About Course

This course comprehensively covers the entire CSEC Chemistry syllabus and is available both online and in person.

We teach chemical concepts through inquiry-based strategies, and our lessons stimulate the student’s curiosity and facilitate critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This helps students view chemistry as a dynamic and exciting investigative process.

The content of the course covers the general and specific objectives of the syllabus, including the School-Based Assessment (SBA) experiments/practical activities.

Students have access to live sessions with an expert tutor, video-recorded lessons, fun activities, past-paper questions, PowerPoint presentations, weekly quizzes, free webinars, and more.
