OCR A Level Chemistry Exam Technique Specialist: I help students prepare to move from B–C to A–A

Advert description
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 who understand the content but struggle in exams turn B–C grades into A–A* through structured exam technique training. Each session focuses on three things:
1. Concept clarity We rebuild difficult topics such as equilibria, thermodynamics, and organic mechanisms so they make sense.
2. Mark scheme language Students learn exactly how examiners award marks and how to structure answers.
3. Exam application We practise past paper questions under timed conditions and analyse mistakes.
This approach helps students translate understanding into marks.
As well 1:1s, I also run small group programmes - weekly 75-minute sessions focused on exam questions and mark scheme technique. Designed for year 13s preparing for their final A Level exams.
All sessions are recorded for playback and include:
• High level exam questions
• Mark scheme analysis
• Personal feedback on common mistakes made.
Small groups allow students to learn from each other's reasoning while still receiving individual attention. Throughout, parents receive regular progress updates. Price listed is for groups. Trial sessions are £15.
• If your child is studying OCR A Level Chemistry and wants to improve exam performance, the best place to start is a trial session.
During the trial I will:
• Assess current strengths and weaknesses
• Recommend a tutoring schedule.
Send a message to arrange a trial session and learn more.

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!
