Description

In this course, you will learn Chemistry, and prepare yourself for Chemistry exams like GCSE Chemistry, iGCSE Chemistry or middle school (Grades 9- 10) Chemistry.Hello, I'm RL, and I have many years of experience preparing students for the O Levels and the CAIE iGCSE Chemistry exams, and have written this course for anyone who is interested in Chemistry, or to sit for these exams. In this course,  I'll share with you how I'll approach this subject if I were to take it today. I've written this course based on many years of experience teaching students Chemistry, and preparing them for the iGCSE Chemistry exams.This course is written based on the latest iGCSE Chemistry syllabus, but there are various overlaps with other exam board. I start off by explaining the concepts, and then go on to show you how you can apply what you have learned to questions.The iGCSE Chemistry has 12 topic areas, and I'll base this course on the syllabus:- states of matter- atoms, elements and compounds- stoichiometry- electrochemistry- chemical energetics- chemical reactions- acids, bases and salts- The Periodic Table- Metals- Chemistry of the environment- Organic Chemistry- Experimental techniques and chemical analysisIn this course, I will cover all these 12 topic areas (including both core and supplement). Whether you are taking the Core papers or the Supplement Papers,  this course is for you. You will also find questions which we'll be going through, to help you reinforce what you have learned.If you are looking for a course that will help you or your child prepare for the iGCSE Chemistry exam from Cambridge, then this course is the one for you. Get familiar with the concepts, and know the ins and outs on how to approach the questions to score!Many of my students have tried these methods and have helped them do well for their exams. Check this course out!
