Mentoring Mathematics - Personalised Tuition for Swamped Students - Edinburgh - Private lessons

Mentoring Mathematics - Personalised Tuition for Swamped Students

From 29 £ /h

Mathematics is a highly sought skill in any job or career. In my experience, the beginning of high school is when students decide if they love or hate maths; this is an important time to show them that it isn't that scary! Everything has a reason and, if you learn it right, can feel like cheating!

This class helps students learn how and why mathematics works the way it does, crushes their fear of complex equations or concepts, and instills a newfound confidence and appreciation. From learning how counting works to nailing your Higher maths exam, this class is tailored to the student!
Lessons are aimed at students in high school, however anyone outwith this who wants to learn about these topics is more than welcome!

Extra information

I will provide any materials for in-person lessons such as worksheets, textbooks, and basic stationery. Students in S2 or above are expected to have a scientific calculator, however I can bring a spare.

For online classes, students just need a reliable internet connection and some method of taking notes or trying practice questions.

About Me

I have mentored hundreds of students over three years. From teaching P1s how to write numbers to S6s preparing for their examinations, I always pride myself in personalising the lessons to the student. High school is a difficult time and students don't often have a strong support system to help them understand what mathematics is, let alone attempt it!
My work adage is to try! Even if it is completely wrong, you'll have put the effort in and learned something in the process.

Education

I completed my National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers before beginning university, where I achieved a BSc in Mathematics. Alongside this, I have various miscellanious qualifications and skills to help any student.

Experience / Qualifications

I have tutored for 3 years, helping students from various backgrounds and skill levels. I have taught many students who are studying for exams and helped advance their skill and understanding.

I am a primary school teacher and cover all the subject areas within the Curriculum for Excellence. My speciality is in tutoring maths due to my love of the subject as well as a desire to ensure children gain confidence in their maths skills and abilities. My goal is to challenge and extend children with their education as well as recognise and support any gaps in their learning. As children all have individual learning styles, I will work to guarantee that children find enjoyment in their learning. I will meet each child's needs, ensuring they are treated as individuals.

I can teach nantional5 mathematics , economics alevel mathematics, economics igcse mathematics and economics. I am currently studying in the university of Edinburgh(social policy and economics),I am free in the weekend .I am patient and kind.I am usually free on Saturday and Sunday.

My courses are aimed at all those who have difficulties or just want to progress in maths, from primary school to high school.
Depending on the field, I can also teach subjects at university undergraduate level.
My name is Hugo, and I am currently in my postgraduate year in a MSc. Robotics at Heriot-Watt University, in Edinburgh.
I have experience in private teaching ; in France, I taught maths and physics to several high school students.
By taking into account my own experience, I think that it is essential to focus on practice, on exercises to succeed; in my opinion, this is the way that mathematics rules and theorems are most easily memorised.

Mathematics is a skills that all students are required to have no matter their future career choice, my job is to make this a less daunting task. I provide lessons and extra support in all levels of maths from primary school to Advanced Higher Qualifications. The lessons will be flexible and tailored to suit the student, so if you want homework or handwritten notes on calculus, I can do this for you. Resources will be provided for students as well- online question banks and notes. The lessons will allow revision, learning, support and improvement in confidence to ace those exams and tests!

In recent times, computer science has gained significant popularity as a field of study. Additionally, there is an increasing focus on introducing computer education to students at a younger age. Establishing a solid groundwork is a crucial initial step in this process. A common entry point for beginners is programming. You'll acquire fundamental programming skills that will benefit your future pursuits in the realm of computer science.

Hi! I`m a Biological Sciences student at the University of Edinburgh. I`m from England and am tutoring up to GCSE level sciences and Maths. I sat my A levels in Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. I love teaching and helping students get the most out of themsleves and their studies, covering a wide wide range of problems, from learning content to practicing exam questions. I believe the most important part of learning is identifying and strengthening different weaknesses in the student's individual learning process, with the end goal of helping the student become self sufficient. If this sounds like a goal of yours, I will be able to help!

Problem solving is a key transferable life skill applicable to all fields, especially Mathematics.It is important students master these foundations which act as building blocks supporting further progression in learning. I aim to help students build vital confidence enabling them to tackle any unseen problem thrown at them.This is particularly important when it comes to high-pressure and time-constraint examinations.

In this class, I will go through topics students struggle with, providing alternative approaches I have personally learned over the years. I will also teach useful exam techniques so that students can enter examinations confident and well-prepared. Once a concept has been covered, we will go through additional questions to reinforce understanding of the topic.

I am friendly and approachable former student who has picked up several tips and tricks over the years, excited to these with younger students. Having worked with kids before, I am confident in my ability to relate to the frustrations of tackling hard new concepts, and break things down in legible ways. Ultimately, I am motivated to inspire an excitement for problem-solving, like my own, and foster kids’ enthusiasm in maths.

I am a 2021 IGCSE graduate and a 2023 IB graduate, now studying Veterinary Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Having recently completed these programmes myself, I understand the challenges students face and how to overcome them effectively.

With 1 year of experience teaching the IGCSE syllabus and 1 year of experience teaching the IB syllabus, I specialize in helping students master subject content, strengthen exam techniques, and build confidence. My lessons are tailored to each learner’s pace and goals, ensuring steady progress and measurable results.

What I offer:
- IB & IGCSE syllabus coverage across core and extended levels
- Exam preparation with past paper practice and detailed feedback
