I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B.

I am a very competent, efficient and creative tutor with a passion for progress. My students’ success is seen as my own and I strive to ensure that they achieve their potential both inside and outside the classroom. I am very thorough in my teaching, which inevitably leads to positive results and creates a good learning atmosphere. As of right now I am an undergraduate at the University of Warwick studying Economics. At A-Level, I achieved 3 A*s in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Economics. At GCSE level, I achieved 6 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s and a 7 (in French :/) A few of my 9s included Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English Literature. I have been tutoring for over 5 years and all feedback from students has been very positive, I'm known to never disappoint and always exceed the expectations of parents who employ me.

Hi there, I'm currently in my second year of being a teacher in an International school, teaching Chemistry and Science. I have a Masters in Chemistry and a PGDE for teaching. I've tutored for a few years now and love it, especially making each lesson tailored to the specific student. Outwith my academics, I am a dancer and netballer. I also love to sail, cook, and travel abroad. - I teach GCSE and A Level Chemistry, as well as general Science for KS3. - I went through the SQA system at school, and have also taught Chemistry at National 5 and Higher level. - I also have a Dance Teaching Qualification and am in the process of completing a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course
