Find a chemistry tutor in New Malden

A-level Chemistry and Maths challenge you in different ways, so "harder" depends on your strengths.

• Chemistry combines theory, calculations, and detailed factual recall. Around 20–30% of marks come from mathematical calculations.
• Maths builds on GCSE foundations with more advanced techniques. Calculus, algebra, and mechanics demand strong foundational skills.

Many students find Chemistry's volume of content harder to manage than Maths' abstract challenges.

Bottom line: your aptitude for detailed recall versus abstract thinking determines which feels harder.

The average price for a chemistry lesson in New Malden is around £29/h per hour.

The price can vary depending on several factors:
