VCE Chemistry is one of Melbourne’s most academically demanding senior subjects — Units 1 and 2 set the foundations for stoichiometry, bonding and equilibrium, and the gap between understanding a concept and applying it under SAC and exam conditions is where most students lose marks. Chemistry tutors in Melbourne on Learnmate help students close that gap with structured work on past VCAA exam questions, organic mechanism drills, redox-balancing review and Unit 3 and 4 SAC preparation. You browse profiles, filter by suburb and study score, and message tutors directly.

Whether you’re preparing for VCE Chemistry under the VCAA Study Design or IB Chemistry at Standard or Higher Level, Chemistry tutors in Melbourne on Learnmate match Melbourne’s two dominant senior curricula. There’s no lock-in contract, and payments are processed automatically by Learnmate after each lesson. Most tutors offer a free first lesson, so you can confirm fit before paying for ongoing sessions.

I was struggling in chemistry for so long until I found Surbhi! She explains things in great depth a detail, making it really easy to understand. She even realises what details I might be missing and helps me to understand understand the basics so that I can understand the harder stuff. Only wish I had found her sooner!

Louisa is an outstanding tutor in Chemistry. I've had Louisa as my tutor for two months now and I can confidently say that she provides excellent academic support to her students. Although I am an IB student and she completed the QCE, Louisa still achieves to precisely teach me the difficult concepts of Chemistry and continually aspires to learn more about the particular IB standards.

I really like how you introduce the topics broadly speaking initially, like discussing the real life applications to let us understand how it works in the real world which will help us visualise it as well. I also really like how you go in great detail explaining everything, and also doing many exam questions in every lesson. The questions were very relevant and have varying difficulties which help improve my abilities over time. Your explanations were also really really good. I never understood volumetric analysis in year 11 and initially in year 12 and I went through 2 chemistry tutors and also 3 school teachers over the course of a year and a half but you managed to teach me and let me fully understand and comprehend it in a matter of 20 minutes. I was seriously impressed.

Benjamin has done wonders for my son. He tutors my son in Yr 12 Chemistry. My son’s confidence in the subject, and subsequently his grades, have improved significantly since seeing Benjamin. He was thinking of Chemistry being in his bottom 2 subjects prior to the tutoring, but that has now changed.

Pre is an absolutely fantastic tutor who has assisted my daughter with Units 3&4 in Biology and my son through VCE Units 3&4 in Biology & Chemistry. She is patient, knowledgable and incredibly encouraging. Often I found her taking the time to explain complex issues in a different way to ensure their full understanding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pre and we will miss her regular tutoring sessions!

Jeannette is the best tutor I’ve ever had - she’s so friendly and good at explaining things that I always looked forward to and enjoyed our lessons. Her help is the reason why I scored highly in IB HL Chemistry. She’s a perfect IB tutor because she uses a lot of different resources and actual IB past paper questions. She also really helped me with my Chemistry IA. Thank you, Jeannette!!
