OCR A Level Latin — Syllabus Overview
Two papers. One demanding qualification that rewards the right preparation.
OCR A Level Latin spans prose and verse literature, language, and composition across two examined components. Students sit unseen translation, prose composition, and set text papers. Understanding the exact weighting of each component shapes every revision session.
Component 1 — Prose and Verse Literature: set texts examined through translation and analysis.
Component 2 — Language: unseen translation and prose composition from English into Latin.
Set Texts — Prescribed authors studied in depth across two years of the course.
Exam Weighting — Literature and Language components carry equal weighting at A Level.
Grading — A to E grade scale; A* awarded for exceptional combined performance.

Why OCR A Level Latin students need 1:1 tutoring
OCR A Level Latin is one of the most linguistically demanding qualifications available. The gap between classroom teaching and individual exam performance is wide. Here is what a 1:1 tutor changes, and what a well-supported student can realistically achieve.
OCR A Level Latin requires students to translate unseen Latin prose and verse accurately, produce original Latin composition, and analyse set texts from authors such as Virgil, Cicero, and Ovid.
The challenge is that each of these skills demands a different kind of practice. Unseen translation requires grammatical precision built up over time.
A 1:1 Latin tutor can diagnose the exact grammatical gaps holding a student back, rather than reteaching the whole class. For GCC families following British curriculum schools, finding a specialist OCR Latin tutor locally can be difficult. Online tutoring removes that barrier entirely.
Key takeaways
- OCR A Level Latin covers unseen translation, prose composition, and set text analysis.
- A 1:1 tutor targets the specific grammar gaps slowing a student down.
- Set text preparation benefits from guided close reading, not just vocabulary lists.
- Students in the GCC can access specialist OCR Latin tutors online with Talimat.
- Sessions are structured around past-paper practice and exam technique from the start.

Push for an AFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about OCR A Level Latin tutoring.
Answers to the questions parents and students ask most before booking their first session.
What does OCR A Level Latin cover?
OCR A Level Latin covers unseen translation from Latin prose and verse, prose composition from English into Latin, and the study of prescribed set texts from authors including Virgil, Cicero, Tacitus, and Ovid.
Do your tutors know the OCR Latin syllabus specifically?
Yes. Talimat tutors are matched based on their degree subject and exam board experience. Your Latin tutor will be familiar with OCR component structures, mark scheme expectations, and set text requirements.
How often should my child have Latin tutoring sessions?
Most A Level students benefit from one to two sessions per week. In the weeks before mocks or final exams, increasing to three sessions per week helps consolidate translation accuracy and composition technique.
Can sessions focus on one component only, such as unseen translation?
Absolutely. Sessions can be targeted at a single component if that is where the gap lies, or structured to rotate across Language and Literature components in line with your exam timetable.
Where do students in the GCC sit their OCR A Level exams?
OCR A Level exams are sat through approved exam centres. Students in the UAE can register through the British Council Dubai. Your Academic Consultant can advise on registration timelines and entry requirements.
What is the cost of OCR A Level Latin tutoring with Talimat?
A Level tutoring at Talimat starts from AED 65 per hour. There is no enrolment deposit and you can cancel at any time, with no hidden fees.
Is there a free trial available before I commit to regular sessions?
Yes. Talimat offers a free trial session so your child can meet their tutor and experience a live 1:1 session before any commitment is made.
How quickly can my child be matched with a Latin tutor?
