Tutor Profile

(2026 update: of the 5 pupils I had last year, 4 of them received an A grade, with one receiving a B from a 'No award') My name is Andrew and I am going into my fourth year of secondary education. I specialise in History and have been successfully tutoring for 3 years now. I am currently teaching in Edinburgh, but live in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. Before FirstTutors shut down I had many positive reviews, making me the number 1 history tutor in the Scotland area. Shortly I will have these imported over for your peace of mind when choosing my services. Thank you for looking at my profile and hope to hear from you soon!

Teaching Experience

Having taught in high attainment councils such as East Renfrewshire and Edinburgh council, I am adept in my pedagogical approaches to supplement your child’s learning that will show a considerable improvement in their academic grades. I also have considerable experience teaching secondary pupils with additional support needs, so whether it’s dyslexia, autism or a nervous disposition I will create a bank of resources to support you in any way possible. Finally I am also a marker for Qualifications Scotland, enabling me to be up to date and concise with my tutoring to ensure it falls in line with the latest in academic tests to ensure your young person’s grade is of the highest margin.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is catered differently for every pupil. Working with a vast range of topics and needs, I construct individual learning plans for each of my pupils, including Microsoft teams channels where I can be available for simple questions, homework and reviewing of submitted work. Whether it’s class homework or your dissertation, I will provide 1-1 vital review and assistance that will improve your comprehension and understanding of the history course.

Andrew is a brilliant tutor. My daughter was on course to achieve a C grade in National 5 History. With Andrews’s tuition her confidence in history massively improved and she was delighted to be awarded an A grade in her exam. Andrew was particularly good at identifying and addressing the parts of her history knowledge that needed to improve. Our daughter looked forward to his lessons and he was always flexible with lesson times. We would recommend Andrew to other parents without hesitation.

Andrew was a great tutor for our daughter who recently achieved A in Advanced Higher History. Very patient, polite, considered and focused, a nice chap also. Very much recommend.

Got in touch with Andrew to help my daughter study for Nat 5 history. Her confidence was so low due to not having a great teacher in school and Andrew helped massively to bring that back to the surface. He was great at working on what she needed and advising her on what was relevant or not and she went into the exam feeling confident and came out feeling that it went really well.

Andrew helped my son in the short time between the prelim and the final exam. By encouraging him to complete the different types of questions and giving positive feedback he made all the difference and kept my son motivated.
