For 121 normally charge a fixed fee upwards from £30/hr but can offer discount for regular clients. I charge upwards from £45 for a 2hr session in any one sitting. I can accommodate more students in a lesson and will offer a discount where possible. I am flexible with my client payment arrangements. I also tutor ONLINE service which is cheaper than the 121 rate. - Where do you teach? Usually travel / drive to client's home but sometimes use other venues, e.g. libraries and local college campus if this is what suits the client more. Districts I cover mainly West Lothian and Edinburgh regions: Livingston, Falkirk, Shotts, Wishaw, Penicuik, South Queensferry (I don't cover Fife sorry). - When are you available? Available generally from 12 noon Mon-Fri and work right up to 10pm. Weekend Saturdays and Sundays from 10am through to 7pm. I also provide tuition over the school holidays, summer and Easter recess. - Which ages and levels do you teach? I generally only teach senior students, S3 and above at school. I also tutor young adults (17+) and more mature students at college or university. My university tuition is in U/G Year1 and Year2 only. Post-graduates may be considered depending on what it is they need lessons. - Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? School leaving certificates: National5, Intermediate, Higher, Advanced Higher, GCSE, GCE, IB and University Entrance (e.g. STEP). - Describe your arrangements for online tutoring. I tutor by pre-arranged time using Skype and Scribblar web-collaboration service- these are generally free to use for the client (except for my tuition fee of course). It only requires a desktop, laptop or tablet with the Skype app loaded and a reasonably good internet connection speed for the session. We agree a day-time for the session and I txt by sms to your phone just before to initiate the lesson. Payment is usually by Bank Draft (BACs) or Paypal. - Do you have a personal message for students? It is of the utmost importance that the student gets all the support and encouragement to advance their career and enter further/higher education in their chosen fields. Any tutoring I give will always put the student's interest first above all other considerations. I will also encourage the student to look further than the restricted options in the curriculum and take a genuine academic interest in their subject.

Thank you for all your tutoring over the last year (advanced Higher Physics), it was most appreciated by Greg and all of us. Tomorrow (exam) is the big day if you require recommendations i have no problem in recommending you.
After having a few questions about some GCSE level physics, I looked for local tutors and found Tom. He was very good in explaining things to me and adapted to my way of learning very quickly. He spent several hours with me preparing me for an upcoming test and made sure he covered all topics he thought may come up. I would highly recommend! Much appreciated, Dillon.
Course taught purely by tutor. Not a subject taken at school. Considering the limited teaching time was very pleased with the result. Would definately recommend this tutor for physics. - Higher Physics
Just to let you know we are delighted that Louise passed and she has got into her uni----her school weren't going to let her sit and said she would fail but with your help she didnt so thanks again--kind regards. - Maths Higher
I was more than pleased with Tom. He is conscientious, worked hard at his own preparation and even managed to make the lessons enjoyable for my boys... I've never heard them laugh in a maths lesson before now! - GCSE Maths
