Year 11 Chemistry introduces students to new concepts, chemical calculations, scientific investigation and increasingly complex problem-solving.
At Markitup, our Year 11 Chemistry program is designed to help students understand the chemistry behind the questions, rather than simply memorising content.
Markitup has developed its own structured Chemistry program aligned with the NSW Chemistry 11–12 Syllabus (2025).
Lessons are taught by experienced, high-achieving tutors who can explain difficult concepts clearly and help students work through challenging questions.

Our Year 11 Chemistry program follows the new Chemistry 11–12 Syllabus (2025), which replaces the previous Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus (2017). The course has three focus areas:
Students develop an understanding of the structure, properties and behaviour of matter.
Students develop the mathematical skills needed to solve Chemistry problems accurately.
Students examine how and why chemical reactions occur and how they can be represented and analysed.
Chemistry is not just about knowing the content.
The new syllabus places strong emphasis on Working scientifically, including:
These skills are integrated throughout the Chemistry course.
At Markitup, students are encouraged to explain their reasoning, interpret information, apply concepts to unfamiliar questions and communicate their understanding clearly.
Want to know how we support these skills?
Chemistry can become difficult when students rely on memorising definitions and formulas without understanding how the concepts connect.
We focus on helping students understand:
Students learn why something happens, how to recognise it in a question and how to apply their knowledge to solve unfamiliar problems.
This is particularly important as Chemistry questions increasingly require students to apply knowledge rather than simply recall information.
Our lessons follow a structured approach:
Students are taught the concepts, work through examples with their tutor, practise questions and apply their understanding to increasingly challenging problems.
Students can also bring questions from school when they need additional help understanding a particular topic.
Not sure what your child needs help with?
Students need more than weekly lessons to build strong Chemistry skills.
Year 11 assessment preparation is incorporated into the program throughout the year.
Chemistry assessment coming up? Book a free trial and bring along the areas your child is finding difficult.
Students can bring their schoolwork, assessment questions or difficult Chemistry concepts to class for additional support.
This helps connect what students learn at Markitup with what they are currently studying at school.
Enrolled Chemistry students can also receive additional support before upcoming Chemistry exams.
Regular practice is an important part of learning Chemistry.
Students receive structured homework to reinforce the concepts covered in class and continue practising between lessons.
Our program is aligned with the NSW Chemistry 11–12 Syllabus (2025).
Students can build their Year 11 knowledge and skills with a clear understanding of what is expected throughout the senior Chemistry pathway.
Chemistry can be difficult to teach well.
Our tutors need to understand the subject deeply and be able to break complex concepts into clear, manageable steps.
Students work with experienced tutors who can explain the theory, demonstrate problem-solving methods and provide guidance when students get stuck.
Our goal is not simply to help students complete more questions. We want students to become better at:
Strong Year 11 foundations also provide important assumed knowledge for Year 12 Chemistry.
Give your child a strong start in Chemistry.
Maximum 8 students so tutors can provide individual attention.
Students follow a clear program rather than relying on ad-hoc tutoring.
Students receive structured Chemistry booklets with theory, examples and practice.
Learn from tutors who understand both the subject and how to teach it.
Students can bring difficult schoolwork and assessment questions to class.
Structured practice keeps students working between lessons.
Students regularly practise the skills needed for school assessments and senior Chemistry.
Year 11 and 12 students can trial one lesson for every subject before enrolling.
Still deciding? Ask Miu and we'll help you understand how the program works.
Starting early gives students time to understand the concepts properly, practise regularly and build stronger Chemistry foundations. Experience a Markitup Chemistry lesson before committing.
The NSW Chemistry 11–12 Syllabus (2025) begins for Year 11 in 2028. The previous Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus continues for Year 12 during 2028, with the new Year 12 syllabus beginning in Term 4 2028.
The new Year 11 course has three focus areas: Properties and Structure of Matter, Quantitative Chemistry, and Chemical Reactions. Working Scientifically skills are integrated throughout the course.
