I have over 15 years of experience helping OCR A A-Level Chemistry students stuck on a B/C grade who understand the content but struggle in exams to write A/A* answers
Hi, I'm Ope the Tutor, a passionate A-Level Chemistry tutor and current examiner dedicated to helping students accomplish their goals.
With a strong academic background in Chemistry and 15+ years of experience supporting hundreds of learners supported, I've built my tutoring ethos around clarity, empathy, and results. I do specialised OCR A groups so I tailor each session to conform to the OCR A specification and examiner marking style. I offer a group-only or a hybrid group programme as well as private 1-to-1s.
My goal is simple: to make Chemistry feel less intimidating and clearer. I believe every student has the potential to succeed, and I work hard to create a space where they feel confident asking questions, making mistakes, and growing. Whether we're tackling tricky organic mechanisms or reviewing exam technique, I focus on building deep understanding, not just memorisation.
Teaching Experience:
I have over 15 years of tutoring experience helping A-Level Chemistry students improve their exam performance.
I particularly help 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 3 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 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.
Tutoring Approach:
My 1:1 sessions are tailored to you in the sense that I will prioritise what you want to cover - gaps in knowledge, refreshers etc. A typical session with me starts with a quick recap on the previous content. From there, we dive into the topic using a mix of visual aids, exam-style questions, and real-world analogies to bring the subject to life. I encourage active participation, asking you to explain concepts back to me, solve problems collaboratively, and reflect on what you've learned. I also weave in exam style questions and homework support so you're not just learning the material, you're learning how to apply it as you would in the exam.
In my hybrid group sesions, you get the best of both worlds - you not only gain structure and support from me but from your peers in your micro-group coupled with regular 1:1 support so you get individualised support too.
I offer discounted trial sessions so I can fully understand your particular requirements before the first session and the student can get a feel for my teaching style before committing. My online booking system is simple and flexible, with clear pricing and recurring slots available for consistent support. You get access to a student portal, from where you can easily manage your bookings, payments, homework submission and best of all, have access to the best-in-class online classroom equipped for online learning (no awkward Zoom sessions here!)
What sets my tutoring apart is the personal connection I build with each student and my strong OCR Chemistry expertise. I bring warmth, patience, and understanding to every session, and I'm genuinely invested in your progress. My tutoring isn't only about grades, it's about helping you discover your strengths, build confidence, and feel proud of your journey.
If you're ready to make Chemistry click, I'd love to work with you. Let's get rid of the confusion and help you reach your goals.
Note: price listed on my profile is the discounted monthly rate for 1:1s. Please contact me to learn more about varying pricing structures offered for 1:1s and labs.

Personal Description:
I am a graduate in Mathematical Economics from the University of Birmingham. My original career was as a Chartered Management Accountant but I always had the ambition to move into teaching. I have been tutoring children one-to-one since 2012. I also run a maths and English training centre for 3 to 14 year olds. I was a governor in a primary and then a grammar school for many years before entering the teaching profession. I was on the GTP training course for Secondary Mathematics at London South Bank University before deciding to go down the tutoring route. My aim is to help children become independent, confident learners who are not afraid of numbers. Everyone can do Maths!
I teach maths at the following levels:
GCSE
A Level
Adult Leaners
Teaching Experience:
I am now tutoring both face to face or online.
I have now built up a lot of experience helping students prepare for GCSE and A level exams. I cover all levels and topics up to Further Maths in year 13. This includes mechanics and Statistics. I also work with adults who are doing numeracy or other work related maths exams.
Many pupils find the transfer from primary to secondary schooling academically challenging. I can explain the underlying mathematical concepts and show them how to approach questions so that they can get into the maths set they deserve. For older pupils I will build their confidence by presenting topics in a variety of ways to find one that makes sense to them. I will help the students improve their exam techniques.
I will travel to your home within 5 miles of Cambridge.
Tutoring Approach:
Don't take my word for it. These are the comments posted by parents. They demonstrate my approach to tutoring.
"Ian has been reliable and my son is happier with Maths than he was. He feels much more confident"
"Ian very good Maths teacher,is so polite, good explain, my daughter she is very bad with Maths, but now she understanding better than before.This is really helped,I recommend this teacher.
We are very Happy.
Thanks Ian"
"More than happy. Ian engaged and connects with my son with ease.Excellent tutor,Thoroughly recommended"
"Ian has been a fantastic tutor and really helped my son in his preparation for his GCSE`s."
"My son was struggling in his first year at secondary with maths. In the few weeks he has worked with Ian has had a marked improvement at school and has grown in confidence."
"Enthusiastic and thorough in his teaching. My son actually enjoy the lessons with Ian."
"Ian is very patient and a good teacher. ****** is happy with the pace and content of her lessons. Would highly recommend
Thank you"
"My daughter and I are very happy to have Ian as her Maths tutor. Ian is punctual, patient and understanding. He has built

