Questions
Questions about fees.
Anything else? Ask it in your enquiry, and I’ll reply.
How much are lessons, and do fees differ by level?
Only for university-level chemistry. One-to-one lessons are £85 per hour at your home in London and £75 per hour online, whether the student is studying A-level Chemistry, GCSE or IGCSE Chemistry, GCSE or IGCSE Biology or Physics, or KS3 Science. University-level chemistry is £150 per hour.
Small-group sessions for KS3 and GCSE students, online in groups of up to six, are £50 per student, per hour.

Lessons are 60 minutes. You can pay by bank transfer, before or after each lesson, or in advance if you prefer. A block of 10 lessons paid in advance is £765 at your home in London or £675 online, 10% less than paying lesson by lesson.

No. There are no registration or other fees, and travel is included in the fee for lessons at your home, up to 6 miles.

I teach on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings from 6 pm, and Saturdays from 8 am; the last lesson of the day starts at 8 pm.
Is there a trial lesson?
No, but we agree on your child’s needs before the first lesson, so that lessons begin with a clear plan.
Are online lessons charged differently?
Yes. Live one-to-one lessons online are £75 per hour, and lessons at your home in London are £85 per hour. Both include the study plan, materials, feedback and support between sessions by email. Read more about online lessons.

No. They have one-to-one A-level Chemistry lessons, with stretch beyond the specification, at the same fees as every other school-level lesson. Read more about Chemistry for Oxford, Cambridge and Medicine.
