How we teach H432
Concepts are explained with clear diagrams first, then the calculations, then the exact wording the mark scheme accepts.
Practical and data-handling questions are practised every week, because they carry marks that many students drop.
Long-answer questions are planned in class so your child writes complete, mark-earning explanations.
Where students usually lose marks
- Calculations with units and significant figures
- Practical and experimental skills questions
- Explaining in precise key terms
- Linking ideas across topics
“Full past papers, marked properly, with every mistake explained. His confidence in Maths and Physics went up a lot before the exams.”

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current OCR A Level Chemistry A syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (For teaching from 2015). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
How many lessons a week does my child need?
Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
