Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a chemistry tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

A tutor can certainly change a child's mindset towards any subject because it all depends on making the basics of a subject strong so that there is no further problem. i must mention that I personally believe that there is no such thing as a silly question, so whatever doubts a student might face even if he assumes it to be silly, I am always…

A tutor can help a student grow not only in their academics but also as a human. A tutor is different from a teacher as they can be more personal with a student during 1 on 1 teaching. This gives room for conversations which can help the students grow. Since i was recently a student, I believe that I understand what students are looking for from a…

I believe that a chemistry tutor should make a student feel safe enough that they ask as many questions as they need to ask in order to fully understand a topic. A tutor should encourage the student to believe in their own abilities and develop the student's confidence to allow them to eventually approach and solve problems on their own. I believe…

Inside EdinburghTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Amelia worked on finding the circumference of incomplete circles and calculating the perimeter of irregular shapes, using diagrams to visualise each problem.

In Year 8, Archie revisited BIDMAS and fractions after a recent test, with extra practice on fraction operations and order of operations.

For Year 9, Suhana focused on trigonometry by solving for unknown sides in triangles, reinforcing her understanding through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, skipping written steps led to sign errors—"he said he could do it in his head," a tutor noted, but missed negatives crept in.

In Year 11 biology, hesitation to ask questions during revision left gaps around mitosis and meiosis content, with the student needing "encouragement to talk through her thinking process."

For a Year 7 maths test, a reluctance to show working meant fraction mistakes weren't caught early.

Meanwhile, one primary student's overthinking during multiplication drills caused confusion and slowed progress; time was lost re-reading rather than solving.

Recent Achievements

One Edinburgh tutor noticed a high school student who previously rushed through maths problems now carefully backchecks her work, catching and correcting mistakes herself without reminders.

Another secondary student, after struggling with negative integers, recently completed his homework on adding and subtracting them with only two errors and quickly grasped multiplying negatives when introduced.

In a primary session, a Year 3 learner who used to get flustered by lots of numbers is now calmly breaking maths problems into smaller parts and no longer panics at the sight of a full worksheet—she worked through all her skip counting questions independently this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I'm very happy with the progress that Abbey is making with Isabel, Isabel had lost most of her confidence in her ability to do her school work. Abbey's positive approach to Isabel's work is starting to reflect on Isabel.

Caroline is fabulous. We have had complicated family issues in the last month and will be getting back on track in term 4 and expect to have Caroline each week until after exams. Many thanks

We are very happy with the way James is tutoring Julian. Julian is responding well and is comfortable around him being of similar age and James hasn't long completed his HSC. James is passionate about tutoring and is going out of his way to bring out the best in him and to reach his full potential.

Chemistry tutoring in Edinburgh

Students are constantly catching up while demands become more and more complex. Meanwhile, parents struggle to be there through it all.

Sometimes all it takes is to keep an eye on your child's progress - are they turning in their assignments and are they meeting deadlines. Some students don't need more.

Chemistry Tutor Edinburgh

However, sooner or later most students tend to struggle with chemistry. And once they hit that wall it's important to react right away, before the tasks pile up and become unmanageable.

That's where we come in.

If you are looking for a local chemistry tutor in Edinburgh, we can assist. Your child needs someone who knows chemistry, someone who will turn up prepared for every lesson, who is available when it counts the most, but most importantly, your child needs someone who just clicks with them. Someone who recognizes their needs.

That's what we look for.

It usually doesn't take more than a day or two to match you with a local Edinburgh chemistry tutor. They come to your house at a time that works for you.

And what about payment? Well, we set a simple hourly rate, no added fees or anything, as simple as that.

And if you end up not liking them? No need to worry. In that case, we consider it a risk-free trial lesson and if you're still up for it, we find you a better match.

That's all.

No nonsense, just tutoring.

Why not give it a go?

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Elizabeth South Primary School.
