Ope Johnson

Hi, I’m Ope the Tutor, a passionate Chemistry tutor dedicated to helping students accomplish their goals.

With a strong academic background in Chemistry and 15+ years of experience supporting hundreds of learners across GCSE, A-Level, and IB, I’ve built my tutoring ethos around clarity, empathy, and results. I’m deeply specialised in OCR so I tailor each session to conform to the OCR specification and examiner marking style.

My goal is simple: to make Chemistry feel less intimidating and clearer. I believe every student has the potential to succeed, and I work hard to create a space where they feel confident asking questions, making mistakes, and growing. Whether we’re tackling tricky organic mechanisms or reviewing exam technique, I focus on building deep understanding, not just rote memorization.

My sessions are tailored to you in the sense that I will prioritise what you want to cover - gaps in knowledge, refreshers etc. A typical session with me starts with a quick recap on the previous content. From there, we dive into the topic using a mix of visual aids, exam-style questions, and real-world analogies to bring the subject to life. I encourage active participation, asking you to explain concepts back to me, solve problems collaboratively, and reflect on what you’ve learned. I also weave in exam style questions and homework support so you’re not just learning the material, you’re learning how to apply it as you would in the exam. You not only gain support from me but from your peers in your micro-group.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation session so I can fully understand your particular requirements before the first session. After that, a free trial session (online) where the student can get a feel for my teaching style before committing. My online booking system is simple and flexible, with clear pricing and recurring slots available for consistent support. You get access to a student portal, from where you can easily manage your bookings, payments, homework submission and best of all, have access to the best-in-class online classroom equipped for online learning (no awkward Zoom sessions here!)

What sets my tutoring apart is the personal connection I build with each student. I bring warmth, patience, and understanding to every session, and I’m genuinely invested in your progress. My tutoring isn’t only about grades, it’s about helping you discover your strengths, build confidence, and feel proud of your journey.
If you’re ready to make Chemistry click, I’d love to work with you. Let’s turn confusion into clarity and help you reach your goals.
