Phil T
My child was really struggling with Nat 5 Chemistry and parts of the Physics syllabus; the school was unsuccessful on 3 occasions at employing a chemistry teacher so you can imagine the horror we presented to Phil!
He took it in his stride and within weeks had not only found the level we were working at and begun to establish rapport, and it was joyous to see the boost in confidence alone.
Phil has a no nonsense approach and is incredibly diligent – I don’t think he’s doing this as a side hustle, he does actually want to get your kid to learn.
Feedback is very good too.
My child is expected to pass with good marks now and above all felt confident going into the exams.
We will definitely be keeping him on for Highers next year!

Her deep understanding of the subjects, combined with a clear and patient teaching style, has made a huge difference in my daughter’s learning. She is excellent at explaining complex concepts in a simple, relatable way, and she always take the time to ensure my daughter fully understand the material before moving on.
Thanks to Michelle I’ve seen a significant improvement in both grades and overall understanding of physics and biology. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor!
