Is this programme right for me?

Use these signals to check whether this is the right next step or whether another route would be more useful.

A good fit if

  • Students beginning IGCSE Chemistry or rebuilding the first half of the 0620 syllabus
  • Core and Extended learners who need calculations, explanations and practical evidence taught together

A short diagnostic can confirm the most suitable starting point before enrolment.

Why this programme exists

IGCSE Chemistry becomes fragile when formulae, moles, bonding and observations are learned as separate routines. Chemistry I connects them in a deliberate sequence, then makes the additional Supplement depth visible for Extended candidates without weakening the Core foundation.

Expected change

  • Explain macroscopic observations using particle, atomic and bonding models.
  • Write and interpret formulae, symbol equations and ionic equations with correct chemical reasoning.
  • Solve mole, concentration, gas-volume and reacting-mass problems with units and sensible working.
  • Connect redox, electrolysis, energy changes, rates and equilibrium to experimental evidence.
  • Plan measurements, process data and evaluate limitations in the style required across Papers 1–6.
  • Distinguish Core requirements from the additional depth expected on the Extended route.

Entry check

  • Can complete basic arithmetic and rearrange a simple equation
  • Can read axes and values from a graph
  • Is beginning 0620 or needs a systematic rebuild of its foundations
  • Confirms the intended Core or Extended examination route
How the programme adapts

Diagnose. Understand. Apply. Track.

Each cycle uses new evidence to decide what the student should work on next.

  1. Diagnose

    Identify the immediate gap or recurring error.

    Example in this programmeCan complete basic arithmetic and rearrange a simple equation
  2. Understand

    Build the chemical explanation behind the topic.

    Example in this programmeFrom an observation to a particle explanation
  3. Apply

    Use the understanding in IB-style work.

    Example in this programmeExplain macroscopic observations using particle, atomic and bonding models.
  4. Track

    Record progress and define the next priority.

    Example in this programmeSubmitted work is normally returned within three working days.

A concrete teaching example

Incomplete response

From an observation to a particle explanation

The reaction is faster because the temperature is higher.

Developed response or feedback

At higher temperature, particles have greater kinetic energy. Collisions occur more frequently and a larger fraction have enough energy to react, so the frequency of successful collisions increases.

Reasoning chain: observation → particle model → collision evidence → conclusion

  7. Week 7 · Energy transfers, reaction profiles and bond-energy reasoning
  8. Week 8 · Rates, collision reasoning, catalysts and reversible reactions
  9. Week 9 · Acids, bases, titration reasoning, salt preparation and solubility
  10. Week 10 · Integrated practical planning, data analysis and Core/Extended paper strategy

Practice, feedback and parent visibility

Submitted work is normally returned within three working days. Feedback marks the point at which the reasoning broke down and turns recurring errors into later practice.

The student receives

  • Focused assignments between live lessons
  • Human feedback linked to the first broken reasoning step
  • A clear next practice priority in the learning space

A parent can see

  • Attendance and completion patterns
  • Recurring error areas and current priorities
  • A concise progress summary at agreed checkpoints

Workload and attendance

Allow about 3 hours each week for retrieval, calculations, practical-data work and corrections.

When an enrolled student gives notice that they will miss a class, a private catch-up video is offered with the materials and catch-up priority. This is either the lesson recording where consent and format allow, or a tutor-recorded recap. A missed group lesson is not automatically replaced one-to-one.

Questions about this programme

Does Chemistry I support both Core and Extended?

Yes. Shared Core foundations are taught securely, while every additional Extended expectation is identified explicitly so students practise at the correct depth.

Does this replace school practical work?

No. The course develops planning, observation, data and evaluation skills, but supervised laboratory work and official examination entry remain the responsibility of the student's school or examination centre.