Personal Description:
Post doctoral researcher at University of Sheffield, working to improve mathematical computer models which predict onset of heart disease.
I recently completed a PhD in Bioengineering at Imperial College London, carrying out mathematical research on heart disease. My first degree was in Maths at the same university, and I took a Masters in Biomedical Research in between.
I attended both a state school and a top boarding school and am comfortable to cover topics on and off the standard syllabus.
I am a very fun, friendly person with a wide range of activities and hobbies from inline skating to singing and playing the violin.
Teaching Experience:
I have tutored A-level maths privately for a few years, and also spent several weeks as a teaching assistant in a secondary school during my undergraduate degree as part of the Student Associates Scheme. Many of my contemporaries from university are science and mathematics teachers across England and overseas, and I periodically discuss teaching methods and curriculum changes with them.
During my PhD, I led undergraduate tutorials and problems classes in the Mathematics and several Engineering departments, teaching undergraduates from 1st year to 4th year. The courses include Mathematical Methods, Matlab, Fluid Mechanics, PDEs, Modelling in Biology, Heat and Mass Transfer. I also carried out 1-1 tuition for undergraduates at departmental request. I have supervised a number of undergraduate and masters research projects and summer students.
Tutoring Approach:
I am a very approachable person and I prefer interactive sessions, although I can tailor the tuition style to the individual.
A first meeting would involve an informal chat for the student and I to get more familiar with his/her needs and style of working, and everything follows from there.

Personal Description:
My name is Michael and I teach private one to one drum kit lessons to people of all ages, in and around the Yorkshire area. I have been playing the drum kit for over 20 years and started playing at the early age of 11. Since then I have been in many bands and performed in many venues in and around the Yorkshire area.
After studying music at school in Scotland and forming my first band I soon found myself addicted to the drum kit. I decided I wanted to further my skills by getting private drum kit lessons which helped me gain my Standard Grade/GCSE and Higher Grade/A-Level in Music. I then furthered this by studying a BTEC in Popular Music at Huddersfield Technical College and a BA (Hons) in Popular Music at the University of Sheffield. I have also recently completed my PGCE in Life Long Learning at the University of Huddersfield and hold QTLS with IfL.
Teaching Experience:
I had my first teaching experience when I was 16 years old at a music workshop during the summer holidays where I was involved in teaching groups of people how to play the drum kit within a band setting. At the end of the workshops each group that had formed had to perform their songs to the public.
Since then I always had a desire to pursue my teaching and in 2006 I started teaching at Rhythm Inc Music Tuition in Barnsley. Initially, I only had a couple of students that I would teach in my spare time between my job and other commitments. However, more students started coming and having only started with a couple I soon had enough to become self-employed and put my all into my teaching.
In 2007 I started teaching at Take 2 Music Academy in Birdwell, Barnsley and at Rockem Music in Rotherham. I have taught at other private music schools and in local schools in the Yorkshire area. I also have experience delivering group workshops within both private and local schools.
Currently, in 2012 I opened my own teaching studio based in Wakefield, and continue to teach at Rhythm Inc Music Tuition in Barnsley, Take 2 Music Academy in Birdwell, Barnsley and at Rockem Music in Rotherham. I have recently completed a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Lifelong Learning and hold QTLS with IfL (Institute for Learning)
I am fully CRB and DBS checked and currently have a 100% pass rate for students sitting their graded exams.
Tutoring Approach:
Lessons are taught on a one to one basis using two drum kits, one for the student and one for myself. Choice of electric of acoustic drum kits. Lessons are taught at the students own pace and involves practical work.
GROOVES
Learn all styles of drumming such as Rock, Blues, Latin, Metal, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, etc.
Learn drum grooves from songs including your own favourite songs.
Learn how to improvise on the drum kit to backing tracks including soloing.
Learn all grades from the Rockschool or Trinity Guildhall syllabus.

