Specialist tutors for the Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations GCSE English specification. Get exam-specific support — mark scheme technique, specification gaps, past paper practice.
OCR is the third major English exam board and is used by a significant proportion of schools, particularly in the South East and Midlands. It runs two A-Level chemistry specs (A and B Salters), and its Computer Science spec is highly regarded for rigour. OCR mark schemes tend to accept a broader range of phrasing than AQA.
OCR GCSE English Language and Literature are structured differently to AQA and Edexcel. Tutors who know OCR's assessment objectives help students target the specific analytical skills — particularly AO5 (craft and structure) — that carry the most marks.
