Alexandra J
I am delighted to offer tutoring on a variety of subjects!
I am originally from Toronto, Canada but now work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh.My style of teaching is flexible in that it would be planned based on the needs of the student and ultimately my lessons would be student-led. Thus, while I would make a lesson plan, it would be amenable to change based on the needs and requests of the student. I am calm, patient and encouraging in my approach to teaching, so am happy to go at whatever pace best suits the student.   I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching varying levels of academic writing reading from primary school ...

Holly C
My daughter is only 2 lessons in and is thrilled we have found Holly. Not only is she super organised and prepared for the lessons but has quickly put our daughter at ease - she really enjoys Holly’s style of teaching and genuinely enjoys her lessons - Holly leaves detailed feedback and has a clear vision for what needs to be done to help Carla progress but also to build her confidence and belief in her ability. She is an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions

Absolutely. This is a common concern, and our tutors are brilliant at bridging that gap. They can help consolidate your child's knowledge from National 5, build their confidence, and introduce them to the more demanding concepts of the Highers curriculum so they start S5 feeling prepared and capable.
