IGCSE Chemistry Tutor: Who These Lessons Are For

IGCSE Chemistry tutoring is not one-size-fits-all. Here are the students who get the most from working with us.

🏫
International School Students in Turkey
Studying at a Cambridge school in Istanbul, Ankara or elsewhere. You need targeted support that goes beyond what classroom lessons cover — past paper practice, mark scheme language, and exam strategy.
🌍
Students Abroad — Online
Based anywhere in the world and preparing for IGCSE Chemistry. Online lessons via Zoom, fully aligned with your Cambridge syllabus and exam series. Turkish or English — your choice.
🎯
A* & Grade 9 Chasers
You're already performing well but want to push from B to A or A to A*. The gap at the top is almost always about mark scheme language, command word precision, and Paper 6 efficiency — not knowledge gaps.
🔄
Resit Students
Sitting again in the October/November series. We diagnose exactly where marks were lost in your previous attempt and build a targeted plan — not a repeat of the same preparation.
🔗
A-Level Preparation
Planning to take A-Level Chemistry? A strong IGCSE foundation makes A-Level significantly easier. We deliberately build concepts that bridge into A-Level from the start.
📅
Summer & Catch-Up Students
Starting from behind or using the summer to get ahead. A structured 6–8 week programme covers the full syllabus with past paper practice and is achievable before the school year starts.
What's ıncluded

What Every Lesson Delivers

Every session is structured around the Cambridge mark scheme — not a textbook. Here's exactly what students receive.

📄
Past Papers from Lesson One
Real Cambridge past paper questions are used in every session. Students learn what the examiner rewards — not just what the concept is, but how to express it for maximum marks.
🎯
Mark Scheme Language
Cambridge mark schemes reward specific vocabulary. A correct answer in the wrong words scores zero. We train students to write answers the way Cambridge rewards them.
🔑
Command Word Mastery
"State", "explain", "suggest", "evaluate" — each requires a fundamentally different answer structure. Students who confuse these lose marks even when their chemistry knowledge is correct.
🔬
Paper 6 Practical Skills
Standard chemical tests, experimental design, graph work and error analysis — the most learnable 20% of the exam. Prepared students consistently score 85%+ on Paper 6.
📊
Syllabus-Tracked Progress
Every Cambridge learning objective is tracked. Students know exactly which topics are secure and which need work — no vague "revise more" advice.
🌐
Bilingual Support
Lessons delivered in English, Turkish, or both. Understanding a concept in your mother tongue first — then practising it in English — is a powerful approach for international students.
The process

How It Works — From First Contact to Exam Day

1

Free 40-Minute Diagnostic Lesson

We start with a no-obligation diagnostic session. Using past paper questions, we identify exactly where marks are being lost — chemistry gaps, command word errors, or mark scheme language. You leave with a clear picture of what needs to change.

2

Personalised Study Plan

Based on the diagnostic, we build a lesson plan aligned with your exam date, syllabus version (0620 or 0971), and target grade. High-yield topics are prioritised. The plan is specific — not a generic revision schedule.

3

Weekly 1-to-1 Lessons

Each session combines concept teaching with immediate past paper application. Every session ends with clear next steps. Session notes and resources are shared after each lesson.

4

Exam-Phase Intensive

In the final 4–6 weeks before the exam, sessions shift to full timed papers, mark scheme review, and target the remaining weak points. Students go into the exam knowing exactly what to expect.

Ready to start? The first lesson is free.

No commitment, no payment required for the trial lesson. Just send a WhatsApp message with your exam series and we'll arrange a time.

Questions Parents & Students Ask Before Booking

My child is already doing well — is tutoring still worth it?
Yes — the jump from A to A* is almost never about more knowledge. It's about mark scheme precision, command word fluency, and Paper 6 efficiency. Students who already understand the chemistry often gain the most from targeted exam technique work.
We're not based in Istanbul — can we still work together?
Absolutely. Online lessons via Zoom are available worldwide. The format is identical to in-person — screen sharing, digital whiteboard, past paper PDFs shared in real time. Students from Europe, the Middle East and beyond attend regularly.
How many lessons does a student typically need?
It depends on the starting point and exam date. Students with 6+ months typically do weekly sessions throughout. Those with 8–12 weeks until the exam often benefit from 2 sessions per week. The diagnostic lesson gives a much clearer picture of what's needed.
My son/daughter finds chemistry very difficult — is this still suitable?
Yes. The diagnostic session is designed precisely to identify where the breakdown is happening — whether it's foundational gaps, exam technique, or confidence. Lessons are paced to the student, not to a fixed curriculum timeline.
What's the lesson format — how long, how often?
Each session is 2 × 40 minutes (80 minutes total). Most students attend weekly; intensive programmes run at 2–3 sessions per week closer to the exam. Evening and weekend slots are available.
Is the free trial lesson really free — no strings attached?
Yes, completely. The 40-minute diagnostic is free with no obligation to continue. Many families use it simply to get a clear diagnosis of where the student stands. If it's a good fit for both sides, we arrange a regular schedule from there.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover both 0620 and 0971?

Yes. Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 (international) and 0971 (UK) use identical syllabus content and past papers. The only difference is how grades are reported. Lessons are fully aligned with both codes.

Can lessons be conducted in Turkish?

Yes. Lessons can be delivered in English, Turkish, or a mix of both. For Turkish students, explaining concepts in Turkish first and then practising exam answers in English is often the most effective approach — especially for abstract topics like bonding and equilibrium.

What platform do you use for online lessons?

Zoom or Google Meet — whichever the family prefers. Screen sharing, a digital whiteboard, and shared PDF past papers are used throughout. Sessions are recorded on request for the student to review.

How do I book the free trial lesson?

Send a WhatsApp message to +90 505 783 24 34 with your child's exam series (May/June or Oct/Nov), year group, and preferred lesson language. We'll arrange a time within 24–48 hours.

Do you also offer A-Level Chemistry tuition?

Yes. A-Level Chemistry (Cambridge International AS & A Level, 9701) tuition is available for students progressing from IGCSE. Many students continue from IGCSE into A-Level with the same tutor, which provides significant continuity.
