Key Stage 3 Chemistry Tuition: KS3 Online Chemistry Support for
Years 7 to 9

Our KS3 chemistry tuition closely follows the National Curriculum, with additional support to clarify complex topics and help students build a solid foundation for future success. Lessons are designed to encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and application of knowledge.

1. The Particle Model of Matter

   Students begin by learning how particles behave in solids, liquids, and gases. They explore diffusion, changes of state, and how particle arrangements explain everyday phenomena. This model serves as the foundation for all further study in chemistry.

2. Atoms, Elements, and Compounds

   Students are introduced to the structure of atoms, the periodic table, and the concept of elements and compounds. They learn how atoms bond to form new substances and begin using chemical symbols and formulas with confidence.

3. Chemical Reactions

   Students explore a wide range of reactions, including combustion, neutralisation, oxidation, and displacement. Lessons focus on recognising patterns, writing word and symbol equations, and understanding the evidence for chemical change.

4. Acids and Alkalis

   Key concepts such as pH scale, indicators, and neutralisation reactions are covered in depth. Students learn to identify acidic and alkaline substances, understand their uses, and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios like antacid reactions or pollution control.

5. The Periodic Table

   Students explore the layout and logic behind the periodic table — learning about groups, periods, and trends. They begin to identify properties of metals and non-metals and make connections between atomic structure and chemical behaviour.

6. Separation Techniques

   This includes filtration, evaporation, distillation, and chromatography. Students learn how mixtures can be separated using physical processes and are introduced to practical applications such as water purification and food testing.

7. Energy Changes and Conservation

   Students examine how energy is transferred during chemical reactions. They learn about exothermic and endothermic reactions and begin to understand the law of conservation of mass through balanced equations and reaction models.

Chemistry can be intimidating at first — with its symbols, abstract models, and unfamiliar terminology. But with the right support, students can move from confusion to clarity. Our tutors at Jaya’s Academy are experienced in helping learners develop not only knowledge but also the confidence to tackle challenging material independently.

We offer structured, supportive teaching that’s designed to match each learner’s needs. Whether a student struggles with chemical formulas or simply needs help connecting theory with practical examples, we meet them where they are and help them grow.

With consistent feedback, revision tools, and an encouraging learning environment, we make chemistry both accessible and rewarding — setting the stage for a successful transition into Key Stage 4.

Whether your child needs help mastering the basics or is aiming to excel in science, Jaya’s Academy provides expert KS3 chemistry tuition — online or in person — tailored to support steady progress and long-term success.
