OCR GCSE Online Tutoring
Master the 9-1 Specification with Board-Specialist Tutors

OCR is a leading UK exam board with some distinctive features: (1) The J560 Maths specification places heavy emphasis on problem-solving and multi-step questions. (2) Science includes required practicals with specific write-up requirements. (3) English uses a particular approach to unseen poetry and modern texts. (4) Grade boundaries can differ from AQA and Edexcel. Our tutors are specialists who understand these differences and teach students how to exploit the specific mark schemes.

This is a crucial decision. Foundation tier awards grades 1-5 and covers less advanced content. Higher tier awards grades 4-9 and includes significantly more complex material. We recommend Higher tier for students who are consistently scoring 60%+ in Higher practice papers and who may need Maths for A-Level or career paths. Our tutors assess your child's current level and provide expert, impartial guidance on the best tier choice.
