Home Education Tutors: Affordable 1-to-1 Tuition

Our tutors aren't just subject experts

They’re also role models, recruited from the UK's top universities.

One advantage of home education is that you can pick your teachers yourself. Make the most of this by choosing from the brightest undergraduate tutors from around the country. Our home education tutors took GCSE and A-Level exams recently themselves (and got very impressive marks) so they understand the challenges you face. 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. You can enjoy individual lessons whenever you like, and all from the comfort of your sofa.

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.

Deduce which of Na+ and Mg2+ is the smaller ion. Explain your answer.

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a greater pull from the nucleus.

How does Steinbeck use Crook's character in Of Mice and Men to highlight racial discrimination in America.

Crook lives in a barn seperate from the others. This physical seperation signifies the effect of racial discrimination in America - Crook is marginalised in society as a result of his race. His crooked back further signifes how he has been oppressed. He is being pushed closer to the ground, fighting to stand upright in the face of adversity. Furthermore, the other characters consistently refer to Crook as a "nigger" which shows how racism is taken for granted. This further highlights how Crook is dehumainsed as a result of his race as he is denied even a name. He is further denied possessions, symbolising his disadvantage and lack of privilegdges.

How do I write a commentary on a passage ?

A passage of literature needs decoding. Always when considering a passage, Form and structure, language, context and themes should be in our minds. But I find the best way to understand the passage is to engage with it on four different planes of engagement: 1) The linguistic level- examining elements of vocabulary, grammar and syntax 2) The semantic level - what do the words mean? does one word mean several things? 3) The structural level - what are the relationships between words? how is the passage arranged to build on this relationship? 4) The cultural level- what is the text's wider meaning and context and how does this affect our reading of the text? Close reading relies on moving from the small details of the text to larger issues. Start with the words themselves before moving to the themes and ideas evoked by the passage overall. When writing the commentary carry out the opposite process to close reading. Begin with the larger issues and use the relevant details in the text as evidence.

Solve the quadratic 3x^2+11x+6=0

In order to solve the quadratic, we need to factorise it. Consider the coefficient on the x^2, its only factors are 1 and 3 so this tells us that in our factorising we will have something that looks like (x...)(3x...). All the signs are positive so we know that it will also be a case of positive numbers (x+...)(3x+...). Consider the factors of 6, by looking i can see that a combination on 3 and 2 is going to add up to get to 11 as 3x*3=9 and x*2=2x which totals 11x. Hence we have (x+3)(3x+2)=0. From that, I can show that my solutions will be x=-3, -2/3 after equating each bracket to 0.

What was the Wannsee Conference?

The Wannsee Conference (Wannseekonferenz) was a meeting that took place on the 20^th January 1942, between SS and Gestapo members and Nazi ministers. Traditionally, we consider it to be an important turning point in the history of the Holocaust, as it is generally believed that in this meeting the ‘Final Solution’ (to the ‘Jewish problem’) was decided on – to exterminate all the Jews in Europe. In this way it is seen as a necessary ‘stepping-stone’ on the straight path to the Holocaust, and the mass murder of Jews.

However it is important to be critical of this narrative. More recent works have argued that the Wannsee Conference may not have been a mere continuation of Nazi Anti-Jewish policy, and have highlighted the other factors at work. The Conference might be better explained by Nazi Germanisation policy (the fantasy of creating a new ‘German East’, which would require mass-murder of the Jews), economic pressures on the occupied territories in the east, or an attempt by members of the SS to extend their control over the other members of the Nazi party at the meeting.

How should I structure my History essays?

Every history essay aims to answer a question. You may be asked to evaluate the importance of one factor, or to balance the importance of many, in an historical event. Sometimes you may be asked to ‘discuss’ a statement, and form your own argument surrounding it. In every case, making your argument clear is key. The structure of a history essay should generally be: Introduction: Here you provide important historical context, explain the question at hand, introduce your argument, and outline the themes you will discuss in the main body of the essay that support (or contradict) your argument. Main body: Here you dedicate a section to each theme that you outlined in the introduction, and go into detail on each. Throughout and at the end of each section, you must link it back to the question and explain why this theme contributes to your argument. Conclusion: Here, through quick summaries, you should bring together your sections in a way that answers the question, and demonstrates your own argument. You may wish to finish by introducing another idea or argument, related to the subject of the essay, which encourages further thinking or research.
