High school chemistry can be a challenging subject. However, with the right instructor and/or some online chemistry tutoring it can be the most interesting, enjoyable and rewarding subject you will ever study. At BCTutoring Online, I am an experienced chemistry teacher and an expert tutor specializing in only British Columbia curricula Chemistry 11 and Chemistry 12. And I do it all online.
Chemistry 11
Chemistry 11 is an introduction to chemistry. It builds on the chemical concepts and skills that students learn in Sciences 8, 9 and 10. Beginning with an introduction to matter and a review of naming and writing chemical formulas, the course introduces the mole concept and its application to 
stoichiometry. In addition, students learn more detail about atomic structure, bonding, solution chemistry and an introduction to recognizing and naming organic compounds. For students planning on studying Chemistry 12, the two most important pre-requisite units are stoichiometry and solution chemistry.
Chemistry 12
Chemistry 12 is an advanced course in chemistry, bridging Chemistry 11 to the experience that students will have in a university level chemistry course. It focuses on 3 concepts: chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium and oxidation 
reduction reactions. Chemical equilibrium is by far the most prominent topic and includes solubility and acid base equilibria. Understanding, the concept of equilibrium early in the course is fundamental to the student’s overall success in Chemistry 12. While a basic proficiency in algebra is important in the study of both Chemistry 11 and 12, good algebra skills and to a lesser extent the understanding of logarithms are critical to student success in Chemistry 12.
When Should I Get Tutoring?
Remember that a little tutoring help early in the course can be far more beneficial than a lot of tutoring near the end. I see far too many students that require a lot of tutoring just to pass the course when they could have received a little tutoring here and there throughout the year and probably gotten an A or a B.
Chemistry is much like math, in that many concepts learned early on are used repeatedly throughout the year as building blocks for other concepts. Not learning the material as it is presented can make the entire course much more difficult than it should be. Getting some online chemistry tutoring could be just what you need.
