“My aim is for approximately three lessons a week covering topics in Algebra, Calculus, Geometry and starting with Trigonometry.

"Each lesson will have a video with several examples and explanations followed by a piece of work that the student can attempt and then mark themselves.

"The students will then be able to respond through Show My Homework or even the website and ask questions where needed."
