Cambridge O Level, A Level and university courses, taught through interactive labs.
CourseJunior Mathematics: arithmetic and geometry foundations
The classic word problems (ratio, percentage, speed, mixtures) and the geometry every later course needs: angles, triangles, Pythagoras, polygons, circles, area and volume, learned by doing puzzles.
CourseJunior Algebra: the bridge to O-level
Algebra your child can see before they see a letter. A balance weighs an unknown, a machine hides a rule, and every idea starts as something you can move, not a line of symbols.

CoursePrimary Mathematics: foundations
Primary maths you do, not maths you read. Every lesson gives your child something to move, a guess to make first, and one idea to keep. Built for English-medium students aged 9 to 11.
CourseAS Physics: Practical Skills & Paper 3 Mastery (9702)
Complete Cambridge 9702 Paper 3 laboratory preparation: micrometer and vernier metrology, zero error calibration, uncertainty propagation, graph plotting with the 50% grid rule, and the 4-mark evaluation matrix.
CourseAS Physics: Measurement and Motion (9702)
9702 topics 1 and 2. Units, uncertainty and vectors, then motion read off a graph: the two topics every later paper quietly assumes you already own.
CourseAS Physics: Matter and Waves (9702)
9702 topics 6, 7 and 8. Stress, strain and the Young modulus, then waves: every interference pattern in the syllabus is superposition applied twice.
CourseAS Physics: Forces and Energy (9702)
9702 topics 3, 4 and 5. Newton’s laws, free-body diagrams and moments, then the two conserved quantities that answer a question without tracking every force.
CourseAS Physics: Electricity and the Atom (9702)
9702 topics 9, 10 and 11. Current as counted carriers, then circuits, then what the carrier is made of: the quark model as an answer, not a table to memorise.
CourseA2 Physics: Thermal Physics (9702)
9702 topics 14, 15 and 16. Temperature is not heat, and the difference is most of the marks: both come from the random motion of molecules, and this module makes that quantitative.
CourseA2 Physics: Quantum and Nuclear Physics (9702)
9702 topics 22 and 23. Some things only come in whole amounts: one photon, one quantized atomic energy level, one decaying nucleus. The foundational quantum core of modern physics.
CourseA2 Physics: Planning, Analysis & Paper 5 Mastery (9702)
Dedicated preparation for Cambridge 9702 Paper 5: 15-mark experimental planning, logarithmic linearisations, error bar plotting, best-fit and worst acceptable lines, gradient/intercept uncertainties, and significant figure rules.
CourseA2 Physics: Circular Motion, Gravitation and Oscillations (9702)
9702 topics 12, 13 and 17. A ball on a string, a planet in orbit and a mass on a spring turn out to be one problem: an acceleration that always points at a centre.
CourseA2 Physics: Medical Physics, Astronomy and Cosmology (9702)
9702 topics 24 and 25. Medical diagnostic technologies (ultrasound reflection, X-ray attenuation, CT reconstruction, PET annihilation) and astronomical cosmology (standard candles, Stefan-Boltzmann, Wien, Hubble expansion and the Big Bang).
CourseA2 Physics: Electric Fields, Capacitance, Magnetism and A.C. (9702)
9702 topics 18 to 21. A field is what one charge leaves behind for another to find. Strength adds as arrows and potential adds as numbers, and most of the marks live in that difference.
CourseCambridge A Level Mathematics: Probability & Statistics 1 (9709 Paper 5)
Paper 5 of 9709 from the ground up: data diagrams, averages and spread, probability, permutations and combinations, discrete, binomial and geometric distributions, and the normal distribution.
CourseCambridge A Level Mathematics: Pure 3 (9709 Paper 3)
Paper 3 of 9709, the pure paper the full A Level adds: algebra, logarithms, trigonometry, calculus with every function, numerical methods, vectors in three dimensions, differential equations and complex numbers.
CourseCambridge A Level Mathematics: Pure 1 (9709 Paper 1)
Paper 1 of 9709, the paper every AS and A Level candidate sits: quadratics, functions, coordinate geometry, circular measure, trigonometry, series, differentiation and integration, taught step by step with models you can move.
CourseAS Chemistry: Structure, Bonding and the Mole (9701)
9701 topics 1 to 4, the half of AS chemistry where nothing reacts yet: what a substance is made of, and how much of it you have. Electrons decide the first, the mole counts the second.
CourseAS Chemistry: Practical Skills and Paper 3 (9701)
The paper where knowing the chemistry is not enough. Choose the apparatus the method asks for, read it to the right place, and say which measurement limits your answer.
CourseAS Chemistry: Organic Synthesis and Evidence (9701)
Prove which compound you have before you name it: the carbonyl that two families share, the tests that separate them, and the reactions that build one functional group from another.
CourseAS Chemistry: Organic Patterns and Reactions (9701)
Read a molecule before you react it: formula languages, orbital hybridisation and shape, structural and cis-trans isomerism, and chirality in three dimensions.
CourseAS Chemistry: Periodic Patterns and Industrial Chemistry (9701)
9701 topics 9, 10, 11 and 12: Period 3 physical and chemical trends, Group 2 alkaline earth metals, Group 17 halogens, and the chemistry of nitrogen and sulfur.
CourseAS Chemistry: Energetics, Redox, Equilibria and Kinetics (9701)
9701 topics 5 to 8, the four questions you can ask about one reaction: does it give energy out, will it go at all, how far does it go, and how fast.
CourseA2 Chemistry: Transition Elements (9701)
One incomplete d subshell, and everything else follows from it. Find the second isomer on a square and fail to find it on a tetrahedron, then find out that a solution is the colour it does not absorb.
CourseA2 Chemistry: Planning, Analysis and Evaluation (9701)
Paper 5 is one skill in many costumes: plan on paper, straighten the law, take the gradient, and find the measurement that was limiting the result all along.
CourseA2 Chemistry: Organic Architecture (9701)
The A2 organic spine, starting where the evidence starts: two structures for benzene, the measurements that choose between them, and everything that follows from 152 kJ per mole of delocalisation energy.
