Jamie is a great tutor. He's super organised and his group lessons are great value. My daughter is much more confident with her Higher Chemistry than before.

From Leona
Charlotte is a great biology tutor for my son. She helps him by going through topics that he was struggling to understand and presets them in a way that he can get his head around. The sessions are engaging whilst covering each topic in detail, followed by practice exam questions to ensure his understanding.
Charlotte is friendly, flexible and overall an excellent tutor who I strongly recommend.
Hi Leona
Many thanks for the great feedback from the tutoring Charlotte has given you. She has been working with me this past year and provided excellent tutoring services all across Scotland and the UK, specifically students studying Maths and Sciences (Chemistry and Biology) following the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence (CfE).
Many thanks and Best wishes
Jamie
From Madison
Jamie is working well with Madison in the sessions she has had and hopefully this will continue until her exams are over. I feel Madison needs to utilise Jamie more with things she is struggling with, and not be scared to ask as Jamie is very approachable. Thank you for helping Madison
From Alison
Jamie has been a first rate tutor who has been able to break topics down for my child in NAT 5 maths in a way that her maths teacher has not. He is always available for questions and is professional with his communication.
From Scott
Excellent tutors, excellent service and a happy Daughter
Currently only 4 lessons in, but our Daughter is really enjoying her experience so far. She comes away from her lessons with Jamie feeling really happy and confident. The communication from Jamie (central tutors) is excellent. Our Daughter has already said she feels the improvements already in school.
From Richard
Very useful exercise running through the past paper. Clear instructions given about what needs to be completed before the next session.

Great!
From Jake
Excellent experience so far for my son who has praised Jamie’s tutoring methods. Approach, pace and straightforward explanations were key to improving his Maths skills, this was delivered well with intimate 1:1 appraisals leading to small group sessions. The experience has enabled my son to re-engage with Maths and is now enjoying the learning and experience. Thank you Jamie
From Lynne
Very friendly lots of information given
From Edwin
Jamie has been great at motivating our son to study, as his tutoring has continued we have seen a great change in our sons confidence in the subject and with that has come growing motivation as he feels he is doing better. A real saviour when you have a teenager who is very reluctant to study at all for his Highers!!
From Shari
Jamie in the short period of time you have been tutoring my son for his H Chemistry I have been very impressed. You put him at ease from initial introduction to the weekly sessions which are very structured & organised. His confidence has grown over night and he himself likes working with you , thank you.
From Raymond
Excellent tutor who put our son at ease with his Nat 5 maths and increased his confidence ahead of his exam.
Thank you, Raymond for the kind feedback.
Jamie
From Andrew
Was exactly what my son needed before his exams! Gave him a lot of confidence and helped clarify the concepts for him.
Thank you very much Andrew for the feedback, and good luck with the results.
Jamie
From Nicola
Robbie is enjoying his maths sessions with Jamie and it seems to be making a difference already. He's definitely less negative about maths!
From Ruth
My son has been attending Jamie's online group classes for Higher Chemistry. He has found these extremely helpful and is feeling much more confident about the upcoming exam. Jamie is very organised, he provides written information following each lesson and welcomes questions between lessons. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback Ruth, very much appreciated.
Jamie
From DAVID
We contacted Jamie to help our daughter with Higher Chemistry. From the outset, we could see that Jamie came with an excellent reputation and having achieved some quality outcomes. The point at which we were convinced that Jamie was right for us, was when he held a free 15 minute consultation with us all where he detailed the way he approached lessons and the specific ways he helped his students.
Out daughter took an instant shine to Jamie's approach and the way he spoke about his methods. It was a very easy choice to engage with Jamie to help achieve the results we were looking for.
Needless to say that Jamie has been fantastic. The ease in which he engages with all students in his group is noticeable and, more valuable, is the way he asks students individually if they understand what is being discussed and if they have any questions. In addition, all students have an open invitation to contact Jamie outside arranged classes to clarify or raise any areas with which they are struggling.
All-in-all, I think we would have struggled to find somebody with the attitude, approach and knowledge that we have seen from Jamie. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you very much indeed for this feedback David, very kind of you. Your daughter is doing excellent in the classes.
Thanks again
Jamie
From Collette

From Rhona

From Laura
My daughter's confidence in maths and chemistry has come on leaps and bounds since she started tutoring with Jamie.

She was very confident and happy going in to her maths prelims last week whereas before she started tutoring she was very anxious about it.
From Andrew
Jamie has been helping my son with his Higher Biology. This is the first year that my son has studied Biology so he had lots to learn.

My daughter has been joining online lessons for the last month. From the start Jamie has been very approachable, patient and has taken time out to speak to us about his approach and how the online lessons would work. My daughter is very comfortable with the lessons. Jamie is willing to help out with his tutorials and when my daughter has emailed him questions, he has always responded fully and quickly.

My daughter has been with Jamie for a few weeks now for Maths and Chemistry. She has been enjoying her sessions and finding them beneficial.

From Colin
Jamie is super organised and communicates really well about all aspects of the classes, the content and the admin. Jamie has been helping my daughter study towards her higher chemistry. She has a place in one of the small groups with two other students online. Since the start she had gained considerable confidence about the subject thanks to Jamie’s clear and patient teaching. She enjoys the online sessions and feels that she understands some of the key concepts much better than she did before. Jamie creates an open and friendly atmosphere where students can learn in a way that makes them comfortable but stretches them at the same time. I’d highly recommend Jamie’s classes.

From Rahat
Jamie has been tutoring my 15 year old daughter for a few weeks in Nat 5 Chemistry. All the sessions have been tailored so areas that were causing concern for her have been fully revised. Jamie is very flexible, patient and friendly in his approach and he has extensive knowledge on the subjects that he teaches. Each session is planned in advance and he emails all the notes after the session which has proved useful for reference purposes. With every session my daughters confidence in the subject has increased. If you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable tutor to motivate your child, I would highly recommend Jamie.

Jamie explains things very well to my Jamie and has set a very clear understanding to what they want to achieve through this. He also is excellent at communicating with us and is very flexible with days/times etc. All in all we are very happy with Jamie and would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor in maths.
From Claire
I was impressed with Jamie from the start - he responded to initial enquiries promptly and efficiently and made the whole process very simple.
My son was comfortable with him from the first lesson, and is happy with how the tutoring is going. Jamie is helping him to understand the maths he failed to grasp throughout the year at school, and my son says it is a big help. He is now more confident in areas he was struggling with before.
My initial plan was to work with Jamie over the summer to get my son up to speed before the start of the new year, but going forward I would hope to continue weekly lessons as they are undoubtedly beneficial.
From Kimberley

Jamie is a very polite and patient tutor who I would have no hesitation in recommending and I hope he will be a source of support to my children's education for the future.
