OCR A-Level Chemistry Exam Technique Specialist: 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:
• High level exam questions
• Mark scheme analysis
• Personal feedback on common mistakes made.

• 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 or recommend the group programme if it would be a better fit.

Send me a message to arrange a trial session and learn more.
Trial sessions are £15 per hour. 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 really helped me with some key organic concepts and also helping me answer questions that i have found difficult. She broke it down well and helped me understand the key ideas. I did see improvement in my understanding over time. However, at times some topics weren’t explained as clearly as I needed, which meant I occasionally had to revisit the material on my own. Overall, it was still a useful experience, and I’m grateful for the time and effort put into the sessions.

Ope responds:
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback – I’m really glad to hear the sessions helped improve your understanding, especially in organic chemistry. I also appreciate your honesty about where explanations could have been clearer at times. I’m always working to improve my methods, and your feedback is genuinely helpful. Wishing you all the best

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!
