Specialist OCR A-Level Biology A (H420) tuition with AIIMS-trained faculty. Live small-batch classes mapped to the six OCR modules, the 12 Practical Activity Groups, and the synoptic Paper 3 that pulls every module together. (We also support OCR Biology B "Advancing Biology", H422.) Open worldwide.

We teach to the exact assessment model your exams use — not a generic syllabus.
2 hours 15 minutes · 100 marks
Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 — the processes that keep cells and organisms running: foundations in biology, exchange and transport, communication, homeostasis and energy.
2 hours 15 minutes · 100 marks
Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6 — biodiversity, evolution and disease, and genetics, evolution and ecosystems, built on the same practical and foundational core.
1 hour 30 minutes · 70 marks
A synoptic paper drawing on all six modules at once — the strongest test of whether a student can connect ideas across the whole course.
Exam series: Linear — three papers in the May/June series at the end of Year 13.
Practical Endorsement (Pass / Not Classified)
12 Practical Activity Groups (PAGs) completed over the two years and teacher-assessed for the separate Practical Endorsement. The written papers test practical understanding throughout, so we coach the PAG techniques and the exam questions built on them.
Which board is this for? Schools entering OCR Biology A (H420). If your spec lists six modules and a "Unified biology" paper, this is your board.

Paper 3 (1h30, 70 marks) is synoptic — a single question can pull from any of the six modules. We teach the course so connections are built in from the start, then run targeted synoptic-synthesis and unfamiliar-data sessions in Year 13 so students are not seeing cross-module questions for the first time in the exam.
Yes. Biology B is OCR's context-led alternative with a different paper structure. Tell us which one your school enters and we map the tuition to that exact spec — most OCR centres use Biology A (H420).
