Personal Description:

Hi! I'm Michelle a computing teacher from Dumbarton. I would describe myself as a fun but hard working person that knows what she wants and works hard to get it. I believe that things are possible if you put in the effort to make them possible.
As well as enjoying teaching and all things computing and technology I enjoy sports and keeping fit. I am a keen football fan and enjoying watching the game at all levels.
I spend my free time socialising with family and friends and enjoying the things in life I have worked hard for.

Training Experience:

I have been a qualified secondary teacher for 9 years, 2 of which a principal teacher. I have presented pupils at all levels of SQA exams.
As well as being a classroom teacher I offer revision workshops during Easter school holidays for SG credit and higher pupils.
My exam results have been very good and there are many pupils that recommend me as a fun, friendly and hard working tutor.

Training Approach:

I think tutoring is providing young people with help in a way that's not possible in a classroom, breaking topics down and putting a real-life spin on them to help you understand and remember.
I am clear and concise in my explanations and provide all the resources that you need to improve your grades.
My tutoring style involves you writing, saying and doing tasks to further your knowledge and understanding. As well as my time with you I provide continual support via email, so my help is never far away.

From Gerald (5/5): Michelle has tutored my 15yr old son maths for several month now. My son gets on great with her, enjoys his lessons and most importantly his confidence and ability have greatly improved. 99% in his last maths test says something!

From Lihong (3/5):

From jerwin (3/5): We has some misunderstanding with the tutorial and end up cancelling the tutor. She seems to have a very good credentials and if needed in the future to have a remote tutorial, then I think she will deliver good product.

Reply from: Michelle:Thank you for your feedback.

In regards to the confusion I made it clear from my very first message to you that it would be online tuition, this is evident in our message conversation history.

I am unsure as to why you thought otherwise as I gave no indication of anything other than online.

I do understand people not wanting online lessons but I was upfront about it.

I had spent time preparing a 2hr lesson for your daughter, organising resources and setting up an online website for the lesson to be cancelled only a few hours prior to it starting.

From Andy (5/5): Excellent early impression of Michelle and the teaching methods she uses to help understand maths principles.

From Linda (5/5): So far really pleased. Michelle is friendly, punctual and very professional.

From Angela (3/5): No major issue with michelle, She was very helpful, it was just due to holiday times clashing I needed things sorted a bit sooner.

From Harjit (5/5):

From Anderson (5/5): Fantastic … Michelle got back to me and we have arranged a time .

From Nyree (5/5): really pleased with Michelle's tutoring style. She helped my son through his resit maths within 2 sessions and is currently helping him through his national 5. Her calm and straightforward style works really well and my son has quickly learned to trust her technique.

From Alison (5/5): Michelle is an excellent tutor and provided great support to my daughter before her national 5 maths exam. My daughter was far less anxious when it came to exam time as a result of Michelle's help. Would highly recommend.

From Janice (5/5): Michelle is a fantastic tutor who is warm, friendly and quickly establishes a good rapport with her student. She makes learning fun and excels in her methodology when explaining new concepts. Michelle ensures that each step is thoroughly grasped before proceeding to the next. How lucky we are to have found her - she has made an immediate impact on my son's confidence in his own ability and he finds her teaching strategies interesting, relevant and easy to follow. Forget an apple for the teacher, this tutor deserves the whole orchard!

From Lynne (5/5): Michelle is an excellent Tutor and worked really hard in a short space of time to get my son up to speed for his Standard Grade Computing Exam. She was very accommodating to fit in with our specific needs at late notice and always turned up as and when agreed. I am extremely impressed by Michelle's standard of Tutoring and her knowledgeable and "in touch" approach to Standard Grades. She didn't have a lot of time with Reiss (wish I had enlisted your help sooner Michelle), but I believe she will be the main factor in my son passing this exam! Thanks very much Michelle!!! Would have no hesitation in recommending !!!! Lynne McPhee (and Reiss)

Reply from: Michelle:Thanks Lynne.

It really was my pleasure helping Reiss, he is a credit to you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the best results. If in the future I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. Take care. Michelle