Personal Description:
It is a number of years since I even considered updating my profile. In the last few months I have been asked out by the wife of a very close friend if I would tutor her nephew. I have also been approached by a Russian educational agency to tutor two Russian students.
I must confess I have really enjoyed. So I am updating my profile and offering my services.
I am a retired Deputy Headteacher.Even though I have held senior management roles in schools for 20 years Headteacher's have always wanted me to continue teaching Economics.
Prior to entering the profession I worked as a foreign currency dealer in the City. Whilst it paid very well my second favourite job was the stint I had as milkman. I also spent a summer season employed as a doorman at a disco in a Spanish resort.
My route to becoming a teacher was 'indirect' but I believe the experience I gained outside education proved invaluable in influencing my approach to teaching and the way I relate to students.
I am fanatical Liverpool supporter and since retirement have become a golfer.
Teaching Experience:
I taught Economics at A level and GCSE for 30 years in state comprehensive schools in London and Berkshire.
More recently, and after retirement:
I prepared a 6th form class at Battle Abbey School
for their level A Economics
In all my posts GCSE classes I taught have achieved achieved 70% Level 5 or above.
At A level, classes I taught rarely included any fail results and on average my classes achieved 70% A*-B grades. Even in my last year of teaching a class of 21 A level students secured 86% A*-B grades.
I am very familiar with AQA and Edexcel Syllabi and the IB Economics course. I was an examiner for both Edexcel and AQA.
I also have been involved in preparing students for Oxbridge. In all, I helped successfully prepare 19 students for interviews at Oxford(to read PPE) and Cambridge(to read Economics).
Upon retiring I had thought my days in the classroom had ended. The fact experienced and trained A level Economics teachers are a very rare breed has led to offers, two of which I found difficult to turn down. I was contacted through UK tutors by Battle Abbey School. They wanted an A level economics teacher to prepare a class for 2/3 of the A level course in 18 weeks! We achieved it with most students securing grades above those predicted.
In Sept 2019 I provided additional Learning for an A level student. The parents were Governors at Gildredge House School. After a few months they asked if I would consider becoming Head of Economics at Gildredge House and introduce GCSE Economics as well as teaching the A level. I did not want such a commitment but would be prepared to teach the Yr12 and Yr13 A level groups.
The Yr13 group had received very little grounding in Yr12 and had not developed the disciplined attitude towards learning. It took time for most of them to trust I knew what I was doing and act upon guidance and advice. Then Covid came! Nevertheless, most students secured results at least two grades higher than those I had predicted for them in Nov 19.
I was asked if I would extend my one year contract as no appropriately qualified and experienced replacement could be found. I am currently teaching Yr13 and Yr12 groups three mornings a week and enjoying it!!
The extension lasted 4 years!
And now I am tutoring again and lovint it.
Tutoring Approach:
When first meeting students who have never studied Economics I inform them they do have an understanding of the subject because it affects all aspects of their everyday lives. Wherever possible I will relate economic theories and principles to those real life experiences.
Indeed there are two general approches to teaching the subject:
1. Learn the theories and then apply to real life.
2. Introduce the theories through real life situations.
I adopt the latter approach.
Regarding my approach to student learning in general: wherever possibleI encourage and guide students to think and learn for themselves as it builds self confidence.
My overall approach is to encourage students to enjoy their learning. The subject is difficult requiring a lot of hard work. If students enjoy their learning the studying is easier
Tutoring on a one to one basis requires a flexible approach. The attitude, learning style and ability of a student should influence the style of tutoring.
Finally, I value a learning relationship with honesty on both sides. If a students is unable to complete a task by the agreed deadline I would rather they just tell me rather than devise a convincing excuse. On occasions we all face unexpected circumstances which can derail plans.
This overall approach seemed to receive a positive reaction from students as the subject nearly always attracted largish numbers at A level.

