Study the easy way provides A-Level Accounting resources

My name is Helen. I am an experienced A-Level Accounting teacher, having taught the subject for many years. I have personally produced and presented all the videos on the website. I know which bits are difficult, and I know how to give you an explanation that's clear and concise. I don't waffle and I don't go off on a tangent. Just straightforward explanation, that you can watch and pause if you want to make some notes, or simply give something a bit of thought.

My videos all follow the same format. At the start of the video, I list and describe what will be covered in the video. The explanation follows, using slides that contain the key points or that illustrate a calculation. At the end of the video, I briefly recap what's been covered. Most videos are about 15 minutes long, but this varies depending on the amount of content that's covered in a particular video.

Lots of worksheets are provided too! These worksheets will help you practise questions relating to particular topics, and there are lots of revision worksheets too. All come with answers and explanations.

Like Multiple Choice quizzes? I've provided those too...
