What is Yipiyap On Demand?
We’d better start here - what even is Yipiyap On Demand?
Yipiyap On Demand is a video peer tutoring service. Our Yipiyaps have only recently sat exams themselves, so they know exactly how it feels - they’re experts at being students in the digital age. We’ve got content on a range of Maths and English topics at different levels of complexity, plus general Tips for Success videos which cover wellbeing, study skills, revision, and exams.
Schools and colleges arrange access to Yipiyap On Demand centrally, so their learners can use it for free.
For a given topic, we might have a few videos by different Yipiyaps. Everyone has a different learning style, so that means you can try a few out and find a tutor who works well for you!

How is the Yipiyap On Demand site organised?
Areas of the site
The site has five main sections:
GCSE Resit/Foundation Maths: generally, that’s grades 1-4.
GCSE Higher Maths: generally, that’s grades 5-9.
GCSE Resit/Foundation English: generally, that’s grades 1-4.
GCSE Higher English: generally, that’s grades 5-9.
Tips for Success: our Yipiyaps have all been there and done that, so they know how to get through revision and exams (and still be smiling on the other side!)
Bird Rating
We group our videos by what we call “Bird Rating” - this roughly equates to how much you need to know about a topic before you start watching the video. If you ever find you’re struggling to follow a video, it might be worth trying to find other videos on the same topic with lower Bird Rating to help lay the foundations for your understand.

How do I find the video I need?
There are a few different ways to find videos on our site: using the search bar, browsing by Yipiyap, browsing by bird rating, or browsing by topic.
We think browsing by topic usually works best. On each page (Maths, English, etc.), you can choose to “Browse by topic”.
You’ll be taken to a page with all the topics for that subject - pick one, and get started! If you still can’t find a video that answers your question, then don’t worry - put in a request for one of our Yipiyaps.
How do I request a Yipiyap On Demand video?
Our Yipiyaps are always working hard creating videos. If there’s a topic you need help with and you can’t find the right video, leave us a suggestion.
