Hi, I'm Kofi

I teach for deep understanding, not rote memorisation. If a topic isn't making sense, we work out why each step works, go through worked examples, then you recall it and try exam questions, checked against the mark scheme.

I got A*A*A*A* at A-level, including Chemistry, so I know these exams from the inside. I remember balancing mocks, predicted grades and university applications at the same time.

I have 5 years of tutoring experience and have taught 100+ students across subjects.

  • A*A*A*A*at A-level, including Chemistry
  • 9s and 8sat GCSE: five grade 9s, five grade 8s and an A* in Further Maths
  • 4 boardsAQA, OCR A, OCR B (Salters) and Edexcel
  • 5 yearsof tutoring experience, 100+ students across subjects

Free: three A-level Chemistry cheat sheets

Yours to keep, whether or not you book. Tell me where to send them and they'll arrive in a few minutes.

Preview of cheat sheet 1, Moles and calculations: a one-page A4 sheet of formulas with units

Three one-page PDFs: the moles and calculation formulas with units, an organic reaction map with reagents and conditions, and the required practicals for each board side by side. Suitable for AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards. Free to share.

You'll get the sheets whether or not you tick the box. I use your details only as my privacy policy explains, and never share them.

What we can work on

  • AQA 7405
  • OCR A H432
  • OCR B (Salters) H433
  • Edexcel 9CH0
Moles triangle: m on top, n and Mr below, so n = m ÷ Mr. Worked example: 9.0 g of water, Mr 18.0, is 0.50 mol.

Calculations and physical chemistry

Moles, equilibria, pH, rates and energy changes.

Curly-arrow mechanism: a lone pair on the hydroxide ion attacks the δ+ carbon of bromoethane and the C–Br bond breaks, giving ethanol and a bromide ion.

Organic chemistry

Curly-arrow mechanisms and synthesis routes.

Proton NMR spectrum of ethanol: a CH2 quartet near 3.7 ppm, an OH singlet near 2.5 ppm and a CH3 triplet near 1.2 ppm.

Inorganic chemistry and spectroscopy

Transition metals, plus NMR, IR and mass spectra.

Titration set-up: a burette in a clamp stand over a conical flask on a white tile. Read the bottom of the meniscus to the nearest 0.05 cm³ and add dropwise near the end point.

Practicals and exam technique

Practical skills, six-mark answers and past papers.
