Subject tutoring
Chemistry tutor in Bali: IGCSE, IB, A-Level and secondary
Chemistry tutoring for secondary and sixth form: organic, inorganic and physical chemistry with past-paper practice, at your home or villa, or online.
What chemistry tutoring covers
Chemistry defeats students in a particular way: it is three subjects wearing one coat. Organic chemistry rewards pattern recognition — functional groups, pathways, mechanisms drawn, not merely described. Inorganic rewards organised memory of trends, bonding and factual grounding. Physical chemistry rewards confident mathematics: moles, concentrations, yields and the arithmetic that underpins them.
A student can be strong in one strand and lost in another. Tutoring that treats chemistry as one undifferentiated subject misses the point. We cover stoichiometry, bonding, energetics, organic mechanisms and exam technique — command terms, timing and showing working on calculation questions — to the syllabus your school enters.
- The mole and chemical calculations: quantities, concentrations and yields.
- Organic chemistry: functional groups and mechanisms as connected patterns.
- Inorganic chemistry: periodic trends, bonding and the facts everything else assumes.
- IB internal assessment: criteria, research question and draft review within IB rules.
- Exam technique: command terms, timing and disciplined working.
How chemistry sessions run
A typical hour pairs fact and calculation deliberately. It opens with recall questions, then one idea taught properly: concept, worked example, then your child attempting questions while the tutor watches the method. In calculation topics, working is shown always. In organic topics, mechanisms are drawn on paper or a shared whiteboard — never left as a verbal summary.
Between sessions, homework is short and marked. Chemistry is unforgiving of vague revision, so practice stays specific and feedback immediate. Where a deeper maths gap is the real cause of weak physical chemistry, we say so and can plan maths support alongside.
Who chemistry tutoring suits
Year 9 students meeting moles for the first time; IGCSE students balancing equations under time pressure; IB or A-Level students holding chemistry together for medicine, engineering or science applications. It especially suits the “good at chemistry except the calculations” brief — usually a small set of mathematical ideas that need practising inside chemistry contexts until they are routine.
For mid-year arrivals, the first job is a gap map against the new syllabus. Most chemistry students in Bali sit Cambridge or IB papers in May, June or November; preparation works backwards from that date.
Syllabi we cover

| A-Level | Physical, inorganic and organic chemistry to the student’s exam board, with timed marked papers |
| Lower secondary | The chemistry strand inside combined or coordinated science |

Frequently asked questions
Do you tutor IB Chemistry at Higher Level?
Subject to current tutor availability. HL briefs go to tutors with specific Diploma experience, including additional HL material and IA criteria.
My child is good at chemistry except the calculations. Can you fix that?
Calculation confidence is one of the most common chemistry briefs. It usually means revisiting a small set of mathematical ideas inside chemistry contexts, then practising until routine.
Can a tutor help with the IB chemistry internal assessment?
Within IB rules: criteria, research question and draft review. The investigation and writing must be your child’s own.
Can sessions be online?
Chemistry works well online with a shared whiteboard for equations and mechanisms, billed at 10 percent below the in-person rate.
Do you tutor organic chemistry separately from physical chemistry?
Where the syllabus separates topics, sessions can focus on the strand holding your child back — mechanisms one week, stoichiometry the next — while still mapping to the full paper list.
What if the tutor is not the right fit?
Tell us. We change the plan or the tutor. If the first session is not right, tell us within 48 hours and we refund that session in full — refund policy.
What does chemistry tutoring cost?
School students sit on Standard IDR 500,000 per hour; specialist briefs may sit at Master (IDR 1,000,000), confirmed in writing before the first session. Full tiers: pricing guide.
