Improving their problem-solving skills

1-2-1 tuition in maths by an experienced* maths tutor offers you the help, encouragement and support you need to increase your understanding of this important school subject, and thence to improved grades. I have set up as a maths tutor in order to help people do better at maths.

I particularly welcome enquiries from potential tutees who are taking SQA National 5, or GCSE maths with a view to obtaining an A or 9 pass at National 5, GCSE and SQA Higher, AS/A-level the following year. And also from SQA Higher, AS/A-level students aiming to get an ‘A/A*’ at both Higher and Advanced Higher, AS/A-level. Please see my page How to get an A.

Some of my Advanced Higher tutees from previous years have gone on to study mathematics, medicine, engineering, economics, astrophysics, computer science, and music.

If you have an interest in pursuing a STEM subject at university it is advisable that you consciously work towards achieving your goal from an earlier rather than a later stage.

Please see my page How to get an ‘A’.

I am equally pleased to help anyone improve their understanding of maths, or to improve their numeracy, whatever their level, and whatever their goal.
