They'll help you by passing on the tips and tricks they used to do well in their exams. And because you'll meet your tutor in our online learning space, there's no need to spend time travelling.

Katrina has been tutoring me since November for my A Level Biology exams. She has really helped me as I was previously achieving D's and E's in my classes, but have since improved so much that have been getting A's and A*'s in past papers! Very kind and understanding, would definitely recommend!

Thanks so much for the great tutorial! A first lesson must be always difficult but Yamato seems to have found that your tutorial was very useful and he is looking forward to the next one.

Thank you Chris for yet another brilliant tutorial. I can't believe how far did Adrian get in his Spanish since starting it with you from scratch just a few months ago. You are a brilliant teacher and you've singlehandedly led Adrian to his French gcse and we have full confidence in you doing the same with Spanish.

Srishti has supported Eddie in both English and Geography for the last 6 weeks. She has been unfailingly reliable and flexible with session times. Eddie has really enjoyed her lessons and she has engaged him with the subjects and supported him with areas he didn't understand. Eddie was able to go into his exams with a confidence he just didn't have prior to her tutorials. I cannot thank her enough for her commitment and enthusiasm and would highly recommend Srishti to everyone.

What sort of things do you cover with your students?

Usually we cover both subject knowledge and exam technique, although that can change depending on each individual student. Then we go through diagrams, and they ask questions, and we go from there.

How is MyTutor different from school?

Lots of students say that the classes are too big in school, or that they don't have time to ask teachers after lessons. In my tutorials, we take time to explore things in a little in a bit more detail.

What happens in a typical tutorial?

I always look up the board my students are taking so the lessons are really relevant. Then we go through past papers or set texts, whatever the student finds helpful.

How do you explain tricky concepts in your tutorials?

I use the shared whiteboard. We make diagrams together and label them, and often the student prints it off because they know it's right and they completely understand it.

Do you have any success stories?

After tutoring one girl went and told all her friends the new explanation I gave her. And she was so excited about what she wrote in the exam she emailed me immediately afterwards.

Can you help with last-minute revision?

There was one girl who had her exam on Monday. She wanted tuition on Friday, Saturday and Sunday beforehand. It was very intense, but she said the exam went well.

How should I analyse a book or play?

Prose and drama are great fun to analyse, often because there's so much to choose from! Your analysis will be different depending on whether you are given a short extract, or whether you have to discuss the entire novel or play. With a short extract, you should contextualise the extract by explaining where in the text it is from, in order to show that you understand the importance of that extract in that part of the play or novel. However, when you write an answer discussing the whole text, you should pick important 'moments' from different sections of the text to ensure you have a balance of analysis from the beginning, middle, and end. In both of these types of question, you should show that you understand the 'arc' of the text; in the extract question by saying whereabouts it is from, and in the whole text question by showing that you understand how themes, characters and the plot change and develop. Much like analysing poetry, your paragraph structure should use PCQA (point, context, quote, analysis), so that you're getting the most out of the quote that you're using. Choose quotes that allow you to analyse in greater detail, such as those that use particular similes or motifs that are used throughout the play or novel. Also, if you are discussing a piece of drama, make sure that you show that you understand that it is a different form than prose, for example by mentioning stage directions, or how the playwright uses costume, lighting, music, and staging to emphasise a certain point or mood in the play.

How would I analyse a poem?

Analysing poetry is a little bit different to analysing prose or drama and you can show that you understand this in your essay answer. Use PCQA (point, context, quote, analysis) as the structure to your answer; the point of using context is just to briefly say where in the poem you have taken the quote from. This is quite important because when you analyse a poem you should generally go through it chronologically, and contextualising your quotes signposts this to your teacher or examiner. When constructing an answer that analyses a poem, you should choose a few key points, such as discussion of nature, or gender, or the representation of an issue, such as death or poverty, and then find quotes that back up those points. This makes sure that your answer is led by points rather than quotes, which creates a stronger answer. You should also try to discuss poetic techniques in your analysis, such as rhyme and rhythm, to illustrate your understanding of the form of poetry. For example, you could discuss the use of rhyming couplets and how that ties in to the meaning of the poem, as it could suggest harmony and partnership, or, on the other hand, could suggest monotonous repetition. The rhythm of a poem is also important, such as Shakespeare's common use of iambic pentameter. Whilst recognising what rhythm the poet is using is helpful, you should also notice whether the poet changes their technique. For example, if a poet uses a regular iambic pentameter, and then suddenly changes to a monosyllabic line, it's important and perhaps signifies a change to the direction of a poem. Finally, choosing your quotes well will help you enormously. In an exam, you'll only have a short amount of time to write an answer, so choosing one quote that you can analyse in a lot of detail will save you a lot more time (and get you some good marks :) ) rather than choosing three different quotes that you can only analyse a little bit.

Explain why hydrogen bonding occurs between water molecules

Water molecules have a molecular formula of H2O. The O-H bond in water is a polar bond. This is because there is a big difference in electronegativity between the oxygen and the water. It is known that oxygen is very electronegative, therefore it attracts the electrons creating a polar bond. This means the oxygen is slightly negatively charged and the hydrogen is slightly positively charged. This allows for hydrogen bonding to occur between oxygens and hydrogens of different water molecules. Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force and this means it directly affects the physical properties of the molecule.

Solve x^2 + 15x = - 50

1. x² + 15 x + 50 = 0 (rearrange by adding 50 to both sides) 2. (x + 10)(x + 5) = 0 (factorise the quadratic equation) 3. x + 10 = 0 or x + 5 = 0 (for the above to equal zero, at least one of the bracketed terms must equal zero) 4. x = -10 or x = -5 (solving the two equations that result from step 3) 5. The solution is x = -10, x = -5

Explain the difference between marginal returns to factor and returns to scale? 

The short-run is defined as the period during which one cannot vary at least one of the factors of production, i.e. at least one factor of production is fixed. The long-run is defined as the period during which one can vary all of the factors of production, i.e. all factors of production are variable. Marginal returns to a factor is the increase in output that results from the addition of one extra unit of the specified factor of production, whilst keeping all other factors fixed. This is a short-run concept. Returns to scale refers to the rate by which output increases if all inputs are increased by the same factor. This is a long-run concept.
