• Anyone struggling with reaction mechanisms
• Students who need help with assignments, tutorials, or laboratory reports
During our lessons, we can cover topics such as:
General Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Reaction Mechanisms
Organic Reaction Design
Spectroscopy (NMR & Mass Spectrometry)
Problem Solving and Exam Strategies
Every lesson is tailored to your current level and learning goals. I explain difficult concepts step by step, using clear examples and encouraging questions throughout the lesson. My aim is not only to help you improve your grades but also to develop the confidence to solve unfamiliar chemistry problems independently.

Lessons are available online in English or Chinese.

About Me

Hello! I am currently pursuing a PhD in Organic Chemistry at the University of Göttingen, Germany.

I am passionate about chemistry and even more passionate about helping students understand it. I believe that every student can succeed when difficult concepts are explained clearly and logically. Instead of asking students to memorize countless reactions and formulas, I focus on helping them understand the reasoning behind chemistry so they can solve problems with confidence.

I enjoy teaching students at different levels, especially university students studying General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and reaction mechanisms. Every lesson is adapted to the student's background, learning style, and goals. Whether you are preparing for an important examination, working through assignments, or simply trying to understand a difficult topic, I will guide you step by step with patience and encouragement.

Outside of research, I enjoy communicating with students from different cultures and making science more accessible and enjoyable. My lessons are interactive, well-structured, and designed to help students become independent learners.

I offer lessons online in English and Chinese.

Struggling with math, physics, or chemistry? You're not alone — these subjects are hard, and classroom explanations are rarely enough.
I offer personalized tutoring for middle school, high school, and early university students following the French Mission curriculum, the Moroccan national curriculum, or the international baccalaureate.
Topics covered:

Mathematics: algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, probability
Physics: mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics
Chemistry: organic, inorganic, stoichiometry, reactions

My approach:
I don't re-explain the textbook — I identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and fix it from there. Each session is built around your specific difficulties, not a preset program.
I completed CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics and Physics before graduating as a State Engineer — I know these subjects at an advanced level and I know where students typically get lost.
Individual and small group sessions available. Online (worldwide) in French, Arabic, or English.

Chemistry Calculations Masterclass | IGCSE & IB

### Master Chemistry Calculations and Maximize Your Exam Marks

Do you understand Chemistry theory but struggle when you face calculation questions?

Do you lose marks because of **formula selection, unit conversions, mathematical steps, significant figures, or poorly structured working**?

This masterclass is designed specifically for **IGCSE and IB Chemistry students** who want to build strong confidence in quantitative Chemistry and improve their exam performance.

I’m **Dr. Basil Magdi**, a Chemistry tutor with **10+ years of experience teaching international curricula**, including IGCSE, IB, GCSE, A-Level, and American Chemistry. With a background in Pharmacy and Quality Management, I use a systematic, step-by-step approach that helps students understand not only *how* to calculate the answer, but *why* each step is required.

### What You Will Master

**Core Quantitative Chemistry – IGCSE & IB**

• The mole concept and Avogadro's constant
• Relative atomic mass and relative formula mass
• Molar mass calculations
• Balanced equations and stoichiometric calculations
• Limiting reactants
• Percentage yield and atom economy
• Empirical and molecular formulae
• Gas volume calculations
• The ideal gas equation
• Concentration calculations
• Dilution calculations
• Titration calculations
• Reacting masses and volumes

**IB Chemistry – Additional Skills**

• Uncertainty calculations
• Percentage uncertainty and percentage error
• Significant figures and decimal places
• Data processing and evaluation
• Uncertainty in experimental results

### How We Work

Rather than simply memorizing formulas, you will learn a **repeatable method for solving Chemistry calculations**:

**Understand → Identify → Choose the equation → Substitute → Calculate → Check → Give the correct units**

We will work through progressively more challenging problems and use **IGCSE/IB-style exam questions and past papers** to develop speed, accuracy, and exam technique.

### This Masterclass Is Ideal For Students Who:

✓ Struggle with Chemistry calculations
✓ Understand the theory but cannot apply it to questions
✓ Make frequent calculation or unit-conversion errors
✓ Find stoichiometry and mole calculations difficult
✓ Need help with titration and concentration problems
✓ Want to improve their exam technique
✓ Are preparing for IGCSE or IB Chemistry exams
✓ Want structured practice and targeted feedback

### What You Can Expect

✓ Clear, step-by-step explanations
✓ Personalized instruction based on your current level
✓ Extensive calculation practice
✓ Exam-style questions and past-paper practice
✓ Identification and correction of recurring mistakes
✓ Guidance on showing working clearly to earn method marks
✓ Strategies for checking whether your answer is reasonable
✓ Focused preparation for IGCSE and IB examinations

**The goal is not simply to memorize Chemistry formulas — it is to develop the confidence and problem-solving skills to approach unfamiliar calculation questions successfully.**

Book a lesson and let's turn Chemistry calculations from a source of lost marks into one of your strongest areas.
