. If the connection drops mid-class, lost time is made up.
A tablet (optional)
A tablet with a stylus makes whiteboard writing smoother, but it's not required. Pen and paper held to the camera works too.
That's the whole setup. What it buys is the real advantage of online: your child is matched to the best available Chemistry specialist in Malaysia, not the nearest tutor to your house. The full service (matching, syllabus mapping, homework marking) is on the tutoring page, and the price is one line on the pricing page: RM80/hr.
Questions parents ask about online classes
What equipment does my child need?
A laptop and stable internet. That's it. A tablet with a stylus is a nice optional extra for writing on the shared whiteboard, but plenty of students do fine with a mouse or by working on paper and holding it up.
Will my child actually focus in an online class?
In a 1-to-1 class, yes. There's nowhere to hide. The tutor asks your child to work every question, explain every step, and write on the shared whiteboard. It's the opposite of passively watching a video.
How do you teach the practical paper online?
Most of our students sit Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical), a written paper about experiments, not a lab session. We teach the standard 0620 experiments with diagrams, videos, and ATP-style questions, which suits online teaching well.
Are classes recorded?
Yes. Your child gets the class recording plus the annotated whiteboard notes after each session, so revision starts from their own lesson. That matters most before the May/June or Oct/Nov exams.
Is there help between classes?
Yes. Students send homework and questions over WhatsApp between classes. Tutors mark set past-paper work before the next session and answer quick questions as they come.
Which platform do you use, and what if the connection drops?
Zoom or Google Meet, whichever you prefer. If a connection drops mid-class, the tutor waits, and lost time is made up. You pay for teaching time, not downtime.
