Online Scottish Highers Maths Tutors
Maybe it was a parents’ evening, or a mock result that didn’t feel right. Higher Maths is a big step up, and it’s tough when you can’t help them with the homework yourself. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need. We then match you with a specialist Higher Maths tutor we'd genuinely recommend for them. No browsing, no guesswork.

When Higher Maths stops feeling like the enemy
The right tutor can change your child’s whole relationship with a subject. Suddenly, concepts that were confusing in a busy classroom start to make sense. It’s not just about getting questions right; it’s the quiet confidence that comes from feeling they can actually do it.
That newfound confidence makes a real difference when it comes to prelims, final exams, and thinking about what’s next. Our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum, ensuring every lesson builds towards what your child needs to know for their exams.

Qualified teacher who enjoys tutoring maths and chemistry Maths
My motto is simple, nothing is hard, either we know or we don't. Practice is the key to excellence. I have a Bachelor of Science, specializing in Chemistry, and have a PGDE from the University of Edinburgh. Here is what I do. I don’t just teach mathematics and chemistry; I teach you how to understand the subject. I explain the topics in a very simple way for you to understand, I follow with an example, then I ask you a simple question to see how you think. I do try to prove the subject easy, I try to prove to you that you are capable of doing it. It is you’re your answers that tells me what to ...

Candaice C
Engaging, patient and friendly Maths 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...

Binny B
Lucked into finding Binny after moving from the US. Neeed a tutor to help catch my S5 student, not only did Binny get him caught up but gave him the confidence to handle whatwas an apparently difficult exam. Yes, we had to cancel a lesson but we found her communication to be good overall. Would certainly recommend Binny, she provided exactly what my kiddo needed!
