Students struggling with Chemistry commonly complain that there is "too much information to memorise". 

There is indeed a substantial amount of information within the Chemistry syllabus, it can be managed with the right study techniques. 

 I believe many students struggle because 

• they are unable to make connections among the main topics, and end up with  a whole chunk of messy, disjointed information, 

• they are unable to generalise information and thus overwhelm themselves by  trying to remember a lot of details instead of understanding patterns.

My main approaches to teaching are 

• to help the students create linkages among the main chapters,

  
  

• to enable them to see the patterns within each big concept.
