Find a chemistry tutor in South Petherton

Neither subject is objectively harder; they simply require different skill sets.

• Chemistry requires you to learn vast amounts of new content beyond GCSE. Around 20–30% of marks come from mathematical calculations.
• Maths requires applying theorems and proofs to unfamiliar problems. Once you grasp a concept, you can apply it across many problems.
