IGCSE Chemistry tutoring
IGCSE Chemistry decides a lot: A-Level and IB science choices and, for many students, a route towards medicine. Our tutors make the calculations automatic and the explanations precise, using the papers your child will actually sit.

How Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 is examined
Candidates take three components. Core: Paper 1, multiple choice (45 minutes, 40 marks, 30%) and Paper 3, theory (1 hour 15 minutes, 80 marks, 50%). Extended: Paper 2 and Paper 4 with the same timings and weightings at Extended level. Everyone also sits a practical component worth 20%, either Paper 5, the practical test (1 hour 15 minutes), or Paper 6, the Alternative to Practical (1 hour).
Where chemistry marks are lost
The usual suspects:
- ✓ Mole calculations and balancing equations
- ✓ Electrolysis: which ion is discharged and why
- ✓ Explanations that miss the key term the mark scheme rewards
- ✓ Tests for ions and gases mixed up
- ✓ Practical questions on method, safety and improvements
