My daughter has learnt more in this one lesson with you than she ever has with her private tutor. She is so happy and her only regret is she didn't do it sooner. Thank you

Oliver has been really helpful. Knowledgeable, well researched and prepared for the sessions. He is patient and understanding and takes time to explain the solution to me if I have struggled with it.

What our amazing tutors have to say
Brimming with up-to-date curriculum knowledge and always willing to help
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 any questions after lessons. In my Online Lessons, we take time to explore things in a little in a bit more detail.

What happens in a typical Online Lesson?
I always look up the board my students are taking so the Online 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 Online Lessons?
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 prepare for an unseen?
The unseen part of the exam tends to want to test your knowledge of literary devices, so before the exam it's good to brush up on those. Even if it seems impossible to understand the meaning of an unseen at first (especially if it's a poem), don't freak yourself out by trying to understand everything after reading it the first time. Read the poem a couple of times, and then zoom into certain sections (first stanzas, then single lines). Highlight anything that stands out to you and think of how a certain word/ technique has been used to create a mood/ atmosphere or add to the poem in any way. Eventually, by zooming in to little bits, you may end up understanding the poem as a whole.

What should I do in a speaking exam if I don't know a word?
Don't freak out - if there's a specific word you want to say but can't remember/ don't know what it is in Spanish, think of a way you can talk around it using the words you do know (that way, the teacher who is assessing you can guess what you're trying to say and help you out a bit). And try to avoid speaking English if you can.
For example, if you wanted to say 'manzana' (apple) but couldn't remember the word, you could talk around it by saying something like 'no puedo recordar la palabra, pero es una fruta y si comes esta fruta cada día, no tendrás que ir al medico' (I can't remember the word, but it's a fruit and if you eat this fruit every day, you won't have to go to the doctor).

How can I compare two or more novels in the same essay?
It's important to allow yourself time to plan before you start writing. If you plan well, you'll find you can write the actual essay itself much faster and it will be clearer (less waffle!). If I have an hour to write an essay, I always use the first 15 minutes to plan, and the remaining 45 to write.
For me, either creating columns or a mind map really help when having to compare two novels/ poems/ etc. If you think of a main point from one novel that you want to talk about (i.e. a major theme), see if the theme appears in both novels and write about, for example, how each of the authors tackle that theme in their individual books. It's always good to say a little comment/ evaluate how well the authors approached the theme as well.

How should I structure an essay question in my Spanish exam?
I find it helpful drawing out a table/ columns to help structure my essay. If I have an hour to write an essay in an exam, I always allow myself 15 minutes to plan it with this method, and 45 minutes to write it. Sometimes it might be useful to write your whole essay out and once you've finished, then write the introduction so that it is based on everything you have written and gives the essay a solid, clear intro discussing your line of argument.
If your essay is arguing a point, it is good to have a mix of for and against (but make sure which ever side you want to argue has more content). Split the arguments and counter-arguments into columns so you can visualise the structure of your essay, making sure they are relevant to the question. It is even better if you throw in a statistic/ fact into your argument to show you know your stuff.

When should I use 'por' or 'para'?
There are quite a few scenarios in which 'por/para' required. This is a common use for 'por/para':
'Para' is used when you want to say 'in order to' (to express the purpose of doing something).For example, "Esta noche, voy a estudiar duro para obtener buenas notas" (Tonight, I am going to study hard IN ORDER TO get good grades).
On the other hand, 'por' is used when you want to say something happened 'because of' something (used to express a reason why). For example, "Por culpa del profesor, no saqué buenas notas este año" (BECAUSE OF the fault of the teacher, I didn't get good grades this year).

How to integrate 5x^2?
Firstly we integrate x^2 with respect to x which is (x^3)/3 as we integrate polynomials by adding a power then dividing by that power, (x^n+1)/n+1.Then we multiply by the 5 we have from earlier which gives us (5x^3)/3.
