MathsWatch is usually given out by schools to students taking GCSE Maths at both Foundation and Higher Levels, however I can also provide this to my Bristol tutees.

There is a link for more information about MathsWatch on the Resources page.

I have found many Secondary Schools in Bristol do not issue homework to students or, for those that do, they do not issue enough homework.  Studying for GCSE maths takes practice and practice is what homework gives tutees.

For GCSE Maths there are some great resources freely available on the internet. Examples of worksheets and notes I use for GCSE maths tuition are located on the Resources page.

The Importance & Benefits of Private Tutoring

The value of a schedule

Before you even begin to think about the process of studying, you must develop a schedule. If you don’t have a schedule or plan for studying, then you will not have any way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected comes up. A good, well thought out schedule can be a lifesaver. It’s up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs, revise it if necessary, and most important, follow it.

A schedule saves time

All schedules should be made with the idea that they can be revised. A good schedule keeps you from wandering off course. A good schedule, if properly managed, assigns time where time is needed, but you’ve got to want to do it!

Making every hour count

A schedule should take into account every class, laboratory, lecture, social event, and other work in which you engage. There are givens such as classes and so on that have to be incorporated. You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will use it. Make a weekly schedule and block off the 24 hour day in one hour increments. Indicate times for classes, labs, lectures, social, and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping each day. With what is left over, plan time for study. This gives you a rough road map of the time available. Of course, you can revise your schedule as circumstances warrant.

After reviewing this guide for a few days, students should delete information to make a more condensed outline. This second outline will contain main ideas from the first outline, but it should not contain the supporting lists and details.

Students use this condensed outline as a practice sheet. With a pencil, students should write in the details that correspond with each main idea. Students should brainstorm to remember all the facts and lists that they can recall from the first sheet. Students can print out as many practice sheets as necessary and use them until they can recall all of the necessary information.

The next step is to make another, more condensed version. This last outline will contain three or four main ideas. Students will use these very broad prompts to recall all the information that was contained on previous versions.

To create your account, click on your course and register. Then use your enrollment key for each course. If you need an enrolment key, contact me and I will send you one.

At the moment I have 36 tutees registered. Some of my tutees have attended Glasgow University, Strathclyde University, Edinburgh University and the Open University.
