MyWorks provides a cheap alternative to a private tutor
Thousands of parents are paying upwards of £25 an hour for private tuition. Offering comprehensive coverage of the OCR, Edexcel and AQA GCSE Maths specifications, MyWorks provides an affordable alternative with over 180 practice assessments, fun self-marking quizzes and interactive revision lessons.
As well as testing students on what they know, MyWorks teaches students what they don't know with recap screens after every wrong answer and feedback panels. MyWorks can be accessed 24/7 to suit the student and each quiz can be repeatedly done throughout the year until the student understands the topic.
At the end of each quiz there's a printable report showing how well the student performed. You can compare all results for all topics so that it's clear which areas the student needs to focus on for revision.
Students are also able to rate their confidence at the end of a revision exercise which encourages independent learning and enables progression.
MyWorks is ideal for students of all abilities
Borderline D/C students are given the chance to learn, repeat and revise important concepts, higher-ability students can push towards the top grades by using the extension quizzes, and Y11s focusing on the exam can use the exam preparation activities and revision lessons.
• For students who learn by listening, there are audio clips in each quiz, so equations and calculations can be described aurally.
• For students who learn by doing, there are kinaesthetic activities such as drag-and-drop and click-to-link, which fuel participation.
• For students who learn by seeing, full working out is shown for each question and there are memorable animations breaking down difficult concepts.
Short quizzes fit well with students' attention span, with bite-sized topics making learning easier to digest.