Personal Description:
As a fully qualified primary school teacher with fifteen years experience in the classroom and five years as a tutor working privately and in schools, I understand that all children are different but all can be successful with an approach tailored specifically to them. I use a wide range of strategies appropriate to the individual needs of your child based on my teaching experience in every year group from Year 1 to Year 6 and leadership in core subjects at several schools rated Outstanding by OFSTED.
Teaching Experience:
With significant experience in teaching the full national curriculum to every year group in key stages 1 and 2, I can provide an enhanced learning experience for every child in all aspects of Maths and English and their application in other curriculum subjects by drawing on the very best of modern and traditional teaching methods. I also have experience working with children with a range of additional needs. These include Aspergers, Autism, Downs Syndrome, ADHD, Global Delay, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Discalculia.
Tutoring Approach:
I use quality resources to make learning accessible and meaningful, creating and adapting everything I use to ensure the learning is tailored to the learner. Interesting, engaging and constantly adapting to the needs of your child as and when they emerge I ensure learning is enjoyable but also challenging. I tutor both privately and in schools, where much of my work has been through the National Tutoring Program - enabling children to catch up from learning missed during the pandemic.

Personal Description:
I am Ian, a friendly and enthusiastic mathematician, a former teacher of maths and physics A Levels while living on the south coast of England, now relocated to Glasgow. I believe that there is much beauty to be found in mathematics and science and try to convey this appreciation alongside the technical skills required to get you through your exams. These subjects don't have to be the impenetrable list of technicalities they are often portrayed as!
I offer tutoring for Mathematics (A Level, Higher, Advanced Higher and IB Diploma), Further Mathematics (A Level) and Physics (A Level, Higher and IB Diploma).
I can tutor at your home in the Glasgow area, at my home in the West End of Glasgow (near to Partick, Kelvinhall and Hillhead subways), or online via Zoom for students based anywhere in the UK.
I have a first class BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics and its Applications from the University of Sussex. When friends asked me how I managed to get a first in my degree, I'm afraid I could only offer a traditional answer - hard work, and a fair amount of it. Maths is one of the hardest subjects to bluff your way through, and although it's possible to scrape by with a passing acquaintance of the concepts involved, you will never do particularly well without a deeper understanding of the subject. However, this shouldn't be taken as a cause for despair - far from it! With a proper understanding of the subject, a real empathy with the "why" rather than the "how", mathematics not only becomes far more interesting but also easier. I always aim to help students see the bigger picture and how the disparate parts of your course syllabus fit together.
Teaching Experience:
I have several years of recent experience of teaching A level Maths, Further Maths and Physics at a school in the south of England. While living in England, I have tutored students from across Brighton and Hove (and occasionally beyond), and have a good understanding of the common barriers to success that students encounter and how to help overcome them.
Tutoring Approach:
Everyone's tutoring needs are different. To make sure that I can offer you the help that you need, I usually start by arranging a visit to you at your home. For students living with parents or carers, this is an ideal chance to meet with everyone and make sure that we are all happy with the arrangements we come to. The topics we can discuss include general points (why are you considering tutoring? What would you like to get out of the experience?) and more practical issues (are you studying Highers/Advanced Highers, A Levels or taking the IB Diploma? Which exam board are you studying? If studying Further Mathematics, which options are you taking?). There is no charge for this first meeting.
If we are all happy to proceed, we can discuss the timing and frequency of tutoring sessions.
I also tutor online using Zoom - this is easy to instal and configure, and I can help you get set up with this. There is no restriction to your location with this option.

I'm expert with online teaching software, including my own for teaching vectors.
I'm passionate about one-to-one teaching, which I've been doing full-time for 15 years. I very much look forward to working with you.
I'm available for a free meeting any time today, if you'd like to chat to find out more.
Best wishes

Teaching Experience:
I've taught privately over many years, and had extensive contracts for one-to-one work at many schools in Letchworth and, most recently, a 6th form college in Brighton (Kings).
I'm expert at using graphical software to teach online.
I'm experienced in teaching maths at all levels of primary and secondary schooling (UK Key Stages 1 to 5).
GCSE Maths and GCSE Additional Maths, A-level Maths and A-level Further Maths, including mechanics, decision maths, and statistics.
Recent experience with all exam boards: Edexcel, OCR and AQA. For A level, GCSE and IGCSE.
Tutoring Approach:
Students often struggle with maths at school because of misconceptions that are particular to them, and difficult to rectify in a whole class setting, and which lead to the student losing confidence. One-to-one tuition can be an excellent way to address these misconceptions. and enable the student to re-connect with their enjoyment of the subject.
As a psychology graduate (before studying maths at university level), I have a fascination with how students themselves will approach a maths problem, and I'm good at allowing them to explore and develop their own ideas. I find they almost always have energy and enthusiasm for, say, a ratio or algebra problem, if they are allowed to explore it with appropriate visual imagery.

