Struggles of O Level, A Level, and IBDP Chemistry Students
Lengthy School Notes
Many students find their school notes overloaded with information, making it time-consuming and exhausting to locate specific details.
This proves counterproductive when studying for exams, creating a struggle that hinders effective learning.
No one to help and ask questions to
Teachers face significant time constraints, particularly when juggling numerous students and the task of assessing papers.
Consequently, students often lack the necessary personalized attention, particularly when seeking clarifications or assistance with questions.
Memorizing everything
Before discovering Braingainz, every single one of our students attests to a common struggle: resorting to rote memorization without grasping underlying concepts. Unfortunately, this approach proves ineffective, solidifying misconceptions instead.
This predicament stems from various factors, all of which our lessons thoughtfully address to ensure a transformative learning experience.
Don't know how to apply knowledge in exams
All of these combined prevent students from effectively applying their knowledge during exams.
Moreover, the lack of comprehensive review hinders their progress as practicing without feedback leads to a lack of awareness regarding their mistakes.
