What every parent should know about OCR AS Economics.
OCR AS Level Economics is a standalone qualification awarded by OCR, one of the UK's major exam boards. It introduces students to microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the analytical skills required for A2 and beyond.
OCR AS Level Economics is a one-year qualification for students aged 16-17. It sits within the OCR A-Level Economics pathway and can be taken as a standalone award or as the first year of the full A-Level.
OCR AS Economics is assessed entirely by written examination, with no coursework. Students are graded A to E. Papers test knowledge, application, analysis, and evaluation using data-response and essay questions.
OCR AS Economics exams are sat in the May and June exam series each year. Most students begin structured revision and past-paper practice several months before the exam window opens.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Your tutor identifies exactly which OCR Economics topics are holding your child's grade back and builds every session around closing those gaps first.
Real past-paper technique
Students work through timed OCR AS Economics past papers and mark schemes so they learn exactly how to structure answers for maximum marks.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, parents receive a short progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what comes next.
A rigorous introduction to economic thinking at A-Level.
OCR AS Level Economics is a qualification set by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR). It covers core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and is studied by Year 12 students across the UK and internationally.
Assessment is entirely exam-based across two written papers. OCR grades the qualification on a scale from A to E. Results feed directly into the full OCR A-Level Economics pathway or support university applications as a standalone award.
Every Tuitional lesson follows the exact OCR AS Economics syllabus your child's school uses, covering the precise topics and question types that appear on their papers. Nothing drifts from the real course.
What a one-to-one OCR AS Economics lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a four-phase structure: recap what was missed, teach the target topic, apply it to real OCR past-paper questions, then review and set next steps. No wasted time.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with a short check on the previous session's homework and asks two or three targeted questions to spot any lingering misconceptions before moving forward.
Example: The student is asked to explain the difference between a shift in demand and a movement along the demand curve, using a real-world trigger such as a rise in income.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the session's core concept using diagrams, worked examples, and the precise OCR mark-scheme language students need to score evaluation marks.
Example: Teaching the price elasticity of supply (OCR Component 1 topic), the tutor draws and annotates supply curves, explains determinants, and models how to write a full analytical paragraph.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to OCR past-paper questions
The student attempts timed OCR AS Economics past-paper questions while the tutor observes, then they review the mark scheme together to understand exactly where marks are awarded or lost.
Example: The student answers a 15-mark OCR Component 2 essay on the effects of a minimum wage, then the tutor annotates the response against the official mark scheme.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what improved in the session, sets a focused homework task aligned to the next OCR topic, and logs notes ready for the parent progress report.
Example: Homework set as two short-answer OCR-style data-response questions on market failure, to be submitted before the next session for tutor feedback.
After the lesson
Parents receive a written session note covering what was taught, which OCR topics improved, and what homework was set. Session recordings are available to review at any time, and the tutor's detailed notes are saved to the student's resource library.

The qualification that builds economic reasoning for A2 and university.
OCR AS Level Economics is set by OCR, one of the UK's leading exam boards. It introduces students to microeconomics and macroeconomics through written exams graded A to E, typically studied in Year 12.
The AS qualification can stand alone or feed into the full OCR A-Level. Strong results demonstrate analytical and evaluative skills that universities value highly across economics, business, and social science courses.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for AS Level Economics.
My son's OCR Economics grades jumped from a D to a B after just six weeks of one-to-one sessions. The tutor knew the exact mark-scheme language OCR wants and made sure my son used it every time. Brilliant service.
The tutor was always prepared, always on time, and always sent a short note after each lesson. As a parent, that level of communication made a huge difference to my peace of mind.
I used to dread the 15-mark essay questions on OCR Economics papers. After a few sessions I actually knew how to structure evaluation paragraphs properly. My confidence in the exam room is completely different now.
We tried two other tutoring services before Tuitional. The difference in subject knowledge and preparation was immediate. My daughter went into her OCR AS exams feeling genuinely ready.
