What every parent should know about OCR A Level Maths.
OCR A Level Mathematics is a two-year qualification for students aged 16 to 18, assessed through three written papers. Strong algebra and problem-solving skills are essential to achieve top grades.
OCR A Level Mathematics is a post-16 qualification set by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations. It covers pure mathematics, statistics, and mechanics, and prepares students for university courses in STEM, economics, and related fields.
OCR A Level Maths is graded A* to E. Assessment is entirely examination-based across three papers, with no coursework component. Mark scheme precision matters greatly, so students must show clear working to secure full marks.
OCR A Level Maths exams are sat in the June series at the end of Year 13. Many students begin targeted preparation from the start of Year 12 to build the algebraic fluency and exam technique the papers demand.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Every session targets the specific OCR topics holding your child's grade back, not a generic chapter order.
Real past-paper technique
Tutors work through timed OCR past papers and mark schemes so students learn exactly how to present working for maximum marks.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, parents receive a written progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what comes next.
The A Level that opens doors to STEM, finance, and beyond.
OCR A Level Mathematics is awarded by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR), one of the UK's leading exam boards. It is typically studied over two years by students aged 16 to 18 in Year 12 and Year 13.
Assessment comprises three two-hour written papers: two pure mathematics papers and one applied paper covering both statistics and mechanics. Grades run from A* to E, with no coursework component, making exam technique and mark scheme awareness critical.
Tuitional tutors work to the exact OCR A Level Mathematics syllabus (H240), ensuring every lesson maps to the real paper your child will sit. Nothing drifts from the specification.
What a one-to-one OCR A Level Maths lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, and review. Your child practises exam-style questions every single lesson.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with a short diagnostic to check what the student retained from the previous session and identifies any lingering gaps before moving forward.
Example: Three quick questions on integration by parts from last session to confirm the student can apply the method independently.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the new concept clearly, using worked examples and questioning to check understanding at every step rather than lecturing.
Example: OCR H240 topic on parametric equations, covering differentiation of parametric forms and converting between parametric and Cartesian equations.
- 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 mark-scheme technique and correct working presentation.
Example: OCR A Level Paper 1 (Pure) question requiring proof by contradiction, with the tutor reviewing mark-scheme requirements for each step shown.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, sets targeted practice questions for before the next session, and logs a progress note visible to the parent.
Example: Three OCR-style binomial expansion questions set as homework, with the tutor specifying exactly which mark-scheme steps to show.
After the lesson
You receive a parent report covering what was taught, how your child performed and what comes next — and homework is set in the portal with a due date before the next session.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for A Level Maths.
My son was struggling with OCR A Level Maths in Year 12 and we were worried he wouldn't make his university offer. After six weeks of sessions with his Tuitional tutor, his confidence completely changed. He understood parametric equations and integration in a way his school lessons never managed to get across. We're so relieved we started when we did.
Booking was simple and the tutor replied quickly. My daughter now looks forward to her Maths sessions, which is something I never expected to say. Her exam technique has improved noticeably.
I was getting lost in the OCR pure papers every time. My tutor broke each topic down step by step and made me do past-paper questions every lesson. My mock grade went from a D to a B.
We needed flexible timing because of my son's football schedule. Tuitional sorted sessions around his week with no fuss. His statistics marks have jumped significantly since starting.
OCR A Level Maths tutoring, your questions answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?Do your tutors know the OCR A Level Maths syllabus specifically?+
Yes. Every tutor is matched to the exact board and qualification. For OCR A Level Mathematics, that means the H240 specification, including its three-paper structure, applied content split, and OCR's mark-scheme conventions.
?How often should my child have OCR A Level Maths sessions?+
Most families start with one or two sessions per week. Students closer to exams or with specific topic gaps often increase to three sessions. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on your child's current level and target grade.
?Can I switch tutors if the first match doesn't work out?+
Yes. If the first tutor pairing doesn't feel right, we offer a free re-match at no extra cost. Getting the right fit matters more to us than a fast placement.
?What happens in a trial lesson?+
The trial is a full live session with your matched tutor. They'll run a short diagnostic, cover a topic relevant to your child's current school work, and set a small homework task. You'll see exactly how sessions work before committing.
?Does Tuitional cover both AS and A2 OCR Maths?+
Yes. Tutors cover both AS Level and the full A Level (A2) for OCR Mathematics. Whether your child is in Year 12 building foundations or in Year 13 preparing for the final papers, the lessons are tailored accordingly.
?How much do OCR A Level Maths tutoring sessions cost?+
A Level sessions start from AED 65 per hour. You can pay per session or buy a package with no lock-in and cancel anytime. For a full breakdown, visit the Tuitional tutoring packages page.
