How chemistry tutoring works in Newcastle

  1. We match you with a tutor who knows HSC Chemistry. You keep the same tutor, at the same time, every week, all the way to your exams.

  2. Your tutor sets goals around your class and your assessments, then reviews your progress and adjusts the program as you go.

  3. Weekly lessons after school or on weekends, planned around your assessment tasks, the depth study, trials and the HSC exam.

  4. 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.”

“My son’s grades have gone up 30% since starting with Tutero 6 months ago. As he is shy in class, having 1:1 tutoring has helped him clarify a lot of core concepts and now he is much better equipped for HSC.”

HSC Chemistry in Newcastle: a student and parent guide

How HSC Chemistry is assessed, and what the 2028 syllabus change means for you.

Get matched with a chemistry tutor
Chapter 01

Why Year 11 decides Year 12

The mole and concentration from Module 2 return in equilibrium, titrations and Module 8 analysis, so the first two terms of Year 11 matter more than they look.

Chapter 02

School assessment and the depth study

Half your HSC mark comes from Year 12 school assessment, which includes a depth study. Year 11 has its own depth study too.

Chapter 03

The 3-hour HSC paper

The HSC exam is a 3-hour written paper. Longer questions reward a clear chain: equation, mole ratio, calculation and a direct answer.

Chapter 04

Which syllabus are you on?

A new syllabus starts with Year 11 in 2028 (first HSC in 2029). Year 11 students in 2026 or 2027 stay on Modules 1 to 8.

Questions about chemistry tutoring in Newcastle

From A$65 an hour, the same rate for Year 10 science as for HSC Chemistry. There’s no contract or sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson.

Yes. We match you with a tutor who knows HSC Chemistry, so lessons follow your school’s modules, assessment tasks and depth study, and build towards trials and the HSC exam.

Half. Your HSC mark combines your Year 12 school assessment mark and your HSC exam mark equally. The exam is a 3-hour written paper.

Yes. A new NESA syllabus starts with Year 11 in 2028, with the first HSC exam under it in 2029. If you are in Year 11 in 2026 or 2027, you finish on the current Modules 1 to 8.

What Newcastle students learn in chemistry at every year level, and how a chemistry tutor helps.

Get matched with a chemistry tutor

Years 9 and 10 science

In Stage 5 science, chemistry covers atomic structure, the periodic table and chemical reactions. Year 11 Chemistry starts from there and moves to the mole within the first two modules.

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: Na + Cl2 → NaCl

Answer2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

How a tutor helps

Makes formulas and balancing automatic before Year 11, so Module 2 can focus on the mole.

Based on the NSW Science K to 10 Syllabus, Stage 5.

Year 11: Modules 1 to 4

Year 11 covers the structure of matter, quantitative chemistry, reactive chemistry and the drivers of reactions. The mole and concentration in Module 2 are used in every module after it.

Module 1

  • Properties of matter
  • Atomic structure
  • Periodicity
  • Bonding

Module 2

  • Stoichiometry
  • The mole
  • Concentration and molarity
  • Gas laws

Module 3

  • Types of reactions
  • Reactivity of metals
  • Rates of reaction

Module 4

  • Energy changes
  • Enthalpy and Hess's law
  • Entropy
Worked example

How many moles are in 4.4 g of CO2? (M = 44.01 g mol−1)

Answer0.10 mol

How a tutor helps

Builds the quantitative skills from Module 2 first, because equilibrium and titration in Year 12 depend on them.

Based on the NESA Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus (2017), Year 11 modules.

Year 12: Modules 5 to 8

Year 12 moves from equilibrium and acid and base reactions to organic chemistry and the analysis of unknown substances. Half your HSC mark is Year 12 school assessment and half is the 3-hour exam.

Module 5

  • Static and dynamic equilibrium
  • Le Chatelier's principle
  • Equilibrium constants
  • Solubility equilibria

Module 6

  • Properties of acids and bases
  • Bronsted-Lowry theory
  • pH calculations
  • Titrations

Module 7

  • Naming organic compounds
  • Hydrocarbons
  • Alcohols
  • Organic acids and bases
  • Polymers

Module 8

  • Analysis of inorganic substances
  • Analysis of organic substances
  • Chemical synthesis and design
Worked example

Write the equilibrium expression for N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3

AnswerK = [NH3]2 ÷ ([N2][H2]3)

How a tutor helps

Practises the longer 7 to 9 mark questions, where a clear chain of reasoning earns the marks, ahead of trials.

Based on the NESA Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus (2017), Year 12 modules.
