A Short we would cut
First line on screen: 'State vs Explain — 9700 examiners deduct marks here.' Then fifteen seconds of your marked example, ten seconds of the fix, and a closing card: 'Full paper walkthrough linked below.'
YouTube Shorts
We cut your long past-paper walkthroughs into Shorts: a single command word explained, one trap examiners set, a sixty-second method for a question type that appears every series. Three a week, captioned, titled with the syllabus code and linked to the full walkthrough, so a student who stops on one ends up watching an hour.
On the Starter package, PKR 15,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Shorts reach students who have never searched for you. A seventeen-year-old swiping before bed sees a tutor spot a mistake he also makes, and he follows. For a solo O and A level tutor with no spare hour, Shorts are the least demanding format there is, because they come from footage already recorded. The midnight pre-exam scroll is real: students hunt for quick fixes the week before a paper, and a Short that solves one gets saved, shared into a class group and watched again.
The work
Examples
Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

Yes, mainly as a doorway into your long videos. Shorts put a sixty-second tip in front of O and A level students across Pakistan who have not found you yet. For an Islamabad tutor already recording walkthroughs they cost almost no extra time, since they are cut from existing footage.
One idea only: a command word, a common trap, or the mark-scheme point students miss. State it on screen in the first two seconds, show one worked example, and end with the full walkthrough link. Anything bigger than one idea belongs in the main video, not the Short.

Price
The Starter package includes eight short edits a month posted to one platform; cutting more than that, or posting across Reels and TikTok as well, moves you to Growth or Pro.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usWhatever you teach in. Many Islamabad tutors teach Cambridge subjects in English with Urdu explanations, and Shorts can mirror that. On-screen text in English helps students search and skim, while your spoken explanation can be as mixed as your classroom.
The same clip can usually serve both, with adjusted captions and a different cover. Starter covers posting to one platform; adding TikTok makes it a second platform, which sits in a larger package.
