Looking for a VCE Chemistry tutor in Officer, Pakenham, Berwick or Beaconsfield? We teach VCE Chemistry Units 1 to 4 in small groups of no more than three, taught by a PhD researcher, in Officer and online.
VCE Chemistry asks students to understand ideas, carry out careful calculations and explain their reasoning in writing. Students often lose marks on stoichiometry, units and written explanations rather than on the chemistry itself. We work on all three.
VCE Chemistry tutoring: what we cover
Foundations of chemistry
Atomic structure, bonding and materials, the mole and stoichiometry, acids and bases, and reactions in water.
See Years 11 & 12 → Units 3 & 4Energy, rates and equilibrium
Fuels and energy, electrochemistry, reaction rates and equilibrium, with plenty of calculation practice.

Questions parents ask
Do you teach Units 1 and 2 as well as Units 3 and 4?
Yes. We teach all four units, and many students start in Unit 1 so the foundations are strong before Year 12.
Do you help with SACs?
Yes. We prepare students with practice in the same style and work through the topics each SAC covers. We do not complete assessed work for students.
Where are VCE Chemistry lessons held?
At our tutoring space at 29 Officedale Rd, Officer, a short drive from Pakenham, Berwick, Beaconsfield and Clyde North. We also offer online VCE Chemistry tutoring across Victoria.
How big are the classes?
