Syllabuses, textbooks and study material, with the licence stated

Everything here is published by somebody else. For each one we say who published it, what you are allowed to do with it, how closely it matches a syllabus, and whether anybody has checked that it is still the current version. Where the answer is “nobody has checked”, it says that instead of guessing.

Listing a resource is not teaching it. What Tutor actually teaches is a different page, and a much shorter list.
