For students who know the content but need help turning it into marks.
Why Chemistry can feel difficult
Knowledge has to work together
A-Level Chemistry is cumulative. Students need to connect earlier concepts, calculate accurately and apply precise language in unfamiliar contexts.
Regular practice helps surface gaps while there is time to address them.
- Cumulative contentEarlier ideas return in new contexts.
- CalculationsMethod, units and significant figures matter.
- ApplicationUse knowledge in unfamiliar questions.
- Exam precisionExplain clearly in mark-scheme language.
The programme centrepiece
Core teaching + Mastery practice
Mir is Academic Lead and architect of the SciencebyMir teaching system. Trained subject specialists deliver selected Mastery sessions within the same programme, assessment and lesson standards.
TEACH · UNDERSTAND · COVER THE SPECIFICATION
Core Teaching
Core Teaching builds specification understanding through clear explanations and worked examples. The weekly Core session is one hour in Year 12 and 1.5 hours in Year 13; Core lessons are recorded for catch-up and revision.

Mastery Practice
Question-led practice turns knowledge into marks. Students apply concepts, work through calculations and correct misconceptions.

Teaching sample
Inside an SBM lesson
A concept is taught and understanding is tested immediately. Misconceptions or gaps are identified, then the concept is retaught where needed and tested again before progression.
Teach → Test → Teach → Test
TeachIntroduce the concept clearly.
TestCheck understanding and surface gaps.
Teach againCorrect misconceptions and rebuild weak points.
Test againConfirm understanding before progression.
