I am a highly experienced physics and science teacher in a Scottish secondary school. I have many years tutoring experience and I enjoy teaching all age groups. I am available for tutoring in the evenings and weekends and anytime on a Friday.

Tutoring Experience

I have 19 years teaching experience in the UK and abroad. I have taught GCSE, A level and IB, as well as all levels of the Scottish curriculum (BGE, N4/5, Higher, Advanced Higher). I am also an exam marker for the SQA.

I am a qualified CELTA teacher and so this could be useful for students whose first language is not English.

Tutoring Approach

We will establish the areas that require improvement and then create personalised lessons that will help you reach your goal. I will make sure that learning matches the specific outcomes of the curriculum and level you are working at.

If you are preparing for exams, the plan could involve working through past paper questions together and modelling answers or going over homework and revision work that your school has set. As an exam marker I can give valuable insights into the approach you should be taking to specific types of questions.

If there are specific areas that you need to improve, I have many resources that we can use to help with your understanding.
