The tutor behind the lessons
Swaralee taught the E1 video lessons. She studied CIMA herself before teaching it, and each lesson works through the Finntutors notes on screen, one idea at a time.
“From learning CIMA to teaching it, it is indeed a fun journey. I wish to share my knowledge on how to do better at your CIMA exams through these sessions and help you reach your goal in a smoother way.”Swaralee

What is E1 TutorBot?
Your E1 study partner inside the course. It teaches every topic from Finntutors' exclusive E1 notes, answers your questions with the chapter each answer comes from, quizzes you in the real exam formats, brings back the questions you got wrong, and runs 10-question mini tests and full 60-question mock exams.
Is TutorBot included in the price?
Yes. Both plans include E1 TutorBot, the 62 video lessons, our exclusive chapter notes, the 12 chapter quizzes and direct support from our tutors.
How is it different from asking ChatGPT?
TutorBot teaches from Finntutors' exclusive E1 notes, so it explains things the way your course does and shows you which chapter each answer comes from. Its practice questions are written in CIMA's exam formats and marked the way CIMA marks them, and it remembers what you got wrong so you can fix it.
What question formats does the E1 exam use?
E1 is 60 questions in 90 minutes. You will see multiple choice, multiple response, drop-down, drag and drop, and occasionally number entry or hot spot questions. Every question carries the same marks and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.

Yes. The notes include the 2026 syllabus additions on generative AI (chapter 5) and on ethics and generative AI (chapter 6), and TutorBot teaches from them.
