Chemistry is taught in English schools either as part of a science class with physics and biology or as an independent subject. From primary school to the end of secondary school and GCSE, science and chemistry are compulsory subjects. This means that every student in Sheffield will study the subject and have the option to continue studying it beyond GCSE and onto A Level and university if they so wish.
But why should they?
Chemistry is the science that studies matter. Since everything is made of matter, in terms of subjects taught in school, there are few with such a broad appeal.
While biology and physics are certainly interesting, too, they can't boast the raw pizzazz that chemistry with its reactions and explosive experiments can offer. For many students, chemistry lessons are among their favourites as the subject often focuses on teaching students by offering them a hands-on experience of the subject matter.
If you are interested in chemistry and a career in it, you'll probably want to study it at least to a degree level. To get onto a chemistry degree, you'll need good GCSE results and A Levels ranging from BCC to AAA, depending on the university that you're looking to study at. The most common entry requirements are AAB.
You should study chemistry at A Level, but it also helps to study physics, biology, and maths. Mathematics is such a big part of chemistry that even if you don't have an A Level in maths, it's recommended that you have decent maths skills. Most university courses will help you with maths skills, though.
Chemistry is also an excellent subject for anyone interested in a career in science. Most of those who study chemistry at university either find work or go on to study further. Once qualified, those with a chemistry degree have a lot of options.
Chemistry graduates often go on to become chemists, lab technicians, environmental scientists, or work in pharmacology, chemical engineering, or biochemistry, which combines the fields of chemistry and biology and can be taken as a degree or as a specialisation for chemistry students.
Even if you don't use your chemistry experience to work in science, there are a lot of transferrable skills that you'll learn while working on your degree. In addition to the aforementioned maths skills, you can learn more about working in teams, analysing data, solving problems, and improve your English skills, as you'll have quite a bit of writing to do.
Chemistry, while certainly a useful subject, isn't necessarily an easy one and students at every level can benefit from the help of a private tutor. Whether they're struggling in primary school science, studying for their chemistry GCSE or A Level, or having a hard time working on their university dissertation, private tutors can help.
For younger students, a private tutor can help make the learning process more engaging. In both primary and secondary schools, teachers tend to have too many students and neither the time nor the resources to help each student as much as they should. Since a private tutor tends to work with small groups or individuals, they can focus on the student and ensure they get the type of tuition they deserve.
You can find tutors that teach science, chemistry, physics, and biology or tutors that can help younger learners with their education in general. In a lot of cases, you'll see a student's level improve with tutoring that's tailored to them as this is one of the most common reasons that students struggle.
Gifted students can also benefit from the help of private tutors. The could help them study for an upcoming exam to ensure they get the very best results.
If you're looking for science or chemistry tutors based in Sheffield, you can search for them on the Superprof website. When you view a tutor's profile, you can see what experience they have, the subjects they're qualified in or teach, the type of teaching they offer, how much they charge, and how quickly they respond. There are different types of tutors out there and your learning experience will depend largely on the type of teaching they offer.
Face-to-face tuition is arguably the most effective as the learning experience is tailored to the student, what they want to learn, and how they like to learn. Tutors often adapt their classes and resources to each student and as they're the only student in the lessons, they can fully focus on them. As they put extra time into planning and adapting their lessons and travel to their student's homes, they tend to charge more than other tutors, but they also offer the most cost-effective type of tutoring.
If you can't find any available or suitable tutors based in Sheffield, you can always broaden your search to include online tuition. You can see whether a tutor offers this when you view their profile. Since they don't have to travel and can schedule more lessons each week as a result, online tutors are usually cheaper than face-to-face tutors.
Group tutoring is a great option for those on a budget as you can share the cost of the tutor's time, experience, and expertise. Of course, this means that the tuition won't be completely tailored to you, but if you and your classmates or colleagues would like to learn more about science or chemistry, this is an excellent idea.
Remember that a lot of tutors on the Superprof website offer the first lesson for free. Use these free lessons to try out various potential tutors before choosing the one that's right for you and your preferred learning style. You might be spending a lot of time with your tutor so make sure that you get on well with them and they're capable of teaching you in a way that brings results.
