UK tutors for expat students: online tuition

Our tutors aren't just subject experts

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

If you're studying in a different country, it can be difficult to keep up to date with the British school and university systems. Whether you're sitting GCSEs and A-Levels, or you want to apply to the British university system, you probably can't access UK tutors as easily as you might like. That's why a MyTutorWeb tutor might right for you.

All our tutors teach online: tutors and students meet in our online classroom where they can talk and see each other. Tutors also use the virtual whiteboard to enhance their lessons with diagrams, videos and illustrations. So wherever you are in the world, you can enjoy the support of a tutor studying at a leading UK university.

A very patient tutor. Mayur will pre-plan a lesson in advance if required, this way the lesson begins exactly where you need. Response to messages is immediate and efficiency at the very highest. A most enjoyable and informative lesson. I would highly recommend this tutor to students of all levels; this was my third successful lesson.

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.

Describe the function of red blood cells and how they are suited to their function.

The primary function of red blood cells (RBCs) is to transport oxygen around the body. They contain haemoglobin, which oxygen attaches to in order to form oxyhaemoglobin. RBCs are very small in size and are flexible, which allows them access through narrow capillaries to deliver oxygen throughout the body. They do not contain nuclei (nor do they contain mitochondria or ER), allowing for more haemoglobin to be packed into the cell and therefore more oxygen to be carried within the cell. The bioconcave shape of RBCs gives them a large surface area to volume ratio, which increases the capacity of oxygen to diffuse into the cell.

How do you combine resistors is series and parallel?

In a series circuit each resistor will have the same current passing through it. If we assume that the wires connecting the resistors have no resistance, then the total potential difference, V, is given by Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law; V=V₁+V₂+V₃+… Using Ohm’s Law, V=IR, we get IR=IR₁+IR₂+IR₃+… as the current is the same in each resistor we can cancel them out to get; R=R₁+R₂+R₃+… Basically if you have 2 or more resistors in series the total resistance is simply the sum of each resistance. Combining resistances in parallel is a bit more complicated; in a parallel circuit each resistor will have the same potential difference, but the current flowing through them will not necessarily be the same. If we start with the conservation of charge we get; I=I₁+I₂+I₃+… using Ohm’s Law again gives us V/R=V/R₁+V/R₂+V/R₃+… and as V is the same for all the resistors we get 1/R=1/R₁+1/R₂+1/R₃+… If you have 2 or more resistors in parallel the reciprocal of the resistance (1 over the resistance) is the sum of the reciprocals of each resistance.

How does the heart work to pump blood around the body?

Firstly, I would ensure that the student understands the basics concepts of atrial systole, ventricular syotle and diastole and the pathway of the blood around the heart. Then I would further explain the concepts of electical activity in the heart including the sinoatrial node, atioventricular node, the Bundle of His and the Purkinjie fribres. I would encourage the student to attempt to formulate an answer to a past paper using their understand of heart function and help them to put key words that examiners are looking for in their answer. I have written an example of how I would answer an exam question of this nature below: The heart is myogenic meaning that the electircal impulse,which stimulates the heart muscle to contract, originates from the muscle tissue itself in an area called the sinoatrial node (SAN). The SAN is located in the right atrium of the heart. From here the electrical impulse spreads across the right atrium, causing it to depolarise, contract and force blood into the right ventricle, until it reaches the atioventricular node (AVN). At the AVN, the electrical impulse is delayed from entering the Bundle of His so that the atria can fully contract. Once, this has occured the electrical impulse passes down the Bundle of His and into the Purkinjie fibres which spread through and cause depolarisation of the ventricles and hence cau the ventricles to contract. Blood is forced into the pulmonary artery and the aorta, where it may travel to the lungs and the rest of the body respectively.

What is the cosine rule and how do I use it?

The cosine rule, a²=b²+c²-2bccosA, where a, b, & c are the sides of a triangle and A is the angle opposite side a, is the general version of Pythagoras' Theorem and applies to any triangle, not just right angled triangles. The cosine rule should be used when you encounter a problem involving all 3 sides of a triangle and 1 internal angle. For example you are given the length of 2 sides and the angle between them and you are asked to find the length of the third side.
