The Lanterna Effect

Global grade distribution for Chemistry

Few subjects punish gaps like Chemistry. The global distribution is unforgiving, which is exactly why the jump our students make matters.

Our son had a wonderful experience with my tutor, Emily Jacobs. Her lessons were incredibly engaging and she has a gift for explaining complex topics in a clear and understandable way. She always created a positive and supportive learning environment, and I feel he made great progress. I highly recommend her! We had the pleasure of getting to know Lanterna, and the entire process was exceptional. Our needs and expectations were carefully discussed, and we were matched with the perfect tutor for our situation. The team demonstrated excellent organization, punctuality, and a consistently helpful and professional attitude. We are thoroughly impressed and can highly recommend their services.

My tutor, Marlen Fafouti, is organized, kind, and able to break down complicated material so that my daughter is able to learn it deeply. She is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable about her subject areas. Marlen has gained my daughter's trust and confidence so that they can partner together. Working with Marlen has grown my daughter's specific knowledge and subject skills as well as her self confidence. Thank you Marlen!

What we cover

The Chemistry Syllabus, Broken Down

The 2025 course is built on two ideas: Structure and Reactivity. Here's how it breaks down, and where students most need support.

The Chemistry guide was rewritten for first teaching in 2023 and first examined in May 2025. It is structured around two organising concepts, Structure and Reactivity, with the old option topics removed and key content folded into the core. The course develops both theory and practical investigation, with SL and HL routes and a 20% internal investigation.

Difference between SL and HL

HL adds breadth and depth across Structure and Reactivity and a longer Paper 2. Both follow the 2025 syllabus and the same investigation. We teach precisely to SL or HL.
