Chemistry tutor jobs covering SPM Kimia, STPM and IB Chemistry: take Tingkatan 4 to 6 learners from mole calculations to organic reactions, paid in MYR for every hour taught.
Apply to teachPosting updated 2 November 2026
Chemistry tutor jobs put you beside a student wrestling with moles, bonding and organic mechanisms, usually in Form 4 or 5 on SPM Kimia 4541, sometimes in Form 6 or an IB or IGCSE class. That learner needs chemistry broken into steps they can repeat under exam pressure, one reaction at a time.
Fill in the apply form with your Chemistry levels; it takes about five minutes.
A coordinator confirms the Chemistry levels and exam boards you cover.
We match you with SPM, STPM, IB or IGCSE Chemistry students near you who need help in your subject and level.
Fix a lesson rhythm around lab days and trial exams with your Chemistry student, and we stay on hand from the first class.
RM60 to RM170 per hour
Rates move with the level (SPM Kimia up to STPM and IB HL), your training (IPG, ex-KPM or graduate) and the lesson format. Higher levels (STPM, IB HL, A-Level) and practical / eksperimen coaching sit at the upper end of the range.

A Form 4 Kimia lesson on the mole concept usually opens with the learner's own school worksheet. The tutor reads the questions they skipped, asks them to explain what one mole of water means in their own words, and listens for the moment Avogadro's constant and relative atomic mass start to blur together. That moment decides the next half hour.
The middle of the session is guided practice. On paper or a shared screen, the tutor sets out three conversions side by side: mass to moles, moles to number of particles, and moles to gas volume at room conditions. The learner talks through each step aloud while the tutor watches units, significant figures and the habit of writing the formula before substituting any number.
The last stretch moves the same skill into a timed, exam-style structured question. Homework stays short and pointed: six questions mixing the three conversions, one of them built on a balanced equation so the next lesson can open straight into stoichiometry. The progress note records which conversion is now secure and which one earns a second pass.
SPM Kimia rewards two abilities at once: exact recall of definitions and observations, and confident interpretation of experimental data. A good tutor spends Form 4 on the foundations every later chapter leans on (atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding and the mole), so Form 5 can go to redox equilibrium, carbon compounds, thermochemistry and polymers with exam practice layered on top.
Practical skill is assessed in school through science practical work within the KSSM and PBD framework. The tutor's task is fluency with variables, hypotheses, tabulated results and inference statements. A home or online lesson rehearses this with the learner's own lab report or a recorded experiment, and the written paper then rewards the very same reasoning.
STPM Chemistry is split into three semesters, every one of them ending in a written paper set for that semester, while school-based practical work is assessed in parallel. A tutor of a Form 6 candidate plans in semester blocks: physical chemistry first, then energetics, electrochemistry and the trends of the periodic table, then organic chemistry and its reaction mechanisms. Earlier semesters stay in light rotation, since the final grade draws on all three.
A tutor carrying four or five Chemistry learners works in two rhythms. Contact hours cluster on weekday evenings and weekend mornings, when Tingkatan 4 and 5 learners are home from school and Form 6 candidates have finished their own practical sessions. Online lessons fill the gaps between home visits, because a stoichiometry drill travels well over a video call.
Preparation grows lighter once a resource bank is built. Most Chemistry tutors keep worked examples for each chapter, a folder of past structured questions sorted by topic, and apparatus diagrams they can redraw in seconds: an electrolysis cell, a titration set-up, the Contact process. Each new learner receives a plan drawn from that bank and tuned to the pace of their school.
Marking closes the loop, and Chemistry scripts lose marks in predictable places. Once each answer has been checked against the details below, the tutor sends the Chemistry candidate a short progress note, copied to the person who enrolled them, that names the chapter covered, the skill now secure and the single question type to revisit next week.
A large group is Form 4 learners meeting Kimia as a full subject for the first time. New vocabulary, formulae and calculations arrive faster than anything in lower secondary science, and these learners want a steady weekly hour that keeps them level with their class, so bonding and the mole make sense before school moves on.
Form 5 candidates book with a sharper target: a stronger SPM Kimia grade, often because a matriculation place, a science foundation or a pathway into pharmacy, medicine or engineering depends on it. Their sessions lean on timed structured and essay questions, past-year practice and the carbon compounds chapter that many learners find the heaviest of the syllabus.
Form 6 STPM candidates, international-school learners on IGCSE or IB Chemistry, and adults returning to science for nursing or laboratory careers complete the picture. Each arrives with a different syllabus and a clear deadline. A tutor who moves comfortably between them builds a weekly timetable that spans every stage of the subject, and any learner can ask for a free tutor replacement at any stage.
No. IPG-trained tutors and ex-KPM Chemistry teachers are preferred and earn at the higher end, but graduates in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or related fields with strong subject knowledge and tutoring experience are welcome to apply.
Mainly SPM Kimia 4541 (LPM) and STPM Chemistry (MPM, 3-semester modular). Some students also request IB Chemistry SL/HL, IGCSE Chemistry or Cambridge A-Level Chemistry at international schools.
