Tutoring Experience

I have taught both Modern Studies and History across various levels and have extensive experience as an SQA marker for Higher Modern Studies (Assignment, Paper 1 & 2) and National 5 Modern Studies. My insight into exam standards allows me to guide students with precision and clarity. I have successfully supported many pupils across North and South Lanarkshire, both in person and online.
