IGCSE Chemistry – Term 3 (2025)

Course Overview

This course covers content for both Edexcel and CAIE (Cambridge) IGCSE specifications. It is a two-year course and does not require any prior knowledge. However, if KS3 Chemistry has not been covered, it can be challenging, especially in the first term.

Course Method

Class notes (covering both Edexcel and CAIE) are distributed in advance and are filled in during the class.

Homework is set from the current Edexcel IGCSE student book which must be purchased in advance (ISBN 9780435185169). Homework is self-marked and any arising problems can be discussed either in the lesson or at the free, optional, weekly Drop-in Workshop. Homework also includes optional practical assignments. Tests compiled from past exam papers are set on completion of each topic and are marked by the teacher.

Lessons are friendly, interactive, and focus on thinking skills. Videos of relevant practical experiments are watched and discussed during the class. A video recording is made of each lesson (with only the teacher visible) and upon request it can be made temporarily available to a student who missed the lesson.
