How do I make http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js Asynchronous

I am fairly new to all this but getting to grips with it. I want to get the website www.norfolktutors.co.uk to the top in a google search.
However I am being asked to make my script asynchronous. I don't understand what that means, can someone explain in simple english please.

The code for the script is: 

 <script src="demo_async.js" async></script> 
   <script>
 (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
   m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-45579551-1', 'norfolktutors.co.uk');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

What do I remove?

I have put this script at the bottom of the page, as advised by google webmaster.

There is some splendid information on Google Analytics in Google Developers. By default, the snippet is asynchronous.

Per Google Developers:

When the code runs, it asynchronously loads the Google Analytics Tracking Code onto the page. It then creates a tracker object for the web property you specified in the UA-XXXX-Y parameter. Finally, it records a pageview in Google Analytics for the page that the script was run.

To answer your question then, you shouldn't have to remove anything.
