About Me

My approach to tutoring is all about sharing knowledge in a way that feels motivating, engaging, and tailored to you. I have a deep respect for students who take the initiative to learn beyond the classroom, and that respect will show in the way I teach. Whether you’re looking for clarity on tricky concepts, aiming to get ahead, or just need someone who truly listens and adapts to your learning style, I’m here to help.

I work best with students who are curious, open-minded, and ready to put in the effort. You don’t have to be a straight-A student—just someone who’s willing to show up and try. If you're serious about improving, I’ll match that energy with patience, encouragement, and strategies that make learning click.

Trying to choose what to do after University? Not sure what to do after A-levels? Not got the results you needed? Not sure what to do after GCSE's? Want a career / job change? This is your one stop shop for early career advice from some one who has planned every step of her life, had every step go wrong, and yet has still gotten to the place she want to be.... even if it meant taking the scenic route! This is your opportunity to hear about different options, discuss your thoughts, and maybe gain some appreciation for the view and experiences the scenic route can provide! I will talk about my experiences from A-levels, Undergraduate, Masters, industry/corporate and PhD (current) and then discuss with you your thoughts, concerns or questions.

Problem solving and techniques for Mathematics: Nat 5 ,Higher level
Problem solving is a key transferable life skill applicable to all fields, especially Mathematics.It is important students master these foundations which act as building blocks supporting further progression in learning. I aim to help students build vital confidence enabling them to tackle any unseen problem thrown at them.This is particularly important when it comes to high-pressure and time-constraint examinations. In this class, I will go through topics students struggle with, providing alternative approaches I have personally learned over the years. I will also teach useful exam techniques so that students can enter examinations confident and well-prepared. Once a concept has been covered, we will go through additional questions to reinforce understanding of the topic. I am friendly and approachable former student who has picked up several tips and tricks over the years, excited to these with younger students. Having worked with kids before, I am confident in my ability to relate to the frustrations of tackling hard new concepts, and break things down in legible ways. Ultimately, I am motivated to inspire an excitement for problem-solving, like my own, and foster kids’ enthusiasm in maths.

Tutoring in scientific subjects (Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology)
Science subjects can be difficult, but very interesting and useful once they are understood. I am a fourth year undergraduate student studying Chemistry and Chemical engineering, and I offer help with high school courses, lower year university ones, or simply tutoring for people interested in the subject. Since I have followed an engineering-based degree the first two years, I have strong bases in most of the scientific subjects, such as calculus, algebra, chemistry and biology, and am glad to help anyone that might need it to understand them better.

Eloise
Scottish Curriculum (National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher) Biology
I tutor Biology at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level. The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation. I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.

Rupashri
Biology and other Life Sciences tutoring and support
As a Master's student in Biomedical Sciences, I have made it to a substantial level of subject knowledge, and combined with my above par teaching skills, will be able to help students understand several concepts in interdisciplinary sciences spanning the biology field. Anyone struggling with course material, or wanting a taught introduction to a particular subject in Biology, or in need of a little assistance in grasping a specific concept, can all benefit from having sessions with me, not only as an amicable and patient tutor, but also to be a supportive person to learn with. Sessions with me will be flexible and curated to the need of the student, and I will readily provide any form of reading material and create assessments to help build confidence in the subject. I will guide and tutor in a calm, positive and encouraging way.

Biology lessons for middle school, high school and college students!
Biology is a powerful science that becomes more and more influential as time passes. Biology allows for us not only to understand the world around us better but also helps us understand what goes on within our own bodies. Having studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh, I am incredibly passionate about the subject. Currently I am pursuing my research Masters degree in Biochemistry, working closely with protein design. I believe research is incredibly thrilling and learning about new research techniques and ideas feels like having a cookbook you can cook something fun and novel out of everyday! I would love to share my passion for Biology with you!

Natasha
