Turn up with the session already built.

What tutors actually use

• The worksheet and its mark scheme. A tiered worksheet gives you an easy start and a harder finish in the same hour, without hunting for a second sheet.
• Marking against a mark scheme. Photograph a student's working and get it marked to the scheme, with the reason for every mark. Useful when a parent asks why it was not full marks.
• Retrieval quizzes. Spaced and interleaved, so a session can revisit what you covered three weeks ago rather than only today's topic.
• The topic pages. Free to read without an account: what the spec requires, where students reliably go wrong, and how it gets asked.

What is less useful one to one

The slides are built for a class with a board. In a one-to-one session you will probably use the worksheet and the mark scheme far more. That is worth knowing before you pay for anything, which is why every topic page is readable without an account.

The honest arithmetic

Pro is £8.99 a month. If it saves you twenty minutes of prep across a whole month it has paid for itself several times over at tutoring rates. Start on the free plan, which is three full bundles a month with no card, and only upgrade if it earns it.
