What the exam involves
Schools choose their own exam board, so what a GCSE Chemistry exam involves depends on which one your child sits.

What to check with a tutor
None of these decide the price on TutorLab, but they decide whether a tutor is the right fit, so ask before you book.
- Which exam board does the tutor teach for Chemistry, and how recently?
- Which tier, Foundation or Higher, does the tutor recommend for your child?
- What does the tutor's published rate include, and could there be extras?
- How will the tutor tell you when your child no longer needs regular sessions?

Is online GCSE Chemistry tutoring cheaper than in person?
TutorLab lists one hourly rate per tutor. Some tutors who teach both charge a little less online because there is no travel, so ask about it when you message them.
Does Foundation or Higher tier cost more?
TutorLab tutors set one rate for GCSE, not a separate rate per tier. Ask which tier, Foundation or Higher, the tutor recommends for your child, and whether that changes the quote.
How is the price I'm quoted worked out?
