I offer STEM tutoring across a wide range of ages and levels, from primary school students just starting out with the basics of science and technology, to secondary school learners studying for their National 5 and Higher exams. My tutoring sessions cover:

• Primary School STEM: Engaging and interactive lessons that introduce key STEM concepts in a fun and accessible way.

I help students understand complex concepts, improve exam technique, and build confidence in their subject knowledge.

How I Work With Home-school Families

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a discussion to understand your child’s current learning needs, goals, and areas of interest. This allows me to create a customised tutoring plan that aligns with both your child’s curriculum requirements and personal learning style.

2. Structured Lessons: I develop structured lessons with clear objectives, combining theoretical learning with practical activities. My lessons aim to engage students and make learning enjoyable, while ensuring they’re building the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

3. Regular Progress Check-ins: I assess student progress regularly, adapting lessons as needed to ensure that each child is making steady progress toward their academic goals.

4. Support for Independent Learning: In addition to tutoring sessions, I provide tips and resources to help your child become more independent in their learning, building valuable study habits that will serve them beyond the classroom.

Benefits of STEM Tutoring

• Boost Confidence & Understanding: STEM subjects can sometimes be challenging, but with personalised support, students gain a deeper understanding and greater confidence in their abilities.

• Focus on Problem-Solving Skills: STEM education teaches critical thinking and problem-solving, which are transferable skills that can be applied to all areas of life.

• Prepare for Exams: For students preparing for National 5 and Higher Biology exams, I provide focused revision, exam strategies, and techniques to ensure they are fully prepared for their assessments.

• Flexible Learning Pace: Unlike traditional classrooms, tutoring allows students to progress at their own pace. Whether they need extra time to grasp a concept or are ready to move ahead, I adjust the lessons to suit their needs.
