OCR A-Level Chemistry Tuition: Small Group with 1:1 Support for students aiming for A/A

Advert description
Hi, I'm Ope. I have over 15 years of tutoring experience helping A-Level Chemistry students improve their exam performance while gaining confidence in Chemistry.

My background includes:
First Class Chemistry degree from Queen Mary University of London
Scholarship awarded for Green Chemistry Master's at the University of York
Specialist focus on OCR Chemistry exam technique

My specialism is helping OCR A-Level Chemistry students who understand the content but struggle in exams turn B–C grades into A–A* through structured exam technique training. My hybrid programme combines small group teaching with regular 1:1 support. Each session focuses on three things:

1. Solidifying concepts: We focus on difficult topics according to a predefined curriculum (OCR-based).
2. Mark scheme language: Students learn exactly how examiners award marks and how to structure answers for optimal marks.
3. Exam application: We practise past paper questions, applying learned techniques and analyse mistakes.

Students also get homework for the week to consolidate their knowledge.
This approach helps students turn their understanding into marks.

I run a hybrid programme for OCR A-Level Chemistry students: twice-weekly small group sessions plus regular 1:1 support for each student. It's designed for students working at a B or C and aiming for an A/A* - so all students have a common goal - who want the structure of a course with personalised guidance as they prepare for their final A-Level exams.

All sessions are recorded for playback and include:
• Targeted exam-style questions
• Examiner-level analysis
• Included 1:1 sessions for focused feedback on personal challenges

Small groups (max 6) allow students to learn from each other's reasoning, while 1:1 support helps target individual gaps and keep progress on track. Throughout, parents receive regular progress updates. Price listed is for the hybrid programme. Trial classes are free.
I'm operating a waitlist currently for the next academic year.

• If your child is starting year 12 or going in to year 13 A-Level Chemistry in the next academic year and wants to improve their exam performance, the best place to start is a trial class to see for yourself.

During the trial I will:
• Assess current strengths and weaknesses
• Recommend the most suitable support plan

Ope is always very patient and very good at explaining topics I find confusing. Over the past few months, my sessions with her have helped me improve my exam technique so much and the chemistry papers now don't seem as daunting. Overall, I would recommend Ope to any fellow A-Level students as I'm now going into the exam season with much more confidence thanks to her!

I've been doing lessons with Ope for a while now and I can definitely see improvements in how I answer exam questions. She's a great tutor and has helped me with topics that I previously struggled with, as well as helping improve my exam technique

I'm happy to say I excelled and achieved an A in Chemistry. Our sessions were really helpful and enjoyable too. I found myself applying the problem solving skills she taught me to other subjects as well and I'm really glad I had you as my tutor, miss Ope!
