How much does an OCR GCSE Chemistry tutor cost?
Each tutor sets their own price, shown on their profile before you book. Your first lesson is free, so you can try a tutor before committing.
When should we start tuition?
Ideally at the start of Year 10 or Year 11, so there is time to cover the course and practise past papers. A few months of focused lessons before the exams can still lift a grade.
Where can I find OCR past papers?
Past papers and mark schemes are free on the OCR website. A tutor can choose the right papers for your tier and go through the mark scheme with you.
