OCR AS Level Accounting: what parents should know.
OCR AS Level Accounting is a standalone qualification that introduces students to financial and management accounting. It's widely respected by UK universities and international institutions accepting British curriculum results.
OCR AS Level Accounting is a Year 12 qualification on the British curriculum pathway. It builds the financial literacy and accounting principles students need for A2 progression or direct university entry in business-related fields.
OCR AS Level Accounting is assessed through written examinations. Grades run from A to E, with U for ungraded. Marks are awarded against detailed mark schemes, so accurate technique and clear workings are essential across both papers.
OCR AS Accounting examinations are sat in the May/June series each academic year. Most students begin focused preparation in the second half of Year 12, working through past papers and mark schemes in the months before the exam session.
A group class cannot cover every gap.
Lessons built around the actual gaps
Your tutor identifies exactly which OCR AS Accounting topics are holding your child's grade back and targets every session there.
Real past-paper technique, every session
Students work through genuine OCR past papers and mark schemes under timed conditions so exam technique becomes second nature before results day.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, you receive a tutor note and progress update so you always know exactly where your child stands on the OCR syllabus.
The stepping stone to A2 and university business courses.
OCR AS Level Accounting is set by Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR), a leading UK awarding body. It is designed for students in Year 12, typically aged 16 to 17, following the British curriculum or an equivalent international pathway.
Assessment is through two written papers, both sat in the May/June exam series. Grades are awarded on an A to E scale. Strong performance opens direct routes to A2 Accounting and to university courses in finance, business, and economics.
Every Tuitional session follows the OCR AS Accounting specification code exactly, covering the same topic order, command words, and mark-scheme language your child will face on the day of the exam.
What a one-to-one OCR AS Accounting lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, review. The same tested format runs every time, so students build momentum rather than starting from scratch each week.
Book a trial lessonA typical 60-minute session
- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with a short check on the previous session's topic, asking two or three targeted questions to confirm what has stuck and where a quick re-visit is needed before moving on.
Example: The tutor asks the student to explain the difference between a trade receivable and a prepayment, spotting any gap in understanding from the previous lesson on current assets.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the session's main concept using worked examples on the shared whiteboard, pausing to check understanding and adjusting the pace to the student's responses in real time.
Example: Working through the preparation of a statement of profit or loss from a trial balance, applying the OCR AS Accounting specification section on financial statements for sole traders.
- 25-50 min
Apply to OCR past-paper questions
The student attempts real OCR AS Accounting past-paper questions under light time pressure. The tutor annotates answers against the official mark scheme, explaining exactly how OCR awards method and accuracy marks.
Example: Completing a structured question from OCR AS Accounting Paper 2, requiring the preparation of a bank reconciliation statement and explanation of the resulting difference.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, highlights the two or three points to revisit before next time, and sets a short homework task. A session note is sent to the parent straight after the lesson ends.
Example: Homework set to complete a full control account question from an OCR specimen paper, ready for marking and discussion at the start of the next session.
After the lesson
You receive a written tutor note summarising what was taught, what the student found difficult, and what homework has been set. Progress is tracked session by session, and a monthly report gives you the broader picture of where your child stands against the OCR AS Accounting syllabus.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for AS Level tutoring.
My son was struggling badly with the financial statements unit in OCR AS Accounting. After six sessions with his Tuitional tutor, he was completing full past-paper questions confidently and his mock score jumped by two full grade boundaries. I wish we had started sooner.
The tutor matched my daughter's exact OCR syllabus from the very first session. No time was wasted on irrelevant content. The weekly notes kept me informed without me having to chase anyone. Exactly what a busy parent needs.
I always dreaded Accounting because the ledger entries never made sense to me. My Tuitional tutor broke everything down step by step and actually made it logical. I went from an E in my mock to a B in the real exam.
Flexible scheduling was the deciding factor for us. My son has a busy after-school timetable and Tuitional fitted the sessions around him without any fuss. His Accounting grade improved within the first month.
