IGCSE Chemistry at REAL International School – Resources and Tutoring

REAL International School is located in Cheras, on the southeastern edge of Kuala Lumpur. Part of the REAL Education Group, the school provides the Cambridge IGCSE pathway and serves students from Cheras, Kajang, Balakong, and surrounding areas. The school offers a structured environment that balances academic rigour with co-curricular development.

IGCSE Chemistry at REAL International School

REAL International School students follow the Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus across Years 10 and 11. The curriculum covers all core and extended topics, from states of matter and the periodic table through to organic chemistry and chemical energetics. The school has science laboratory facilities and students are prepared for both theory and practical examination components.

Most students sit the Extended tier, which covers the full syllabus and allows access to grades A* to G.

Where REAL International School students typically need extra support

Stoichiometry and mole calculations consistently top the list of difficult topics. Working through moles from mass, reacting masses and percentage composition demands a level of mathematical confidence that some students are still developing in Year 10. Gaps in stoichiometry understanding cascade into later topics where calculations appear, such as concentration and titration problems.

Electrolysis and organic chemistry are the other topics that most often prompt students to seek tutoring. Both require systematic memorisation of rules and their application under exam conditions.

Alongside content, command word interpretation and answer structure are skills that separate competent students from those who consistently reach the higher grades.

How online tutoring fits alongside REAL teaching

Online 1-to-1 tutoring supplements classroom teaching by providing focused attention on each student’s specific difficulties. A specialist IGCSE Chemistry tutor uses past paper questions and mark-scheme feedback to develop both knowledge and exam technique in each session.

Live video lessons use a shared digital whiteboard where the tutor writes, draws diagrams and works through calculations alongside the student. All whiteboard pages are saved for revision. For REAL students in Cheras, the online format avoids additional travel time.
