Candaice C
Engaging, patient and friendly Biology tutor
Hi, my name is Candaice (pronounced as 'can-deese') and I graduated with a Masters of Science (MSci) in Mathematical Biology at University of Dundee. I have 3 years of tutoring experience and 1 year of SEND focused tutoring. I first fell in love with maths during my Scottish Highers (AS/A-level equivalent) when I was introduced to the application of calculus and algebra to scientific processes. Despite the interesting knowledge gained from this, I believe it is pivotal to provide a strong base knowledge of maths and biology before entering in higher levels, such as Highers/A-levels and uni.From...

Martin M
Martin has been an excellent Science tutor for Sophie as she prepares for her GCSE exams. He is thorough, clear, and highly effective—breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps and checking understanding as he goes. What really sets Martin apart is how perceptive he is: he quickly identifies where Sophie is losing confidence or getting stuck, and adapts his teaching style to suit her so each session is focused and productive. Sophie has made strong progress and feels much more prepared thanks to his support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Sarah T
We’ve had Sarah from Tutorful work with my daughter for two sessions so far, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. She’s a younger tutor but incredibly knowledgeable across biology, chemistry, and physics, and she explains things in a way that really clicks.
What stands out the most is her patience and understanding. My daughter has complex needs, and Sarah has been so empathetic and supportive, which makes a huge difference to her confidence and engagement.
While her hourly rate is on the higher side, I genuinely believe you get what you pay for. The quality of teaching and the way she connects with my daughter makes it completely worthwhile—priceless, in my opinion.
We’ll definitely be continuing with her right through to GCSE’s Highly recommend. Big up Sarah
