My Background

 

I’m currently a mechanical engineering student at Glasgow Caledonian University, where my love for problem-solving and numbers has grown even further. My academic journey has given me a deep understanding of maths, its practical applications, and the challenges students often face in mastering it.

Before tutoring, I worked as a swimming teacher for several years, where I developed my ability to break complex skills into simple, manageable steps. This experience shaped my teaching approach, ensuring that every lesson is engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs.

​

Why I Tutor

 

I know from personal experience how much of a difference the right support can make when it comes to building confidence and achieving academic success. Maths can seem daunting at first, but with the right guidance, I believe any student can excel. Seeing my students grow, improve, and reach their goals is the most rewarding part of what I do.

​

What Makes My Lessons Different?

• Personalized Learning: Every student is different, and I adapt my teaching to their unique strengths and areas for improvement.

• ​Scottish Curriculum Expertise: My lessons are fully aligned with the Curriculum for Excellence and the SQA framework, ensuring students get the most relevant and effective support.​

• Practical, Real-World Focus: I help students not only prepare for exams but also develop problem-solving skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

A Little More About Me

 

Originally from Dunoon, I’ve always had a love for numbers, logic, and learning. When I’m not tutoring or studying engineering, you’ll often find me swimming, exploring classic cars, or diving into a good book about politics.
