Description

✨ 'I had absolutely no confidence in myself about Higher English, but you completely changed that for me! You helped me so much and you are honestly the nicest person I know. Really grateful for your help!' — Higher student

???? With prelims immanent, it can be invaluable to have a helping hand along the way. That’s where I come in! I have 12 years’ experience as a tutor and mentor — especially in coaching National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher students over their SQA hurdles (getting in there nice and early with a wee metaphor!), as well as bachelor's and master's students, PhD candidates, and academics with their studies, research, and publications, respectively.

???? In practice, my support can look like:

• working alongside you to build an exam strategy that truly works for you

• turning our Reading for Understanding, Analysis, and Evaluation practice on topics you enjoy

• equipping you to write essays that both answer the exam question logically and powerfully convey what you really think

• helping you make useful connections between your course and the life skills you’ll need beyond it

???? I also pride myself on offering robust moral support to all of my students and clients. Each and every student is different, so we'll have an ongoing discussion about what you most need and want to focus on — that way you can best target your efforts for maximum results. And I wholeheartedly believe there is no such thing as a 'stupid' question, meaning that you are welcome to share what's on your mind at any time.

???? I may be a particularly good fit for you as a tutor if the mainstream education system isn’t currently giving you what you need and/or you want a tutor who is patient, understanding, and encouraging. If you have any additional support needs, I invite you to tell me in advance how I can best support you or we can work it out together as we go.

???? SQA results are of course a real asset to have on paper, but they comprise just one small part of a far bigger and more important picture: you! As a tutor, I take a lot of pride in supporting my students’ not just in their push towards exams, but towards their wider skillsets, goals, passions, and wellbeing.

✨ Whether online or in person (central Edinburgh, or thereabouts) my per person rates are £40 for an hour, £55 for 90 mins, and £70 for 2 hours all payable via bank transfer ahead of our session. If you are a pair or small group of students who would like to receive tuition together, we can discuss a collective rate.

???? Get in touch and let’s chat about how I can help you to fulfil your potential… and have lots of fun along the way. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

PS As for my own academic qualifications: I hold an MLitt. with Distinction in Comparative Literature from the University of Glasgow (I also have an MA in Comparative Literature and English Literature with Honours of the First Class, also from the University of Glasgow).

Quotes from previous students and parents:

✨ 'Thank you so much for helping my daughter re-discover her love for English!' — parent of Advanced Higher student

✨ ‘I have learned so much with our sessions and you are always able to capture my attention with topics that are not normally my forté! I am a much more confident learner with good insight into English, thus taking me from the bottom group to being allowed to sit my National 5.’ — National 5 student

✨ 'Your help with my literary analysis has made all the difference in the world!' — English Literature access course student

✨ ‘My daughter really enjoyed your sessions which means you have a rare talent.’ — parent of Higher student
