The real problem

The syllabus is not your only problem.

You can already find videos, notes and past papers. But five dialogs keep popping up — and content alone never closes them.

The 90/90 system

The whole syllabus —mastered,not just covered.

Exactly 90 focused lessons of 90 minutes. Not a
video library. A path

90
Lessons

90
Minutes each
Approximate calendar
About six months
One study unit every other day.

The full route is distributed across a wider calendar, leaving more room between scheduled study units.

Daily study load
Lighter

Same 90-unit route. The calendar changes. The syllabus does not. Each study unit is scheduled for 90 minutes.

Try the course, not a screenshot

A course should do more than explain the chapter.

Watch the lesson. Attempt the Skill Check. See the correction. Then decide what happens next.

MICRO-LESSON 1.2.1

Finding Order from Graphs

By the end, you can identify reaction order from rate-concentration graphs and concentration-time graphs.

Finding Order from Graphs · 31:33Try the Skill Check →
CHECK YOURSELF 1.2.11 / 1
A graph of rate against concentration for a reactant is a horizontal straight line. What is the order with respect to that reactant?

Select one answer, then check it.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
THE WORKED CORRECTION

A horizontal rate-concentration line is zero order.

The rate does not change as concentration changes. That means the rate is independent of that reactant's concentration.

Different subjects. The same feeling of finally getting it.

Students describe clearer explanations, a more organised route and the confidence to keep going.

The same route, read from two chairs.

If you are thinking this, here is what Alt gives you.

I am behind.A starting point and an ordered next step.
My school explanation did not click.Teaching you can replay.
I have notes but cannot answer the questions.Practice tied to the topic.
I keep revising the chapters I already like.A sequence that keeps the full subject visible.
I do not know whether to start topical or yearly papers.Topic practice first, then full-paper preparation.

Buy a route you can inspect, not a promise you cannot. Before choosing, you should be able to see:

  • Which qualification the course covers
  • What is taught
  • How practice follows the teaching
  • What the selected plan includes
  • Whether access is monthly or tied to an exam period
  • Whether any live teaching is included or sold separately
Honest answers

The questions you should ask before choosing.

01

“My child needs a teacher, not more videos.”

If the student needs scheduled one-to-one supervision at every session, the recorded core may not be enough on its own. Alt combines replayable teaching with checks and exam practice. Subject-specific Academic Support and selected live programmes may also be available.

02

“Can YouTube do this for free?”

YouTube can provide explanations. It usually does not provide one verified route through the selected syllabus, with teaching, checks, chapter resources and exam practice connected in sequence.

03

“Is this just a video library?”

No. Videos are one part of the learning loop. Skill Checks, written resources, worksheets, Chapter Tests and past-paper preparation move the student from watching to doing.

04

“Does ninety units mean less syllabus?”

No. The full syllabus is organised into ninety study units. The number controls the timetable, not the amount of examinable content.

05

“Will this guarantee an A?”

No responsible course can guarantee a grade independent of the student’s starting point, work and exam performance. Alt’s promise is a complete, followable path, not a result it cannot control.

THE 90×90 METHOD

Ninety study units. Ninety minutes each.

The full syllabus is organised into ninety scheduled study units, with teaching, practice and checks inside the route.

From the classroom outward

Bilal Hameed began teaching Chemistry in 2002.

Since 2002, I have moved from one classroom to founding schools to building a learning platform that now reaches students across 70+ countries. I was part of the founding team at Nixor College, later founded Cedar College, and co-founded The Ivy School.

I built Alt Academy to make strong subject teaching available beyond one classroom, school, or city. The platform gives learners structured teaching, practice, and exam preparation at scale.

Frequently asked questions

The useful questions, answered plainly.

01
Are the courses live or recorded?

The core courses are recorded and self-paced. Separate live group programmes have their own schedules and scope.

02
Can I try the course before choosing?

Yes. The sample above lets you watch a real lesson, attempt a Skill Check and see the correction.

03
What is a 90×90 study unit?

It is one planned container for learning and practice. Ninety units map the full syllabus into three possible calendar speeds.

04
Does every subject include the same resources?

Course contents can vary. Check the selected course page for its teaching, practice, notes, tests and support.