Personal Description:
I am an experienced and friendly Maths teacher and tutor who has always had a love of the subject and a vocation to helping students grow in confidence and achieve their potential. With over 35 years of one-to-one tutoring experience and classroom teaching from Year 7 to Year 13, I have worked with all abilities - from students who find Maths challenging and intimidating, to those who are confident and aiming for top grades. I am patient, approachable and supportive, and I love seeing the change in students as they grow to realise that they can succeed in Maths.
I am a father of 2 grown up kids living in Bridgnorth for 30 years with my wife and my lovely border collie Betsy. I enjoy walking the dog, riding my motorbike and playing squash.
Teaching Experience:
I have tutored Maths for 35 years and have taught across KS3, GCSE and A-Level, including two years as an unqualified A-Level teacher before completing my formal training. I have supported a wide range of learners, from SEN students to high achievers who have gone on to Oxford and Cambridge. My track record includes helping foundation students secure passes and stretching top-end learners towards grades 8/9 and A/A*, including a recent student who rose from a grade-4 prediction to narrowly missing a grade 9. I have also been trusted to tutor the children of several teachers at Madeley Academy, where I trained and taught. I hold an up-to-date DBS check.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that for many children a lack of confidence can be a seemingly impossible barrier to their learning. Especially with Maths. As a consequence my aim is always encouraging, personalised and results-focused. My primary aim is build self-confidence and resilience by focusing on required knowledge, problem solving strategies and understanding combined with plenty of practice and exam technique woven in. I work from the ground up, making sure there are no gaps in prior learning that can often hold students back later. I want every student to leave every lesson a better mathematician and a happier more confident person. I tutor both in-person and online, using Microsoft Teams and interactive whiteboards to demonstrate ideas clearly and work through problems together in real time.

Personal Description:
Hi, I'm Richard. Originally from Northern Ireland, I've been living and teaching in Scotland for the last 20 years.
Maths has always been a subject I've loved, and I enjoy helping young people discover that they can be successful at it too. My goal is not just to improve grades, but to help students build confidence and develop mathematical skills that will take with them after they leave school.
I believe Maths teaches much more than numbers. It develops logical thinking, problem-solving, communication and resilience, all skills that are valuable well beyond the classroom.
Every student is different, so I tailor lessons to individual needs, whether that's building confidence, addressing gaps in understanding, preparing for exams, or stretching high-attaining students towards their full potential. Students will feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and building confidence. Whether a student needs help catching up, preparing for exams, or pushing themselves towards the highest grades, I tailor my approach to suit their individual needs and goals.
Teaching Experience:
I have 15 years of experience teaching Mathematics across both the English and Scottish education systems. During this time, I have held leadership positions including three years as Assistant Head of Department and one year as Head of Department.
Having completed GCSEs and A Levels myself in Northern Ireland, I began my teaching career in a school offering GCSE and A Level qualifications. Over ten years, I taught GCSE Mathematics and A Level Mathematics, including Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics and Discrete Mathematics.
I also worked as an OCR examiner for four years, marking Mathematics and Statistics examinations. This gave me valuable insight into examination standards and what examiners are looking for in successful responses.
For the past four years, I have taught within the Scottish education system, delivering N5 Mathematics, N5 Applications of Mathematics, Higher Mathematics and Ad. Higher Statistics. I have marked for the SQA for the past five years, marking both National 5 and Higher Mathematics examinations.
My experience as both a teacher and examiner allows me to help students develop a deep understanding of Mathematics while also building the examination skills needed to achieve their potential.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that effective tutoring begins with getting to know each pupil as an individual. By identifying their strengths, areas for development and personal goals, we can create a clear plan and set achievable targets to work towards together.
In my teaching experience, I have learned that success in Maths is far more about confidence, perseverance and the right support than innate ability. Many students simply need concepts explained in a different way, the opportunity to ask questions, and the confidence to keep trying.
I encourage parents and guardians to be fully involved throughout the process. We can then ensure that pupils are making progress, building confidence and achieving the goals they have set for themselves.
I offer tuition either in person or online and am available during weekday evenings. I can tutor N5 Maths, N5 Applications of Maths, GCSE Maths, Higher Maths, or A Level Maths (Pure, Mechanics, and Statistics). Whether a pupil is looking to build confidence, address gaps in understanding, prepare for prelims/exams, or achieve the very highest grades, I provide personalised tuition designed to help them succeed.
