Quantities in Chemical Reactions
The mole, molar mass, stoichiometry and percentage yield.
Basics we rebuild: ratios, fractions and unit conversions
Unit 4
Solutions & Solubility
Concentration, dilution, solubility and acids and bases.
Basics we rebuild: rearranging formulas
Unit 5
Gases & Atmospheric Chemistry
Gas laws, the ideal gas law and air quality.
Basics we rebuild: algebra with several variables
Plus
Exams & lab reports
Unit test and final exam prep, lab report writing, and optional Waterloo Avogadro Exam practice.
Included with SCH3U coaching
We fix the basics while we cover the curriculum.
SCH3U is where many students first meet the mole and stoichiometry. Most struggles trace back to fractions, ratios or algebra, so we check those in the free assessment and fix them as we go.
- Personalized notes for every unit, kept in a binder
- All stationery included: notebooks, binders, worksheets
- True 1-on-1 attention every session
- Practice tests before every unit test and the final exam
- Monthly progress note for parents
SCH3U questions
Is SCH3U hard?
It is a big step up from Grade 10 Science because of the math involved. Students who get help with the mole and stoichiometry early usually do well.
Do I need SCH3U?
SCH3U is the prerequisite for SCH4U, which many Ontario health science, life science and engineering programs require.
When should we start tutoring?
At the start of the course, or before the Quantities in Chemical Reactions unit, where most students first struggle.
Can you help with online or summer school SCH3U?
Yes. We follow the same Ontario curriculum whether your child takes SCH3U in day school, summer school or online.
