Circle Theorems

I was recently moved up to top Maths set in school, and I must say, it's a huge jump from what I was doing in the middle set.
Now, today we were doing Circle Theorems, and the only way I could complete my worksheet was to get my friend to help me by running me throguh it, unfortunatley, he's not very good at explaining things so he was basically giving me the answers.
It didn't help that the teacher assumed that we all knew how to do them also, so she just put us straight into it only going through Corresponding Angles and so on beforehand.
I was wondering whether anybody could explain how to do Circle Theorems in a way that a beginner to them could understand.
We were donig the one with a circle and an arrow head shape in the middle, with loads of little angles being formed, and had to use one point named "A" and write a formula for each angle, the formula was basically how to the given other angle.
