OCR A • A-Level Chemistry Specialist Tutor • Examiner: I help students stuck on B/C grade aiming for an 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.

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

I help OCR A Level Chemistry students stuck on a B/C grade who understand the content but struggle in exams to write A–A* answers through structured exam technique training. Each session focuses on three things:
1. Solidifying concepts: We focus on difficult topics that the student has identified as weak areas.
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.

This approach helps students translate understanding into marks.
My 1:1s are suitable for students with specific topic weaknesses, deadlines for re-sits, need mock/assessment reviews, as it is student-led. I also run hybrid group sessions with 1:1 support.

All sessions are recorded for playback and include:
• Past exam questions
• Mark scheme analysis
• Personal examiner feedback on common mistakes made and technique coaching.

• If your child is studying OCR A-Level Chemistry and wants to improve their exam performance, the best place to start is a free 15-minute consultation video call.

During the call:
• I will learn more about your specific tutoring requirements
• You will learn more about how my sessions work, next steps and what to expect (assuming I am a good fit for your child's needs)

During an introductory assessment session, I will:
• Assess current strengths and weaknesses by providing the student with a comprehensive diagnostic test
• Recommend a tutoring schedule or recommend the group programme if it would be a better fit.

Send me a message to arrange a free consultation to discuss more.
Please note the price listed is the hourly rate for discounted monthly sessions. Ask me to learn more about my pricing structure for 1:1 sessions.

Ope is a fantastic tutor, not only does she explain anything I find hard tricky in a very thought-out and easy-to-follow way, but she also makes sure to build my confidence with the topic by going through exam questions. She is always happy to answer any questions I have and has really made me come to love chemistry again. I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.

Ope is an incredible chemistry tutor! She prepared my son, Filip, for his A-Levels, and the transformation in his confidence was amazing. Chemistry can be so challenging, but Ope broke down difficult topics in a way that made him feel capable and supported. Thanks to her guidance, he walked into his exams feeling confident and well-prepared. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, effective tutor!
