These ongoing classes are for high school chemistry (beginners) students and students following GCSE / IGCSE chemistry program (or similar curricula, for example, IB MYP chemistry). Every lesson we will cover a short topic from the high school/GCSE chemistry syllabus, and I will explain how to solve typical exam-style questions. Every lesson is accompanied by a workbook that the students (if they wish) can either print out or upload to a tablet. We will fill it in at the lesson, so that after every class students will have well-structured revision notes with important worked examples of exam-style questions. 

All classes in this ongoing series have been developed in such a way that the students can take any class without attending the previous classes. 

The lessons topics are listed below. Please note that weekly topics may be subject to a change. I will try to adjust the level of the materials taught to the current students' level in each section.
