A tutorial is your time to ask as many questions as you like. You have access to professionally designed Power Point lessons to help you with any new topics. During your lesson you will be given well structured lesson notes and carefully prepared exercises on the topic you are currently doing at school. These are to be handed in upon completion and will be marked and returned the following week for discussion. At the end of each tutorial, students are given assignments or topic tests on the work done in the tutorial to be completed and returned for marking at their next tutorial time. Students also have access to an enormous library of practise topic tests and practise exams to help them prepare for half yearly and final exams.
