All the AQA GCSE Chemistry Past Papers

Luke is completing his DPhil (PhD) in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oxford, focusing on developing HDX methods to understand protein-ligand interactions. He holds a BSc in Chemistry with Summa Cum Laude honours from West Texas A&M University, where he achieved an exceptional 3.92/4.0 GPA. With experience as both an Analytical Chemistry Lab Instructor and published researcher in prestigious scientific journals, Luke brings authentic laboratory perspective to his teaching – particularly valuable for questions about practical chemistry, experimental design, and data interpretation. His background in advanced analytical techniques allows him to explain the principles behind chemical testing and analysis in accessible ways. Luke’s teaching combines rigorous academic knowledge with practical lab experience, helping students develop both theoretical understanding and the applied thinking that chemistry examiners increasingly value.

Finlay is currently studying Medicine at the University of Oxford, where he graduated with a First Class BA in Medical Sciences, placing 12th in his year. He previously achieved 10 As at GCSE and 4 As at A Level, including in Chemistry and Biology. Tutoring since 2020, Finlay has a particular talent for making organic chemistry accessible and meaningful by connecting it to biological and medical applications. He helps students master the visualization and systematic thinking needed for organic chemistry questions, breaking down complex reaction mechanisms into logical steps. Finlay’s approach emphasizes both content mastery and exam strategy, teaching students how to interpret different question types, use chemical terminology precisely, and structure explanations clearly – skills that lead to confident, successful exam performance across all chemistry papers.

Morgan is currently studying for an MChem degree in Chemistry at the University of Oxford (Jesus College), where he achieved First Class Honours and was awarded an academic scholarship for excellence. With three A*s at A Level in Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, and nine Grade 9s at GCSE, Morgan brings both deep subject knowledge and recent exam experience to his tutoring. Over four years of tutoring students across various abilities and learning needs, Morgan has developed a particular talent for explaining complex chemical concepts in accessible ways. He excels at teaching students the precise thinking needed for calculation questions and the accurate use of chemical terminology that examiners reward. His methodical approach helps students dramatically improve their grades by mastering both content knowledge and exam technique across all chemistry paper styles.
