​

The Canterbury Revision School’s A-Level Chemistry courses are exam board specific.

​

​

Courses are tailored as a result of our detailed analysis of individual student’s requirements before the course. This ensures that our tutors design a bespoke programme and cover relevant content, examination questions and techniques during the course.

​

​

Students can enrol for a one day course or two one day courses which focus on the following key components:

One day: Physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry
