Information About Douglas

Personal Description: I am 51 year old father and grandfather with a Doctorate (University of Edinburgh) and I reside in the Hamilton area of Lanarkshire.
I am a very experienced and highly skilled tutor of Mathematics and Chemistry with an outstanding track record in presenting students for exams.
I have a current Enhanced Disclosure Check Certificate from Disclosure Scotland and am registered with the GTC Scotland.

Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching/tutoring in both maths and chemistry to 10-18 year olds for some 18 years. I have also operated as a marker for the SQA examinations board for 8 years. As such my knowledge of the syllabus for each level of these subjects and the style of the questions contained in examination papers allows me to prepare students in advance of exams with absolute command of the concepts involved and allows the students to face the papers with total confidence in their prospective performance.

Tutoring Approach: As one who is well-practised in this domain I know that in order to achieve the maximum potential from my students I have to develop a rapport in which they feel comfortable and create a setting which is stimulating; enjoyable and in which they feel they are growing in their knowledge and confidence.
I am prepared to tutor either in the tutees home or in Hamilton public library.

Qualifications:
  • 1996: PhD (University of Edinburgh) - University of Edinburgh (Doctorate)
  • 1990: B Sc (Hons) (University of Glasgow) - University of Glasgow (Bachelors)
  • 1997: PGCE (Maths/Chemistry) - University of Strathclyde (PGCE)

From Rhonda (5/5): (GCSE Chemistry) Thank you very much for your excellent input re Robert's first session, he was extremely encouraged by same and you have certainly paved the way forward for his continued progress. I am extremely grateful to you.

From Juliette (5/5): (A-Level Chemistry)

From Katy (3/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Douglas only came to us a couple of times. Didn't work out for my daughter. She wanted to concentrate on Chemistry but Douglas seemed to prefer to concentrate on Maths.

From Anne (5/5): (Secondary Maths) Dear Douglas
Have not heard back from you following a further email through First Tutors and one direct to **E-mail Address Removed**account. Are you still interested in being considered as a tutor?
Anne
