We Can make the difference
NimaI went from 43% in first year to receiving a masters offer at the LSE! Having almost failed my first year I decided to get tutoring from The Profs in my second year. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the tutors I managed to score a 1st in my second year and receive an offer for the LSE Masters in Management. A big thank you to The Profs.

University Chemistry Tutors: Frequently Asked Questions
How are The Profs' undergraduate Chemistry tutors selected and vetted?
The Profs operates one of the most demanding selection processes for undergraduate Chemistry tutoring in the UK — only 3% of applicants are accepted. Every undergraduate Chemistry tutor meets the following standards before being matched with a student:
- All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates (PhD) in Chemistry or closely related science disciplines
- Every tutor has a minimum of two years' teaching experience, with the average well over 10 years of professional and teaching experience, often across undergraduate education, A-level and GCSE tutoring
- All tutors undergo identity verification, enhanced DBS check and KYC checks
- Many tutors are current or former university lecturers, senior lecturers, examiners or practising chemists in industry and research
- Each Chemistry tutor is vetted specifically against undergraduate syllabuses, laboratory skills, quantitative analysis and the assessment formats used by UK universities, including practical exams and lab report marking
What subject and professional experience do The Profs' undergraduate Chemistry tutors bring?
Undergraduate Chemistry tuition demands subject depth and applied science and STEM experience. The Profs' tutors bring a blend of academic, research and teaching strengths:
- Deep knowledge of core Chemistry topics - physical, organic, inorganic, analytical and biochemistry - at undergraduate degree level
- Hands-on research experience, PhD supervision, published work or industrial chemistry experience that informs practical examples and lab technique coaching
- Familiarity with university assessment - lab reports, practical exams, MCQs and long-form exam papers - and with marking criteria used across Russell Group and other universities
- A structured teaching approach that develops mathematical and statistical skills where required, building problem-solving ability rather than rote recall
- Adaptation to each student’s learning style, whether the focus is on module resits, first-year transition, or achieving a First-class degree
How much progress can an undergraduate Chemistry student make with The Profs?
The Profs records strong outcomes for university-level students. Historically, 93% of undergraduate students report an improvement in grade after tuition with The Profs. Tutors structure progress with a focus on:
- Rapid identification of gaps in chemical knowledge and practical skills
- Step-by-step building of subject knowledge to align with module learning outcomes and assessment criteria
- Development of exam technique, answer structuring and time management for written and practical tests
- Ongoing development of independent study skills so improvements are sustained across the academic year
* Based on The Profs Client Feedback Survey 2025

What is the process to start undergraduate Chemistry tuition online?
Starting with The Profs is designed to be fast and student-focused. Most university students begin lessons within one to two working days of their initial consultation. The process is:
- Complete a short contact form with course, university, year, module and objectives - or call our team on +44 208 004 7639
- Attend a free consultation with an education consultant to capture module specifications, problem areas, timetable and budget
- Our smart-match algorithm and Client Success Team generate and review a shortlist of the best-fit undergraduate Chemistry tutors
- Half-hour introductory call between student and proposed tutor to confirm fit (this is not a free lesson)
- A one-off placement fee of £70 is invoiced only when you approve the match; lessons typically start within 1–2 working days
- Progress reviews are regular, and sessions or tutor can be adjusted as study needs evolve
Are undergraduate Chemistry lessons delivered online?
Yes. All of The Profs' undergraduate Chemistry tuition is delivered online to maximise flexibility around lectures, lab timetables and revision schedules. Online lessons include:
- Live video calls (videotelephony) with an interactive shared whiteboard (e.g. BitPaper) for working through equations, mechanisms and spectra in real time
- Screen sharing to review past papers, lab reports, data analysis and MATLAB or chemistry-focused software where required
- Session recording so students can revisit explanations and worked examples when revising independently
- Integrated support channels - tutors provide follow-up resources and can answer quick clarifying questions between lessons
In 2024–25, 96% of The Profs' online learners reported that their tutor improved both their confidence and their grades.

Pricing is transparent and tailored to experience and student requirements. For university Chemistry tuition:
- Online undergraduate Chemistry tuition starts from £75 per hour
- A one-off £70 placement fee applies once you approve a tutor match
- Tutor rates vary depending on experience, PhD status, specialist lab or research skills and the specific support required

Are there discounts or flexible payment options for undergraduate Chemistry tuition?
Yes. The Profs offers several ways to reduce the cost of undergraduate Chemistry tuition:
- Prepaid lesson packages carry a discount on the standard hourly rate
- Block bookings for a term or exam preparation period provide additional savings
- Group tuition is available online for students who can share sessions, with savings of up to 50% compared to individual rates
- Our education consultants will advise on the most cost-effective package given your year, course and degree ambitions
How does undergraduate Chemistry tutoring prepare students for postgraduate study or professional routes?
University-level tutoring with The Profs goes beyond short-term exam preparation to build capabilities that matter for postgraduate study and careers in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materials and engineering:
- Strengthening core subject knowledge so students move from a 2:1 to a First, or prepare for MSc and PhD admissions
- Developing lab technique, data analysis, statistics and scientific writing skills required for dissertations and research projects
- Support for admissions processes, research proposals and interview preparation for competitive programmes including Oxbridge and Russell Group universities
- Longer-term tuition supports transition from undergraduate study into specialised fields such as medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and professional roles in industry
Why do undergraduate Chemistry students continue with The Profs beyond a single module?
Continuity matters. Over 90% of The Profs' students rebook the following term because:
- Tutors adapt as the student’s degree progresses - from first-year module consolidation to final-year dissertation supervision
- Ongoing relationships reduce onboarding time each term because tutors already understand the student’s strengths and gaps
- The Profs supports progression across related subjects - mathematics, statistics, physics and laboratory-focused modules
- Consistent support increases the likelihood of achieving top outcomes and successful postgraduate or career moves
The Profs supports students studying for undergraduate Chemistry degrees and those progressing from school-level qualifications. Tutors commonly work with students from or applying to:
- University of Oxford and University of Cambridge
- Imperial College London, University College London (UCL), King’s College London
- University of Manchester, University of Bristol, University of Edinburgh, Durham University, University of Leeds
- Russell Group and other UK universities offering BSc and MSci Chemistry and related degrees
We also support students moving from A-Level and equivalent qualifications (including GCSE and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education). Our tutors have experience with major examination and awarding bodies such as AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC, and with UCAS and university admissions requirements. For professional recognition, many tutors are experienced with Royal Society of Chemistry guidance and expectations for undergraduate chemistry education.
