Katy P
Expert Maths tutor
Hi, my name is Katy. I'm a graduate in Mathematical Sciences, and I've been privately tutoring students in Math for over 15 years now! I'm self employed and run my tutoring business from home as it works well with being a parent myself. I particularly specialise in students who lack confidence in mathematics or who lack interest in it, however I also enjoy working with students for whom mathematics is a passion. I have a very relaxed style of teaching which works particularly well with teenagers and in my learning space we focus on mutual respect and staying curious! I don't teach to a set lesson...

Amal A
100% recommed Amal!! She helped me to feel confident in topics I was unsure about before, especially logs. She even went out of her way to have a lesson with me the night before my Higher Maths exam which I achieved an A in! Her teaching method is so efficient yet fun. I had 2 hour lessons with her which felt like 30 minutes. She explained topics in ways that were easy to understand and gave lots of tips and tricks when solving problems. If you’re searching for a maths tutor, look no further!

Ian has been helping my son with his Advanced Higher Physics and Maths this year. He has been a real find. He is flexible and approachable and my son has really looked forward to his sessions with Ian - his patient and interractive approach has fuelled his love of the subjects and has no doubt helped him to gain better grades. Thank you Ian.

Jolie B
Jolie was a very good tutor and helped me to understand why I was doing the things I was doing in a question allowing me to solve trickier questions as I had the background knowledge to apply in different ways.
She is very flexible and is able to change lessons to suite what subjects and topics you need taught and will easily go over a topic again if you feel you need just another revision of the topic and questions.
I have felt far more confidant in my Maths exam then my prelim as I have had Jolie helping me every week.

Karisma K
Karisma is supporting my daughter in Maths, at Scottish Higher level.
She is fantastic and has boosted my daughter’s confidence in the subject, in advance of her exams.
Karisma thoroughly prepares every lesson and provides extremely detailed feedback after each tuition. She is familiar with exam techniques and has given my daughter precise guidance on what to focus on to ensure the best result possible. No need to say that Karisma is also extremely skilled and knowledgeable in various STEM subjects and is able to clearly explain challenging maths concepts. If we could give Karisma 10 stars, we would. We highly recommend her. (And she can also teach much younger kids).

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can a tutor help my child with the intense pace of Scottish Highers Maths?
A higher maths tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support that targets exactly where your child needs help. This allows them to quickly grasp difficult concepts, reinforce understanding, and practice exam techniques more efficiently than in a classroom setting, helping them keep up with the fast-moving curriculum and build confidence.
Will Scottish Highers Maths be understood by universities outside Scotland?
Yes, Scottish Highers are nationally recognised qualifications across the UK. Our tutors can help your child articulate their achievements effectively on university applications and support them in achieving the grades needed, including guidance on how their Higher grades equate to A-Level requirements. Many also offer support for Advanced Highers which are often seen as comparable to an A-Level, especially for competitive STEM degrees.
How do I find SQA exam centres if my child isn't studying within a Scottish school?
This can be a concern for many parents. While Tutorful provides excellent academic support, the logistics of finding an exam centre usually falls to the individual. We recommend contacting the SQA directly or searching their website for a list of approved exam centres in your area. Our tutors will focus on preparing your child thoroughly for the exam content, no matter where they sit it.
My child feels isolated studying Highers when their friends do A-Levels. How can tutoring help?
One-to-one tutoring creates a dedicated, supportive space where your child can freely ask questions and explore topics without comparison to peers. Their scottish highers maths tutor becomes a mentor, understanding their unique journey and boosting their confidence in their chosen qualification, helping them feel less alone in their studies.
Can a tutor help if we're considering Advanced Highers for university applications?
Absolutely. Many of our experienced higher maths tutor professionals are well-versed in both Highers and Advanced Highers. They can provide continuity of support, helping your child build on their Higher knowledge and prepare for the more complex content and assessment demands of an Advanced Higher, strengthening their university applications, particularly for competitive courses.
How much does a Scottish Highers Maths tutor cost?
Our tutoring rates for scottish highers maths start from £34 an hour. The exact price can vary depending on the tutor's experience and specialisation. We believe this is a valuable investment in your child's learning and future success.
What if we needed a Plan B and wanted to transfer to A-Levels?
While Highers are a strong qualification, if a change in academic path becomes necessary, an experienced tutor can help assess your child's current knowledge against the A-Level curriculum. They can then create a targeted plan to fill any gaps, making a potential transition smoother and helping to minimise any lost academic time.
