Torii D
Professional Biology tutor
Mr Wood’s Fossil shop in Edinburgh has always been a place of fascination and intrigue for me from the time of my first visit at a young age. It was there that my interest in rocks and fossils began and I started collecting samples and books that stretched my imagination with logical arguments and assumptions. The Geology and Petroleum Geology undergraduate course at Aberdeen University was an ideal course, and has given me an excellent grounding. My choice of degree courses are based on my intention to work within the Environmental Science arena. I have recently finished studying at the Institute o...

Khair U
Khair is a great tutor, she has been tutoring me in a level biology for the past few months and and has improved my confidence, targeted my areas of weakness and explained it in a way that was easy to understand and in line with the mark scheme. She encourages me to do active recall during lessons which I believe has greatly helped me.

Viktoriya R
I highly recommend Viktoriya as a biology tutor. I was really struggling to keep up with the material and revision on my own, but having these tutoring sessions made a huge difference. Every lesson we would discuss what to focus on, and whether I would benefit from recapping the material or doing questions, and regardless of what I chose, Viktoriya explained any complex topics I wasn’t sure on and always took the time to make sure I understood it before moving on. I'm very grateful for her support on the run up to exams and I cannot thank her enough, if you’re unsure on what tutor to choose, Viktoriya is an amazing choice!

Bray R
Bray tutored my son in A level biology and really did do any amazing job of giving him some much needed confidence in going about tackling his exams.
Bray has a very reassuring laid back approach that lends itself perfectly to building good rapport with his students. My son hated the idea of tutors and fought me on it a lot but after 1 session with Bray he bought right into the approach.
Added bonus is all the sessions are recorded and viewable and Bray's rates (as time of reviewing)were exceedingly reasonable.
Up to my son now to get the marks needed but genuinely feel Bray did everything possible to help him on his way

Ayesha P
Ayesha is so lovely and so patient when helping, she always gives you the opportunity to figure things out for yourself before telling you the answer helping me build my confidence. I feel much stronger going in to my exams after receiving her help. She explains things so clearly and will go over things multiple times until you are comfortable. I could not recommend her enough.

Sarah T
We couldn’t be happier with Sarah. Sarah teachers my son (who is in year 10) Chemistry and Biology. She combines deep subject knowledge with a gentle, encouraging approach that makes hard topics in chemistry and biology accessible.
She consistently supplies a wide range of past questions and identifies gaps in understanding, whereby she supports him to improve in those areas. His confidence and grades have improved so much. Sarah is a brilliant tutor and we can’t thank her enough!
