    How UKChO mentoring works

    1. Step 1

      Free trial & level check

      Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Chemistry mentor works through UKChO problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.

    2. Step 2

      Your personal plan

      We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, paced to your exam date.

    3. Step 3

      Live 1-to-1 classes

      Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.

    4. Step 4

      Progress updates

      Parents get regular updates on accuracy, pace and readiness. If the mentor fit isn't right, we rematch at no cost.
