What every parent should know about OCR A Level Accounting.
OCR A Level Accounting is a two-year qualification for students aged 16 to 18. It combines financial accounting, management accounting, and business decision-making, assessed through written examinations.
OCR A Level Accounting is a full A Level qualification set by the OCR exam board. It covers double-entry bookkeeping, financial statements, costing methods, and business decision-making across two years of study.
The qualification is graded A* to E. Assessment is entirely examination-based, with no coursework. Students sit three written papers at the end of Year 13, each testing different areas of the accounting syllabus.
OCR A Level Accounting exams are sat in the summer exam series, typically at the end of Year 13. Many students begin structured revision and past-paper practice in the preceding autumn and spring terms.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Every session focuses on the exact topics holding your child's grade back, whether that's partnership accounts, marginal costing, or interpreting financial ratios.
Real past-paper technique
Tutors work through timed OCR past papers and mark schemes so students learn precisely how to structure answers and pick up every available mark.
Parents kept in the loop
After each session, parents receive a written progress update covering what was covered, what improved, and what the next lesson will target.
A rigorous, employer-respected qualification for aspiring finance and business students.
OCR A Level Accounting is set by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR). It is a two-year qualification for students aged 16 to 18, combining financial and management accounting with analytical business skills.
Assessment is 100% examination. Students sit three papers at the end of Year 13, graded A* to E. The papers test financial statements, management accounting, and a synoptic paper combining both strands.
Each Tuitional lesson follows the exact OCR A Level Accounting syllabus your child's school uses, so every session maps directly to the real papers they will sit.
What a one-to-one OCR A Level Accounting lesson actually looks like
Every session follows four timed phases: recap, teach, apply, and review. The structure keeps lessons purposeful and ensures nothing important is left until the exam.
Book a trial lessonA typical 60-minute session
- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three quick questions from the previous lesson to check what has stuck and identify anything that needs revisiting before moving on.
Example: The student is asked to prepare a brief income statement from memory to check their understanding of accruals and prepayments from the last session.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the chosen topic using the OCR syllabus as a guide, explaining concepts clearly and building understanding step by step before moving to application.
Example: The tutor walks through the preparation of a partners' capital and current account, linking it to the OCR syllabus topic on partnership accounts and appropriation statements.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student works through real OCR past-paper questions under timed conditions, with the tutor guiding answer structure and explaining the mark scheme after each attempt.
Example: The student attempts a multi-part OCR A Level Accounting Paper 2 question on marginal costing versus absorption costing, then reviews the mark scheme with the tutor.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises key learning points, sets a short focused homework task, and records session notes that are shared with the parent after the lesson.
Example: The student is asked to prepare a full set of limited company financial statements from a trial balance ahead of the next session.
After the lesson
Parents receive a written session report covering what was taught, how the student performed, and what homework was set. Session recordings and resources are available to review at any time through the student's account.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for A Level Accounting.
My daughter was really struggling with partnership accounts and the synoptic paper. Her Tuitional tutor broke everything down clearly and worked through past papers with her every week. She went from a D to a solid B in her mocks, and her confidence has completely changed.
We were worried about finding a tutor who actually knew the OCR syllabus specifically. Tuitional matched us within a day, and the tutor knew the exact paper structure and mark scheme inside out. Communication with parents is excellent too.
I never really understood absorption versus marginal costing until my Tuitional sessions. The tutor used real OCR questions to show me exactly how to structure my answers. My Paper 2 score improved massively.
Scheduling around school and activities was easy. We book sessions on weekends and the tutor always comes prepared with targeted questions. My son's grade jumped a full grade in one term.
OCR A Level Accounting tutoring — your questions, answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?Do your tutors know the OCR A Level Accounting syllabus specifically?+
Yes. Every Accounting tutor at Tuitional is matched to the exact board a student sits. For OCR A Level Accounting, that means your tutor knows the three-paper structure, the mark scheme conventions, and the syllabus topics inside out.
?How is OCR A Level Accounting different from AQA or Edexcel Accounting?+
OCR A Level Accounting uses its own syllabus structure and three-paper assessment model. The topic coverage is broadly similar across boards, but question styles, mark scheme language, and paper weightings differ. Our tutors are trained on the OCR papers specifically.
?What topics does OCR A Level Accounting cover?+
The OCR syllabus covers double-entry bookkeeping, financial statements for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies, management accounting including costing and budgeting, and a synoptic paper combining analytical and evaluative skills across all topic areas.
?How many sessions does my child need before their exams?+
That depends on where your child is now and how much time is left before the exam series. Many students benefit from weekly sessions throughout Year 12 and Year 13, with more frequent sessions in the final term. We'll recommend a plan after the trial lesson.
?Can sessions fit around my child's school timetable?+
Yes. Tuitional sessions are fully flexible. You choose the days and times that work for your family, and you can adjust the schedule each week. Most students in the GCC book sessions on weekday evenings or at the weekend.
?How much does OCR A Level Accounting tutoring cost?+
A Level tutoring with Tuitional starts from AED 65 per hour. You can pay per session or choose a package with no lock-in. Visit our tutoring packages page for a full breakdown of current rates and options.
