VCE Chemistry Tutoring in Melbourne

Think Chemistry's an insurmountable hurdle? You're not the only one

Chemistry is one of the hardest VCE subjects available to students. Every year, it leaves hopeful Year 11 and 12 students feeling confused, anxious, and defeated. Worse, the teaching provided in schools is often insufficient to meet such challenges, forcing students to tackle it without proper guidance. Even the best teachers can sometimes fail to fully breakdown certain chemistry concepts and neglect showing students how to efficiently approach even the most common question types.
This is where we come in. If VCE Chemistry is like a journey from A to B, our job as your tutor is to make that journey as clear and as easy as possible. 

Looking to learn how to supercharge your Chemistry study? Let us help you make your VCE dreams a reality!

DIRECTOR OF CHEMISTRY - ARTIN EDUCATION

Message from Charles Kuang

Hi there,

I'm Charles. Having graduated with an ATAR of 99.95 and a raw 50 study score in Chemistry, I want to pass on my knowledge and experiences so that you too can realise your VCE Chemistry goals. It doesn't matter if you're a student who wants to excel, or if you're struggling to get by - it is my passion to help you achieve your full potential.

As a part of Artin Group, we specialise in only having a fixed tutor for each class. I am the sole Chemistry teacher, tutor, question-maker and feedback-provider and your group classes will always be run by me. I am committed to helping you navigate the arduous journey of VCE Chemistry.

Although Chemistry is difficult, it is not impossible. Personally, I believe that I achieved a raw 50 not through natural talent alone, but more so thanks to the right hard work in the right places. After spending many hours building upon my knowledge and refining my approach to questions through repetition and practice, I developed the tools necessary to thrive in VCE Chemistry. Tools that I will hope to provide you throughout your VCE journey.

I look forward to working with you all,

Charles Kuang

Achieve your goals

How does Artin help students excel in VCE Chemistry?

Confidence is one of the most important elements to success in Chemistry. Having the comfort of knowing the content and questions inside and out gives you the freedom to tackle the questions head on, without inhibitions or hesitation.

So how is our chemistry tutoring program going to get you to this level of confidence?

1. Understanding

First, we're going to do away with rote memorisation and instead replace it with a strong understanding of VCE Chemistry. By using original, intuitive examples to breakdown complex topics, we will turn the theory from a meaningless string of words into something tangible that you can visualise and apply endlessly, saving you from hours upon hours of revision. 

For instance, Equilibrium is a topic students find particularly challenging due to the complex nature of the content. Specifically, students often find questions requiring the application of Le Chatelier's difficult. However, if we simplify it to a tank of water separated into two halves, it becomes exponentially easier to make use of.

2. Optimisation

Secondly, we're going to optimise question completion through pattern recognition and targeted practice. While most students may view each question in Chemistry as its own problem, it is astonishing how easily answers can be standardised across many seemingly different questions.

Thanks to my strength in English, I have developed simple, re-useable structures that ensure your answers are tailored to the requirements of the question, over a wide range of topics.

Furthermore, for mathematical and practical questions, I have devised systematic, yet simple processes that you can follow to answer even the most challenging questions quickly and efficiently.

3. Exam Prep

Finally, we're going to hone your exam techniques. The final VCAA Chemistry exam is a beast - it is 120 marks and goes over a whole 2.5 hours of writing time. If unprepared, it will show you no mercy. However, we're going to target exam questions from day one, so that by the time you step foot into your final exam, you're going to know exactly what to expect, and exactly what you're going to have to do to achieve success.
