How chemistry tutoring works in Sydney

  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 Sydney: a student and parent guide

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

Chapter 01

Choosing HSC Chemistry

Year 11 covers Modules 1 to 4 and Year 12 Modules 5 to 8. Some university courses list chemistry as assumed knowledge, so check UAC before choosing Year 11 subjects.

Chapter 02

From Stage 5 science to Module 2

Module 2 adds the mole, concentration and gas laws, and Year 12 equilibrium and titrations are built on them. A gap in Year 11 shows up in every Year 12 module.

Chapter 03

How HSC Chemistry is assessed

Half your HSC mark is Year 12 school assessment, which includes a depth study, and half is the 3-hour exam.

A new syllabus from 2028

The new syllabus starts with Year 11 in 2028, with its first HSC exam in 2029. Students in Year 11 in 2026 or 2027 stay on Modules 1 to 8.

Questions about chemistry tutoring in Sydney

From A$65 an hour, the same rate for Year 10 science as for Year 12 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, depth study and trial exams.

Yes. NESA’s new Chemistry 11 to 12 syllabus starts with Year 11 in 2028, and the first HSC exam under it is in 2029. Students in Year 11 in 2026 or 2027 finish on the current syllabus, Modules 1 to 8.

Yes. A tutor can help you plan the question, process your data and write up your findings, while the investigation and the final report stay your own work.

Chemistry in NSW schools, year by year

What Sydney 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: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

AnswerCH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

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

What is the mass of 0.250 mol of NaCl? (M = 58.44 g mol−1)

Answer14.6 g

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 covers equilibrium, acid and base reactions, organic chemistry and applying chemical ideas, including 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

What is the pH of 0.010 mol L−1 HCl?

AnswerpH = 2.0

How a tutor helps

Works through past HSC questions module by module, then full papers under exam timing before trials.

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