Experienced Science tutor
Hi, I’m a Master’s graduate in Biomedical Science from the University of Glasgow, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals in a way that’s both fun and effective.Growing up, I found school challenging—balancing coursework with extracurricular activities made it difficult to maintain high grades. However, once I reached university, I developed better study strategies that helped me excel and achieve top marks. This experience has shaped my approach to tutoring: I focus on understanding concepts, not just memorizing theory. I believe that when students grasp the why b...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a Scottish Highers Science tutor help my child with the 'jump' from National 5?

Our Scottish Highers Science tutors are experts at bridging this gap. They understand the shift from 'process' to 'application' and can provide targeted practice on new problem-solving styles, ensuring your child builds a solid foundation for Higher-level topics.

My child is struggling with the 'hidden maths' in their science Higher. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely! Many students find the unexpected amount of maths in Higher Biology, Chemistry, and Physics challenging. Our science tutors online can patiently break down calculations, formulas, data analysis, and statistics, helping your child master these critical skills and prevent them from impacting their overall grade.

How can a tutor assist with the Scottish Highers Science 'Assignment' project?

The 'Assignment' is a significant part of the grade. A tutor can guide your child through the research process, help with structuring their report, clarify expectations, and refine their arguments. They'll ensure your child understands the requirements and manages their time effectively without doing the work for them, so they feel confident in their submission.

What if my child is doing two Highers Sciences and feeling overwhelmed by the workload?

This is a common concern. A tutor can help your child develop effective study strategies, prioritise topics, and manage their time across multiple demanding subjects. They can provide focused support on the most challenging areas, helping to alleviate pressure and reduce the risk of burnout.

When is the best time to start looking for Scottish Highers Science tutors?

Many parents find that starting early in S5 can make a big difference. Early intervention helps solidify foundational knowledge and prevents small misunderstandings from becoming bigger problems later in the year, especially with the 'one-year sprint' nature of Highers. However, it's never too late to seek support if your child is feeling stuck.

Are your science tutors online qualified and checked?

Yes, all our tutors are carefully selected and background-checked. We only accept about 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you get access to experienced and knowledgeable educators who are experts in the Scottish Highers Science curriculum.

What kind of grade improvement can we expect with Scottish Highers Science tutors?

We're proud to say that 9 out of 10 students who learn with a tutor improve by at least one grade. With personalised, one-to-one support tailored to your child's specific needs, they gain confidence and a deeper understanding that directly translates into better results.
