I had my first session with Luke, and I must say I was delighted with how it went. I could tell that Luke really wanted to make sure I understood the concept of the questions that I was tackling before proceeding to the next step.

This is especially helpful for the demanding one-year Scottish Highers course, ensuring they keep up with the challenging material.

Will a strong performance in Scottish Highers in Mechanics prepare my child for university STEM courses?

A good understanding of Mechanics is important for any STEM degree, especially in engineering or physics. Although the Higher is a one-year qualification, a tutor can help your child grasp key concepts and develop strong problem-solving skills. These skills are valued by university admissions tutors. Mastery of this subject shows that your child is ready and confident for future academic challenges.

I feel out of my depth helping with this subject. How can a tutor fill this gap?

It's completely understandable to feel that way, as the Scottish curriculum and advanced Mechanics topics can be challenging. A dedicated tutor acts as an expert guide, providing practical help with homework, explaining unfamiliar terminology, and clarifying difficult concepts in a way you might not be able to. They offer the specific, focused support your child needs, making learning less stressful for both of you.

How do you ensure your highers mechanics tutors are truly qualified for the Scottish curriculum?

We take great care in vetting our tutors.

This is a common concern, and building confidence is a key focus of our tutors. Through patient, encouraging, and tailored one-to-one sessions, our highers mechanics tutors work to demystify challenging areas. They celebrate small victories, offer positive reinforcement, and help your child understand that struggles are part of learning. This personalised approach often leads to a significant boost in confidence, which can positively impact their overall attitude towards all their subjects. In fact, 9 out of 10 students improve by at least one grade with our support.

How does personalising for Scottish Highers Mechanics work?

Online tutoring is incredibly convenient and practical.

This allows for dynamic and visual explanations, which are especially helpful for Mechanics. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, and your child can learn comfortably from home, removing any travel hassle.

How much does support from a higher maths tutor for Mechanics cost?

The cost of tutoring for Scottish Highers Mechanics varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but rates generally start from £34 per hour.
