Chemistry tutoring in Melbourne
Chemistry tutoring for students across Melbourne
From Glen Waverley and Doncaster to Point Cook and Berwick, Melbourne students keep the same chemistry tutor every week, planned around school SACs and the VCE exam period, which runs from late October into November.
- Lessons after school or on weekends
- Tutors who know the current VCE Chemistry Study Design
- Help with SACs, the Unit 4 poster and past exams
How chemistry tutoring works in Melbourne
We match you with a tutor who knows VCE Chemistry. You keep the same tutor, at the same time, every week, all the way to your exams.
Your tutor sets goals around your class and your assessments, then reviews your progress and adjusts the program as you go.
Weekly lessons after school or on weekends, planned around your SAC calendar, the Unit 4 investigation and the end-of-year exam.
After every lesson you and your parents get a written report: what was covered, how it went and what comes next.

“My daughter is Year 12 and was facing some challenges with her chemistry. I spoke to Bailey at Tutero and he did a comprehensive review of her needs and matched her with Imogen as her tutor.”
“I felt like my grades were poor for my standard in VCE Chemistry at the start of the year. I signed up with Tutero and was given a wonderful tutor. I observed a 39% rise in my grades after our sessions began.”

How VCE Chemistry is assessed, and where marks are most often lost between Year 10 and the exam.
Choosing VCE Chemistry
Some university courses list Chemistry Units 3 and 4 as a prerequisite, so check the VTAC website before Year 10 subject selection. Units 3 and 4 are taken as a sequence, and that is where the study score comes from.
The step from Year 10 science to Unit 1
Unit 1 assumes you can write formulas and balance equations, then adds the mole. Most early trouble is one gap, often ionic formulas or rearranging n = m ÷ M, and it is easier to fix in Year 11 than in Unit 3.
How Units 3 and 4 are assessed
The end-of-year exam is half the study score. Unit 4 includes a student-designed investigation, presented as a scientific poster of up to 600 words.
- Unit 3 SACs
- 20 per cent of the study score
- Unit 4 SACs
- 30 per cent, including the investigation poster
- End-of-year exam
- 50 per cent, two and a half hours
The maths inside chemistry
Rearranging n = m ÷ M and c = n ÷ V, mole ratios, scientific notation and significant figures decide many marks. Learn the VCE Data Book during the year, not in the last week.
Questions about chemistry tutoring in Melbourne
From A$65 an hour, the same rate for Year 10 science as for Units 3 and 4. There’s no contract or sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson.
Yes. We match you with a tutor who knows the current VCE Chemistry Study Design, so lessons follow your SACs, the Unit 4 student-designed investigation and the end-of-year exam.
Unit 3 SACs count for 20 per cent of the study score and Unit 4 SACs for 30 per cent. The two-and-a-half-hour exam counts for the other 50 per cent. The Unit 4 SACs include a scientific poster on an investigation you design yourself.
Many students start in Year 10 or early in Unit 1, before the mole and stoichiometry arrive. Others start in Unit 3, when SACs begin to count towards the study score.
Curriculum guide
Get matched with a chemistry tutorChemistry in Victorian schools, year by year
What Melbourne students learn in chemistry at every year level, and how a chemistry tutor helps.
Years 9 and 10 science
Chemistry sits inside Year 9 and 10 science in the Victorian Curriculum: atoms, the periodic table, equations and reaction types. It is the base VCE Chemistry Unit 1 assumes.
Year 9
- Protons, neutrons and electrons
- Isotopes
- Word and symbol equations
- Conservation of mass
- Acids, bases and neutralisation
Year 10
- Periodic table patterns
- How atoms form compounds
- Balancing equations
- Types of reactions
- What changes reaction rate
Worked example
Balance: Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2
AnswerMg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
How a tutor helps
Makes formulas and balancing automatic before Year 11, so Unit 1 can focus on the mole.
Based on the Victorian Curriculum Science Version 2.0, Levels 9 and 10.
VCE Units 1 and 2
Unit 1 asks how the diversity of materials can be explained; Unit 2 asks how chemical reactions shape the natural world. The mole arrives in Unit 1 and is used in every unit after it.
Unit 1
- Elements and the periodic table
- Covalent substances
- Metals and ionic compounds
- Quantifying atoms and compounds
- Families of organic compounds
- Polymers and society
Unit 2
- Water as a unique chemical
- Acid and base reactions
- Redox reactions
- Solubility and concentration
- Analysis of acids, bases and salts
- Measuring gases
Worked example
How many moles are in 9.0 g of water? (M = 18.0 g mol−1)
Answer0.50 mol
How a tutor helps
Drills n = m ÷ M until it is automatic, then builds concentration and gas calculations on top of it.
Based on the VCAA VCE Chemistry Study Design, Units 1 and 2 (2023 to 2027).
VCE Units 3 and 4
Unit 3 covers fuels, cells, reaction rates, equilibrium and electrolysis; Unit 4 covers organic compounds, their analysis and medicinal chemistry. SACs count for 50 per cent and the exam for 50 per cent.
Unit 3
- Carbon-based fuels
- Measuring energy change
- Galvanic and fuel cells
- Rates of reaction
- Equilibrium and Le Chatelier
- Electrolysis and rechargeable cells
Unit 4
- Organic structure and naming
- Organic reactions
- Laboratory analysis
- Instrumental analysis
- Medicinal chemistry
- Student-designed investigation
Worked example
Burning 1 mol of methane releases 890 kJ. How much energy comes from 8.00 g of methane? (M = 16.0 g mol−1)
Answer445 kJ
How a tutor helps
Plans each SAC weeks ahead, works through the Unit 4 investigation design, and practises full past exams with the VCE Data Book.
Based on the VCAA VCE Chemistry Study Design, Units 3 and 4 (2024 to 2027).
