Dalton Chemistry Tuition

Revision Course Easter 2024

Course Description

Our approach to the chemistry course sets it apart from those intensive 3-day, 8-hour courses. We’ve intelligently spread the curriculum over 7 days and into shorter more manageable sessions, spanning the 2-week Easter break. This format provides time for daily reflection and practice, acknowledging that students have multiple subjects to tackle during this period. Led by Chris Dalton, an experienced tutor and examiner, our course ensures top-tier support. Throughout the program, Year 12 and Year 13 students recap their academic year’s content, refreshing their knowledge and addressing weak points. They also hone their exam techniques, building the confidence and skills required for exam success. Collaborating with fellow students offers a reassuring atmosphere and fosters clarity through peer discussions. Our course is more than just knowledge; it’s about boosting confidence, motivation, and reducing exam-related anxiety. Our Easter crash courses elevate revision to a new level, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel in their upcoming summer exams. 

Structure of the Day

11:30am – 3:30pm  OR  3:45pm – 8:00pm
