My 15 year old found his tutorial with Laura very useful. They covered structuring an essay (GCSE level) - she gave clear guidance and was engaging and friendly.

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 after Online 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.

Explain two disadvantages of specialisation.
Vulnerability, whether it be an employee, firm or country who specialise, producing only one good can be a risk if that industry were to collapse. An example of this is the increase in unemployment in the south of England resulting from deindustrialisation.Quality of output may in fact decrease as repetition can cause boredom and workers may start to make mistakes.

Why does excessive consumption of alcohol lead to negative externalities ?
The private consumer does not consider the effect that their excessive alcohol consumption has on a third party and so the private benefit outweighs the social benefit. There is a welfare loss to society from the over consumption and over valuing of alcohol above the socially optimal level.

How do you form the future tense in Spanish?
Great question! The future tense is really useful because it allows us to talk about future events and so can be included in almost any GCSE writing task!We can use the future tense to talk about events happening tomorrow (mañana) or in 2021 (dos mil veintiuno).To form the future tense, we first need to know the infinitive of the verb. The infinitive is the verb in its simplest form before any endings have been added or changed. For example, hablar (to speak), comer (to eat) and vivir (to live) are all infinitives. We can spot infinitives because they end in -ar, -er or -ir.Once we know the infinitive, we add on the future tense endings onto the end of the infinitive. These are: é, ás, á, emos, éis, án. All except the 'we' first person plural ending, have an accent. Now let's repeat the endings together to help remember then.So for example, 'I will live' would be vivir + é = viviré.Now your turn to try one - how would you say 'We will go to Spain?' - Ir + emos = Iremos, 'Mi familia y yo iremos a España'. Fantastic, well done! Any parts which you find tricky to understand, or any questions?

How can I differentiate prokatyotic and eukaryotic cells?
The main difference between these two cell types is that eukaryotic cells have their DNA collected inside the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells lack nuclei. Instead, they have a circular piece of DNA called the nucleoid anywhere in the cytoplasm, and other smaller, ring-shaped DNA pieces called plasmids.There are, of course, many other ways to tell them apart. For example, the organelles they contain (prokaryotes lack many organelles that are normal in eukaryotes, like the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria or the Golgi apparatus), or their level of organisation (prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, like bacteria; whereas eukaryotes can organise into multicellular living beings, like plants, fungi or us!).

I uppiter currum celerrime delevit. nam timebat ne terra incenderetur (line 8 ): why did Jupiter destroy the chariot?
Literal translation: Jupiter destroyed the chariot quickly. For he was fearing lest the earth might be burned.Less literal: Jupiter destroyed the earth quickly as he was afraid that the earth would be burned.

Complete the square for x^2 + x - 6.
First, let us separate the constant term and complete the square for (x^2 + 1x).
x^2 + x - 6 = (x^2 + x) - 6
Now, let us halve the coefficient of x.
0.5 of +1 = +0.5
Write (x )^2 with half the coefficient of x before the end bracket then subtract the square of half the coefficient of x.
(x^2 + x) - 6 = [(x + 0.5)^2 - 0.5^2] - 6 = (x + 0.5)^2 - 0.25 - 6 = (x + 0.5)^2 - 6.25,
which is the required completed square form (x + p)^2 + q.
Often, a GCSE question will ask what the minimum point of the graph is - and the minimum value of y is -6.25, and occurs when (x + 0.5)^2 = 0 so x=-0.5. Hence, the minimum point is (-0.5, -6.25).
